Just as Lian Hua was about to continue, Xiao Jizi reminded her, and she paused, her train of thought breaking for a moment: "Ah?"
After a brief thought, she also realized that she had misspoken.
Ah, that was close. She almost sentenced Xiao Linzi to death.
She sheepishly chuckled twice: "That, cough~ I misspoke, the death penalty can be pardoned, but the living sentence cannot be escaped, cough cough..."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. That explained it, a simple mix-up. The mistress/Little Lady wouldn't be that cruel.
Lian Hua touched her somewhat hot face, coughed twice to mask her embarrassment. Just when she was trying to display her authority, she misspoke. Gosh, that was embarrassing. Thankfully, it was just among her own people. No worries, no worries.
