The servants who came and went were all submissive. When they met their master, they stood silently at the side with their hands by their sides. They were quiet and orderly while abiding by the strict rules.
The group passed through half of the residence and arrived at a courtyard to the northwest of the residence.
The Old Madam's courtyard was unusually quiet and lifeless. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the scent of medicine everywhere.
Gu Yanfei immediately felt the uncomfortable feeling in her heart become stronger.
An old granny with a wrinkled face welcomed them. After bowing, she respectfully led the group into the house. Her brows were furrowed and she looked worried.
As Gu Yanfei walked forward, she casually observed her surroundings.
On the west side of the courtyard, an old pine tree had withered.
The water in the small pond by the old pine tree had dried up.
