"Jin Fang. Would you mind coming with me to help get the new hires acclimated to their environment?," Daria asked.
"Of course, ma'am."

"Of course dear," Zhen Yan with a nod and easy smile.

"Father! We have ret-whoa!"
"Oh my!"
<That's a lot of blood!>
"Why does it smell/look like a butcher's shop in here?"
"Oh thank goodness, you're back."
When Zhen Liu and his family returned to the estate, they were greeted with the sight of a blood bath, both literally and figuratively.
