The backyard.
Chen Xishan was packing up.
Lu'er, wiping tears, was helping her.
Chen Xishan, calm now, showed strength as she said to Lu'er, "Even without the Huo Family, I can still seek refuge with He Jitang! He wouldn't deny me a bed."
Lu'er was stunned.
Chen Xishan, unaware of Yingzi's accident, pondered, "With my people by He Jitang's side, they will surely speak for me."
Lu'er burst into laughter through her tears: "I knew there'd be a way out! You have skills, grand young madam!"
Chen Xishan also smiled.
But she remained mostly despondent.
That evening, she left with Lu'er, only to find Huo Shaoting awaiting her at the gate.
Chen Xishan was stunned.
But her heart was filled with hatred for him: the man she loved had conspired with others, bringing her to such a state.
Chen Xishan kept her pride: "Huo Shaoting, do you have more to say?"
Huo Shaoting spoke elegantly, "When you leave... I will take care of Ling and Xi."
