The two made decisions about Jin Shuang's and Pin Shuang's futures with laughter and chatter, without even asking a single question. Apart from Xiaoman, it seemed no one else cared...
Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang bowed their heads, not daring to speak, yet their eyes were already brimming with tears.
Xiaoman wanted to offer comfort but felt somewhat powerless.
It wasn't until she returned to Meixiang Academy that she asked Feng Yun with distress.
"Why does the lady not want Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang anymore?"
Feng Yun looked at Xiaoman, her eyebrows arching.
"Who says I don't want them? I pity their unfortunate backgrounds and have found them a good placement. Or do you think serving by Lady Pei's side is not good enough?"
Xiaoman started.
"Of course, being by Lady Pei's side is wonderful..."
Feng Yun countered, "Then what are you worried about?"
Xiaoman was at a loss for words.
On reflection, it did seem to make sense.
But something still didn't feel right...
