Ye Qichi walked into the separate courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet in the early dawn light.
Weeds grew thickly within the courtyard, suggesting it had not been tended to for quite some time.
Ye Qichi followed the stairs and came before a door, then knocked.
The door opened, and a Maid appeared at the doorway, draped in a thick garment, her face abnormally flush with red, and with red sores scattered across her face. Her spirit was very downcast at the moment. Seeing Ye Qichi, she seemed surprised but showed little interest in other matters due to her discomfort. In a sickly voice, she asked, "Are you here to take care of the young mistress?"
The people here had actually been replaced several times already.
The Maids who came to take care of Pang Nan's daughter, Pang Yuehuan, kept dying one after the other due to infection and because they could not afford expensive medications for treatment.
