If the responsibility fell on a servant, the outcome would certainly be dire.
Ye Anqi spoke up, "Come with me to find Ya Shitian, I will say I was the one who broke the item."
The servant was stunned, his expression one of disbelief.
"No, Miss Ye, it was my fault, not yours..."
Ye Anqi walked ahead, "Follow me, what I say goes."
The servant followed behind Ye Anqi.
"Miss Ye, you're truly kindhearted. I've never seen someone as forgiving and considerate as you." He wasn't sucking up, he was genuinely praising her.
"To be able to stay at our manor is a stroke of luck for all of us servants..."
Ye Anqi suddenly countered, "Were Ya Shitian's women unkind to you before?"
"No, it's just that we couldn't afford to make mistakes, the consequences for errors were very severe."
"All the women were like that?"
"More or less," said the servant with a naive smile. "But you're the best, Miss Ye, everyone says you're approachable and have a very good temperament behind closed doors."
