She wasn't stupid

The Bai family lacked wealth and reputation when compared to most of the noble families of the capital of Zhou. The golden crown it appeared to wear was empty inside and it wouldn't take much to smash it into pieces. Nevertheless, its social standing was still something commoners could only dream of.

Thus it was difficult for Bai Yue to fully comprehend Liu'er's worries. From her childhood to her death, Bai Yue never cared about money and food. Or lodging. She never went a day without a roof over her head to shield her from the glare of the sun and the cold embrace of the wind. Taking a stroll outside on a snow day was a choice, not something she was forced to do.
