Lady Li listened with even greater annoyance. Ever since Zhao Shi entered the family, she had been weeping and wearing a mournful face, quick to tears. She was like a harbinger of doom, irritating to the heart. In irritation, Lady Li shouted, "Shut up."
Zhao Shi quieted down, finally stopping her crying by the window and instead quietly letting the tears flow.
Zhulan noticed that Lady Li was satisfied. As long as she had some peace and quiet, that was all that mattered. She had no intention of going out to check on Zhao Shi. Their ways of thinking were on completely different wavelengths. To be precise, the whole family and she were not on the same wavelength.
