Chapter 11

In the bathing room.

Su Mo and Sang Li were lying in the bathtub, leisurely soaking in the bath. CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

"Ah..." Su Mo let out a long sigh, happily pouring water on her arms, "So comfortable..."

Sang Li sat quietly in the bathtub, seemingly still lost in thought.

"Mo Mo, I have an idea, but I'm not too sure about it," Sang Li suddenly said.

"What idea?" Su Mo looked at the flower petals in her hand and murmured to herself, "So people in ancient times liked to bathe with flower petals."

"Mo Mo, stop playing around," Sang Li patted her hand, "It's something important."

Seeing her so serious, Su Mo finally sobered up, "Sister Li, what's the matter? I see you've been distracted."

Sang Li looked around and moved closer to whisper in her ear, "I suspect...Xiao Han and Miao Miao are at the Bai family."

"What?" Su Mo turned to look at her in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Just a guess, but I'm not too sure. The Bai family should have seen people dressed like us before, so I find it very strange that they didn't mention anything at all. I also didn't dare to ask rashly," Sang Li said.

"Why don't we just ask Bai Yunhan? I feel like he's quite nice!"

Sang Li hesitated, "I'll try to probe him when there's an opportunity."

After bathing, they saw two dresses placed on a nearby stand, one red and one white.

"Sister Li, you should wear the white one, it suits you very well," Su Mo said.

"Okay."

The two put on the dresses and glanced at each other, breaking into smiles at the same time.

Su Mo looked Sang Li up and down and said, "Sister Li, you look too good in ancient costume! With your long straight black hair, add a hairstyle, and you'll be... the number one aloof beauty in Jianghu! Hahaha..."

Sang Li walked over to her and lifted Su Mo's chin with a half-smile, her voice charming and seductive, "Little hot chili, surrender to your sister?"

"Ah! I'm bent!" Su Mo acted out collapsing onto Sang Li's shoulder, "Sister, you're killing me!"

Bai Yunhan paused. What Sang Li said was almost exactly the same as what Wang Fu had asked before.

But there was one difference. Sang Li said China Town, while the other two said Jiuzhou City.

"Miss Sang, my family has something going on recently and I'll probably be very busy. Let me get someone to help you find your friends after I settle my matters," Bai Yunhan said after some thought.

Sang Li paused, "Alright, thank you, Young Master Bai."

After Bai Yunhan left, Su Mo immediately ran over to grab Sang Li's arm and whispered, "Sister Li, what does he mean? Has he not seen Xiao Han and Miao Miao before?"

"I wonder what's happening in the Bai family..."

"Old Master Bai died," Wu Ying's voice suddenly rang out.

The two looked at Wu Ying in surprise, "Old Master Bai? Bai Yunhan's grandfather?"

"No, his father. He was killed," Wu Ying's tone was completely flat, as if death was a common occurrence to him.

Sang Li's expression became grave.

That afternoon, the news of Old Master Bai's death spread throughout Lan City.

The Bai family and the Li family were the wealthiest households in Lan City. Old Master Bai's sudden death undoubtedly caused a sensation.

Everyone was discussing about which person would eventually take over the Bai family's businesses.

Rumor has it that Bai family's eldest young master only knew how to read and had no business acumen. The Bai family would definitely be thrown into turmoil.

That evening, Old Master Bai's funeral hall was set up and the entire Bai family was in grief.

Out of courtesy, Su Mo and Sang Li originally wanted to go to the funeral hall to offer incense for Old Master Bai, but were stopped by the people arranged by Wang Fu outside their guest room.

"The two young ladies need not go over. This is the Bai family's private affair. After the young master settles his matters, he will naturally come to find you."

Sang Li frowned. Were they under soft detention?

"What, we can't even leave the room?" Su Mo asked.

"The Bai family is holding funeral arrangements. Do the two young ladies still wish to go out and wander about?"

"......"
