The sky was about to lighten when Nanny Lv got up and dressed, ready to attend to Madam Su for her grooming.
Nanny Lv walked to Madam Su's bedroom door in a few steps and gently knocked: "Madam, it's time to get up."
There was no response from inside.
Nanny Lv knocked harder and raised her voice: "Madam, are you awake?"
The room remained silent, and Nanny Lv reached out to try the door, but it wouldn't open; Madam Su had bolted it from the inside after she left last night.
Left with no choice, Nanny Lv called out more forcefully, but Madam Su still didn't respond. At this point, Nanny Lv sensed something was amiss and hurriedly instructed: "Quick… bring someone to open the door, the Madam sleeps lightly and shouldn't be this hard to wake, something must be wrong."
The Su family's servants were startled by Nanny Lv's demeanor and hurriedly called a few family members over.
