Madam Ding was really satisfied with how things were turning out. While she was basking in the praises handed to her by the women at the tea party, Zeng Xi and her brother, Zeng Cheng were having trouble at home. They knew that their mother went to the tea party that was arranged by Madam Wang and they also knew that once she came back, she would be hurt and upset.
After all, they knew how beautiful Madam Ding was when she was young. But after taking the heavy doses of medicine, her face burned from the inside leaving her with ugly marks on her cheeks and nose.
Zeng Xi was the most worried one. She was in the same class as Madam Yue's daughter and she had heard from Yue Lin that Master Yue saw her father with a much younger woman. And they were way too cosy with one another!
Yue Lin had never gotten along with Zeng Xi which was why she knew why Yue Lin had told her that her father was almost on the verge of having an affair.
