If Tan'er weren't wearing a maid's uniform, Gongsun Ziyu might have genuinely mistaken her for a young lady from some prominent household.
Gongsun Ziyu sized her up, "Which courtyard are you from? I don't recall seeing you before."
Such an attractive maid—if Gongsun Ziyu had seen her before, she wouldn't have forgotten.
Tan'er replied, "From Tingtai Pavilion."
Disdain flickered in Gongsun Ziyu's eyes. "Tingtai Pavilion? Are you the maid Gongsun Wuyou brought back?"
Tan'er responded, "That's right."
The maid standing beside Gongsun Ziyu chided, "Such insolence! Why aren't you coming over to pay respects to the Second Miss?"
Tan'er folded her arms and looked down at Gongsun Ziyu from above, "I'm not her maid!"
The maid shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
Gongsun Ziyu sneered, "My younger brother's been gone for months. I thought he might've matured a bit, but even the servants he brings back are vulgar. Where did this countryside wildling come from? Throw her out!"
