Why can't I get a break

Lu Yiling looked straight at Su Liya and said "Hold on sister-in-law". She smiled as she walked closer and stood a few steps away from Zhu Fengyin and Su Liya. "I think You should stay back until the end, we must keep a united front right now".

Zhu Fengyin noticed the sharp look she gave Su Liya, it was obvious that She intended to use whatever was going on to threaten Su Liya. "A maid getting punished is nothing new, I don't think my presence is necessary", Su Liya replied. She stepped aside to walk around Lu Yiling but was blocked once again.

"oh but this isn't just a normal punishment, the acts committed by the maid is a lot more serious. You are the new duchess, you must get accustomed to our rules. Don't you think so Liya?" she posed a question to Su Liya while acting innocent.
