Bai Zi was confronted by Su Luo in front of so many people, her face alternated between shades of red and green from embarrassment.
At this moment, the sharpness in Su Luo's manner made Bai Zi dare not face her straight.
However, in such a situation, it was vital to not back down, a moment of weakness would be the equivalent of admitting everything Su Luo had said was true.
Bai Zi was good at acting, her eyes quickly filling with tears: "Sister Su, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I'm actually also worried about Sister Zhu!"
Su Luo had no patience for Bai Zi's theatrics while Zhu Jiao's condition was hardly favorable. She needed to conclude matters quickly. Holding onto Zhu Jiao, she started: "Let me explain what happened."
"This morning, Ajiao and I arrived together by carriage. Ajiao's maid, Xiaosui, had a stomachache, so she put Ajiao's stuff into my maid Qing Yi's hands to carry. Qing Yi handed our stuff to the person in charge of receiving us."
