The evening banquet doesn't start until eight, and it's still early.
Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao each went back to their rooms to change into suits.
Baili Xia's bridesmaid dress was ruined and couldn't be worn again, so she had to find another suitable outfit.
Rummaging through the closet, the only thing suitable for the occasion was a purple evening dress.
This was also her only evening gown, not too flashy to overshadow the host.
But the story behind the dress caused Baili Xia to feel a slight unease in her heart.
Last time, in this dress, she attended the Eight Big Families' banquet and was drugged.
Half-conscious, she ended up back with her uncle.
Time flew by, and months had passed, seeming like a lifetime ago.
If she could, she wouldn't want to think about that night.
Yet, Baili Xia searched through her entire closet and found nothing more suitable.
She had no choice but to take out the purple evening dress and put it on again.
