Feng Liu blanched at that thought. Why didn't anyone tell her that Mrs Ning was here, too?!
She was about to step over the threshold, but now she hesitated.
Should she go in or not?
No, no, no —
Feng Liu turned tail, fleeing the scene!
She couldn't blow her cover at this stage!
As Feng Liu turned to leave —
Granny Gui wouldn't let her mistress leave so quickly after looking for her everywhere.
So, she raised her voice. "Miss Liu, please come in."
Granny Gui then took Feng Liu's arm and led the latter into the hall.
"Liu Er, there you are." Lady Wang was delighted. She then smiled at Lady Northern Feng and Mrs Ning. "My Liu Er is a kind, shy, and demure girl. She hardly ever meets anyone from outside. Xiao Wu is the one that's running around like a wild girl all the time. Please don't mind her."
Lady Northern Feng wasn't happy to hear that at all!
