"Yes, I've punished all the servants in the East Courtyard; no one is allowed to intrude without my orders."
Jiang Chengzi felt heartbroken at the thought of Sang Yuqin being bullied by those people.
Ji Ruyan pursed her lips and gave him a deliberate side glance, "Jiang Jiang, do you really think this is how you protect Yuqin?"
"Then what? How do you want me to act?"
Jiang Chengzi looked at Ji Ruyan as if he were at a loss, not knowing what true protection meant.
Ji Ruyan sighed, "True protection isn't about removing all dangers from her surroundings. What you're doing isn't protection; it's confining Yuqin. Without people she can engage with, there's no danger, but how is that different from a caged bird? What you should do is guard her side, stepping in to help when she's in danger; that's genuine protection."
Hmm?
Why did it feel like she was talking about her own man when she said that?
Upon second thought, Luo Shunchen indeed treated her in that manner.
