"You mean, Jun Yunyan let you go because of Shengmuyuan?" City Lord Bai asked tentatively, still feeling a little worried.

"It's not him." Bai Suning said a more perfect wording, "It's his family."

Upon hearing this.

Lord Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his family is safe, he is afraid that Jun Yunyan will agree not to pursue the matter, and Jun Yunyan's family will come to seek revenge. Now it seems that Ningning is really safe.

But... what a pity.

"What about Fang Ye?" City Lord Bai was still somewhat worried about this. "Look at their expressions. They won't give up until they get the things. If they knew you had been to Yuxiao City and touched Shengmuyuan, would they give you trouble?"

"This isn't the first or second time they've tried to cause trouble for me." Bai Suning was used to this, but she still didn't want too many people to know about it. "Just don't tell anyone that I've seen Sheng Muyuan, and don't even mention those three words to anyone else."

Ordinary people don’t know anything about this.

Lord Bai agreed immediately.

Fang Ye outside the door was still trying to struggle.

Seeing that the guards would not move away, he just stood there and stared into the City Lord's Mansion.

When the housekeeper, who had just returned from outside, saw this scene, his brows were filled with confusion and puzzlement: "Miss Fang? Young Master Feng, why are you here?"

"Let's go find Miss Bai." Fang Ye placed his hope on the butler, hoping to get the answer from him.

The housekeeper immediately became wary.

Looking for the second young lady?

"Excuse me, has Miss Bai been to your city since she came back from the summit?" Fang Ye asked very kindly. There was nothing wrong with his tone, and it sounded very comfortable.

If it were someone else, they would probably confess honestly.

But who is this? The steward of Yuxiao City, who has watched Bai Suning grow up, how could he possibly betray his own second young lady? "I don't know."

"Probably?" Fang Ye was determined to get an answer.

"The Second Young Lady isn't a servant in our house, so she doesn't need my supervision." The housekeeper said this seriously, looking at them with a hint of disdain. "If you really want to know, go ask the Second Young Lady."

Just one simple sentence answered the question perfectly.

Fang Ye was extremely unhappy when he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Feng Muze completely lost his patience and said to her, "Why are you asking so many questions? Can't you just break in, capture Bai Suning, take her to Chixiao Tower and torture her severely? I don't believe she can withstand the punishment of Chixiao Tower."

"It's difficult to get things done with City Lord Bai here." Fang Ye did not deny his opinion this time.

As time went by, her mentality had changed.

He is no longer the person who used to do everything by the rules.

Bai Suning didn't know about this yet. She was talking to her father about other things when she saw the housekeeper walking towards her in a hurry, "Second Miss!"

"Second Miss, I've been looking for you for a long time."

"What do you want from me?" Bai Suning asked back.

"Miss Fang and Young Master Feng are looking for you at the door." The butler began by repeating the words.

"I know." Bai Suning said lightly, and then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, feeling a little nervous, "You didn't talk to them, did you?"

The housekeeper said stupidly: "I said... "

"What did you say?" Bai Suning was immediately confused.

If this person tells others that he has been to the outskirts of Yuxiao City, won’t he be doomed?

The housekeeper was uneasy at her look and spoke cautiously: "They just asked me if I knew if you had been to the city."

Bai Suning: "..."

Lord Bai: "..."

What you fear will come true.

"How did you answer?" When asking this question, Bai Suning was obviously holding her breath, and her head had already started thinking about how to deal with this matter later.

"I can't explain it to them clearly," the housekeeper replied honestly, without a trace of his usual serious demeanor. "He also said that the Second Young Lady isn't a servant in our house and doesn't need my supervision. He told them to ask you directly if they want to know anything."

"Huh!" Bai Suning breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart settled down.

Lord Bai also felt relieved.

"Well done." Bai Suning praised him and gave him a reward, "Next month's salary will be doubled."

housekeeper:"!!!!!!"

He was so excited that he lost his mind. He never expected that a casual remark could double his monthly salary.

"Thank you, Second Miss!"

"Next time if someone asks you, say the same thing." Bai Suning reminded.

"clear!"

After watching the butler leave, Bai Suning was completely relieved.

City Lord Bai, however, was a bit more worried. Thinking of Fang Ye and the others' pride, he couldn't help but ask, "Ningning, do you think they'll be desperate enough to arrest you and interrogate you?"

"It's not impossible." Bai Suning answered calmly.

Last time, both of them started to interrogate her. If further questioning yielded no results, they would have to arrest her and interrogate her.

Lord Bai was extremely worried.

If this person is really targeted by Chixiao Tower, then wouldn't he have to stay by this little girl's side all the time to protect her?

"What should we do then?" he asked, an idea that he had never liked popping up in his mind. "How about you go and take shelter with Nie Jing? They have many people in Senluo Palace, and any one of them can protect you. What do you think?"

Bai Suning had a string of question marks on her forehead: "Don't you have a problem with him?"

If she remembered correctly, these two people had been arguing. You don't like me and I don't like you.

City Lord Bai was unwilling to do so, but his daughter's safety was paramount. "Not dealing with them is one thing, but your safety is another. If you were to be targeted by the Scarlet Sky Tower, the consequences would be disastrous."

"No thanks." Bai Suning refused.

Lord Bai looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Why?"

"If Chixiaolou really has their sights on me and won't stop until they force me to reveal myself, they'll find a way to force me to reveal myself no matter where I go." Bai Suning was very rational, and her expression was nonchalant as she analyzed this. "Even if I go to Senluo Palace, they'll still threaten you and Yuxiao City."

"Yuxiao City is no match for Chixiao Tower."

Lord Bai: "..."

They are not from the same class, how can they be opponents?

"So what are you going to do? You can't really wait for them to come and trouble you and interrogate you."

"Well..." Bai Suning's mind raced, a thought already in her eyes. "I can only release a little bit of information when they are really anxious."

Bai Chengzhu looked fierce, not really understanding what she said: "What do you mean."

Bai Suning rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "Jun Yunyan."
