Little Liao watched as the Duke left, then re-entered Madam Qi's main room. Seeing her mother-in-law's face looking awful, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She diligently poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"Mother, please have some tea."
Madam Qi angrily pushed it away and said, "Drink what tea? I'm already full of anger."
Little Liao's clothes were splashed with tea, and she felt a bit annoyed inside, but didn't dare show it on her face. She coaxed, "Mother, please don't be angry. If you get upset, who will worry about you if not me and Rui'er? Surely there isn't anyone else who cares for you?"
Madam Qi gave her a cold glance, sneering, "Don't bring this act to me. Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? Frankly, if it weren't for your foolishness and past actions, the Lord wouldn't have sent you and your family back to your hometown."
