The distance between Bai Zihan's courtyard and the Punishment Hall was quite far, and even with their carriages, it took a while for the group to arrive.
On the way, no one spoke. Each person was lost in their own thoughts.
Finally, they disembarked when they reached Bai Zihan's courtyard.
Lin Xuan immediately slipped into servant mode and began preparing tea for the guests.
In Bai Zihan's small room, the Grand Elder, Bai Zihan, Bai Xueqing, and Chu Ziyan sat together, waiting for the right moment to speak.
"Ahem! Zihan'er, you did well handling this matter. I'll speak to your father and arrange a suitable reward for you," Bai Ren said.
He didn't want to start the conversation with something unpleasant and decided to lead with praise.
"Grand Elder, there's no need to be polite. Ask what you need to and clear your worries," Bai Zihan replied.
Grand Elder Bai Ren had helped him greatly, and Bai Zihan appreciated it. But this was as far as his courtesy went.
