The man standing in front of Madam She the matriarch and scolding QingWu was the second son of the Luyang Prince's Manor, Chu Xiao.
Before QingWu could respond, Madam She pushed Chu Xiao aside and ordered, "Shut this fool up and take him away."
"Mother?" Chu Xiao, being pushed away by his own mother, looked hurt. Before he could say anything else, the butler quickly apologized and ordered the servants to gag him with a silk handkerchief.
It wasn't just Chu Xiao who was confused. Everyone else was equally bewildered. The sight of QingWu striking Madam She the matriarch with a willow twig had shocked them all.
But Madam She's reaction was even more unexpected.
Only the matriarch Madam She understood what had just happened. After seeing the second branch's wife, she had felt unwell, her breathing heavy, as though a stone was pressing down on her shoulders.
When QingWu struck her with the willow twig, Madam She immediately felt lighter, and her breathing eased.
