The Second Madam, Mrs. Wang, was a capable person, but could she really tear her ties with the main household just to protect a maid?
She didn't know.
Thus, after feeling guilty, it became difficult for her to speak coherently.
The First Madam, Mrs. Dong, wanted exactly this hesitant appearance from her and immediately continued to scold her.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you scared?"
"This servant... this servant is not scared, just didn't know how to start speaking!"
Then she glanced up at the Second Madam, Mrs. Wang, and saw her face was also ironclad.
She could only swallow and brace herself to fabricate a story.
"Ever since Second Young Master went to the Imperial College, the study has been cleaned by a designated person. Coincidentally, today it's this servant's turn, and I was preparing to tidy up when I saw a shadow sneaking by. I followed and found out that the person was running towards Yuxin Hall."
