Three days later.
The Ye Family at the Ye Mansion received a message from the palace, delivered by Nanny Gui on behalf of the Empress.
Nanny Gui has served the Empress for many years, holding a high status in the palace. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she walks with authority there. Nearly fifty, she is robustly built and fierce-looking, with a sharp glint in her muddled eyes.
She stood in the main hall of the Ye Mansion, dressed in a sea pomegranate red palace gown with curling lotus patterns, relaying the orders of Empress Jinlan.
Behind her stood two Little Palace Maids and two Little Eunuchs, respectfully waiting by her side.
Ye Family felt unusually surprised; apart from having a few encounters with the Empress during palace banquets, they had no personal connections. Why would Nanny Gui come?
Regardless of the reason, it was best to be polite to the visitor.
Gradually, from Nanny Gui's words, a hint of something amiss was detected.
