Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 31

Qiao Lian's words didn't just anger Xi'er to the point where she turned around and went back to her own bed. Even Mei'er's expression had turned ugly.

The room was incredibly silent for a long while before Xi'er angrily grumbled, "Dog who bites the hand that feeds."

Xiao Hua didn't speak, going over to her bed and carefully undressing before lying down.

The scary silence in the room was broken only by the occasional sob. After this round of arguments, the room was imperceptibly filled with an air of depression, making one feel uncomfortable.

Originally planning to fetch some water to wash up before sleeping, Xiao Hua didn't feel like moving anymore and lay on her bed, feeling an indescribable weariness in her heart.

Xiu Yun who was similarly quiet was gripping her hand tightly. She finally understood her sister's meaning, and finally understood the result of not being steady.

Although everyone in the room was silent, they were each absorbed in their own thoughts.

Afterwards, due to Eunuch Fu's frustration, he gathered the remaining four people and knocked them down a peg or two.

Only then did Xiao Hua realize that the always smiling Eunuch Fu actually had such a side to him.

His face was still the same face, but his expression and tone was a little frightening. Actually he didn't scold them, only warning them to work properly without making mistakes.

Yet they couldn't help but feel frightened.

Of course after knocking them down he still gave them something to soften the blow. That something was another set of clothing.

This time it was a delicate piece: a pink short coat with a pale greenish blue skirt. The material was very good, and the measurements fit their bodies precisely. It was unknown how Eunuch Fu magically knew the low-ranked palace maids' measurements.

The implied meaning was to tell everyone that working properly without making mistakes will bring many rewards. Of course, the rewards would be even better if they could take it a step further.

While the last part was interpreted according to their own desires, it actually wasn't that far from the truth. Xiao Hua could also tell that Eunuch Fu's intentions were the same.

Within the room of six, four people received the clothes. The other two could only watch in vain. After Xiao Xia Zi brought the things over, the room's atmosphere became frozen.

Xiao Hua held the clothes in hand, not knowing if Eunuch Fu was unaware or if it was intentional.

Wasn't this just causing conflict? There was already enough conflict as it was!

"Looks like those serving inside the hall are different from us who are outside. Even the benefits are different." Zhi'er's tone was extremely sour, and after speaking she sidled up to Xi'er, "Little sis Xi'er, after you ascend to the sky in the future, don't forget to lend this big sis a few helping hands."

Xi'er originally had a face full of smiles and was very excited in her heart, but after being stabbed by Zhi'er's words, she immediately withdrew her smile. Her relationship with Zhi'er had been pretty good in the past so she was bound to have a few misgivings, making it inconvenient to lose her temper. She could only lower her head and say: "Big sis Zhi'er, you shouldn't say it like that. What does that have to do with anything?"

Qiao Lian sneered at the side, "Fake!"

Xi'er glared a little, endured a little and didn't retort.

"Eunuch Fu's meaning is already extremely clear. Those who can seize the target will get extraordinary treatment. Stop pretending like you all didn't understand. You clearly want it so badly in your hearts, it's disgusting how you are all acting clueless."
