Qihao Hall.
The Third Madam was anxious and restless, unable to sit still.
Her daughter had taken someone to Agarwood Pavilion, and she was worried.
Just as she was about to get up and take a look, Xie Jinxiu ran in.
She threw herself directly into the Third Madam's arms, startling her.
"What happened?" the Third Madam asked urgently.
"Mother, I almost couldn't make it back!" Xie Jinxiu cried pitifully.
The Old Madam glanced over.
She saw the mud-covered socks on Xie Jinxiu's feet.
Anger surged to the Old Madam's temples.
A well-bred young lady should maintain proper composure, and even when walking, should not expose her embroidered shoes.
Now, she had lost her shoes!
The Third Madam had never seen her daughter in such a miserable state; her heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a hand, causing her to gasp for breath due to the pain.
While she wiped Xie Jinxiu's tears with a handkerchief, she cursed Su Jin and complained to the Old Madam.
