The banquet hall in the front courtyard was ablaze with lights, filled with wine and laughter, music and dancing.
It was said that a very important guest would be arriving tonight. Normally, the girls were especially excited about things like this.
But Baili Xia didn't feel any excitement at all.
Because tonight, she had something extremely important to do. As for who would show up at the banquet, she couldn't care less.
As night fell, Bei Tianyou instructed the servants to prepare a simple dinner for them.
Although the banquet would certainly be filled with gourmet food, for these wealthy ladies, such events were meant for showcasing their charms.
Eating wasn't entirely out of the question, but it definitely hurt their image.
There were still some girls who lingered around the food section, but generally, they'd only eat a bite or two to save face.
Baili Xia didn't care about these things; she could eat freely at the banquet.
