"Shut your mouth!" Hu Yuwan snapped, unable to listen any longer.
The man, still not understanding what he'd said wrong, glanced nervously at the maid beside Hu Yuwan.
However, the expression on the maid's face wasn't pleasant, either. 'Walls have ears, and this isn't our own territory. Where did this reckless fool come from? He doesn't even know how to speak! Does he think my lady is some kind of thug, leading people out to fight and kill?'
"So, you're one of Qiu Tao's men." 'Hu Yuwan mentally made a mark against Qiu Tao. Anyone who would send such an idiot to her residence to deliver a message must be an idiot himself—the kind who's more of a hindrance than a help.'
Although the young assistant kneeling on the floor didn't understand what this "Second Miss" meant, he wasn't a complete fool. He could detect the scorn and displeasure in her voice. Terrified of causing trouble for his Shopkeeper, he kept his head bowed like a wooden statue, not daring to utter a word.
