The former Sima Ruodan was a bit bold but a simple and kind-hearted girl. To people... especially family, she had no defenses at all. She hadn't even met Xue Renyi, so if her engagement was taken, it was taken; she didn't care that much. But they forced her mother to death! This... Sima Ruodan could never forgive!
Sima Ruodan was sobbing uncontrollably, looking up at Bai Qingyan with overwhelming sorrow: "I can give up anything, but I can't give up my mother! They deceived my mother utterly!"
She clutched her gown tightly, unable to stop crying: "My mother... took her own life! She believed wholeheartedly that by taking her own life, the Sima family would finally make me the true daughter of the Sima family! They tricked my mother! They killed her! I no longer have her... they killed my mother! They forced her to death! I must make the entire Sima family pay with blood!"
