"Sister Ming Yang, do you need anything?" Hemei asked, her voice neither too high nor too low, clearly enunciated.
Ming Yang hurriedly shook her head, "No, nothing!"
As the Head Maid, she had arrived earlier, but her status was also somewhat precarious.
In the study, Yun Jinnian heard Ming Yang's voice and, after a moment's thought, softly called, "Ming Yang, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Ming Yang quickly entered the study and bowed to Yun Jinnian, "Miss!"
"Ming Yang, please sit!"
"This servant dares not!" Ming Yang said, her heart becoming even more perturbed.
Yun Jinnian chuckled, "Sit down, let's have a talk!"
Ming Yang gingerly seated herself halfway.
Yun Jinnian then spoke very earnestly, "No matter when, I always remember that winter's day, the Sister Ming Yang who was punished for pleading on my behalf and knelt alongside me!"
"And the Sister Ming Yang who suffered with me at Yingci'an!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Yang's eyes reddened slightly.
