Chapter 32: Paying a Visit_1

Qin Shangzhi once told Miss Bai that if she wanted to protect the Duke of Zhen's household, she should retreat. But judging by Miss Bai's behavior these past two days, she seemed to have lost her mind over the injury of the second Miss Bai, adopting a stance of preferring to die with honor rather than live in disgrace. This put the entire Duke's household in a precarious position.

Qin Shangzhi wanted to remind her that being too full of oneself would lead to loss, and overflowing water would spill. But seeing Bai Qingyan's clear eyes, he feared she had other plans. So he said no more, hoping that this Miss Bai could truly protect her family's loyalty.
