Qin Yuan looked at Sixth Lady Gu and asked, "Is Bai Que highly regarded by Lady Zhao?"
Sixth Lady Gu was at a loss for words.
To say she is valued, she is merely a second-class maid; to say she isn't, would imply Lady Zhao is not valued?
Yet, a maid valued by the Old Madam committed such a foolish act; doesn't this imply the Old Madam's judgment is flawed?
Even the astute Sixth Lady Gu found herself stumped, furrowing her brows, unsure of where to start.
Qin Yuan continued, "Perhaps it's better to inform the Marquis and see if he thinks it matters. I'm genuinely uncertain."
The housekeeper mothers exchanged meaningful glances.
Were it not for Qin Yuan's presence, they might have started gossiping.
Hong Ye said, "I'll be back shortly."
Qin Yuan nodded.
Hong Ye exited the hall and went to the side room.
Sixth Lady Gu then said guiltily, "It turns out I've spoken too much, and my third brother and sister-in-law were unaware."
Who would believe that?
