Chapter 397_1

Xiaofang, observing Lin Yue in this manner, was uncertain whether Lin Yue had connected today's events to her own doing, but until Lin Yue spoke of it, Xiaofang would absolutely not mention it. Moreover, although Xiaofang outwardly showed respect to Lin Yue, she did not necessarily feel it inwardly. To her, a rural farmwife from a small place who could merely read and write was already doing well, and would likely be ignorant of the conspiracies and deceptions within a great household. With this in mind, Xiaofang did not admit her fault and simply kept begging for mercy.

"Madam Lin, I beg of you, if the Family Head knows of the incident you encountered in the back garden, he will not spare this servant. He will blame me for not taking good care of you. Besides, it was I who suggested that you go to the back garden to relax. It was meant kindly; who would have thought that such an incident would occur? I beg Madam Lin to show mercy and save me this once."
