Bai Mei turned around and saw Bai Lu slowly walking and beside her was the one just spoken - Ruan Di.
In front of the door, Bai Mei's eyes widened immediately, "You--" Why aren't you in the room?
She almost asked the question, but fortunately she reacted in time, biting the tip of her tongue and swallowing it back.
Ruan Di dug her nail into her skin, as expected, the one framed Bai Lu in the previous life was this little bitch!
If she didn't made her pay for making her best friend suicide in the previous life, then Ruan Di's rebirth was in vain!
"Why is everyone gathered here?" Ruan Di moved the corner of her skirt slightly, stopped when she reached the outside of the crowd, turned her head and looked at the people with different expressions in front of her, and said with a smile, "I have some emergency just now and take Bai Lu with me. What happened here?"
Bai Mei gritted her teeth. She put on a surprised smile, lifted up her skirt and quickly ran through the crowd to Bai Lu, which Ruan Di intentionally blocked with her body.
"Sister Lu, you scared me to death. "I thought something happened to you again..."
"Again?" Bai Lu also dug her nails into her skin. She had piece the things together, she knew how dire her situation was, "What else has happened to me?"
"You know you fell into the water a few days ago, I'm worried about you."
"Oh? At that time you stepped into my skirt?" Bai Lu's tone was light, but there was some edge to it and it made the listener wonder. "Don't worry, Mother already invited the Imperial Doctor over."
The development of the plan was beyond her expectation, and Bai Lu's sudden prickly response caught her off guard.
Anyone with a brain could understand what happened just now - Bai Mei made a big fuss, saying that Bai Lu was missing, and then went to great lengths to lure everyone to this remote place, and then she also insisted that the person in the wing was Bai Lu, and wanted to break in and "rescue" her.
To be honest, if you are really concerned about your sister being scorned, you should insist that the woman in the room was someone else, find a way to disperse everyone, and then go to save people. Looking at Bai Mei's behavior, it seemed like she was dying to save her.
The scene in the room was exposed for all to see.
Coupled with the information from the conversation just now.. Who couldn't understand what Bai Mei was thinking?
"If Eldest Lady Bai is here, then who..?" Someone voiced the more important point.
The somewhat relaxed atmosphere due to Bai Lu's sudden arrival suddenly became awkward again.
"I just don't know who the person in the room is if it's not Sister Lu..." Bai Mei said intentionally or unintentionally, "Everyone should be here. Is there anyone missing?"
"I think some ladies in the garden have already invited the Duchess over." Gao Heng finally spoke, "As guests and outsiders, we should avoid these things."
The two of them said that they were already walking out side by side. Everyone behind you looked at me, I looked at you, and they all followed each other - what's so good about a live erotic palace, Fan Ziqi said so, no matter how curious people were, they were too embarrassed to rush up and open the door.
Just when this matter was about to come to an end, another charming moan came from the side room, "...Princely Heir, Weiwei really can't stand it anymore..."
Bai Mei's face almost turned dark on the spot. The first time she heard the woman's voice, she just felt it was familiar and didn't think much about it.
Bai Lu's eyes widened, looking at the equally shocked Ruan Di.
Ruan Di did this to save her best friend, who would've thought the mess was still here.
Just when everyone was hurriedly retreating to avoid suspicion, Ruan Xuan finally arrived with the Duchess.
The Duchess bumped into this large group of boys and girls, and couldn't help but frown.
A nun immediately stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. The more the Duchess listened, her expression became darker, and her eyes swept over Bai Mei's body.
Under that penetrating gaze, Bai Mei suddenly felt as if she was stripped bare, as if all the ghosts and shady thoughts were being seen through by the Duchess at a glance. That feeling made her shiver a little, and she felt guilty. She lowered his head, not daring to show her expression.
Ruan Tian looked around anxiously for a long time, and finally saw Ruan Di breathed a sigh of relief and went forward, "Eldest Sister, we're very worried about you."
Ruan Di smiled at them, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Ruan Di patted the back of Bai Lu's hand comfortingly and said softly, "We can't stay here any longer. Let's go back to the garden."
Bai Lu glanced at the yard suspiciously, but still nodded trustingly. "Okay."
After listening to the report from the nanny beside her, the Duchess also said, "There are no flowers to enjoy here." She raised her hand and called to the servants, "Take all the gentlemen and girls back to the garden. "
She turned to Ruan Di, with a faint smile on her dignified face, and her words without a word of command were so majestic that it was irresistible.
"Miss Ruan, Miss Bai, please stay for a while."
"Madam..." Ruan Xuan was surprised and wanted to stop her.
Ruan Di responded first, "Yes." After she finished speaking, she squeezed the sisters' palm with her backhand, "You two go back first, don't worry about me."
Even though Ruan Di said this, Ruan Xuan and Ruan Tian were still worried and turned back three times. They finally left with everyone at Ruan Di's urging.
Jin Hyun held his chuckle, "My mother won't be your eldest sister, Second Lady Ruan. Don't worry too much."
"Ah, yes, thank you."
.
.
.
There were only dozens of Princely Heirs in the nation, but only a handful were in the capital city and were in the right age to be at the event.
Ruan Di was still thinking on how to lure Bai Lu away when her period came, so she went along the stream of fate and saved Bai Lu from the devil's plan.
Bai Lu was out of danger, but who knows the dirty water still on her. Not only her second sister was the one who designed the trap, but it was her third sister who was trapped. To top it off, the man she was with was the rumored fiance of Bai Lu.
Bai Mei wasn't personally named by the Duchess, but her presence was indispensable in this incident.
"Put clothes on them first." The Duchess said outside the door.
When she saw the scene in front of her, her expression was still very calm, as if this kind of sloppiness was nothing at all in the mansion where she was the master.
Two maids entered the room while the Duchess's attendant gestured to Ruan Di, Bai Lu, and Bai Mei to move to another room.
Following the instructions of the Duke's wife, the two women stepped forward to block Bai Wei, and forced her to change into a pair of clean and simple clothes, covering up all the ambiguous marks on her body.
Ruan Di underestimated the scale of this mishap. Inside the room were Duke Jin and Assistant Minister Bai. The Duchess was ready for the kill.
"I believed my attendant had reported what happened. Assistant Minister Bai , please bear with me before bringing your daughters home."
Assistant Minister Bai's face was pale, the calm composure almost collapsed, and he seemed to have aged ten years more.
"Eldest Miss Ruan, can you tell me why and where are you going with the Eldest Miss Bai? I heard Third Miss Bai was looking for her sister and that's the reason for this commotion?"
Ruan Di saluted, "To answer the Duchess. I have a female emergency and we found a maid to bring us somewhere quiet. I also bought a sanitary napkin from the maid. We don't bring money so I exchange my jade bracelet with it."
The Duchess's attendant came forward and unfold the handkerchief with a jade bracelet inside it.
"Is this the jade bracelet you're talking about?"
Ruan Di immediately knew it wasn't hers, "No, it's not Duchess. My jade bracelet is not a pure white, it's a milk white. It is faintly similar, but the color consistency is a bit different. My bracelet also had a slight crack because I dropped it a few times."
The attendant took out another handkerchief.
"How about this one?"
This time Ruan Di came forward, checked every inch of the bracelet and finally nodded: "Yes, this is my bracelet, Duchess."
"The previous bracelet was found with the maid that put intoxicating incense in the room, while the second one was indeed with the maid that sold sanitary napkins to Miss Ruan," The Duchess explained, not to anyone in particular. "Eldest Miss Ruan saved Eldest Miss Bai from a deliberate frame, it's also good luck."
Bai Lu and Ruan Di shared a grateful look.
"The next one was the Assistant Minister Bai's housework. We will hand our maid that receives the bribe and deliberately led the young master and your daughter to the room. She's sedated and already in the carriage. We will follow you to the Bai house."
Assistant Minister Bai stood up, looking like his soul had left his body.
