In the afternoon, after clearing out her stall, Lin Ping'er told Bai Ruozhu about Bai Ruolan's plea for help. Bai Ruozhu scoffed, saying: "She has her own mother. If she can't cope, she still has her uncle and aunt, doesn't she? What can we do to help?"
After hearing this, Lin Ping'er also felt it unnecessary and inappropriate to help. However, Bai Yihong, when informed about the matter, sighed heavily all night. It was his niece after all, and her offences weren't as unforgivable as those of Sanlang.
Two days later, Bai Zepei went to take the resumed Child Student Exam. Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zehao accompanied him to the examination venue.
"Big brother, little sister, you should go home. I'll return by myself once the examination is over," said Bai Zepei.
