She was so scared that her whole body quivered. Fortunately, Bai Zi held her, otherwise she would have fainted.
After reaching the room the Viscount Residence has prepared for her, Bai Lu, who came uninvited today in order to see Shen Cong, couldn't stay indoors and excused herself. The aunt desperately wanted to know what was written on the note in her hand and was glad to see her go.
Bai Zi didn't know about the note yet, she thought that her aunt's panic was purely due to seeing Liu Tong. After Bai Lu left, she comforted her: "Aunt must not panic. He is now a Supervisor at the Celestial Observatory with a promising future, he would definitely not want this matter to get exposed. The aunt can pretend as if nothing has happened! Even if you exchange just a remark or two, there's no harm in it. You were acquaintances before, running into him here is just a coincidence. No one will make a fuss about these things."
On this point, Yue Country was not rigorous.
