Her son had made his wife angry, so she had come to appease her daughter-in-law and get her to forgive him.
Bai Su was a little exasperated. "Auntie..."
But after a moment's thought, she accepted the key.
'She's giving it to me today, so I'll just keep it safe. Later, when her family shows up, I can simply return it.'
'What if Hua Hua has another episode tomorrow and gives it to a different servant, or even loses it?'
'Then I'd be in a position where I couldn't explain anything clearly.'
When Hua Hua saw her accept the key, her smile finally seemed genuine. "Good, you've taken it. Now don't be angry with my boy."
Bai Su laughed helplessly. "All right, all right. I'm not angry."
'I have no idea who this "boy" is, but humoring her for now is the right move.'
Hua Hua then lovingly stroked her head. "Sit down. I'll braid your hair for you."
Bai Su was happy to oblige and sat down.
For the past few days, it had been Hua Hua who'd been doing her hair.
