Yun Haisheng had never expected Bai Lingling to come for this.
He had originally assumed the trouble at the seashell betting shop happened because of Yun Wanrou and Yan Hai. He thought she had come here to quarrel over beasts, over face, over the public shame of that day, or perhaps to act stubborn a little longer before bowing her head.
Who would have thought that while everyone else was busy with pride and appearance, Bai Lingling had been eyeing the pearl grounds the whole time?
At the side, Uncle Shen finally could not hold it in anymore. His old face had already gone cold, and now he stepped forward and said bluntly, "City Overseer Yun, our Young Miss is the Heavenly Phoenix bearer personally appointed by His Majesty. By rights, the pearl grounds of Yunhe City should already fall under her authority. Since she has spoken so clearly, there is no need to play dumb."
The servants in the pavilion all lowered their heads further.
