After a while, Su Bai finally patted the flour off her hands and turned around.
She opened her lips as if to speak, not caring whether it would work or not, but at least she had to try, since he was her only brother.
Before she could speak, Madam Su Bai said, "I heard what you two siblings said. If Hua'er returns safely tomorrow morning, you can take your brother back to the Qian family..."
Madam Qian's phoenix eyes lit up instantly, filled with surprise and joy. "Thank you, Mother. Thank you for not holding it against me."
