How Inauspicious!

Just as the two of them were teasing each other, Li Gui rushed in from outside with her basket. She did not even stop to pick up the vegetables which had fallen out of the basket. She just went straight to the water bottle on the table and drank two big glasses of water.

"Drink slowly! Why are you in such a hurry? Did you get chased by a dog? Where were you?" Qiao Mei asked Li Gui curiously.

Today was really a weird day. First, Xia He returned dejectedly, and now, Li Gui was all panicky. Could it be that today was a special day? It seemed that everyone's luck was not very good.

"I… I passed by Old Madam Fan's house on my way back from buying groceries. I heard them chatting at the door, saying that Su Yang had beaten up Zhou Shuang and Sun Juan and caused them to be sent to the hospital. These two names sound familiar and I thought they might be people who worked for you. I was so frightened that I ran all the way back," Li Gui said agitatedly.
