Because she was mindful that Baili Mu was here, Mother Jing forcibly swallowed down the impulse to grab a broom, rush out, and beat Mr. Jing away.
No matter what, family shame shouldn't be aired in public. She still wanted her daughter to look a little better in front of the Prince.
Watching the backs of mother and daughter as they tried so hard to hold themselves together, Baili Mu saw everything with complete clarity, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything.

He couldn't just interfere. Once he stepped in, it would only make Jing Sitian feel even more embarrassed.
Mother Jing forced herself to smile and tugged on Jing Sitian's sleeve. "Sitian, don't pay attention to that person. Let's go eat."
