Mrs. Gu Sr. held her hand, finally feeling relieved seeing that she was alright and still in good spirits.
As the two walked towards the mansion, Mrs. Gu Sr. spoke, "With such a big incident happening, how could I not worry? I thought your sister-in-law wouldn't leave you behind, so I came to the mansion to wait and see. It's only just now that I arrived, and you've just returned."
"Li Si has already told me. Since Dalang has explanations for things on his side, you must also set your mind at ease. At this time, us women of the inner residence cannot be the first to panic. If something happens to us, there will be no one left to help them."
While Mrs. Gu Sr. rambled, Lin Youning felt that the words held much truth, and it caused her some hesitation. After all, she was the only person Sister-in-law could rely on right now. If anything should happen to her, Sister-in-law would have even less hope, and what about Brother then?
