"Madam!" Mrs. Lin said with a pale face, "Now the whole capital is talking about Qingqing and the Second Young Master. If we wait until his wounds are healed before discussing this, I fear Qingqing will have to... have to... cut her hair and become a nun!"
"Qingqing cannot live in the capital," Mrs. Lin cried, "I implore you, for the sake of my worry as a mother and the mutual love between the Second Young Master and Qingqing, please show mercy and let them be together!"
"Mrs. Lin, I understand your feelings," the Old Madam Xiao said, "However, this matter has caused my household to lose face."
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and directly knelt in front of the Old Madam.
"Mrs. Lin, what are you doing!" The Old Madam hurriedly instructed Nanny Wang, "Quickly help Mrs. Lin up!"
But Mrs. Lin insisted on staying down, making it difficult for Nanny Wang to help her up. "Old Madam, I'm not someone of significance, and my family's status is humble. Kneeling before you is expected of me."
