The Meng family's manor returned to calm once more. Bai Xue sat leisurely sipping tea next to Bai Lian, in peace. She seemed uninterested in anyone, but in truth, Bai Xue had already surveyed everyone in the hall.

Now, the head of the Meng family was Meng Hao, the only son of Meng Xian and Bai Lian. Meng Xian and Bai Lian had two children, Meng Hao and Meng Shi.

Meng Hao married only one wife, Ren Ying Suen, who was the mother of Meng Lan. As for Meng Shi, she married off long ago but had no children. People rumored that she suffered from a strange disease, but the truth remains unknown. Fifteen years ago, Meng Shi adopted a foster child, Meng Li.

The Meng family was considered a peaceful one, for the men of this family were all devoted and did not indulge in trouble.

Bai Xue greatly admired Meng Xian and Meng Hao because, in this era, women preferred to attach themselves to strong and powerful men to elevate their status.
