In the Yamen, Qiu Bai was locked in an empty cell. He looked at the walls that were dark and grimy with his face scrunched up in disgust, he has never thought that something like this will ever happen to him but now that it has happened he was more and more dissatisfied with this ending.
Why? Why was he caught and brought to this place? He suffered just as much as Fang Chi when Yu Dong's mother refused to get married to him! So why? Did they not deserve to suffer? Why was he the only one who was punished like this?
Qiu Bai was upset and scared since he was worried that the yamen officers will treat him unkindly. But when he saw that no one was bothering him and even gave him an empty cell he heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he was alone, there was nothing that he has to worry about.
