Clearly, it was Li Yan who asked the question, but she turned her response towards Gu Tong, trying hard to disassociate herself from it.
The truth? A lie?
This is getting interesting!
"Let's start with the lie!" Gu Tong, going against the norm, threw out the question first.
An Xiangxiang paused for a bit and said, "I care about the young mistress and am afraid she's not eating well. So, as servants, we should understand the young mistress's dietary habits to serve her properly."
This is interesting, considering it as a lie!
Gu Tong propped her chin on her hand and asked, "And the truth?"
An Xiangxiang replied without hesitation, "The truth is, the sisters who spoke up for the young mistress yesterday all got raises. I want to get a pay raise too, but my work isn't as good as theirs. So, I've been paying close attention to the young mistress's diet to make her eat comfortably and improve her health."
