After chatting for a while more, Bai Zemin left Shangguan Bing Xue's house.... Alone.
Meng Qi seemed to want to chat a bit more with Shangguan Bing Xue so instead of leaving together with Bai Zemin she asked the mistress of the house if she didn't mind if she stayed another while, to which Shangguan Bing Xue shook her head as she also wanted to at least try to get along with Bai Zemin's family and so far the sweet but smart Meng Qi had liked her.
After leaving Shangguan Bing Xue's house, Bai Zemin's destination was Zhong De's house. There he met the young man who spoke only as much as necessary and rarely smiled acting like a little servant taking care of his mother.
