Xiao Shen looked at Mrs. Xiao Lin, seeing her only staring blankly with her eyes wide open, appearing dazed from slumber.
"Don't worry, this is all normal; the old madam has just been sleeping for too long."
After saying this, Lin Shiyao looked toward Pei Shu'er who had already entered the room.
Her eyes carried an evident sense of pride and a deep hatred for Pei Shu'er.
Now, her body was covered with the scars of whippings, while Pei Shu'er still looked as dazzling and radiant as a bright moon, seemingly an untouchable celestial being high above.
This left her unable to let go of her frustration.
Yet, on the surface, she maintained a facade of kindness.
"Manager Pei, I'm afraid your trip was in vain; the old madam has already woken up."
Pei Shu'er looked at the state of Mrs. Xiao Lin, noticing that although her eyes were open, she seemed like a puppet.
Rather than being awake, it would be more accurate to say she was asleep with her eyes open!
