Secrets of the pavilion!

"Why aren't you pulling your hand back even though I am about to place these creatures on your cut?"

"I trust you, madam, you won't do anything you harm me," Meixiang replied, smiling, Madam Ju placed the creatures on her wound, she watched as they moved around the cut stinging her, she winced in pain but she didn't want to make too much fuss.

After some seconds, madam Ju removed the ants and placed them back into the box.

"It seems like I have really misjudged you," Madam Ju remarked with her lips slightly tilted to the side.

"What does madam mean? you have always treated me fairly,"

"When your step-mom first sold you to the pavilion, I saw the look in your eyes from the stairs, you looked angry and I could see that you are someone who had too much pride, you looked talented and intelligent so I immediately chose you to serve me at first sight," she paused for a while and scanned her face.
