Bai Yi advised, "Girl, in the future, you must not bring this up in front of the Eldest Master." The Eldest Master loathed Maternal Aunt Liu and Second Master, but he still held great respect for the Old Master.
Mingzhu was still puzzled by Niu Yangchao's death. She hadn't even planned to deal with Niu Yangchao when an accident occurred: "Bai Yi, don't you think that Niu Yangchao picked too good a time? I hadn't even made a move, and he's already dead." It would have been fine if Niu Yangchao's death was too easy since they had no personal grudges, but Maternal Aunt Liu's death left Mingzhu feeling stifled with anger. She hadn't had the chance to gain the upper hand, and Maternal Aunt Liu was gone; it was truly infuriating.
