After Feng Fuce escorted Bai Zhi'er back to Ruizhu Palace, he left.
In the evening, he was to report on government affairs in the Imperial Study Room.
When Eunuch Quan Xi led him inside, Feng Fuce heard a suppressed crying sound.
It was the voice of Su Yinling.
"Brother Lie doesn't know, that Gao Ziwen, he's such a beast. Before we even married, he beat me black and blue."
"So, I simply told my father, with such a family, it's better not to marry at all!"
Feng Fuce stood at the door and looked inside.
Su Yinling sat across from Bai Xilie, lowering her fair neck, wiping her tears.
On the table between them, there was also a small plate of pastries.
Presumably brought by Su Yinling as well.
Bai Xilie frowned deeply upon hearing this: "He actually hit you? I remember at first, his character was weak, he didn't talk much, how did he become like this."
"You should have written to me earlier to let me handle this for you, so he wouldn't have been able to bully you like this."
