Chapter 224: Fugitive

Shi Youxuan spoke as if chatting about family matters, "Actually, whether it's with servants or friends, it's all about treating each other well. If I treat you well, you'll treat me well; if I don't, you won't either. It's a matter of reciprocating sincerity. Madam Zhang, do you think that makes sense?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Lady Zhu is right. I should learn more from you."

She dared not say anything else, nodding repeatedly and echoing the sentiment.

And just like that, the storm had passed, and the following atmosphere was more harmonious.

After the recent event, nobody was in the mood to provoke further, and the few ladies named by Madam Zhang were still anxious, fearing retaliation from Shi Youxuan.

But when nothing happened later on, their worry turned into gratitude.

They flattered Shi Youxuan profusely while also sidelining Madam Zhang.

She didn't care about others' affairs; as long as she and her family weren't bullied, that was enough!
