Chapter 1415: Revised: Chapter 1412 Slapping the Face
Huo Hongyan had not yet seen this scene and suddenly burst into laughter.
The two then walked along the gravel path towards Molan.
Suddenly, a maidservant appeared halfway and accidentally spilled a cup of tea on Huo Hongyan’s dress.
Huo Hongyan, to prevent any sabotage today, wore a dark blue dress. But even so, a whole cup of tea was poured on her dress hem, making it impossible to ignore.
“Young miss, it was my mistake.” The maidservant fell to her knees with a thud, her body trembling.
Chu Ziluo looked down and asked the maidservant to raise her head, “What’s your na?”
Panic flashed in the little maid’s eyes, as if she had not expected to be asked.
In a muffled voice, she said, “My na is Chunju.”
Chu Ziluo nodded and called two maidservants over, pointing to the maid kneeling on the ground, “Do you know her na?”
The kneeling maid’s face suddenly turned pale, and she kowtowed to plead for forgiveness.
Chu Ziluo’s voice remained gentle, “Stop kowtowing. I’m just asking for your identity, and I’m not going to do anything else. Haven’t you maidservants learned the rules? If you keep kowtowing, I’ll really get angry.”
The maidservant gripped her skirt tightly, her fingertips turning white, but she dared not kowtow again.
The two maidservants who ca over glanced at the kneeling maid.
They looked puzzled and hesitated for a mont, not daring to answer.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Ziluo was sowhat puzzled, with a hint of confusion in her voice, “Don’t you know this maidservant?”
The two maidservants trembled slightly, hesitating.
At this ti, the commotion attracted several young misses.
Leading them were the eldest and second young misses of the Liu family.
“Ms. Chu, what’s going on?”
Since everyone had t in the garden before, it was Chu Ziluo’s first visit. Madam Li, the Young Wife of the Li Family, had pulled her around to et many of the young misses.
The Liu sisters also knew Chu Ziluo.
Since Miss Qi the Third, Qi Rong, fell into the ice lake at the Princess’ Mansion, she had never attended another banquet. The Liu sisters had no rivals anymore and were always fawned upon at banquets.
“Miss Liu, Second Miss Liu.”
Liu Qingyuan seed curious and glanced at the shivering maidservant kneeling on the ground, “What happened here?”
“Ah, this maidservant accidentally spilled tea on Ms. Huo, so I asked for her na. For so reason, none of them are willing to say it. I already said it’s just a casual question, and there would be no punishnt. Alas.” Chu Ziluo furrowed her delicate brows, sowhat helpless.
Liu Qingyuan’s eyes sparkled.
The second young miss, Liu Qingduo, standing beside her, lost her patience, “If they don’t want to say it, then don’t. Ms. Chu, why are you forcing them?”
“Qingduo, don’t speak nonsense.” Liu Qingyuan showed an exasperated expression and apologized to Chu Ziluo, “My sister is straightforward and speaks without thinking. Please don’t mind her. But now, the urgent matter is to let Miss Huo change her clothes. Arguing with a maidservant is pointless.”
Chu Ziluo nodded at her words, “Is that so? Then I won’t speak with the Second Miss in the future, to avoid any unpleasantness. I hope the Second Miss can also maintain this understanding with .”
She smiled and replied to Liu Qingyuan, “Miss Liu is right. Ms. Huo has already gone to change her clothes. I was just asking casually. It’s a trivial matter, so Miss Liu can consider it my bad luck. After all, how could a young miss tolerate a maidservant’s insolence? Not knowing the situation, others might think the host family didn’t treat their guests well.”
