Before she could even speak, another commotion broke out outside, and several maids and servants from the Marquis's mansion knelt down in front of Old Madam He.
The spectacular scene before her startled Old Madam He, causing her to take a few steps back. Fortunately, Song Xizhi reacted quickly and caught her.
"It wasn't just Aunt Cao's idea; it also involved me. I work in the storeroom, so I deliberately had someone deliver inferior charcoal to Guanyun Pavilion. Others assumed it was the old lady's idea, so they did as she suggested!"
