Yue Xin had been playing around and eventually forgot about her unhappiness, but Chu Xi had been in the side hall, reprimanded severely by Rong Sheng. Tears hung heavy on her eyelashes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
When Rong Sheng disciplined Rong Xi, her temperament, though different from a child's, sometimes resembled her own: cold and merciless. But she never initiated physical punishment, thus her sense of powerlessness.
This made Rong Sheng feel that after spending too much time with Chu Yifeng, she had picked up some of his habits.
But she was not Chu Yifeng; she didn't have his remarkable ability and his detached status.
She couldn't afford to act so recklessly!
"Mother..." Chu Xi knew she had misspoken, and hurriedly corrected herself, "Aunt Rong Sheng, I want to see Father."
Rong Sheng's lips tightened slightly, "I'll apply the medicine to him."
With that, she turned and walked behind the screen.
