The maidservant expressed concern, saying, "I understand. Madam Shao's sudden illness must be distressing. Our Madam specifically instructed us to convey our regards and assess Madam Shao's condition. We'll inform her upon our return! Could you allow us to enter and perform a kowtow? We assure you that we'll stand at a distance and not disturb Madam Shao."
Another servant added, "Absolutely. Our Madam also emphasized the same. Miss, please consider allowing just the two of us to enter. By offering our respects and a quick glance, we can provide a reassuring report to Madam!"
"Indeed!"
Lixia and Liqiu concealed their annoyance. Initially skeptical of the Old Master's warning about potential troublemakers, they now found themselves facing the reality of unwanted guests.
As Lixia and Liqiu spoke, their expressions betrayed some irritation. It seemed that these visitors had intentions beyond mere well-wishing.
