Yueying's maid, Cai Lan, was indignant but knew she had no place to intervene at the moment. In the Lian Mansion, the hierarchy was strictly adhered to; Yuebing and Yueyao, as masters, could argue but their maids could only advise, never join in. Otherwise, if the Old Master learned of it, the lighter punishment was dismissal and the harsher was death. So, neither maid spoke up.
Another of Yueying's maids, Cai Qing, slightly changed her expression. She had always thought the Third Young Lady was weak and gentle, never expecting her to speak so sharply once she did.
Not to mention Yueying's maids, even Hua Lei was extremely surprised. The young lady usually spoke little and had never been known to argue with anyone. Yet, the sharpness of her rebuttal silenced the Second Young Lady, leaving her speechless while her own young lady appeared as if nothing had happened. When had her young lady become so formidable?
