Perhaps it was because Chu Baihan's voice was too gentle that the two women gradually calmed down as well.
Only then could Chu Baihan clearly see their faces.
They were quite beautiful, but their faces were so filthy, probably not having been washed for months.
And their clothes, they were so ragged that they barely covered their bodies.
They appeared younger than both her and Nan Xing, why were they subjected to such suffering?
Chu Baihan, with mixed feelings, took steps towards the inside of the courtyard.
What she saw next was a scene she feared she would never be able to forget in her lifetime...
The dirty, unkempt courtyard resembled a place for confining animals.
More than twenty women lived there.
Some were eating dirt off the ground, others sat on rocks giggling foolishly, and a few were persistently pulling out their own hair...
What they all had in common was the occasional foolish laughter, and the sporadic cursing and swearing.
