She didn't know why her head hurt so much whenever she thought of her mother.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Ruozhi and Jin Xiwen asked to enter through the side door because the main door was too eye-catching. This was the only time in her life that she didn't want to be the center of attention.

Tang Ruozhi got out of the car with great difficulty. There were blue and red marks on his hands from being whipped.

Her thighs and back were really painful, but she endured it, pushed open the side door and slipped in. She looked left and right, and when she found no one was there, she lifted her skirt and moved slowly and carefully with difficulty.

There were few people at the side door, which was very close to Tang Ruozhi's room. Even though she was in pain all over, she slowly moved back to her room.

After closing the door, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster. Fortunately, fortunately no one saw her.

It's already afternoon, hasn't her mother come to see her?

Maybe she forgot today or she went to have a party with her hypocritical sisters.

Anyway, luckily her mother didn't notice that she came back from outside.

Otherwise, if you don't come home at night, you will be punished according to the family rules.

She just wanted to have a good sleep and recuperate at home for a few days. Anyway, she didn't have the face to see Helan Ruizhe.

As soon as she opened the curtain to the inner room, she was almost scared to death. Sitting on her tidy bed was Mrs. Tang, her mother.

"Mother, mother?"

Tang Ruozhi didn't remember how he pronounced the syllable. He only remembered his trembling voice, which was not very pleasant to hear because it was filled with fear and anxiety.

"You still remember to come back?"

Mrs. Tang closed her eyes, a hint of an ambiguous smile on her lips—definitely not a good sign. She didn't open her eyes either, and in the dim light, her face looked pale, like a female ghost in the Shura Palace.

"I……"

Tang Ruozhi was so scared that she didn't know what to say. She had so much grievances but no one to talk to. She was going to be scolded when she came back, and might even be beaten soon.

How could there be such a pitiful young lady like her?

"House Rule 386!"

"Anyone who does not return home for more than four hours at night will be punished according to the family rules. If it exceeds five hours, the punishment will be doubled."
