"..." The face of the Secondary Princess Consort Tong standing nearby darkened. "Madam Ye, this nanny is my personal nanny. There's a saying, even when hitting a dog, one must consider its owner. Isn't your way of speaking inappropriate?"
"First, even if I don't know all the rules, I do know that the Secondary Princess Consort shouldn't refer to herself as 'this consort'. Second, since it's just a dog, if it's to be hit, let it be hit. Why look here and there? Any master with insight would understand that if the dog was beaten, it's because the dog went mad and bit someone. If it's truly a mad dog that bites people, which owner would trouble the one bitten? Third, she says I have no manners? In what way am I lacking manners? If she bites randomly without understanding the situation, she deserves the beating and scolding. Fourth, even if I lack manners, is she, a mere servant, in any place to criticize?"
