Back at Xiang Mansion, Xiang Wan found that Zuo Xingyun had not yet returned, and couldn't help but complain, "He himself hasn't come back, so why did he rush me to return?"
Zhang Ma came forward to help her take off her coat, "The Second Master is too busy to care for you, he's probably worried about your safety if you don't come home at night. By the way, how's Shi Nian'an? Nothing serious, I hope?"
Xiang Wan paused for a moment, "It's not serious, but she looks miserable, beaten until she's unrecognizable. Her own mother might have to stare for a while before recognizing her."
Her description was not an exaggeration, as Nian'an's face was covered in bruises; indeed, a piteous sight to behold.
Zhang Ma sighed incessantly, "When misfortune strikes, you can choke even when drinking a cup of cold water."
Xiang Wan returned to her room and, thinking it was still early and that she wouldn't be able to sleep yet, changed into her yoga attire to exercise for a while.
