Upon the Old Madam's command, the most formidable maids from Fushou Courtyard immediately set off for Haitang Courtyard.
Guarding the gate was Granny Liu.
She had served in the Lu Family for many years and recognized everyone close to the Old Madam, especially the intimidating Granny Zhou leading the charge.
She hurriedly greeted them with courtesy: "Elder Sister, what wind blows you here today?"
Granny Zhou, full of airs, snapped, "Out of the way!"
Granny Liu's smile froze, but she didn't budge.
Granny Zhou impatiently glared at her: "Didn't you hear me? Move aside!"
Granny Liu replied, "May I ask what brings Elder Sisters to Haitang Courtyard so early?"
Granny Zhou barked, "Do I need to explain myself to a mere gatekeeper like you? Scram!"
"What's all the racket about this early in the morning?"
Nanny Wan slammed the half-washed garment in her basin back into the water!
