Amidst the Golden Osmanthus Tree, Lady Bai stood high and imposing with two palace maids behind her.
While Ming Changzai and her maid Pei'er were kneeling on the ground, one in pain and unable to speak, the other too frightened to cry.
If anyone happened to pass by and saw this scene, they would likely avoid it and hurry away without meddling.
Ming Changzai took several deep breaths, aware without looking that the injury on her foot was not minor.
But now was not the time to entangle with Lady Bai, so she could only endure the pain and plead.
"Your Ladyship must be mistaken, it was my carelessness that caused me to fall and injure my foot, which delayed Your Ladyship's enjoyment of the flowers. It is my fault."
After saying this, her brows furrowed again.
Clutching her injured leg tightly, she couldn't help but let out some whimpering sounds.
Lady Bai glanced at her miserable state without a hint of sympathy.
She immediately spoke.
"Bai Zhi, Bai Ling."
"At your service."
