How could Mrs. Liu Sr. not be upset? She just went out for some convenience, and the little maid from the mansion kept leading her around without letting her return. The purpose was nothing but to bully Sister Ning, knowing there was no one to stand up for her. Thinking of Sister Ning being wronged in the front while she couldn't go back, how could Mrs. Liu Sr. not be anxious?
At that time, Mrs. Liu Sr. stopped letting the maid lead the way and found her way back herself. The maid tried to block her path, and in anger, Mrs. Liu Sr. had her own maid give the obstructionist maid two slaps, which drew the attention of the guards around. Only then did they understand what was happening, and Mrs. Liu Sr. returned to the main hall.
Consort Zhou was, after all, a noble consort. Even if Mrs. Liu Sr. was angry, she couldn't say much in front of her. However, she indirectly pointed out what the Liu Mansion had done. Seeing Sister Ning's furrowed brows, her heart lifted with concern.
