The front yard seemed lively, though it was unclear who the important guest at the main residence might be.
Although Baili Xia had never been a meddlesome person, she suddenly found herself paying unusual attention to matters of the Bei Family.
Before her brain could react, her legs, apparently acting on their own, carried her over.
Not far away, a little maid hurried over, emerging abruptly from a cluster of flowers and rushing straight in Baili Xia's direction.
Tao hadn't noticed anyone nearby, and the two of them froze in surprise, nearly colliding.
"Tao?" Baili Xia stopped in her tracks and quickly stepped aside.
Tao hastily pulled herself to a stop, narrowly avoiding the collision.
"Miss Xiaxia, why are you here?" Tao asked.
"I noticed some commotion over here and got curious, so I came to take a look," Baili Xia replied.
Only then did Tao remember why she had been rushing over in the first place.
