"You shouldn't have saved her," the middle-aged man said blandly.
I know, Yan Qing thought.
Though violence can solve many problems, not all problems can be resolved through violence alone. Like An Cuihua's predicament, helping her drive away the Li family's house servants was just the first step, and the more important step is how to settle her—if one only helps her resolve the immediate crisis and then leaves her unattended, it merely postpones the time when she will be caught by the Li family.
Redeem her freedom for her? And what if she gets sold again?
Give her money to escape? A lone girl with money going elsewhere, her end might be worse than honestly joining the Li family.
Therefore, after understanding the situation, Yan Qing did not take action immediately because he could save her for a moment but could not save her for a lifetime.
If not handled well, he might even ruin her for life.
