Mrs. Li returned home and went directly to the upper room.
Mrs. Shen Zhuang had been sitting anxiously on the kang bed for most of the day. She wondered if Xu Wenhui really hanged herself because of her scolding. She hoped desperately that Wenhui wasn't dead, and if she was, she begged her not to haunt her.
Although she had scolded Wenhui, others had scolded her even more! It wasn't really her fault!
As soon as Shen Zhuang saw Mrs. Li returning, she straightened up eagerly, "Did the girl... cough, cough, did she survive?"
"She's absolutely fine! And she's actually better off than before!" Mrs. Li waved off with a loud voice.
Shen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "I knew that ill-luck would not dare kill her! Such a calamity surely lasts for a thousand years!"
She'd spent half the day worrying for nothing!
"What do you mean by being better off?" Master Shen asked after hearing about it.
