A silent hall.
Bai Mowan spoke her words clearly.
Even now, Xiao Jinxing chose silence to await.
She could not fathom his thoughts, nor know what he was thinking at this moment.
She even wondered if Xiao Jinxing might directly detain her, using her as leverage to force her brother to surrender the Commander's Seal.
Yet today she dared to be honest with Xiao Jinxing, firstly because Xiao Jinxing had indeed said that today there was no distinction between ruler and concubine; he would not fault her insolence, nor would he make any promises to her, they were merely conversing, and once the words were spoken, the matter was over, and neither was accountable.
Secondly.
She had already instructed her brother that if Xiao Jinxing truly disregarded past sentiments and was despicable enough to use her as a hostage, she would not allow her brother to trade the Commander's Seal for her. She would rather die at Xiao Jinxing's hand than let the Bai Family be implicated because of her.
