Chapter 5: The Bound-Foot Girl in the Domestic Home during the Republic of China (Part 5)



"Mom knows."

Madam Yuan went back to her room to pack her things, while Bai Yan turned her wheelchair and went to the front of the hall again. Her slightly cold gaze fell on Bai Jiye and Chen Xiuer, who were fast asleep inside.
