CHAPTER 25

In the early morning, Bai Lang awoke feeling refreshed and ready to greet her grandmother in the main hall.

As she made her way there, she couldn't help but notice the unusual behavior of the servants whenever she passed by.

"Xin yi."

she called out to the girl diligently walking behind her.

"walk faster and stay by my side."

"Yes, Third Miss." Xin yi responded.

"Have you heard of anything that happened this morning in the fu that I should know about?" Bai Lang asked.

She could see that Xin yi was visibly uncomfortable before regaining her composure.

"Replying to third miss."

"Master visited Rou Xue niang this morning," Xin yi replied. "and all the servants present witnessed Rou Xue niang being slapped across the face. Master ordered the servants to leave and never speak of it."

"But when this servant went to fetch third young miss morning meal." Xin yi continued, bowing her head pleadingly." This servant overheard the kitchen servants talking."
