Rong Hua let out a sigh of relief, but quickly summoned two maids.
She directed them to help up Bai Xiu, who had collapsed on the ground, and, taking advantage of Bai Nian's absence, hurriedly sent Bai Xiu to the resting room.
Although it might not fully deceive Bai Nian, at the very least, it demonstrated an effort.
However, just as the maids were helping Bai Xiu up, Bai Nian entered the room.
"It seems I'm a step late and missed out on plenty of drama. My sister, I'm grateful for everyone's care."
Completely different from Bai Nian's usual seriousness and self-restraint, his voice carried coldness and mockery.
Without the maids' announcement, hardly anyone noticed when Bai Nian had come in.
Only when he spoke, did his voice travel from the doorway—not loud enough to deafen, but sufficient for everyone present to hear.
"Ah..."
Rong Hua exclaimed softly, her eyebrows instantly twisting together.
How could it be such a coincidence that Bai Nian arrived at this time?
