Ye Shixian smiled and glanced at Hongtao.
"Very well. You're reliable, so I can rest easy."
Although she disliked having someone by her side, monitoring her every move, Shaoyao was someone who absolutely could not be kept.
Weighing her options, Ye Shixian knew exactly what she had to do.
Hongtao was also very pleased with this decision.
"Rest assured, Young Miss. I understand."
She hadn't wanted to come at first. After all, she was a head maid of some standing in the Murong Mansion. What did it mean to be sent off to serve a disgraced young lady for no reason?
'A phoenix in distress is worth less than a chicken,' Hongtao thought, looking down on Ye Shixian in her heart.
'Her father exiled, her younger brother dead from illness, and even her own mother hung herself. Who wouldn't call her a jinx?'
