嚇親你大小姐話啦下話。= I say it has given you, sister, a scare, right?

in this context 大小姐 is a sarcastic use of honorifics (your ladyship; my lady) A servant would address the daughters of the master as 小姐 (ladies); and 大小姐 is the highest ranked lady.

嚇親你( scared you)大小姐(your ladyship) 噉話啦( you're saying / that meant)下話(right?)
You're saying it scared you, my lady, right?

** 下話 is a contraction of 係咪呀?which in turn, is a contraction of 係唔係呀 ( is it?)
