Bai Zepei didn't conceal anything, saying with a stern face, "Most of those women are innocent, but some don't know what's good for them. I'm aware of what happened before."
"Did someone come to complain to you? I saw their plight and didn't want to say much. You shouldn't fuss over this trivial matter with them either." It wasn't Bai Ruozhu being magnanimous; she simply felt it was all in the past and couldn't care less about it.
"You don't know what happened later." Bai Zepei began to tell everyone.
"At the time, those women were settled in, and Ma Quanli hadn't yet been detained because we wanted to see what else he might say. Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked: How can you interrogate anyone when the female chief doctor has beaten them like this? At the time, a woman voluntarily spoke up, saying they were the ones who beat him. They were harshly tortured by the madam and Yang Laosan, which stirred up their anger, leading them to beat him together."
