Bai Yueru listened to Aunt Jie's words and immediately realized there was more to them. Saying she'd be unaccustomed without me by her side was actually telling her that if I got into trouble, I might reveal everything...
She remembered that Aunt Jie once told her that if she was ever suspected, she mustn't give in and should stubbornly insist that it had nothing to do with her associates!
After hesitating repeatedly, Bai Yueru decided to protect Aunt Jie at all costs and said, "Son, Xiao Shu, I think you must be mistaken. Aunt Jie was indeed with me the whole night. Where would she find the time to go out and commit any misdeeds? Besides, I absolutely trust Aunt Jie's character. If you have evidence, show it to me!"
Once Bai Yueru said this, everyone was stunned. Ye Shu hadn't expected this really involved Bai Yueru; otherwise, she wouldn't take such a risk to protect her servant.
