Li Yun explained, but the maid completely ignored her, continuously cleaning the stove and turning up her nose disdainfully.
Li Yun frowned and took a step inside, the pungent smell growing stronger, forcing her to stop in her tracks.
The maid looked at her with contempt. "You can't handle this smell?"
"What is this smell?"
The maid snorted coldly, "Don't you know? Today, the Crown Princess Consort is preparing medicine. This is the residue smell left from boiling the medicinal ingredients. Since you're here to help clean, hurry up and throw this out and scrub it clean."
Li Yun's face darkened, clenching her teeth in anger, "But I don't know where to dump this, and…"
The maid, growing impatient, cut her off, "Enough, I'll tell you what to do. Just do it without all this fuss."
Li Yun's face turned steel blue, and she felt helpless. Could it be that the maid agreed so readily to her request because she had been tricked?
