Luo Yuejiao could only feel that the bluestone pavement in the courtyard was so hot that it burned her feet. She truly wanted to leave, but she was also worried about Hua Xiaomai, who was alone and vulnerable, so she had to put on a brave face, tightly shut her mouth, and grind her teeth audibly. However, as she had no intention of leaving, Guan Rong's mother on the other hand, was already restless. Seizing the moment while nothing involved her, she stood up, patted her pants, and said with a forced smile: "I've been here quite a long time already, I should get back to check on things at home; there's still a lot waiting for me!"
She muttered in a low voice: "Busy from dawn to dusk every day, never a moment of peace," and edged towards the courtyard exit.
