With her hands looped around Little Tian's neck, she let herself cry out loud.
"My lady, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you deliver the tea to Master Dongfang, I shouldn't have gone to watch over Ming Yan, I shouldn't have left your side..."
Little Tian returned the embrace, her face soaked in tears as well as reproach and regret.
Obviously, Dongfang Ming would never fall for the same trick again, but the unfortunate event happened because she was not able to stop her lady from executing her foolish plan!
The officers realized that the two women were not in the right state to answer them, so they turned to interrogate the other servants. "Where are you staying at? We'll come over and ask about the situation when your lady feels better."
They could tell from Little Tian's accent that they were not from around here.
The servants replied dutifully, "You can look for us at Dongfang's tailor shop."
