Facing her gratitude, Xu Qiaoqiao found herself at a loss for words.
All she could reply was, "It was the least I could do."
Ye Qijun had killed Ning Xie. This was all she could do for Ning Xie now.
But she didn't dare to speak these words aloud.
She just nodded at Mrs. Ning, then took a step back.
Xu Mushen seemed to sense something amiss. Frowning, he glanced at the trembling maid and slowly said, "Aunt, perhaps we should discuss whether this was an accident or deliberately done."
Mrs. Ning's pupils contracted at these words.
She spoke, surprised, "You're saying…"
She suddenly turned her head to look at the maid, who was standing by with her head bowed, and blurted out, "A Hong, did you... did you do this on purpose?"
A Hong hastily waved her hands, "No, Madam, no, it was an accident, my bad, sob sob... "
Finishing her sentence, she bowed her head and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Mrs. Ning narrowed her eyes, staying silent.
