Bai Wanwan looked at the brother and sister before her—one tearfully begging for forgiveness, the other demanding to be punished as well, his face etched with guilt. She was at a loss for words.
"Yes, I understand. You two should go for now." She needed some time alone.
Jiao Yin knew she would be leaving soon. He longed to gaze at her a little longer, to exchange just a few more words.
But he knew her emotions were in turmoil, so he said no more. He simply pulled Jiao Yue away, who kept looking back, reluctant to leave and still wanting to say something.
After they left, Bai Wanwan took a deep breath, walked out of her room, and found Yin Ze playing with the little ones.
"Yin Ze," she began, "go find Zhu Xiu and Jin Yi. Tell them that if Hua Han shows up again, they are not to stop him. They are to bring him directly to me."
Yin Ze looked at her and nodded. Without another question, he immediately spread his wings and flew off to deliver the message.
