Throw Caution to the Wind

After hearing that the Chief Housekeeper was going to become involved, the little servant girl Liuqin immediately silenced herself. Her fiery anger diminished as well. She timidly stepped behind Shangguan Yu. 

They were in Ji Manor, not Shangguan Manor. Liuqin knew Eldest Young Master Ji would show fondness for Shangguan Yu, but he certainly would not for her. If it was discovered that the basin of water was her doing, she would be the one punished for it, even if everybody was aware that she had acted on Shangguan Yu's order. 

Chief Housekeeper Yu had worked in Ji Manor for many years and was always fair in distributing rewards and punishments. If he found out she was the one who attempted to harm the bride on the wedding day, he would skin her alive. 

Shangguan Yu's entire body was shivering. Her thoughts were muddled, but she was also aware of what would happen if her scheme was discovered. She had no choice but to accept what had happened.
