Shi Qian had previously been harshly admonished by Bo Jingyan, and thus did not dare to seek him out.
The only person she could turn to was Bo's mother.
When she arrived in Bo's mother's room, the older woman had just recently awakened and was applying her makeup in front of a mirror.
Suppressing her anxiety, she courteously greeted Bo's mother, "Good morning, Mother Bo…"
Mother Bo's face was still somewhat pale, her countenance carried an air of weariness, yet she forced a smile onto her face, responding, "Hmm, what's with you getting up so early, Couldn't you have slept a bit longer?"
With her own issues weighing on her mind, Shi Qian completely missed the pallor of the older woman's complexion.
Having no patience to indulge Mother Bo in irrelevant conversation, she quickly got to the point, "Mother Bo, I heard you weren't feeling well last night. When I came to see you, I saw Brother Jingyan."
At the mention of last night's events, Mother Bo's expression turned gloomy.
