Although Fu Zhen was still mentally alert, physically she was struggling.
Before Fu Jun and the others arrived at the mansion, she needed to quickly rest.
Upon returning to Yixin Hall, she was met with the sight of Bixi, who was kneeling on the ground, crying like a tearful mess, with her face swollen like steamed buns.
Fu Zhen circled her halfway, bent down, and said, "Who hit you? This is harsher than I would be."
Bixi burst into tears, "Miss! I am guilty! I shouldn't have told you about the trouble with the third Mrs. Du. If I hadn't, you wouldn't have gone down, and if you hadn't gone down, you wouldn't have fallen for the Second Miss's plan and wouldn't have suffered this!"
"I just punished myself with ten slaps to vent your anger! Please have your meal first, and after you eat, you can continue to beat me!"
