So, Lu Zhaozhao took her away under the pretext of punishment.
If she had told her not to be afraid and that she would help her, she might have become even more wary.
This child might have been beaten countless times by her uncle and auntie for those very words.
She would instinctively resist those who could truly save her, in order to avoid the beatings.
Lu Zhaozhao herself had been manipulated by Wen Qingyu before, so she was all the more aware of how bad these bad people could be.
Before long, Lu Zhaozhao brought her back to her own room.
Lu Zhaozhao looked at Yuan Yuan quietly for a few seconds, then spoke slowly, "Take off your coat."
Yuan Yuan clenched her small hands tightly; even the doll she was holding was trembling. But she obediently took off her coat.
It had been quite cold outside just now, that's why Yuan Yuan was wearing a jacket.
The room, however, was warmer by comparison, so even if she took off her coat, she wouldn't be too cold.
