While everyone in the room sat and stood rooted in shock, Housekeeper Xu recovered from his own quite fast, thanks to his experiences of handling bizarre situations. And then he looked at the two parties, Mrs. Gu and the other side, the maids, who did nothing but stare, with their eyes almost popping out.
And then he saw Gu Yeze, the most unbothered person one could find in the whole entire world, who had his eyes glued to only the woman in his arms as the others in the room didn't even exist.
The old man took a deep breath and then cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. Which he failed successfully in his first attempt. So he tried again and this time almost coughing his throat out, and it worked. Ning Mei and the maids broke out from their shocked trance and faced the buttler of the house.
