The horse carriage simply stopped there, the horse occasionally taking a few idle steps.
Madam Shen, sitting in the carriage, must have sensed something amiss and pushed aside the left curtain of the carriage.
As she got off, the maid beside her tried to assist her but was pushed away.
Given her years of experience, Madam Shen was well aware of what was happening.
Patriarch Shen Qingshan of the Shen Family had returned to reprimand her.
At this moment, if she didn't attempt to act pitiful, she might not know how severe the scolding would be later.
As she walked to the mansion's entrance, Madam Shen's steps were staggered.
She already appeared aged, but now she seemed genuinely pitiful.
In the past, Shen Qingshan would have softened and instructed the maids to quickly help her.
But today, Shen Qingshan just stood at the mansion's entrance, his expression revealing nothing, simply watching.
A maid wanted to assist but was halted by his sharp gaze after just one move.
