Madam Xie sincerely kowtowed to the head madam. The head madam hadn't expected such a grand gesture and quickly stepped forward to support her. "Madam Xie, there's no need for such ceremony. Please, have a seat." Then she looked at Xie Linlang. "Linlang, help your mother to her seat."
Xie Linlang acknowledged her and stepped forward to help her mother sit down.
Madam Xie took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. "I must have made a fool of myself before you, Madam. I truly don't know how to thank you. My daughter has been through so much, and you have intervened on her behalf every time. It's a blessing she must have earned over three lifetimes."
The head madam could see that Madam Xie was truly grateful. She understood this gratitude, as she had a daughter of her own.
