Steward Zhao looked at the maid and said, “I won’t argue with a person who is about to die.”
The maid retorted, “Steward Zhao, what do you mean? Even if I was the one in the wrong, you don’t have to make it sound so ugly, right?”
“Miss Xiao, are you sure that she is your maid and not the other way around? What happened today will definitely reach Lord Xiao’s ears. With his style of doing things, the chances of this maid surviving are zero, so I won’t argue with her. Also, let me remind you, Miss Xiao. A small maid actually knows that I am the steward of the Purple Cloud Tower on her first visit. Don’t you find it strange? Forget about a maid, even the high officials and nobles in the court might not recognize me.”
Xiao Keyi now had serious doubts about her maid. She questioned her solemnly, “Chuntao, why did you bring me here?”
Initially, she did not want to go out, but Chuntao persuaded her to go to the Purple Cloud Tower. She said that there was something good there.
She usually went to the Golden Sea Pavilion to buy things and had never been to the Purple Cloud Tower. Similarly, Chuntao used to take her there, but today, she recommended a new place.
She did not think too much about it. As things developed and Chuntao acted too arrogantly, she felt that something was wrong.
“Miss, I heard that the Purple Cloud Tower has extraordinary stuff, so I brought you here. I really don’t mean anything. Please investigate.” The maid started to panic and was no longer as arrogant as before. Steward Zhao’s words greatly affected her.
Today’s events had blown up, even provoking the Purple Cloud Tower. If word reached Lord Xiao’s ears, he would definitely kill her to give those guys an explanation.
The miss was her only hope now. She had to grab onto her tightly, or she would really die.
Xiao Keyi did not express anything in the face of the maid’s explanation and pleading, nor would she immediately blame her. Even if she wanted to blame someone, she would not do it in such a public place. She was no longer in the mood to buy things. “Steward Zhao, and this miss, what happened today is nothing significant. Let’s each take a step back. I’ll take the maid back and discipline her. As for this miss, although she offended you, you slapped her twice. We’re even, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. I won’t argue with an unimportant maid,” Xue Fanxin said indifferently. Her impression of Xiao Keyi was improving.
It was rare for a well-mannered young miss to appear. Perhaps they could be friends.
Xiao Keyi did not say much. She left with her people.
The maid left did not forget to glare at Xue Fanxin, looking like she was determined to take revenge. Her gaze was extremely vicious.
Ye Jiushang noticed it too. He said to Steward Zhao, “Get rid of her.”
Steward Zhao nodded in response. “Yes.”
“What are you talking about?” Xue Fanxin asked in confusion.
“Just something unimportant. Let’s go. I’ll take you around the Purple Cloud Treasure Tower.” Ye Jiushang stroked Xue Fanxin’s head and led her inside.
