Shu Han glanced at the change in her expression and hurriedly explained, "Eldest Young Miss Liu, the child is still young and doesn't understand things well. After her parents passed away, she was raised by her uncle and aunt. They were afraid that the child, being inexperienced, might offend the noble people on her first visit to the palace. So they instilled this concept in her - if she sees something wrong, she should kneel down and kowtow. I've been trying to correct her all along and she promised to behave, but she couldn't handle the situation when she got nervous."
"It's alright," Liu Shimei sighed and said, "Ask the child to get up quickly."
She didn't blame the child; she just felt sorry for her.
The Shu family had good values, but being fostered by her uncle and aunt, no matter how good they were, they couldn't compare to her own parents.
