Bai Zepei managed to hold back, but Bai Zehao couldn't resist and asked: "Little sister, how did you guess that? Did Guizhi tell you?"
Bai Ruozhu shook her head and said, "I just guessed it. In his mind, the worst thing for me would be to be a widow for the rest of my life." She was not afraid of being a widow or abandoned. Having no one else to fight for Dengdeng was the best result for her. Couldn't she remarry if she wanted to? Or, when she had money, she could adopt a reliable stepfather for Dengdeng.
However, what Bai Yibo said was "to be a widow for life," which implied that Bai Ruozhu could not remarry in her life, or if she did, her husband would die. This was really malicious!
