Mrs. Dong and Jingfu had already reached the door when the little maid was nearly knocked over. Mrs. Dong's face darkened immediately, and without a word, she slapped the little maid's face, cursing as she spoke.
"You unruly thing, who taught you the rules that allow you to run around the mansion?"
The little maid covered her face and quickly knelt down to admit her mistake. She pleaded, "Madam, please go and see the young master. He just can't keep any food down that we gave him. The princess keeps spitting things out."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong's complexion changed, and her voice became sharp. "What happened to the young master? Wasn't he fine just a moment ago? He was only crying there. How is it that he is vomiting now? Could it be that you servants haven't taken good care of him? If anything happens to the young master, just see how I deal with you, making you pay with your lives."
