In the end, Bai Zi was acknowledged, a fact which caught many by surprise.
However, when they thought about the child in her belly, it all seemed quite normal.
Since the King Jing Residence had accepted this concubine, it wasn't appropriate for Bai Yanxi to make a fuss about it anymore. Out of respect for the King Jing Residence, he had Madam Bai prepare a gift of moderate value to be sent over.
This was considered as a sign of support from her natal family.
Bai Zi knew better than anyone what kind of man her father was. Seeing that she might become useful to him again, he started to show goodwill. However, at this critical moment, Bai Zi did not refuse.
Her target was Su Luo; she did not want any unnecessary complications.
When winter came around, people tended to become lazy. Old Madam and Princess Pingning would visit Su Luo every five days, spending the rest of their days nesting in the courtyard, eating and sleeping.
