He Ruoi didn’t say anything else.
Jiangli pasted a talisman on her.
He Ruoi saw her own body, seemingly becoming transparent, transforming into the form of a soul body.
Jiangli then said to her, "Go in."
He Ruoi nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and walked through the door into the He Family, full of tension.
She had been back and forth many tis, but for the first ti, entering felt so difficult.
Jiangli and Fu Shiyan watched her go in and then waited at the door.
The two of them waited at the door for about ten minutes before hearing heart-wrenching cries coming from inside.
There were cries from the elders and the children.
And... from He Ruoi herself.
Jiangli stood at the door, hearing the sound of children calling for their mother inside, feeling a bit dazed.
At this mont, she felt a weight on her fingertip.
Looking down, she saw Fu Shiyan holding her hand again.
Jiangli looked over, a bit puzzled.
Fu Shiyan gently squeezed her fingertip, saying nothing, just accompanying her.
This scene seed to have happened many tis before.
Jiangli’s gaze beca distant and lancholic, looking at Fu Shiyan, yet seemingly seeing events from long ago through him.
...
Xia Xin and Xun Tianhai and others stayed for a while in the inn.
Xun Tianhai called the local Unusual Affairs Managent Office to arrange everything and seeing that Jiangli hadn’t returned, everyone went to rest.
The inn had many rooms, and everyone casually found one.
They didn’t know when Jiangli and Fu Shiyan would return.
The next morning, when they gathered at the front door, they saw Jiangli and Fu Shiyan coming down from upstairs together.
Xia Xin saw them and imdiately ran over, "Ancestor, President Fu, when did you co back?"
"Last night." Jiangli said, letting out a big yawn.
Fu Shiyan added, "A bit past four in the morning."
Xia Xin glanced at the ti, it was just past six now, aning they had only slept for about two hours.
No wonder the ancestor looks so tired.
Xia Xin curiously asked, "Ancestor, what did you do last night?"
Jiangli rubbed her eyes and said, "Tired, no energy, don’t want to talk."
Xia Xin: "..."
Alright then.
He had better not ask more, so he said, "We just received a notification, the car will be here soon, let’s wait here for a while, and the ancestor can catch up on sleep when we’re on the road."
Jiangli feebly replied with an "Mm," walked over to a spot with no one, and leaned directly against the wall.
Xia Xin seriously suspected that she could fall asleep standing against the wall now.
Seeing this, Fu Shiyan walked over and stood beside Jiangli.
They returned a bit past four in the morning.
It was almost four when He Ruoi finally ca out of the house, with soft sobbing sounds still coming from inside, like the kind of crying that leaves one powerless.
He Ruoi was also sobbing uncontrollably, almost falling apart.
But she still ca out, asking Jiangli to take her to where she needed to go, to face the consequences of her mistakes.
Jiangli and Fu Shiyan took her out of the neighborhood and summoned Judge Cui to take her away.
Jiangli didn’t say much, just instructed Judge Cui to handle it officially.
After doing all this, the two finally returned.
Jiangli hadn’t slept much and was looking quite fatigued.
Fu Shiyan stood beside her, observing her sleepy state, just about to speak.
Jiangli suddenly leaned over, rested her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and softly said, "Let lean for a while."
Fu Shiyan held her hand and said gently, "Sleep, I won’t let you fall, I’ll call you when the car cos."
Jiangli murmured an "Mm," her breaths slowly lengthening, as if she was truly asleep.
