"Hmpf! No need! I will be the one who disciplines her and I want you to be the witness." The matriarch pointed at Liu Li who didn't dare to move and still kowtowed on the ground without the courage to raise up her face. "This is also an explanation for you why I give her a punishment."
Concubine Wan wanted to say something, but she retracted it back. She wanted to know what Liu Li did to make the old madam angry until this point.
"This concubine will listen and obey Old Madam's decision," Concubine Wan said obediently. She didn't want the matriarch to turn her anger at her, so she stood at the side and simply became a spectator. She pitied the girl, after all... she was her personal maidservant and a clever one too. However, she was just a concubine and she couldn't help her without knowing the reason.
"Liu Li... do you know your mistake?" The matriarch asked.
"This... this servant is being framed. Please give this servant justice, Old Madam!" Liu Li begged.
