Let’s see you compete with me.
Shui’er stuck out her tongue, disapproving: “No, it should be said that Zi’er is easy to fool. Look, Zui’er and I weren’t fooled!”
You little brat, always undermining me…
I glared at her fiercely: “If you weren’t fooled, why did you hide so far away?”
Shui’er responded: “I was just cooperating with you!”
Seeing me silent, the girl tilted her head and asked: “Madam, why did you want to bring Zi’er to serve?”
I answered impatiently: “Of course because she’s more clever than you two!”
Shui’er immediately curled her lips, though she said nothing.
I couldn’t help but glare at her: “What’s with that look?”
The little maid commented: “Shui’er might be stupid, but look how easily Zi’er was fooled.”
I slightly raised my lips, concluding: “That’s called being kind-hearted!”
Shui’er disdainfully curled her lips: “I think you’re just playing favorites!”
I continued to glare at her: “You’re being disrespectful!”
Shui’er replied: “You were the one who told us to treat you like a friend.”
“I, I… I don’t want you anymore!” In a fit of anger, I finally pulled out my ultimate weapon! Hmph, let’s see how you compete with me…
The girl was full of spirit just a moment ago, but in the next second, she seemed to suddenly realize something and said with a drooping face: “Madam, you can’t be serious, right? Woo, Shui’er knows she was wrong, and will never talk back to you again!”
“Knock knock knock—”
Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door…
Everyone looked towards the sound and saw the steward standing at the door with a respectful bow, calling out: “Madam!”
Shui’er asked: “Manager Yan, do you have something for the Madam?”
The steward maintained a serious expression, nodded and said: “I’ve brought this month’s account book for the Madam to review. Also, two maids want to take leave to return home and visit their families next month. I was wondering if they could be advanced one month’s salary.”
