Seeing Mu Wanruo's distress, Qin Zhi said, "Given the lesson from when Ming Wei and the Shi family caused a scene at the Rong Mansion, I doubt anyone would be so bold as to openly accuse you of being unfilial.
But it's inevitable that the gossips will whisper among themselves.
So, you must not meet with Mrs. Zhang again. Every time you see her, you are hurting Rong Wan Yun."
Mu Wanruo replied tearfully, "But that's my mother. How can I not see her?"
"But your mother will be the ruin of you," Qin Zhi said. "If you insist on destroying yourself, I can't save you."
With that, Qin Zhi flicked his sleeve and left the room, which was lit with dragon and phoenix candles.
Watching Qin Zhi's retreating figure, Mu Wanruo wept in silence.

Wei Mingsang had already been kneeling for four hours, and the sky was growing dark.
