"Yes, she's spoiled rotten. Even Nian-mei isn't as good as her." Qi Jia-shi said with a gloomy expression. Tong-shi's behavior was so bad that it was enough for the master to treat her coldly, but the master only punished her by making her copy books and allowed her to stay by his side.
Lady Nian was also greatly favored by the master. Once, she saw the two of them strolling in the garden and wanted to join in the fun, hoping to attract the master's attention. Just as she got close, she heard Lady Nian pleading with the master, saying that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to visit.
