Fan Lili was caught.
Right there in her biological father, Fan Hui's, hospital room.
It's said that she stormed in late at night dressed as a nurse, a knife in her hand, stabbing wildly at the bed.
She was apprehended on the spot by the men Fan Huang had stationed there in advance.
That very night she was bound and secretly sent off to a far-off place that would take a day and a night by train to reach. They located a mental hospital there, signed some agreement, and she was admitted for treatment. She was to remain there until she was deemed 'normal.'
As for when she might be 'normal,' everyone had their guess, though no one dared to speak it aloud.
The crisis looming over Suizi's family had been averted.
Upon hearing from Fan Huang that Fan Lili was captured, Suizi did not rejoice. Instead, she went into the house, cut a few filaments from her treasured wild ginseng, clutched them in her hand, and her expression grew resolved as though she was prepared for death.
