All the listeners present clapped and cheered.
Except for Bai Yaoyu.
Bai Zhi'er looked at her Third Brother, apparently still not understanding why this story deserved applause.
But when he glanced around and saw everyone shouting, he followed along, clapping and praising too.
Bai Zhi'er pressed her fingers to her brow. "So dumb!"
The story made Fang Youzhen frown deeply as she listened.
Behind them, Ke Shouwang instead sighed in admiration. "Miss Runhe is really impressive—just a few words, and she actually saved a family."
Bai Zhi'er suddenly turned her head and stared at him.
Ke Shouwang's tone of amazement faltered, and he asked quietly, "Did I… say something wrong?"
Bai Zhi'er knitted her brows. "Why do you think that counts as saving a family? A father cruel enough to sell his own daughter to a brothel."
"Now that his son despises him, only then does he remember the daughter he sold off."
