"I don't know!" Mrs. Gui, seeing that they still dared to talk back, became even angrier and said sternly, "What were you doing just standing there when you saw the Master fall? Why didn't you go and help? Where are your manners? Eaten by dogs?"
The three maids were also a bit annoyed, and one of them said, "We were sweeping the floor and couldn't leave! Besides, weren't you there, mother?"
"Exactly, and we are dirty, how could we help the Master?"
Mrs. Gui, furious, pointed at Yingfang and said, "What about her! Couldn't you have helped her?"
"Enough, stop talking!" Third Madam Shi sternly silenced Mrs. Gui, also feeling extremely annoyed. They were just a few coarse maids who dared to talk back in front of her! Wasn't this a slap in her face?
However, it was as if that slap had been wasted! Who asked her to be in a position now where she was neither here nor there as a host or a guest? She really couldn't put on airs as a Master, otherwise, it would make her appear petty!
