With a wave of her hand, Bai Ruozhu ordered the royal palace guards to take the two back to the Qi Family. During this process, Qingyan didn't speak a word in their defense. After the people were sent away, Bai Ruozhu asked him, "Aren't you worried?"
"Life and death are predestined. Even if they die, it's their own fault. I have been too indecisive," Qingyan replied.
Bai Ruozhu laughed. Qingyan was originally a clear-headed man, but due to his long absence from home and his guilt towards his family, he had become hesitant regarding family matters, putting himself in a disadvantageous position.
Being taught by someone younger what it means to be resolute and decisive made Qingyan himself blush. He knew he could not continue like this.
