She knew that Gong Ziming didn't remember many things now.
He had long forgotten any past grievances between him and Bai An.
That's why I went to his place tonight.
Thinking about it now still terrifies Madam Gong.
Bai An is notoriously reckless.
If Yunxi hadn't been by his side that night, Madam Gong couldn't imagine what might have happened to him.
Thinking of this, Madam Gong sighed.
“Yunxi is also injured. I’m going to see her.”
Madam Gong is leaving.
Gong Ziming suddenly called out to her, "Mom."
Madam Gong was stunned and turned around.
"Zi Mo?"
She was somewhat surprised.
When he called her name, she thought she had returned to the past.
"Is your sister alright? Is she in pain?"
"..." Madam Gong's eyes reddened, she lowered her head and sighed.
Gong Ziming threw off the covers and got out of bed. "I'm going to see her."
Madam Gong exclaimed "Eh!" and quickly stopped him.
"She's fine."
His hand had both new and old injuries, and Madam Gong was worried about him.
"You should focus on recovering from your injury. You can go see a doctor once you've healed."
...
After the incident, the second concubine tried several times to rescue Bai An.
But she always ran into a wall when she went to the housekeeper. With no other option, she could only bring gifts to Gong Ziming and apologize to him.
The second concubine knew that Bai An was really too playful.
But her brother only had one son, Bai An, and he entrusted him to her when he died.
She couldn't let anything happen to him.
She couldn't bear to see the Bai family line die out.
When I went to see Gong Ziming, Madam Gong was also there.
Upon hearing that she had come to plead for Bai An, Madam Gong's face immediately fell.
"If it weren't for Yunxi risking her life to save us this time, Zimo would have been dead long ago."
"Bai Feng." She called the second concubine by her name directly. "You are a mother too. If it were Zi Li, Zi Xiu, or Zi Qi who were injured today, how would you feel?"
I'm afraid even she, as the mother, would personally take to the streets and stab someone with a knife.
Madam Gong had always believed that harmony in the family brings prosperity.
She doesn't compete or fight; she just wants to be happy with her husband and children.
But because she was honest, these people took advantage of her.
"Sister, I understand how you feel, but An'er..."
The second concubine still wanted to exonerate Bai An.
Madam Gong narrowed her eyes, stood up, and said sharply, "Enough, Bai Feng."
The second concubine was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment, "..."
In her line of sight, Madam Gong stepped closer to her.
The second concubine felt inexplicably guilty.
She lowered her head, her voice still lingering in her throat, "Sister."
"Bai Feng, if you're only here today to plead for your nephew, then go back."
“I’m telling you, he hurt my son this time, and I will never let him get away with it.”
Thump.
Madam Gong said, "Hong'er, see the guests out."
"Second concubine, please."
There's no room for discussion on this.
The second concubine panicked and blurted out without thinking, "Sister, isn't Zimo also at fault?"
One sentence once again caught Madam Gong's attention.
She turned around, her face cold. "What did you say?"
“If it weren’t for the fire that Zi Mo set, my nephew wouldn’t have been disfigured, and he wouldn’t be like this today.”
"Bai Feng".
“You married into the Gong family a few years before me, and I respect you, but there are some things you can’t do without distinguishing right from wrong.”
They didn't appreciate my kindness and gentle words.
The second concubine's temper has flared up now.
"Sister, your son is a good boy, but didn't he also commit arson and murder?"
If it weren't for the master intervening on her behalf, she would never have let this matter go so easily.
