Chapter 1036: Save Bai Zhenzhu
Mrs. Zhang waved her hands again and again: “No, no, it’s alright for us to stand and talk.”
Bai Zhi was smart. She naturally understood what she was thinking, so she didn’t say much. She let them stand in the hall.
“You came to me, did something happen?” She asked.
Mrs. Zhang carefully put down the teacup, took a few steps forward, and knelt in front of Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er, auntie begs you, please save Zhenzhu.”
Bai Erzhu and Bai Fugui also knelt down.
Bai Zhi frowned: “Get up and talk.”
When the three of them didn’t move to get up, Bai Zhi added: “If you don’t get up, I’ll leave.”
Only then did Mrs. Zhang get up, with a shy look on her face: “I know, it’s shameless of us to make such a request, but Zhi’er, I’m a mother, watching my daughter suffer like that, I really, really can’t bear it.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “You can’t bear to see her suffer, but have you ever thought about how my mother will feel if I was dead?”
Mrs. Zhang bit his lip and was speechless.
Bai Zhi added: “It’s not that I’m cruel. To be honest, I never took revenge on Bai Zhenzhu. I don’t know what happened to her now, and I don’t want to know. But in any case, it’s the retribution she deserves.”
Mrs. Zhang raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She wanted to ask Bai Zhi to help due to her past relationship, but she couldn’t say it.
Past? What kind of relationship did they have in the past!
“If a person does something wrong, but didn’t get punished accordingly. Then this person will continue to do wrong things, more and more serious each time. Until no one can help her or save her. Mrs. Zhang, as a mother, you have done everything you should and can do.”
“She can have a mother like you who is willing to give everything for her. A mother who can even abandon her face and dignity. It is a blessing that she has cultivated in her three lifetimes. However, she become like this today because of her greed and evil thoughts. It has nothing to do with you, nor has nothing to do with me.”
Mrs. Zhang sat paralyzed on the floor, then covered her face and cried. Her heart was filled with grief. No matter how reluctant she was, it was time to give up, right?
“If you want, I can arrange a carriage for you to take you back to Qingyuan Town.”
They were a family of three, illiterate, and have nothing. It will be very difficult for them to gain a foothold in this place. Returning to Qingyuan Town was naturally the best choice.
She was also kind and righteous.
In the end, the three chose to go back. They could no longer enter Changyuan Houfu, so what was the use of staying here?
Bai Zhi was right, it was Bai Zhenzhu’s retribution that she ended up like this. As a mother, she has done everything she can, her daughter needs to atone for that sin.
Bai Zhenzhu waited day after day in Changyuan Houfu, but she never saw her mother. From expectation, in the beginning, she gradually became disappointed and even despaired. In the end, she threw a belt on the beam to end her life.
But who would have thought that the belt wouldn’t be able to bear her weight and break? When she woke up, she no longer dared to seek death. This will happen later in the story, no need to mention it for the time being.

After sending the Bai Family away, Bai Zhi went to the kitchen to make a few delicious meals and sent them to Dongfang Mu’s room.
Dongfang Mu was walking around the room with the help of his servants. When he saw her coming in, he immediately smiled: “Zhi’er you’re here!”
Bai Zhi stepped forward to support Dongfang Mu, and helped him to sit down at the dining table: “Grandpa, I made chicken porridge for you today, you can try it, it’s fresh.”
Dongfang Mu glanced at the food on the table. They were all soups and waters. Although they were all delicious, he was a little tired of eating them.
