Before she had finished speaking, Madam Liu had already pushed the door open and rushed in, with the servant unable to stop her. Thinking that she was the Second Boss of Lady's Embroidery House, he assumed she must have urgent business with Lady and did not pursue.
Madam Liu staggered into the room, where Muniang had already lit a lamp because she heard Madam Liu's knocking. Madam Liu was always composed, so why such panic now? Muniang had an ominous feeling in her heart.
"Auntie, what's happened to you? Coming out in such heavy rain without even an umbrella, come inside quick."
Muniang hurriedly helped Madam Liu inside. She was so weak; she nearly fainted. But Madam Liu, disregarding everything, desperately grabbed Muniang's arm, her wet hands soaking Muniang's sleeves: "Muniang, something terrible has happened at the embroidery room! The screen I just finished today is ruined! What are we going to do? Oh, what are we going to do?"
