Chapter 1192: How to Annoy Someone Frugal
Ning Shu just stood at the side. She didn’t say anything and also didn’t bother doing any boot-licking.
The pregnant Lady Song was very finicky. During lunch, she kept saying that this dish had no flavor and that dish didn’t agree with her. In summary, she didn’t like a single dish on the tables.
She made all sorts of picky remarks and told the kitchen to prepare a new table of dishes. However, she didn’t specifically say what she wanted to eat, so she was unsatisfied with the new table of dishes as well.
Ning Shu’s lips twitched as she looked on from the side. This woman was seriously too high-maintenance. Even if she was pregnant, doing this again and again would cause people to loathe her.
It wasn’t easy to give birth safely in the inner courtyard. This was the time to keep a low profile. If Lady Song was like this, every courtyard would know about her situation.
Even if she wanted to be fussy, she couldn’t do it like this.
Lady Song reluctantly ate a bit, then had the table cleared. She bestowed the rest of the food to the servants, even Ning Shu got a share.
However, Ning Shu didn’t eat it and instead, ate what a servant girl should be eating.
When it came time for dinner and Yinzhen came, she had another table of dishes prepared. When Yinzhen saw the food, he frowned, obviously a little unhappy with the table full of sumptuous dishes.
In all honesty, Yinzhen was a prince of the fourth rank that had just recently left the palace. His official’s salary wasn’t very high and he had such a large big family that he needed to support in this residence.
There was no way two people could finish this table of food. Yinzhen was a rather frugal person and even after he ascended to the throne, he was a frugal emperor.
However, Lady Song didn’t notice this at all and eagerly got food for Yinzhen. They couldn’t finish this table of food so she gave the rest to the servants again.
So Ning Shu got another plate of bestowed food. She felt really helpless as she took in the other maids’ expressions of gratitude.
Although the other maids felt honored to get this food, Ning Shu didn’t feel honored at all.
She kept working busily until Lady Song went to bed, then she headed back to her room to sleep. As she sat on the edge of the bed, she hammered her stiff legs. Her calves were completely stiff after standing for an entire day.
After spending the day sounding out the situation, she had figured out how to be a maid. In fact, she realized that she was a maid with pretty much no status. She only did rough work like cleaning the table and carrying around water.
She had no right to say a word to Lady Song.
As Ning Shu was massaging her legs, the other three maids came back. When they saw Ning Shu, they said, “Your master can sure kick up a storm. The entire residence knows that she’s pregnant now. She’s pregnant, but she’s still having the prince stay in her courtyard?”
Ning Shu could only inwardly sigh.
It was seriously tiring to stay in the inner courtyard. This place was only oh so big, but there were many people here. Furthermore, they were all fighting over the same man, the only resource.
This task was such a troll. She had to save a child who was supposed to die young? How was it possible to do that?
Lady Song had actually managed to give birth to a baby with weak health, so after a while, the child had died.
She seriously didn’t understand the meaning of this task at all!
However, since it was the intermediate examination, it probably wasn’t that simple. After all, there were also transmigrators and reincarnators in this inner courtyard. Furthermore, she didn’t even know who the transmigrators and reincarnators were.
They were all staying in the inner courtyard with their own motives, waiting for the opportunity to make their move.
