At first, she was terrified, anxious, begging for forgiveness, but eventually, she became numb, resigned, and learned to turn a deaf ear, a skill mastered in just a few years. Madam Yin even found some twisted comfort thinking, although he neglected her and refused to share a bed, and showed no concern for her, at least he didn't seek other women, which showed some respect for her. At least he had left her with a daughter.
In front of Yin Zhiqing, Madam Yin acted as if nothing was wrong. Thus, Yin Zhiqing never realized that his parents had become strangers to each other, which was highly abnormal.
