Xuexue's imposing manner clearly shocked the Old Maid.
"Madam Situ, please don't make it difficult for the maids. These are the orders of the Heavenly Lion, and we are just following commands."
So they claim to be following orders—does that mean they can do whatever they want?
While the argument was raging on, Celestial Master Zhang, along with the madam and the young ladies, hurried over.
Seeing the crowd gathered at the door of Xuexue's resting room, he was also startled. After exchanging a glance with the madam, he quickly stepped forward: "What are you all doing here? Don't you know Madam Situ is drunk and resting inside?"
"Heavenly Master, madam."
The servants standing at the door all bowed.
"Enough, enough. This Celestial Master asks you, what are you all doing here?"
"Madam's jade hairpin is missing. We are searching the mansion for it."
"Search if you must, but why disturb the esteemed guest here?"
The servants were silent; it was all under Nanny Fan's orders.
