The maid was aware that she had bumped into a lady, so she kneeled down in front of Gu Chaoyan directly and kept kowtowing. "Sorry, Miss, sorry Miss."
She kowtowed and mumbled constantly.
The passing servants, madams and ladies could not help but turn to this position. Before Madam Gu could say a thing, Gu Ruxue appeared and said with a gentle tone, "just rise, please." She turned to Gu Chaoyan afterwards. "Sister, she bumped into you accidentally. Don't blame her any more."
The bystanders threw a very meaningful glance at Gu Chaoyan.
Blaming the servants would be alright if conducted at one's own mansion, but a lady should not blame servants outside her home - that was not a good thing for reputation.
Gu Chaoyan had not said a thing, before Gu Ruxue defined her in this way.
