Chapter 1409 Slap in the face

  Huo Hongyan hadn't seen her before, so she burst out laughing suddenly.

  The two walked along the gravel road to Mo Lan.

  Suddenly, a maid came out halfway, and accidentally spilled a cup of tea on Huo Hongyan's skirt.

  Huo Hongyan wore a dark blue dress today to prevent being framed, but even so, a whole cup of tea was poured on her skirt, and she couldn't ignore it.

   "Miss, the maidservant made a mistake." The maidservant knelt down with a plop, trembling all over.

  Chu Ziluo lowered her head, asked the servant girl to raise her head, and asked, "What's your name?"

  A look of fear flashed in the little girl's eyes, as if she didn't expect to be asked.

  She said in a low voice, "My servant's name is Chunju."

  Chu Ziluo nodded, called two maids over, pointed to the maid kneeling on the ground and asked, "Do you know her name?"

  The servant girl kneeling on the ground suddenly turned pale, and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness.

  Chu Ziluo's voice was still very gentle: "Stop kowtowing, I'm just asking about your identity, and I don't know what to do. Haven't you maids learned the rules? If you kowtow again, I'll really get angry."

  The maid grabbed the skirt with both hands, her fingertips turned white, but she didn't dare to kowtow again.

  The two maids who came over glanced at the kneeling maid.

   Unknown, he hesitated for a long time and dared not answer.

   "What's the matter?" Chu Ziluo was a little puzzled, and there was still some confusion in her voice: "Don't you guys know this maid?"

   The two maids trembled, hesitating.

  At this time, the movement here attracted several ladies.

   Among them, the eldest and second misses of the Liu family are the leaders.

   "Sister Chu, what's going on?"

  Because everyone had seen it in the garden before, Chu Ziluo came here for the first time, and she was dragged by Mrs. Li's young lady and met with many young ladies.

  The Liu family sisters also know Chu Ziluo.

  Ever since the Third Miss Qi Rongyin fell into the frozen lake at the eldest princess's mansion, she never came out to participate in the banquet. The Liu family sisters have no rivals, and they are always sought after at the banquet.

   "Miss Liu, Miss Liu."

   Liu Qingyuan seemed a little curious, and glanced at the shivering servant girl kneeling on the ground: "What happened?"

"Ah, it was this maid who accidentally poured tea on Sister Huo's body. I asked someone what her name was. I don't know why. They didn't want to say it. I said it just casually. What will be punished, alas." Chu Ziluo frowned immaturely, feeling a little helpless.

  Liu Qingyuan's eyes flickered.

  Liu Qingduo, the second young lady of the Liu family standing beside her, lost her patience: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Sister Chu, why are you so reluctant?"

"Qingduo, don't talk nonsense." Liu Qingyuan apologized to Chu Ziluo with a helpless expression: "My sister has a straight temper and can't talk with her head. Don't mind, but the most important thing now is to let Miss Huo change her clothes. There's no point arguing with a maid."

  Chu Ziluo nodded when she heard the words: "That's right, then I won't talk to the second lady in the future, so as not to cause unpleasant troubles, and I hope that the second lady can also maintain a tacit understanding with me."

With a smile on her face, she replied to Liu Qingyuan's words: "Miss Liu is right. Sister Huo has already changed her clothes. I just asked casually. It doesn't matter. For such a small matter, Sister Liu, you can do what I want." After all, how can a lady be angry with a maid, and those who don’t know think it’s because the master’s hospitality is not good.”
