Although she might have a thick skin, she definitely hadn't reached such an extent, okay?!
This matter was really... the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She simply pushed Meng Yuhuai aside, took off the apron she was wearing, and dashed out the door, grabbing hold of Meng's mother and pleading in a torrent of words, "Mom, I need to go see Old Master Wang right away. The dishes in the kitchen can talk for themselves, I just need you to watch the fire. I'll be right back, okay?"
Without waiting for Meng's mother's consent, she bolted out the door as swiftly as thunder that doesn't leave time to cover one's ears.
She hurried along, first heading to Daoxiang Garden. After hearing from Wang Zhanrui that Wang Tonghe returned to Sauce Garden as soon as he received the invitation, she rushed to Zhenwei Garden, running so hard she was gasping for breath, her throat so dry it felt like it was on fire.
