Madam Ping had attended to the Lady of Marquis Jingning for half a day before returning to her own courtyard. She had too many responsibilities to spend every day attending to Lady Bai.
Not long after Madam Ping returned to her courtyard, the maid Ban Yu came over and said, "It was someone from the Bai Family who told Madam about this." It was the Bai Family's idea to find a study companion for Mingzhu, and the people from the Bai Family wanted to send two maids over to Mingzhu, aiming to elevate the young lady's status so she could marry well in the future.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ping showed a cold smile. She had known that these people would attempt to drive a wedge, and that's why she had taken precautions earlier by telling Madam that Yueyao had lost her parents and had only avoided misfortune due to Master Xuan Tian's intervention.
