Miss Wufu had never known a woman could shed so many tears. It had been an entire Shichen, and she had already changed several handkerchiefs, yet Jin Lan was still crying.
"Stop crying!" Miss Wufu finally could not endure it and shouted loudly.
Jin Lan was startled, lifting her head to look at her blankly. Her crying was interrupted and turned into hiccups, trembling with each hiccup: "Hic."
Miss Wufu turned to her maid, Qi Huang, and said, "Have you not given your mistress some water to drink?"
Qi Huang hurriedly wiped away her tears and brought tea for Jin Lan to drink.
Jin Lan slowly regained her composure and looked at Wufu timidly, her eyes swollen like peaches.
"Purple Jade, fetch some water for Miss Jin to wash her face."
"Yes."
Only then did Jin Lan realize that, although she had two maids by her side just like Wufu, Wufu herself was completely calm, without a trace of panic, and her maids were the same.
"I'm sorry," she said to Wufu in apology.
