In Jin Xu's astonished gaze,
the landlady quickly walked towards the dining hall's main entrance.
As she walked, she couldn't help but scold.
"Granny, you are injured, how did you get here, you..."
The landlady reached the door and habitually stretched out her hand to help support the other's arm.
However, what greeted her this time was not the familiar kind smile but rather the ebony cane she had personally bought for the other.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of flesh being struck.
The landlady's gaze in shock as she flew backwards, crashing heavily onto the floor tiles beside her.
"Pfft!"
She spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the jade-green floor tiles in front of her, yet at this moment, the landlady could not feel the pain in her body; she was simply stunned on the ground.
She did not understand why Granny Meng, who was supposed to be recuperating in her room, appeared here; she was even more baffled why the always kind and benevolent granny had struck her.
