Winter was close by and night time arrived earlier. The atmosphere was already windy but, at the entrance of XiGuang stood Shi Meifen with a cloak wrapped around her figure and a lantern in her hand.
Seeing as no one arrived for a long time, she was about to get her hopes up that Bai Yun had forgotten about Lu Jingye when Bai Yun's head servant, Mama Cao, finally showed up with two Lu family guards and two maidservants -holding cloth bags- behind her.
Her heart shrivelled up but she schooled in her expression and lowered her head in greeting. "Head servant Cao."
Mama Cao caressed the hand warmer in her hands as she eyed Shi Meifen haughtily. Her mistress had been in a state of distress ever since the Fifth prince left the mansion so she'd been given the task of ensuring that the cursed child got the punishment he deserved.
