Word was that Song Xilan had been personally escorted home by Zhou Junlin last night. Song Xingfeng had immediately invited him into the study, and the two spoke for a long time. When Zhou Junlin left, his expression wasn't very good.
Afterward, Song Xilan was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. Mrs. Liu went to plead for her, but ended up being punished alongside her. Song Xingfeng even specifically sent guards to keep watch. Early this morning, when the ancestral hall doors were opened, the mother and daughter were carried out, looking weak.
Shuang Ye had heard all of this from Zhang Xi.
Xuan Mei returned the next day as well. Her face was a little pale, and when Song Lianhe asked where she had been the previous night, she wouldn't say.
After breakfast, the group headed to the clinic.
From a distance, they saw a tall woman in a veiled hat standing before the shop, peeking inside from time to time.
