Chapter 996: Hua Xian’s Encounter
Hua Xian’s fingers tightened, carrying a trace of anxiety.
In truth, after leaving her previous master’s household, she should have buried the past and never brought it up again. Speaking ill of the former master might easily make her current masters displeased, seeing her as someone who stirs trouble and sows discord.
So, when the old lady noticed the scars on her body earlier, Hua Xian instinctively denied them.
Though the old lady didn’t probe further, she later gave her two boxes of scar removal cream, claiming it was very effective. The third Miss had used that cream before to remove the scars on her face.
Compared to Old Mrs. Fan, her current masters were truly kind. Especially the old lady she now spent time with daily, who despite her sharp tongue, had a soft heart. Even though Hua Xian was merely a servant, the old lady cared for her deeply.
Hua Xian cherished and adored her current peaceful and warm life, wanting nothing more than to serve the old lady with all her heart.
Yet, she never expected Old Mrs. Fan to move in with the Young Madam. Hua Xian knew that when the second Miss purchased her, it was largely due to the Young Madam’s kind words on her behalf.
Hua Xian felt grateful to her and didn’t want the Young Madam to suffer losses while dealing with her sweet-talking yet bitter-hearted grandmother. Moreover, from the conversation earlier, it seemed as though the second Miss was persuading the Young Madam to bring the old lady over.
If Hua Xian’s silence led to the Young Madam’s life spiraling into chaos or caused a rift with the second Miss, Hua Xian would regret it for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Hua Xian took a deep breath. At last, she spoke up. "Second Miss, Old Mrs. Fan is not an easy person to deal with."
"Not easy to deal with" was already putting it politely.
