When Shen Lang ran out, Mulan remained in a daze for two whole minutes as she stared at his disappearing figure. Then, she continued eating her breakfast.
Beside her, a maid, Xiao Ting, said, "Miss, Young Master Shen is too petty. It'd only ruin the reputation of the Palace of the Earl."
She was tall and lanky.
The moment she said this, Mulan stopped her chopsticks as she glanced over at Xiao Ting.
She was usually kind to the servants and maids, so they were not too fearful of her.
This Xiao Ting had always been bold and vigorous in the way she did things, ensuring Mulan's life was in good order. She was considered the leader amongst the maids.
All along, everyone in the Palace of the Earl always called her Sister Xiao Ting to curry favor.
