the old residence
Xuexue and Big Bull were splitting firewood in the courtyard when Madam Xie returned, fuming.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? You seem so angry." Seeing Madam Xie's somber face, Xuexue paused her wood splitting and asked in surprise.
"Madam," Big Bull also called out.
Madam Xie glanced at them but said nothing, striding angrily into the house.
"Wife, did Big Bull do something wrong? Why is Madam so angry?" Big Bull stood up, staring at Madam Xie's retreating figure and scratched the back of his head, completely perplexed.
Xuexue: "Mind your own business! She was like this the moment she entered."
No sooner had Madam Xie entered than Mo Yaner and her husband arrived with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan and Chuner.
"Just now, at Old Master Mo's funeral banquet, Mom heard some gossipy women say some unpleasant things and got a bit upset, but she'll be okay after a while."
