Except for the nanny, the other servants were not at home, and no one spoke, leaving the area abruptly quiet.
Qiao Xi felt somewhat uneasy for some reason, feeling restless even in this familiar place.
Qiao Xi stood up, turning her head towards the staircase, "What are Grandma and Shen Dang talking about? Why is it taking so long?"
The nanny glanced at her, "I wouldn't know that."
Qiao Xi sat down again, but within minutes she stood up again, her voice tinged with urgency, "I'm going to check on Grandma."
The nanny moved as if to stop her, but made no further action.
It was only when Qiao Xi was heading upstairs that the nanny quietly followed, her footsteps light.
Qiao Xi had been here before and remembered Old Madam's room.
She knocked on the door and, receiving no response, tried to turn the doorknob, only to find it wouldn't open, likely locked from inside.
Qiao Xi resorted to pounding on the door, "Shen Dang! Shen Dang, are you in there?"
