Xuexue's words were an utter humiliation for Miss Zhang, who had always lived a sheltered life.
The mention of the word "maid" was particularly cutting and struck her to the core. Tears nearly fell, but she stood in place silently, aggrieved and downtrodden.
Xuexue said no more and strode forward.
Zi Xia followed closely behind.
Miss Zhang and her servant remained behind with Mei Hua, who was still writhing on the ground, while the others had already left.
The maid reached out and tugged on Miss Zhang: "Miss, hurry up and go; the eldest young lady has already walked far ahead."
Miss Zhang wiped away her tears and asked, "Do you think it was right or wrong for us to come to the General's Mansion?"
"We came here because we had no choice, Miss. You must take things in stride. Once we get through these days, we can go back home."
"You're right."
