Uncle Du suddenly felt some sweat formed over his forehead, "Miss.."
Shao Rong did not smile as she continued in a low voice, "I also heard that you were talking behind my back?"
"No, miss. That is not what I mean. All I want is for you and Yimo to always be friends. I don't mean anything bad. Please believe me," Uncle sweated as he spoke trying to prove that he did not mean anything ill by doing this.
After all, in this line of work, he knows how the traitors would be treated. He knew how ruthless the Shao family would be once they found any traitors near them.
He had been working for the Shao family since he was a teenager. He knew how the Shao family works best. He was scared that his good intentions would be misunderstood.
He was scared of the punishment but he was also scared about his family. He doesn't want to risk everything when he has done nothing harmful to his masters.
