As soon as Fourth Master came down, Fujin led everyone to pay their respects.
Ye Zao followed down, avoiding them, and also paid her respects to Fujin and everyone else.
Fujin waved her hand to tell her to rise, "This time, because Master suffered an injury, it was fortunate to have you taking care of him. You've been meritorious, forget the formalities."
After all, no matter how meritorious, a servant concubine can achieve, what can it amount to?
Even if she was praised to the skies, what then?
"Thank you, Fujin. Serving Master is servant's duty," said Ye Zao with her head bowed.
She was still the same as when she left, without any trace of pampering or arrogance.
Fujin nodded with a smile.
The Fourth Master looked at Ye Zao and felt somewhat displeased. He couldn't pinpoint what it was, but he did not like to see Ye Zao in such a lowly position, yet…it was the rule.
