As she counted, she said, "From now on, you don't need to be afraid of anyone in the Shen family. I'll always be there to back you up!"
Having just witnessed her young mistress's prowess, Dongyun nodded obsequiously, "This servant understands! This servant will never again embarrass the young mistress!" She would never again be so frightened as to kneel down after being yelled at.
