The room was bustling with activity when a maid suddenly knelt down in front of everyone.
The hall instantly quieted down, with everyone either surprised or curious, looking at Hai Xing.
It was only then that Hai Xing realized she had been impulsive; she shouldn't have knelt down to seek a favor in front of so many masters.
But with things as they were, she had no choice but to speak. After all, she was asking for a blessing for a happy event, and surely the masters of the Pei Mansion would understand.
"Old Madam, this servant..."
The old lady, who had been smiling, gradually lost her smile. She raised her hand slightly and said blandly, "You don't need to say more."
Hai Xing had never seen the old lady so stern before and went pale, instinctively saying, "Old Madam..."
The old lady said, "The reward you're owed for leaving the mansion will not be less by a single cent. I also don't lack people to serve me. Take your sister with you, Yueyuan."
