Sima Liuyue was taken aback for a moment. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she didn't dare stop Baili Xia from seeing the Old Madam.
She let out a cold snort, edged aside, and allowed her to pass.
Baili Xia approached the Old Madam, bowed, and said softly, "Old Madam."
The old woman nodded at her, but the anxiety on her face did not diminish in the slightest.
The conversation between Baili Xia and Sima Liuyue earlier hadn't registered with the Old Madam because of her anxious heart.
Although some people heard it, without concrete evidence, no one dared to speak up.
Now that Baili Xia was in front of the Old Madam, though everyone watched her, no one stopped her.
Baili Xia looked at the Old Madam and said sincerely, "Old Madam, I am Mr. Nangong's apprentice and also knowledgeable in medicine. Do you think I could go inside..."
"No way!" someone shouted loudly from the courtyard gate.
