Empress Shu looked around, calling over a maid at the side of the palace. Strangely she asked: "Where is Second Young Miss Bai? Why is she not here?"
The palace maid looked at her, then looked at the Empress Dowager, speaking but then hesitating.
"Second Miss…..Second Miss Bai...."
"What happened? What happened to Qi'er?"
"Yes, why is Qi'er not here? Is it because she is looking after her sister?" Even the Empress Dowager questioned.
When Cui Qiao reported to them, she only said it was Valiant Martial Manor's Young Miss. Both Empress and the Empress Dowager naturally assumed that the protagonist of this scandal was Third Young Miss Bai!
This was due to the rumours they had heard regarding her associations with outsiders, and a wastrel that was not properly raised by a mother and father. It would not be unusual for such a thing to happen.
But Bai Ruo Qi was not the same. In everybody's mind, she is the perfect example of a lady!
