Fine!
She and Hongyu were determined to get rid of the Bai family, so there was no need to argue with Bai Yehua. Faced with Bai Yehua's arrogance, she couldn't help but mock him, "There are no shortage of handsome men in the capital. Young Master Bai is far too arrogant."
"Xiaoyu is too petty; she can't even tolerate a maid."
Having said that, he leaped onto his horse and, as he spurred it away, shouted a warning, "If Hongyu doesn't go back, Mother will report her to the authorities."
"I'm so angry!"
Chen Yu angrily slammed her hand on the wooden ox's armrest, and Cui Zhu pushed her into the courtyard.

Was it a death pact? Hongyu was heartbroken. As tears streamed down her face, she collapsed weakly against the water vat and fell to the ground.
The fisherman was indeed her adoptive father; in order to earn more money, he made her a slave for life!
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
A group of constables rushed into the courtyard, first bowing to Master Mu, then explaining their purpose: "Master Mu, Madam Bai has reported to the authorities that her personal maid has been abducted by Miss Mu. She demands that Miss Mu personally return the maid to the Bai residence, otherwise she will seek an audience at the county office..."
