After the forty-ninth day following the death of the Lady of Marquis Jingning had passed, Mingzhu proposed taking Bai Yi, Zhi Qin, and a few other maids to Zhaohua Temple.
Luo Shao looked at the wilted Mingzhu with heartache. Since he had been separated from Lady Bai at a young age, the time mother and son spent together was very limited, so their affection was not deep. Of course, this wasn't to say that Luo Shao was unfilial, on the contrary, he was very dutiful. He would agree to all of Lady Bai's requests as long as they did not cross the line. Over the years, he had been cleaning up the messes that Lady Bai had caused. However, those troublesome matters accumulated, thinning the already weak bond between them further. With Lady Bai's passing, Luo Shao felt somewhat relieved at the bottom of his heart, knowing he would not have to clean up any more messes in the future.
