"Yes!" Zhenguang bowed and hurried out of Qinghui Courtyard.
Bai Qingyan knew the most crucial part of this matter was to grasp the timing. Too fast or too slow would both be wrong. This task could be said to be both simple and difficult, depending on the competence of the people executing it.
When Bai Jinxiu left, she left Cuibi and Cuiyu behind. Bai Qingyan instructed Cuibi, "Cuibi, go and instruct a squad of guards to wait around Qinghui Courtyard."
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Cuibi responded and walked out of the main room of Qinghui Courtyard, her palms damp with sweat. It was her first time handling an errand for the Eldest Young Lady, and she desperately didn't want to make any mistakes.
Bai Qingyan looked at the eager maid Zhenming and said, "Zhenming, go arrange for a few quick-handed gatekeepers to guard the main path leading to Qinghui Courtyard. Once Second Young Lady and her group arrive, report back immediately!"
