PANEL ONE:
Grandpa Lin replies to Min Hua (who is off camera) as Xiu Mei practices in the background.
Grandpa Lin: Haiyaou had a girl with him did he? Interesting. Xiu Mei, prepare yourself for a little exhibition spar.
PANEL TWO:
Xiu Mei pulls Min Hua to the side.
Xiu Mei: Go clean yourself up. You look terrible. Honestly.
PANEL THREE:
Xiu Mei releases her hold on Min Hua.
Xiu Mei: Could you, I don't know, try not being pathetic? Maybe... pretend to have some dignity? At least until the company is gone.
PANEL FOUR:
Min Hua is inside, looking in a mirror and trying to arrange her hair to best hide the bruises Xiu Mei gave her on page one.
Min Hua: How the heck am I supposed to hide all of this and still see? At least she lent me her brush...

Is Min Hua *bruised* here, or is it just dirt from working around the house, sparring, not paying attention much to hygiene, etc.?

Them there’s some bruising.
I’ve got a much better understanding about how long those last now as opposed to a few years back, but yeah. Xiu Mei really let her have it.
