Chapter 346 - Mother-in-Law’s First Counterattack
The moment Auntie Qian heard people, she rushed out. She was also stunned to see Wen Jie. She didn’t think Madame Gu would actually call her over.
Auntie Qian dutifully complied, sighing as she went into the kitchen to prepare nutritious food for Mistress’s health. When she saw her complexion, she realized that Mistress’s hospitalization must have taken a huge toll on her body this time.
It was no wonder the young mistress had gotten so angry and used such harsh words when she heard that Madame Gu had called Mistress to come over.
Even as outsiders they felt distressed for Madam when they saw her.
From upstairs, Bai Yuyan had heard the noise and got out of bed to go downstairs. “Butler Kim, what’s with all this ruckus in the middle of the night?” Bai Yuyan said in irritation, sounding like the mistress of the house who had just been disturbed.
When Gu Juexi heard her, rage overwhelmed him and he shot to his feet.
Wen Jie reached out to grip Gu Juexi’s arm, motioning for him to remain calm.
“It seems I have disturbed Miss Bai’s rest. My mistake.” Wen Jie’s voice was slightly hoarse but it definitely sounded like she was mocking Bai Yuyan.
Bai Yuyan had reached the last step when she heard Wen Jie’s voice, and she hesitated before quickly changing her expression. “Oh, it is you who have come, Auntie. I am sorry, Auntie, I didn’t know that you came. How could you be bothering me? I am the one who has bothered you.”
