"No—! Don't go! You can't break off the engagement, no! Mother, help me, I've always planned for you, now please help me, beg them, go ask them not to break off the engagement, please..." Ji Liruo suddenly lifted her head to look at the departing back of Anning, stood up, and shook Madam Ji's shoulders frantically as she roared.
Madam Ji's expression was complicated. She tightly hugged the nearly delirious Ji Liruo, then closed her eyes, tears slowly streaming down.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Madam Ji anxiously awaited news from the Dingguo Mansion about the broken engagement, then turned to look at Ji Liruo, who sat dazed by the window with vacant eyes staring outside, her heart filled with pain and regret.
