Mrs. Bai sat at the top, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table.
As soon as Jing Mo entered the room, this was the scene he saw. Somehow, he could vaguely sense the nervousness that Mrs. Bai was deliberately hiding.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Madam Bai instinctively looked up to see where it was coming from.
"Why is it you?"
Upon seeing that the person coming in was unexpectedly Jingmo, Madam Bai couldn't help but furrow her brows, revealing a fleeting expression of anxiety on her face.
"The young master sent me here, he said you were here and told me to come and tell you something."
Jing Mo didn't dare to look up and respectfully answered Mrs. Bai's question. But even without looking up, she could hear the irritation in Mrs. Bai's tone.
"Where is everyone?"
"I don't have time to deal with Jing Mo. The current Lady Bai only wants to meet White Tan."
"The young master is outside the door..."
"Then why doesn't he come in?"
    Mrs. Bai couldn't help but slam the table in frustration, but soon she realized something and immediately reacted.
    "Forget it, if he doesn't come in, then forget it. I have long known that he doesn't want to see me. It is ultimately my own imagination."

With a bitter laugh, seemingly mocking herself, Lady Bai sat silently for a long time before finally giving up on being immersed in her gloomy mood.
"What is it? Just say it here."
She still remembered why Jingmo came. Since she couldn't see Baitan's face, she had to let out her anger. She couldn't keep holding it in and ruin herself.
Leaving a person outside and making them stand all the time, not allowing them to sit even when they are tired, was the most severe punishment that Lady Bai could think of for Bai Tan.
Upon seeing Lady Bai speak, Jing Mo finally dared to explain in detail what had happened that morning.
At last, she hesitated for a moment and decided to voice her suspicions about Dong Dadong.
"Though it may seem meddlesome for a servant like me to ponder over these matters, I can't help but feel that Guoda is no fool. If he dares to snatch people so boldly, it suggests that he is not simply interested in abducting Baoshu, but more like using it as an opportunity to declare war against Madam."
Expressing my thoughts and analyzing in detail, Jingmo gradually explains.
"So, I think they must have some leverage in their hands to threaten you. Father Dong would be the most convenient person for them to control, as he has been your servant for many years and is the only person with a stain on him, which can be easily whitewashed."
After thinking for a while, she added, "If they want to take action, various rumors and secrets will quickly spread. By that time, even if you win and disregard the life of Lord Dong, your reputation among the common people will be tarnished."
Jingmo expressed his views in an orderly manner, but it had been a long time since he heard a response from Lady Bai. He couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly.
Lady Bai's eyes were slightly absent-minded, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Sighing silently in her heart, even though there was no way to read Lady Bai's thoughts, Jing Mo could easily guess that she was still thinking about Bai Tan.
However, waiting like this was unreasonable. After thinking for a moment, she slightly raised her voice.
"Madam, although I am just a foolish servant, I still have some opinions. It would be best to act directly now. If we can capture Gao Da, then we will be able to rescue Master Rendong smoothly."
What?
This sound finally awakened Lady Bai. She paused for a moment and instinctively questioned, then quickly realized and said in a deep voice, "Think it over again, restate your ideas, and let me see if there are any loopholes."
Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief when Madam Bai said this. It was the best way, as it didn't hurt her dignity but required her to repeat it again.
She recounted what happened in the morning and her thoughts and opinions once again. Jingmo stood below, awaiting Madam Bai's judgment.
"I don't think we should be too anxious about this matter. After all, the current Gundam doesn't know that we have already discovered his whereabouts. It might be better to postpone catching him for now. The most important thing right now is to confirm whether anyone is actually held captive by him, isn't it?"
Madam Bai is thinking more long-term.
"If we take action now without certainty and manage to capture everyone, even if only one person manages to escape, it will still be like alerting the enemy. Moreover, there is still another person in the Tianzhuang, Tu Zhuang. These past two days, he has firmly grasped control of the Tianzhuang in his hands."
Speaking of this, Lady Bai's temper, which had just slightly calmed down, couldn't help but churn again.
"I should never have let him take power, this guy, he has no brain at all."
Although it is inappropriate to say these words in front of Jingmo, Lady Bai became angrier the more she thought about it. Finally, she slammed the table and waved her hand, saying, "No, we must go and catch Gao Da now. With him in our hands, we can easily manipulate Tu Zhuang."
Jingmo didn't expect that Lady Bai's aversion to Tu Zhuang would far surpass her level-headedness, causing her to completely abandon the original plan.
She hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
"No, you were right just now. We should indeed take some time to consider it. A decision made in the heat of the moment may not be the most suitable one."
Madame Bai gasped for breath and took quite a while to regain her composure completely.
It seemed that Tu Zhuang had done something unscrupulous in a place unknown to her.
Jingmo thought to himself.
Fortunately, Lady Bai is someone who listens to advice, and after thinking for a while, she convinced herself.
"I'm being too impatient now. These past few days have been like this, I make a decision without thinking twice. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be completely at a disadvantage against these two people."
"Madam, don't worry, I believe this is just temporary. Once you recover, you will easily handle these two people."
Now that Madam Bai has regained her sanity, Jing Mo hurriedly comforts her. If he can persuade Madam Bai and return to the calm and wise Madam Bai she used to be, his own life would also become much easier.
"... never mind, let's postpone this matter for now. I'll have someone deliver a message, saying that Dong wants to meet her father, and see if we can get him to come over."
"Gundam and Tu Zhuang are completely different. Although Gundam is smart, we already know his hiding place. In a place with such a large crowd, and with the workshop being our territory, it will be more convenient to take action."
"As for Tu Zhuang, although he is foolish, he is not completely brainless. These past few days, I don't know who persuaded him, but he actually drove out most of the disobedient people in the village. Now the village is almost his dictatorship, no one dares to disobey his orders. It is harder to catch him now than catching Gao Da."
