Xiao Xi’s hands suddenly stopped. The puppy maid looked like she was about to cry, before realizing that she should ask for pity from her miss who she had served since before she could remember.
“Miss, miss please don’t fire me. You can let Chang jiejie be your personal maid and tell me to go cut logs, but please don’t fire me. I promise I’ll be more careful. I won’t let you be punished again because of my mistake because I couldn’t take care of miss enough. I—“
“Stop!”
Xiao Xi closed her mouth. Her eyes were red like she could start crying at any moment.

Bai Yu would order them to be flogged and beat until Yue Mei stopped sending maids to serve her, for fear that the truth of her daughter’s character would be exposed.
