"But what about you and Dad?" Ao Song asked worriedly.
Lady Zhong laughed, "Silly child, do you really think they dare do anything to us? Your dad and I aren't pushovers, and if we're forced, we'll leave too. Anyone who wants this lousy position can have it; we've wanted out for a long time."
Ao Song was amused by her mother's expression, and the gloom in her heart dissipated a lot.
"Are you sure? Won't they use the family rules to punish you?" She was still a bit uneasy.
"We didn't help you escape, so what crime is there? Once they confirm you helped Ruozhu and the others leave, they'll completely expel you from the family." Lady Zhong was somewhat reluctant to part with her daughter, stroked her head and continued, "Mom can tell the astrologer truly cares for you. Cherish a man who would die for you. You both should take care out there, don't come back to the Zhong Family."
Ao Song shook her head. "But then I wouldn't see you and Dad again? I can't bear to leave you."
