Cao Luyun looked ill at ease. She took a few steps forward and said, "I am truly sorry. I have been lax in managing my servants, allowing them to gossip and speak such filth. It is truly my fault. I beg for Liang Ji's forgiveness."
She sounded sincere. As she spoke, she raised her hands to her brow and bowed deeply.
Liang Wan did not speak, so Cao Luyun did not rise.
An ordinary concubine was expected to be like a servant, waiting on the main wife all day. Not only was backtalk forbidden, but even speaking loudly was not allowed.
But this one? Forget serving tea after joining the household—she didn't even appear for daily greetings. And now, she was making the main wife bow in apology to a mere concubine. It was utterly out of line!
Brazen. Absolutely brazen!
