Bai Jiaojiao was so scared that her lips turned pale. Trembling, she said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Are you trying to get me killed?"
Bai Jiaojiao's sister-in-law said, "It's not me trying to kill you; it's you trying to kill yourself! Why are you messing with Minister Yao's daughter instead of living a good life? Can we ordinary folks afford to provoke someone like Minister Yao?"
She turned to Father Bai and Mother Bai: "Dad, Mom, you saw how Yun Jianshen went crazy just now. Forget about Minister Yao, even if Yun Jianshen seeks revenge on us, in our family's current situation, we can't bear it. You don't want to face ruin and destruction, do you?"
Father Bai and Mother Bai were convinced.
To them, being able to live in peace and preserve their wealth and status was far more important than protecting their daughter.
