The fat steward was intimidated but still held his ground, saying, "Madam may not know, the Sixth Madam has been managing the household for years, and even the Old Madam has praised her management skills. You say the Sixth Madam is ineffective in managing, but we servants dare not say much. The truth will speak for itself. Today's events have their reasons, so please be generous, Marchioness."
Cui Ming was so angry that she laughed.
"Your words are amusing. If you know your own incompetence can't be blamed on the Sixth Madam, then you must not regard the Marchioness in your eyes, acting on your own and obeying in appearance only."
The fat steward stammered, "We are just servants; how dare we not regard the Marchioness? Surely no one wishes to die prematurely."
He turned his head, thinking to push the driver forward for punishment to soothe Qin Yuan's anger.
