Jin Rui chuckled, her phoenix eyes glancing over Mrs. Xue Si, saying, "Or what? You want me to openly and secretly vie with Jin Ling for supremacy?"
"But..." Mrs. Xue Si hesitated, then opened her mouth, "But you can't let her comfortably press you down!"
"Ha..." Jin Rui laughed, curling her lips in a mocking way, "How is she pressing me down? I'm the right-hand woman of the young lady, and even if you do your utmost in the manor, you'll only be second class in Madam's courtyard."
Mrs. Xue Si's face darkened. She raised her hand intending to strike Jin Rui across the face.
Jin Rui didn't dodge, but Mrs. Xue Si refrained at the last moment, instead pinching Jin Rui several times on her waist and hips, places not easily seen.
Jin Rui had been used to scoldings since childhood and knew that the more she evaded, the more energized her mother became.
