Due to having the same dream every night, where her mother screams in pain, revealing a face like a skull, she wakes up drenched in cold sweat each time. These past few days, she has visibly grown more haggard.
Since that incident last time, she hasn't been to the Old Madam's place. It's not that she doesn't want to go, but the Old Madam specifically sent someone to say that she's feeling unwell and it's not appropriate to disturb her, so there's no need to pay respects. Situtu Qinger understands; the Old Madam is angry with her.
Old Lady Zhang, who had served her for decades, was carried out of the General's Mansion to recover after being beaten. Judging by her injuries, she won't recover in several months.
