This was why even though Second Madam Situ thought that it was a waste of time on her part to get involved with a maid, she still stood in front of Yin Zhu trying to show the maid her place to which she belonged, lest she started getting ideas that were over her status.
Her words only caused Yin Zhu to be tickled, did this woman think that she was upset with her less-than-comfortable life? If so then Second Madam Situ was in the wrong because even if Yin Zhu did not have a rich family and did not have all the comforts that were available to the people of the Situ family, she was still more than happy with the life she had in the slums.
