Daohua returned to Taohua Temple and found the courtyard to be serene, with the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen. She went over to take a look and saw her grandmother preparing soup.
Lady Yan hurriedly waved Daohua over when she saw her, "You're back just in time. Quickly, take this rock sugar, honey, and snow pear soup to Granny Gu."
Daohua was startled, "Is Granny Gu coughing again?"
Lady Yan stretched her neck to look towards the main house and whispered, "Just now, your master said something to Granny Gu, and from what I could tell, it seemed like he upset her."
"I'll go have a look." Daohua quickly ladled a bowl of the snow pear soup and then turned to head for Granny Gu's room.
"Take it easy, don't burn your hands," Lady Yan called out loudly.
Inside the room, Granny Gu's emotions had stabilized, and she had closed her eyes to sleep by the time Daohua entered.
Gu Jian made a gesture for silence, then gestured for Daohua to follow him outside.
