Upon hearing this, the old lady became agitated. With a shrill voice she shouted, "You have the audacity to search your own grandma's belongings? This is unheard of!" Having said this, she plunked herself on the bed and burst into tears.
While crying, she began to vent her grievances about the second room, appearing extraordinarily wronged, as though the people of the second room had deprived her of food and drink, and had been mistreating her.
Bai Ruozhu had been silent all this while. She had considered whether it was right to scheme against the old lady, but thinking back on the old lady's antics, she felt there was absolutely no room for leniency.
It was bearable when the old lady stayed indoors, but when she stepped outside, she was a magnet for trouble. If she were to stay here for a long period, the old master would surely visit. What on earth would they do if he decided to execute his grand rescue plan for his son?
