Song Qinghuan continued, "But Bai Rubing truly fell in love; she went mad for him and, even after his death, she kept his body hidden in her own house."
Her emotions in turmoil, Song Qinghuan sighed inwardly. Initially, Bai Rubing's feelings for Shi Yuhuan were an obsession, while her love for Shi Guozheng was genuine. However, Shi Guozheng simply used her, and she never knew, dying with the belief that she and Shi Guozheng shared a true love.
"Shi Guozheng must know that it wasn't you who killed your father, but the old master," Song Qinghuan said softly.
"Shi Guozheng approached Bai Rubing in hopes of using her to worsen your relationship with Zhan Jie and to cause us trouble, because Shi Guozheng has always believed that it was I who killed his father. He doesn't trust me. He belongs to a different faction within the family," Shi Yuhuan replied.
