Mrs. Du returned home with a heavy heart. Upon learning that her husband Chen Ji had already returned and was currently reading in the study, she quickly changed her clothes, washed her face, and reapplied her makeup before personally carrying the already stewed ginseng soup to the study.
Chen Ji's two attendants saw the Lady coming and hurriedly bowed to greet her. The attendant standing on the left said ingratiatingly, "Lady, you've arrived. The master was just asking about you!"
Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Du would have responded kindly, but at that moment she felt terrible inside. She nodded hastily at both men, pushed open the half-closed door, and walked straight in.
In the puzzled gaze of the two attendants, the door of the study closed tightly behind her.
"What's wrong with the Lady? Could the young miss have upset her again?" the left attendant asked his companion on the right curiously.
