Ran Xiangsi did not expect Rui'er would stick up for her, making her momentarily stunned.
She did not plan to speak, and just quietly observed the situation unfold.
The three chattering servants turned their heads at Rui'er's voice and noticed a beautiful woman from Xuan Country sitting nearby. They quickly understood that she must be the Young Madam.
Two of them looked terrified and hurried to apologize to Xiangsi, only to be stopped by their companion.
"You two shouldn't go. The master hasn't acknowledged her identity yet. Why should we bow down to her?"
"But Madam already instructed us. She is the Young Madam...," the two timid ones did not dare to cause trouble.
However, the bold one seemed naturally prejudiced against Xuan Country people, combined with a bit of arrogance, and was unwilling to relent.
"Go if you want, but I won't! She's just a woman the young master brought back from outside. What's so impressive about that?"
Xiangsi raised her eyebrows at this.
