"Young miss?!" Meimei, the maid of An Xiulan was started as they saw An Qinyan coming with An Xiulan. She was low-key shivering when she saw the both of them coming at an unexpected moment.
"What's wrong?" An Qinyan asked as she narrowed her eyes at the young girl. She had seen enough of the world to tell that something was wrong with the staff. They were all frightened and appeared as if they had committed a grave sin. She couldn't help but wonder if everything was right. After what happened today, she couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling from her heart.
"Madam–"Meimei opened her mouth to make an excuse as An Xiulan was still present there.
"Speak!"
One order and they all shivered like mice.
"Madam, the cat ate all of the young miss's chicks." A brave maid said in almost a whisper.
Thud.
An Xiulan is so precious that I wish to protect her at all costs!
