Granny Tong was somewhat angry; it was bad enough that this person showed up unannounced, but the things he said were not pleasant either, boldly claiming that her own little niece had lost her soul— who wouldn't be annoyed by that?
This little niece, due to a high fever in her childhood that left her mentally impaired, was a bit slow to respond and simple-minded, but she was an exceptionally well-behaved and kind person, dearly cherished by the entire family.
Yesterday, when their family went out to the manor for a leisure trip, her younger sister's carriage horses suddenly took fright, nearly bolting, scaring everyone out of their wits. Fortunately, Mr. Wenyuan of Changchuan Marquis Mansion happened by and had his guards help control the horses, resulting in a close call with no harm done.
