Nanny Gu knelt down and bowed, then took her people out.
"Madam Liu, go guard the door."
"yes."
After everyone had left, Madam Wei looked at the panicked Wei and whispered, "Mother taught you this before. No matter what happens, you must never lose your composure, especially in front of outsiders. You must never speak carelessly."
