Xiqiu was taken aback.
Nanny Fang, the dowry maid of the First Lady, had stayed behind to serve her rather than getting married. She was a respected servant in the mansion, from the First Master down to young masters and misses like her. Xiqiu had rarely seen anyone whom Nanny Fang knelt to, as even she had more prestige than their half-mistresses. The servants preferred to associate with her rather than contact them.
Yet now, she knelt before Xiqiu.
Xiqiu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Madam Jiang was also shocked. Nanny Fang stood in for the First Lady, so her kneeling was equivalent to the First Lady herself kneeling.
She glanced at the First Lady, who was glaring forcefully, her eyes filled with unwillingness and frustration.
