Xiao Yanyi stopped in his tracks, looking at the Second Madam with confusion and said indifferently, "It's just a servant, why get angry and harm your health." However, the Second Madam was insistent and asked again, "How come there aren't enough hands in the Fourth Household? Does the Marquis know this?"
Seeing her speak so sarcastically, Xiao Yanyi couldn't help but feel displeased as well, exclaiming, "What nonsense are you spouting!" He waved his sleeve and said, "If you don't want to go to visit mother, just rest in your room!" As he lifted his foot to leave the room, he seemed reluctant to speak much with her.
The Second Madam watched the doorway, her eyes full of anger.
