Ye Zhiwei had no liking for Yu Jingchen, and she was completely baffled by Duan Meiyuan's attitude. When she spoke to Duan Meiyuan, she wondered if the feudal monarchical system had not yet been overthrown. How could Duan Meiyuan speak of hierarchy and class, and her mention of women was full of feudalism, completely taking women for granted as appendages of men?

She clearly felt that society was progressing and girls were becoming the apple of their families' eyes, so how did Duan Meiyuan come to see them as servants to their family?

Ye Zhiwei asked the staff if there was a rest room that was relatively far from Yu Jingchen's.

More people came to pay their respects at Grandma Qin's funeral today than expected. Most of them had no idea about the intricacies of the Qin family. Many of the patients Qin Manshu had helped before, upon hearing that their savior's only grandmother had passed away, almost all of them specially bought wreaths and came to pay their respects.

They were indeed too busy, which is why Ji Shuli was called in to help. The caregiver who was originally supposed to watch over Madam Qin was also called away at the last minute. They could only hurriedly give the key to the staff who were arranging for the guests to rest, and only told the staff not to let anyone else go in to rest, as there were already people inside.

The staff initially thought the caregiver meant the lounge was for special guests, but they wondered why she was given a key. Was the lounge door locked?

Ye Zhiwei requested that he arrange a quieter lounge, as the staff knew that Ms. Ye was Qin Manshu's VIP.

Knowing that the lounge was almost full, he didn't think too much about it and simply used the key the caregiver had given him to open the door ahead of time. Inside was Madam Qin, who was locked up.

Madam Qin was unusually lucid at this moment. She seemed to sense that the door had opened, and she suppressed her somewhat irritable emotions, waiting patiently for the door to open.

The staff member, unaware of the Qin family's situation, immediately apologized upon seeing that someone was indeed locked inside, saying, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know there were other people inside. Were you mistakenly locked in?"

"They must have seen I was asleep and were worried that others would disturb me." Madam Qin spoke after a long pause, trying to appear normal and speaking calmly.

The staff member then asked, "And you are...?"

“I am Manshu’s mother.”

"It's Madam Qin." Madam Qin's mental illness was never made public; she only told people that her daughter-in-law was not in good health and was not suitable to go out.

Upon hearing Mrs. Qin's words, the staff member immediately became very polite, his heart skipping a beat. So this was Miss Qin's mother. No wonder the caregiver had told him not to let anyone in. He immediately bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Qin, for disturbing your rest. I'll arrange another room for this guest outside."

"No need, let her in. I was just looking for someone to talk to." Madam Qin gripped the sofa cushion, clearly nervous. She was afraid of showing weakness. She wasn't always in a state of mental exhaustion when she was at the Qin family home; she was just rarely lucid, and even when she was, she was locked up.

The old lady didn't want to see her and asked Qin Manshu to take care of her. It wasn't that Madam Qin hadn't tried to see the old lady when she was lucid, but as soon as she said a word, the old lady felt that she had relapsed.

She was terrified whenever she saw Qin Manshu. Sometimes, even when she was fully conscious, she would still pretend to be crazy. She knew from the incident with the old lady that Qin Manshu was a madman.

She tried her best to remain calm.

The staff member was unaware of the situation, but upon hearing Madam Qin's words, he naturally led Ye Zhiwei into the lounge.

The door closed again.

The moment the door closed, Madam Qin lost control of her emotions; she practically ran to close the door again.

Ye Zhiwei was completely unaware of what was going on. She looked at the emotionally agitated Madam Qin with some surprise. She had hardly ever met Madam Qin, but because of her previous suspicions, she had specifically investigated Madam Qin. She looked at Madam Qin with some surprise, seemingly unsure of what to believe, because the Madam Qin in front of her looked so different from the one in the previous photos.

The woman's face was pale, almost bloodless, and she was very thin and haggard, with heavy dark circles under her eyes and a dark bluish tinge under her eyes.

Her action of running to lock the door was also very rough. After locking the door, her whole behavior became somewhat frantic. She suddenly grabbed Ye Zhiwei and desperately said, "Save me, please save me! I'm the next person she's going to kill. She's definitely planning to kill me..."

Ye Zhiwei's heart was pounding. She was a little hesitant to believe the woman's words, but the woman's words vaguely matched a certain guess in Ye Zhiwei's heart. Sure enough, when Ye Zhiwei cautiously asked who the person she was talking about was, the woman looked at Ye Zhiwei and said word by word, "Qin Manshu".

"She's not my daughter, this woman is a devil, a devil! She's not my daughter, she killed my daughter, she killed my daughter! Where is my daughter...?"

Ye Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat.

This time, she had already guessed further about what was wrong with Qin Manshu from Madam Qin's loss of composure. Looking at the emotionally agitated Madam Qin, her first reaction was to run away as fast as she could.

She tried her best to calm Madam Qin down. Taking a deep breath, she said to Madam Qin, who was clinging to her tightly, "Please calm down, please calm down..."

She could sense that Madam Qin was mentally unstable and was blocking the door. She could only take a deep breath to calm Madam Qin down. She definitely couldn't ask for help right now. The only way for her to protect herself was to leave the room and run away as fast as she could.

She was touching her phone and had even decided to call the police, but when she took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at it, she realized that there was no signal. She didn't know if there was no signal in the entire cemetery or if it was just in this rest room.

Ye Zhiwei tried to comfort Madam Qin, "Madam Qin, don't worry, I will definitely help you, but there is no signal here right now. Shouldn't you let me leave this room first, so that I can find someone to help you and call the police..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiwei's call to the police further agitated Madam Qin. She had called the police before, more than once, but no one was willing to believe her. Ye Zhiwei's reassurance made Madam Qin subconsciously feel that this girl didn't believe her either. She was sure that she would act like the police, pretending to believe her, and then turn around and go to Qin Manshu, even telling Qin Manshu about her request for help.

Ye Zhiwei had already appeased Madam Qin and was about to leave after unlocking the door, but unexpectedly, Madam Qin suddenly grabbed Ye Zhiwei as if she were possessed, saying, "I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you, you have to believe me, I'm not crazy now, Qin Manshu is not my daughter, she is not my daughter—"

She was only halfway through her sentence when Ye Zhiwei heard Qin Manshu's footsteps as he returned.

It was the sound of high heels clicking on the floor. Ye Zhiwei was heartbroken: It's over, it's completely over.

Sure enough, the door was pushed open, and the person who opened it was Qin Manshu.
