Nanny Guo had a scrutinizing look on her face. Seeing Madame Yue's weak gaze, she said, "Concubine Yue, Lady wants to see you."
"I, I'll go see Lady right away." Madame Yue knew she couldn't resist, so she obediently followed.
Nanny Guo nodded in satisfaction.
After Madame Yue was brought inside, she found only Third Madam alone in the room; all the other servants had left. She looked at her with increasing anxiety.
"Lady," Madame Yue greeted softly.
Third Madam Qi put down the twig in her hand, turned around, and asked, "Are you on good terms with Huo Ning?"
"I knew Miss Huo before, and we got along okay. Miss Huo is kind-hearted, so she took extra care of us."
"Oh? She took such care of you that she dared to come to my Qi Residence. That can't simply be described as 'okay,' can it?" Third Madam Qi looked at her piercingly, clearly not believing her.
