"Bring her in. The rules of the Beiming Family cannot be broken..." Butler Luode was all business, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Wait a moment. This has nothing to do with her. I was the one who bumped into her and caused her to spill the water. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Don't fire her."
Gu Qingxin stood up, treating the matter with utmost seriousness. It was indeed her fault and the maid was innocently dragged into the situation. She wouldn't let anyone else bear the consequences of her own mistake.
"Miss Gu must be joking. You are the young master's woman. How dare I punish you?" Luode's tone still remained calm, but he didn't even glance at her.
His words stated that he dared not, but his attitude showed no respect...
"What are you all still doing here!"
The voice of Beiming Han came, though not loud, it dripped with an oppressive aura which made everyone involuntarily bow their heads.
"Young Master..." Butler Luode greeted him respectfully.
