Fengyu could not empathize with Zhou Xuejia's tragic fate. In her view, Zhou Xuejia's life had already been quite good compared to the women of West State forced into banditry, whose circumstances were far more miserable and dire. When the Marchioness expelled Zhou Xuejia, she ensured she had enough silver coin and shops to live without worry for the rest of her life. After raising her for ten years, the Marchioness couldn't bear to let her adopted daughter suffer a life of homelessness. Zhou Xuejia's downfall was her own doing—no one else could be blamed.
Zhou Xuejia admitted her mistakes frankly and expressed a desire to turn over a new leaf, much to Fengyu's surprise, as she had anticipated Zhou Xuejia would continually attempt to justify her actions.
