The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and dazzling sunlight rushed in, illuminating the dust flying in the air.
Pei Yue subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and the light leaking between her fingers allowed her to see the person clearly.
The leader was a woman in her early forties, wearing a brand-new sapphire blue armor with a silver hairpin in her hair. She had a smile on her face, but her shrewd triangular eyes looked her up and down unabashedly, as if she was assessing the quality of a piece of goods.
"Oh, my eldest lady, I have finally met you." When the old woman spoke, her voice was high and thin, revealing a deliberate warmth, "This old slave is Nanny Zhang who is serving beside the madam. She has come to take you back to the house on the orders of the master and madam."
Pei Yue slowly put down her hand, a timid expression appeared on her pale face, and her body shrank slightly, as if she was frightened by the battle.
Her appearance played right into Grandma Zhang's hands.
Before coming here, my wife had confessed that this eldest daughter who had been raised in the countryside for ten years was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. She had a cowardly temperament and a weak body that could be blown down by a gust of wind. Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
Nanny Zhang felt more contempt in her heart, but the smile on her face became more "kind": "Miss, don't be afraid. The house has been taken care of, and we are waiting for you to go back. Quickly, pack up, we will set off now."
Pei Yue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes, covering all the emotions in her eyes.
