Qing'er didn't descend the mountain. She chose to stay on the summit to console her mother. Xia Yue, who seemed to have gone mad, berated Guo Yuyun, furious and disappointed. It wasn't just scolding; it was a surge of fear and worry, as well as uncertainty about how to face Song Zheng'an and others who were still on the mountain.
What was meant to be a fine wedding had turned out this way, leaving everyone dumbfounded, uncertain of what to do.
There were many matters Qing'er needed to attend to, so she delegated the task of searching for Guo Yuyun to Song Xizhi, knowing he would leave no stone unturned in his search.
"How could you do this, hiding it for so long, couldn't you keep it hidden for one more day? You just had to let her know now," Xia Yue lashed out at Qing'er.
Qing'er was at a loss for words, and although Luo Rui tried to explain on her behalf, not a single word was taken to heart by Xia Yue.
