"Acting?" Liu Ya's eyes widened in astonishment.
Mrs. Li's eyes also widened in astonishment, her silence implying: you actually didn't see it coming.
The astonishment filled in Liu Ya's widened eyes clearly indicated to Mrs. Li: Yes, I didn't see it, nor did I think of it!
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes towards the sky: Speechless!
Liu Ya awkwardly cast down her gaze: Ashamed!
"Ah, you!" Mrs. Li let out a sigh full of mixed emotions, patting Liu Ya on the shoulder with heartfelt emphasis, "You are Sang Wan's accompanying maid, destined to become her left and right hand! Girl, you still have so much to learn! Just take what happened today with Qiu Ju, for instance. You shouldn't have let her bully you and then put Sang Wan in a difficult position! You should have grabbed her on the spot and taken her to the second lady!"
Startled, Liu Ya said, "But how would she willingly come with me?"
