310. Bai Family's Eldest Daughter, Autumn Gathering
Just before noon, Bai Yuncheng and Madam Sun consciously took their leave. Before departing, Madam Sun invited Ye Li to attend a women's gathering called the Autumn Flower Meeting, to be held in two days in the Capital City. Although the imminent change of rulers in Xiling Imperial City was no secret, not all influential figures in the imperial city locked themselves up at home. Instead, social gatherings became more frequent. Heads of households and the Madams of Houses would gather to probe each other's strategies and intentions. Close relatives would take the opportunity to discuss their escape routes; all these required various feasts. After all, although the Emperor of Xiling was about to move south, most of the power in Xiling City was still in the hands of the imperial family. In particular, those with ulterior motives lacked the courage to openly visit Prince Ding as the Bai Family and the Sun Family did.
