The approaching footsteps were very quiet, but fortunately, Nanny Wu heard them and quickly set down her teacup and hastened over.
She forcefully swallowed the pill.
"Coming, coming."
The door opened, revealing a servant in charge of night duty.
She quickly approached Nanny Wu and whispered, "Madam has a terrible headache and wants you to hurry up and give her a massage, but you must not disturb… Lady Tang and Young Master Zishen."
Nanny Wu frowned. "Alright, I'll be right there."
After the night-duty servant left, Nanny Wu closed the door and casually smoothed her graying temples before heading to the third floor.
Madam Lai was sitting quietly in the vast room.
There was a study here, too, smaller than the main one, but it was fully stocked with the Four Treasures of the Study, which might be needed on any given day.
