Having carefully studied the instructions, she was in no hurry to speak. She gathered herbs and headed home, waiting for the pills to take effect.
When she returned to the Jiang family, the first person she met was Jiang Erlang.
Jiang Erlang frowned and looked at her with a condemning look on his face.
Her eyes drifted from him to him, then away, then back to him again, and away again, the guilt on her face almost overflowing.
Jiang Erlang was almost laughing at her, but he couldn't bear to blame her. He just asked, "Where did you go?"
