Xiao Wan'er glanced at Liu Wen, her astonishment turning to displeasure. Lowering her head slightly, she said softly,
"Though I am a woman, I know one must be prudent in word and deed when away from home, so as to reflect one's family teachings and personal refinement."
"For you to speak so brazenly, Young Master Liu, is this a reflection of the Jing State Liu Family's principles?"
