Indeed, not long after, the elderly woman returned with a smile.
Behind her followed a middle-aged woman dressed even more luxuriously, who looked like a steward of the mansion.
The elderly woman referred to her as Nanny Wei, a trusted attendant who served Mrs. Ding closely and had come especially at her command to invite the couple for a meeting.
"Sorry to have kept the two of you waiting!"
Nanny Wei wore a big smile, appearing to be extremely warm, and first apologized to the couple, then explained why the matriarch had slept so long today.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji exchanged a glance, shook their heads to indicate it was no trouble, and followed Nanny Wei out of the side hall into the innermost courtyard of the Ding Mansion, where they finally met Mrs. Ding.
