The sounds of fighting outside were diminishing, and Gu Chengyu estimated that the battle was almost over.
"Miss! Are you all right? You scared this old servant to death. If anything happens to you, how could this old servant face the old master and the madam?" The old woman was Yao Mengxian's nursemaid, who had watched her grow up and was utterly loyal to her. If anything happened to the young lady, her heart would break.
"Mrs. Gao, I'm fine now!"
Qing Dai hurriedly stepped forward to support her lady. She had truly been frightened out of her wits just now. It was all her fault; if she hadn't made noise, the River Bandits wouldn't have broken in. If anything happened to the young lady, she would be culpable no matter how many deaths she suffered.
Yao Mengxian couldn't guess what Qing Dai was thinking. She had already realized that these were benefactors she had mistaken for River Bandits.
