Xiuchun complied and left, but soon hurried back, announcing, "Madam, Madam! Mrs. Li said the young master left the estate at dawn with Chang Huan, headed to Baihe Town!"
"What!" Mrs. Wang and Gu Fangzi were both taken aback. Gu Fangzi's face suddenly turned pale, her hands at her sides clenching tightly, filled with bitter jealousy and resentment.
"What is he trying to do! What is he trying to do!" Mrs. Wang burst into tears again, "He still resents me as his mother, rushing back only to leave like this without even saying goodbye! By tormenting himself like this, does he want to take my life too!"
Mrs. Jiang, Gu Fangzi, and others hastened to comfort her.
"Aunt, please don't be like this!" Gu Fangzi quickly said, "There are slaves with him, please rest assured! After the young master vents, he will feel better. He's not that irresponsible; you know him better! Aunt, you must take care of yourself!"
