When Gu Ruo entered, she saw Mrs. Fang pushing and shoving He Jing, spewing angry curses from her mouth.
Then He Jing suddenly stood up and shoved her away forcefully.
Caught off guard, Mrs. Fang stumbled backward several steps, fell to the ground, and her head struck the nearby cabinet with a thudding sound.
It sounded painful, and indeed Mrs. Fang didn't recover her senses for a while, sitting on the ground and touching her head with a pale face.
"Auntie..." Gu Ruo got a fright too and hurriedly put down her cup of tea to squat beside her, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Mrs. Fang took her hand away, and her palm was soaked with fresh blood.
"Blood...blood..." Her face turned pale, and upon seeing the blood, whether from fright or the impact, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
——
The commotion awoke Fang Linbo and Fang Ruo.
Mrs. Fang had been taken to the bedroom to rest, and the family doctor was examining her.
