Qiao Duo'er kindly reminded, "Your maid needs to be disciplined. She starts pushing and shoving after just a couple of words; how embarrassing would that be outside?"
"You may leave," said Yin Yinyue, waving her hand.
Autumn Water obeyed and left, but not without giving Qiao Duo'er a nasty look on her way out.
It was all this damned woman's fault for stirring up trouble!
Soon the room returned to tranquility, and Yin Yinyue said sternly, "Madam Tan, if you sell me the formula, we can wipe the slate clean of past events."
"Past events?"
Qiao Duo'er looked innocent. Had she ever owed anything to Yin Yinyue?
She thought hard but still could recall nothing.
Yin Yinyue reminded her with a dark face, "Your seduction of Liang Hao."
"Miss Yin, please watch your words. My daughter-in-law and Young Master Liang are innocent. Your baseless accusations not only tarnish my daughter-in-law's reputation but could also ruin Young Master Liang's marriage prospects."
