Gu Fei fell silent. She knew what Xing'er said was true; this era was just that harsh on women.
She stood up. "I'm leaving. You should eat something, or you'll have nothing left to throw up."
Xing'er managed a weak smile from her pillow. "You're truly a kind soul."
"I was never particularly nice to you in the past, yet you still came to see me."
Her voice was tinged with tears. "Little Fei, let me just give you one piece of advice. In the future, you must never end up like me."
"If a young woman doesn't respect herself, people will feel they can mistreat you however they please."
"Men... none of them are any good. They just lust after your body—" As Xing'er spoke, her voice grew quieter and quieter.
Gu Fei sighed and walked out.
