Bai Zepei's actions were to show the emperor his position, indicating that he stands by his sister, believing in her character.
But the emperor's intentions are hard to predict. What if this incident displeases him and affects his second brother's career?
Bai Ruozhu wanted to stop him but saw the determination in her second brother's eyes and knew she couldn't persuade him.
In her second brother's eyes, career is not as important as family.
"Second brother, thank you." Bai Ruozhu said with reddened eyes.
Bai Zepei reached out his big hand to rub her head, chuckled softly, and said, "Why thank me? Second brother didn't help you much. It's better to rest early, just in time to pack up, so you can return home early."
Bai Ruozhu sniffled, nodded, and said, "Second brother, this journey will be tiring you and brother and sister-in-law."
"For our own family, isn't it the right thing?" Bai Zepei laughed.
