Cuiyu was a person close to Madam, and the maids in the residence were quite polite to her. When they heard her utterance, which was both sudden and abrupt, they didn't find it odd and responded, "I heard that several bodies were dug up from the well in the back courtyard!"
After this statement, the two maids exchanged a glance and both shook their heads in horror.
But Cuiyu was stunned, murmuring to herself, "Bodies?"
Seeing her dazed look, the maids thought she was frightened, and they chuckled nervously again, saying to her, "Perhaps, they accidentally fell in. Although rare, such things do happen."
Subconsciously, Cuiyu shook her head and came back to her senses. Seeing that the two maids were staring at her with puzzled faces, she forced a slight smile, "It's nothing. I'm busy with something else and must be going."
With that, she walked forward a few steps, slightly absent-minded.
Seeing her pale face, the maids didn't think much of it, simply assuming she was scared.
