Arriving at the Marquis Mansion, Lin Shuo took Yun Jiao to the backyard.
Madam Hou was currently crying in the room, while maids and servant women tried to comfort her.
But their consolation had no effect at all.
A servant entered and said, "Madam, the young master has arrived."
Madam Hou suddenly stopped crying, and stood up abruptly, "Didn't he leave home? When did he come back?"
Lin Shuo entered just in time to hear this sentence, unsure whether Madam Hou was clear-headed or confused.
Upon seeing Lin Shuo, Madam Hou unexpectedly ran over, hugged him, and burst into tears, "Ah Shuo, I was wrong, Ah Shuo, I shouldn't have treated you like that."
"Ah Shuo, will you forgive me?"
Lin Shuo felt a bitter ache in his heart; he knew she was suffering too, but what good would forgiveness do?
He gently patted Madam Hou's back, "Mother, I heard you haven't been eating well these past two days, so I've invited a doctor to check on you."
