From the main house, one could still hear the father and eldest brother talking in hushed tones.
In the east wing, Madam Chen loudly reprimanded Su Jian for wetting his pants.
Su Jian howled a few times.
Mrs. Zhou then went to coax her grandson.
...
Su Xuerong's eyelids grew heavy, and she closed her eyes...
Before she opened her eyes again, her heart began to pound.

Su Xuerong closed her eyes again before slowly exhaling a helpless sigh.
