"Grand... Grandmother?"
The middle-aged man tentatively called out, his face filled with a worried look, ready to flee at any moment, not daring to raise his face.
Sure enough, upon hearing the middle-aged man's voice, the grandmother frowned and revealed a hint of displeasure on her face.
Anyone could feel it; the grandmother was already angry.
She had made it clear she didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. Now that she had only just sat down and hadn't even settled in, someone was calling out to her—it would be strange if she weren't mad.
Seeing the worried expression on the middle-aged man's face and the grandmother's frowning action, the empress waved her hand, signaling the middle-aged man to back away.
The middle-aged man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed.
"Grandmother!"
The empress called out softly, her face full of a curious expression.
