"Yes, Madam!" Madam Wu dared not even breathe loudly, respectfully stepping aside, "Farewell, Madam!"
Madam Wu silently reminded herself, from now on it is better to offend Aunt Gu than to offend Madam! Madam is truly the mistress of this household!
This clean and decisive move, removing Miss from the scene and harshly punishing Mrs. Liu, was beautifully executed! Miss couldn't voice her suffering, and even if she wanted to plead on behalf of Mrs. Liu, she couldn't, otherwise it would indirectly confirm Mrs. Liu's words, making it impossible for her to save face. But if she did not speak up for Mrs. Liu, everyone clearly knew Mrs. Liu was her scapegoat, and seeing Mrs. Liu's fate would undoubtedly dishearten them, making them reluctant to assist her in the future, or they would at least think twice before doing so.
