"I'm sorry, Aunt. My sister is so immature. I hope you won't take it to heart. She's still a child," Kong Lu said with an apologetic smile.
Xia He said from the side, "Your sister treats me like this in my own house. How dare she speak to my aunt in this manner now? Do you think that my Xia family can be easily bullied?"
To Xia He, Old Madam Kong's insults and Kong Li ordering her to do things were all her own family matters. Since she had married into the Kong family, she had no choice. However, for such things to happen to any Xia family members, she deemed it to have crossed her bottom line.
"No, no. It was a slip of the tongue on my sister's part. I hope you can forgive her," Kong Lu said.
