If Gu Junzhu arrives first, the first thing she would do upon leaving here is to sever all ties with the Ye Family.
From then on, she owes them no debt of gratitude. She and the Ye Family would part ways on hostile terms.
If Mr. Zhang, the man mentioned by the kidnapper, arrives first, once she's rescued, she'll treat her wounds. Once she's recovered, she'll kill Wu Qizhen, even if it means dying with her.
Her hands and feet are bound, rendering her immobile.
Two women carry her into the bathroom. They don't loosen her restraints, but rather, use scissors to cut off her clothes and dubiously raise her into a bathtub.
The bathtub is filled with flower petals and scented oils, which smell sweet yet sting Ye Xingbei's whip wounds painfully.
Ye Xingbei writhes in agony, uncontrollable tears streaming down her face as her body spasms with pain.
The two women seem oblivious, scrubbing her from head to toe with a loofah.
