Her fourth brother was in a towering rage, and she was not foolish enough to invite his wrath upon herself. In her eyes, Mother Liu was nothing more than a servant, someone beneath her station. No matter how long she had stayed, there was no emotional bond; if she were lost, she could simply be replaced.
