Zhu Qiaoyu went to her family's rented courtyard. Seeing her pale and tear-stained face, Madam Liu's heart ached as she led her into the house. "Qiaoyu, did your old woman scold you again?"
"Mother." Zhu Qiaoyu threw herself into Madam Liu's arms and cried her heart out.
Madam Liu hugged her daughter and patted her back sadly. She comforted her gently, "Sigh! Why don't you stay here for a few days and go back after Young Master finishes his exam?"
Zhu Qiaoyu looked up at Madam Liu and said sadly, "Mother, Guisheng's parents said that there's something wrong with my birth characters. They complained that I'm a jinx and that I'm going to end the Zhang family's lineage. They even said that they'll let Guisheng divorce me when he has passed his examinations. Mother, what should I do?"
