Bai Mi, with her rather impatient nature, retorted upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, "Bai Zhi, don't be ungrateful! What kind of servant would learn skills from their master? Madam doesn't mind that we know nothing; she teaches us to read and write, and even teaches us a skill. What kind of servants are like us? We've only been here a short time, how many characters have you learned? Among the ten of us Bai, except for Bai Kou, look at everyone—aren't they all eagerly studying and learning to read, afraid of being left behind?"
Bai Zhi lowered her head and didn't speak. Bai Wei said, "Bai Zhi, someone must have said something to you. Good sister, it's not easy for us to be together like this. We were sold from our respective homes to Wang Ya Po's house, and then Lu Mama bought us back to the mansion from Wang Ya Po. This can be considered a fate we earned in our past lives."
Seeing that Bai Zhi seemed somewhat moved, Bai Wei continued, "I think we sisters should cherish the time we have together. I'm a little over a year older than you, and I just want to take good care of my younger sisters. When we grow up and are no longer together, when you think of me, you'll still remember how good I was to you. Tell me, what's going on?"
Bai Zhi lowered her head and said, "It's nothing." After saying that, she got up and went outside without raising her head.

Bai Mi frowned and said, "I think she has some mental issues. I need to talk to Madam about this and let her have a good talk with her. Don't be fooled by the fact that Bai Zhi is the weakest of the three of us; she's actually the most stubborn. Once she's made up her mind, she'll stick to it no matter what. It wasn't easy for us to get here together, and I really don't want to see anything happen to her."
Looking out the window at Bai Zhi, who had already left the courtyard, Bai Wei felt uneasy. Bai Zhi hadn't been with her for some time these past few days, and when asked what she had been doing, she always said nothing. It seemed that something must be going on.
Bai Wei was a decisive person. Once she had made up her mind, she decided to do it and immediately went to the front yard.
