Ye Shixian froze, a flicker of hesitation crossing her face.
That was right. Her father's life had been spared only because the Ministry of Justice hadn't found irrefutable proof that he had murdered his own brother.
If they went to ask Ye Chutang for help now, she would have no reason to refuse!
But the thought of having to beg Ye Chutang made her stomach churn with indignation.
Ye Shixian stood rooted to the spot for a long while before finally snapping impatiently,
"Just stay out of it! I'll decide what to do about this myself!"
Mrs. Gao was useless right now, only causing more trouble. She was getting on Ye Shixian's last nerve.
She glanced up at the sky.
'At this hour, I wonder how far Father has gotten?'
'But... if I'm going to suffer, Ye Chutang won't be getting any peace either!'
...
Ye Shixian changed into a simple, plain-colored dress and set out for Liuwan Lane on foot.
Many people noticed her along the way.
