Madam Sou waited until the girls were no longer in sight or earshot before inquiring, "Is the room prepared?"
Su Rou Xue replied, "I have arranged the west room near the main hall. Sometimes Bai Sheng uses it to rest. "
What she failed to mention was how she had called Bai Kang the previous night and tearfully admitted to going along with her brother's idea, pretending to be innocent as she sobbed uncontrollably.
It had seemed as though she hadn't even considered the idea but now her her father-in-law frightened her away.
Clearing her throat, Su Rou Xue looked at her sister-in-law, wanting to emphasize that it wasn't her fault and she didn't want to betray her maternal family.
However, she had to prioritize her own safety and that of her daughter, just as Bai Lang had advised her. Only Bai Lang could help Su Rou Xue after she found a good marriage.
"How will you manage to get Bai Sheng into the room?" she asked after a brief pause.
