Gu Fan stepped through the heavy double doors of the Matriarch's private quarters, and he kicked the doors shut behind him.
Madam Li had already commanded the maids and servants to clear the courtyard and she has erected a barrier that even her husband would have difficulty breaching through.
Like always, the room smelled of expensive sandalwood incense and sweet perfume, but today Madam Li did not gave Gu Fan the warm welcome he was used to.
She was pacing furiously at the foot of the bed, and her face was frowning intensely with jealousy.
As soon as she heard the lock click, she spun around and marched right up to him.
She didn't care that he was covered in dried mud, beast blood, and the foul stench of the toxic forest, Madam Li shoved him hard against the heavy wooden doors.
