Her face instantly contorted and contorted, her brows furrowed, her teeth clenched, and she let out a low moan.
Zhang Wan sat quietly to the side, watching Zhao Rou's pained expression without feeling a ripple in her heart.
This is the consequence Zhao Rou must bear, and it is also the last chance she gave Zhao Rou.
She stood up, walked to Zhao Rou's side, and gently patted her shoulder.
"Rou'er, everyone makes mistakes. It is the best thing to admit your mistakes and correct them. But not all mistakes will give you the chance to correct them. I hope you can remember this lesson and be a better person in the future."
Zhang Wan's voice was calm and indifferent.
Zhao Rou raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
She looked at Zhang Wan, trying to find a trace of sympathy or pity in her eyes.
But all she saw was indifference and resolute indifference.
Zhao Rou recalled the scene of Liu Yun killing Yin Huan with a hairpin to protect herself, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
She couldn't tell whether the mistress was truly looking out for her or Liu Yun was truly looking out for her.
Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
Putting aside the current pain, if the child in her womb were to be born, the Duke's mansion would surely discover that the child was not Li Huai'an's. At that point, she would face certain death, not just being sold into a brothel like her birth mother.
From this perspective, Zhang Wan was considering her best interests.
Zhao Rou knew she had no way out and could only silently endure all the pain and torment.

She stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar yard.
Liu Yun was betrayed, and Yin Huan died.
The courtyard was empty, and Zhao Rou couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I hate...I hate it so much...Lekui..."
Seeing Zhao Rou's distraught state, Le Kui felt a pang of pity.
But then again, she brought this upon herself.
"Le Kui, if only you were here..." Zhao Rou murmured.
Le Kui is straightforward and will stop anything she believes is wrong, even if it means getting beaten up by her mistress and aunt.
Even Zhang Wan, the mistress of the house, treated her differently because of this.
A while ago, Le Kui's mother fell ill, so she took two months' leave, which Zhang Wan readily approved.
Le Kui thought to herself, "I suppose that at that time, the mistress already knew what had happened at Baoqing Courtyard and was preparing to deal with Aunt Liu."
Silver Ring is timid and would definitely not report it voluntarily.
But she's different; she'll definitely do everything in her power to stop it.
It seems the mistress wanted to spare her life, so she took this opportunity to send her away.
