As the Bai Family mother and daughter were talking, a woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six stormed in.
Seeing the woman arrive, Bai Jingran bowed respectfully. "Aunt Shi, didn't you go to the palace to become the Princess's tutor?"
Shi Shuangshuang said furiously, "Tutor the Princess? That Zhong Shanggong wanted me to teach Mu Wan Yun how to read! To be a tutor for a criminal servant of the Mu Family!"
"I hold the title of the most talented woman in the land! Making me teach a palace maid is a terrible disgrace! I was so furious I left the palace immediately!"
Bai Jingran said anxiously, "Mother, this is terrible! At this rate, she's really going to become the Empress!"
Mrs. Bai said, "With Mu Wan Yun's background, she isn't even qualified to enter the palace as a concubine. Yet, His Majesty has Zhong Shanggong teach her, so he must be planning a high rank for her. To silence the gossips, he might even arrange a new family background for her."
