Chapter 210: Fury

Miao Zhu's eyes were blank and hollow. From the moment the young master answered his mother's questions, she had lost any will to live. She just watched, detached and indifferent, as events unfolded in the side hall, like a mere spectator. Even when she heard she was going to be executed, she didn't feel any fear, rather she felt a sense of release.

She hoped this lowly life would end soon. What was there to argue about?

What was the use of arguing? She was but a humble maid, no one would listen to her, and no one cared about her.

But when she heard this servant leader, who always cursed her for her dullness, pleading for her, a strange feeling arose in Miao Zhu's heart at the moment when Mrs. Liu was haggling her. Her eyes were blurred by tears.
