Qiu Ruyue, who was struck on the back of the head, had gone blind.
They couldn't settle accounts with the Xuanyuan Family, so Qiu Dezhi ordered a beating for Qiu Lan with a heavy paddle, then drove her out of the Qiu Residence.
And just like that, the matter wasn't pursued any further.
The Qiu Family called for many doctors to treat Qiu Ruyue's blindness, but they all shook their heads, expressing their powerlessness over her condition.
Having treated her for the greater part of a year without success, the Qiu Family began to lose heart gradually.
During this time, Qiu Ruyue hadn't once thrown a tantrum or wept bitterly.
Not because she wasn't heartbroken, but because heartache was futile.
Besides, crying for too long could damage the eyes, and she still harbored hopes of regaining her sight; from now on, she must take good care of her eyes.
Upon hearing of the incident, the He Family showed no particular reaction.
