The old woman's eyes darted around, how could she let such a good opportunity slip by?
"Hong Mei, although I'm old and have difficulty walking, I can still deliver a message. You are always by the Young Lady's side, and Madam cannot do without you for even a moment. Let me, the old servant, take care of this errand for you!"
Hong Mei glanced at her sideways, and the old woman offered a pleasing smile, nodding and bowing incessantly.
"If that's the case, then from now on, I will have to trouble you, mama." Hong Mei smiled sweetly and turned to head back to her room. This old woman was a long-time servant of the Li Mansion, and her complaints would be far more effective than those from Hong Mei herself.
The old woman secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and sighed in relief. "From now on"? Did that mean she wouldn't be sent away? How wonderful!
