A single sentence stirred up a hornet's nest, and the few matrons in the kitchen and stove started shouting and pointing fingers, saying she's just a maid, hasn't even earned the title of a concubine, just like the rest of them, all are just servants, yet she's putting on airs! Shouldn't she take a look at whether she deserves it?
They also mentioned that this year's snow is heavy, these rare goods are hard to come by, and it's fortunate to have any at all. Even the masters above eat whatever is available, yet here she is, a maid who hasn't seen the legitimate path, wanting this and that, acting like a master.
Daily, her portion of fat chicken and duck isn't enough, why make such a scene for whom to see? What is her background, has she no sense of her place? Just a poor family's maid, sold into servitude by her parents because she couldn't be fed, a lowborn brat, and after just a few days in the master's bed, she's become complacent, forgetting her own worth?
