Night had already fallen by the time Lin Hua returned to report, bringing with him the news that the Old Madam and the others had returned to the mansion.
Supported by Gu Kaiyuan, Bai Suihe arrived at the main courtyard. Upon seeing the bruised and battered old couple, Bai Suihe hastily lowered her head, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.
The news Lin Hua brought back made the couple feel that this was exactly what should have happened, yet it still felt somewhat unbelievable.
Despite being the Old Madam for so many years, Xu Huizhen hadn't mellowed her disposition in the slightest; on the contrary, her fighting prowess was quite formidable. Word had it that she had fiercely beaten the mistress twice. The first time was the moment they met—she beat the woman until she couldn't get up from the floor.
The second time was when Gu Baijiang received the news, rushed over in a hurry, and said a single word: "Shrew."
