Chapter 95: Receiving the Dowry (Part 1)

Old Madam leaned against the dark green damask cushion, her eyes seemingly closed as if she were asleep, with Senior Maids Qiao Hui and Qiao Ru standing by her side.

Nanny Zheng stood in front of Old Madam, feeling a sudden surge of panic. Just moments ago, Old Madam had mentioned she had questions for her, yet she hadn't spoken a word, leaving Nanny Zheng quite unsettled.

After what seemed like an eternity, Old Madam finally opened her eyes and said faintly to Nanny Zheng, "How long has it been?" which obviously referred to how long she had been associated with the Lady family.

Nanny Zheng was startled, thinking that Old Madam had asked the wrong question, perhaps wondering about the current Shichen Chinese Time. Before she could speak, a cold glance from Old Madam made her legs go weak, and she knelt down, clinging to a last hope without confessing.
