The three children finished tidying up and wanted to sit and chat with their aunt, but Bai Ju sent them away directly, "Off you go, go play outside."
He Huanhuan was unhappy. The aunt had appeared so formidable just earlier, and she had heard from Xiaocui about how Bai Xiao had defeated that fierce shrew. Her feelings toward this aunt had shifted from disdain and disgust to a sense of respect and admiration.
In the past, she always heard her mother say that her aunt was a kind and gentle child, that her aunt was a good person. But now, it seemed that her aunt's relationship with kindness and gentleness was negligible. Just look at the power with which the aunt slapped Bai Mei just then. That Bai Mei, went around acting entitled, eating as if she were a starving ghost in someone else's home.
The three kids would never act like that. They knew what constituted propriety, integrity, decency, and honor.
