Chapter 1018: Xin Family (6)
Xu Miao felt deeply wronged, and utterly misunderstood.
This matter really couldn’t be blamed on her. It was clearly Miss Xin who wanted to go out for a walk, and it was also clearly her own decision to jump into the river. How could it be pinned on her?
"You have no ground for excuses in this matter. If you want to stay here, immediately get on your knees!" Feng Yue’s voice was hoarse, carrying a mix of frustration and disappointment.
She, of course, knew her daughter was innocent in this. But in the eyes of the Xin Family, failing to keep watch properly meant it was the servant’s fault!
What’s more, Xu Miao’s primary responsibility was to take care of Xin Miao. Now that things had turned out this way, how could the Xin Family not be angry? Who knows, the hard-to-get job they finally secured might just slip away like this.
Feng Yue wasn’t concerned about the job itself, but rather the benefits and endless opportunities that came with it.
Her daughter was good-looking and at a marriageable age. Working as a servant in a grand estate like this, they didn’t expect to marry into high society, but at least a decent match should still be within reach.
When that time came, she could rely on her daughter for support instead of constantly dealing with men and surviving by flaunting her charm.
"I..." Xu Miao, at a young age where vanity and pride were important to her, was really unwilling to kneel in front of so many people. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Feng Yue.
Feng Yue didn’t care whether she was willing or not. She viciously pinched her waist, and when Xu Miao cried out in pain, she directly forced her onto her knees.
