Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 78

He nudged Eunuch Fu who was standing next to him with his elbow and asked quietly, "Old Fu, what's wrong with his highness today?"

Eunuch Fu hated being called old, but was helpless against this Barbarian Yan who would always poke at his sore spot without any qualms.

Was he doing it on purpose? Perhaps. But everyone knew that this barbarian was never restrained with his words.

Regarding his unrestrained speech, since even the Jing Prince never bothered with it how could others do so? Therefore, Eunuch Fu could only roll his eyes impatiently and say: "How should I know?"

Barbarian Yan put his arm around Eunuch Fu's shoulder and said with an indecent expression: "Aren't you with his highness all the time? Since you even try to eavesdrop during his nightly escapades, would there be anything you didn't know?"

Talking with crude people really vexes one's heart. Eunuch Fu impatiently shook off the arm around his shoulder, "Piss off! You're the eavesdropper." His old face was red with anger but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Oh, right. Let me ask you something." The bearish face leaned close to Eunuch Fu, his smile especially vulgar.

"What?"

"It's said that our highness's mundane heart has undergone great waves, and that there's a new favored little madam in the rear court."

This wasn't some sort of secret. Although the estate was vast, all the house militia and estate guards lived within the walls. The comings and goings had long since stirred up rumors. They just weren't clear on the details. The militia quarters were quite far from the rear court after all. This barbarian had never been decent and took delight in mischief. He also had an exuberant sense of curiosity and thus sought out the "knowledgeable one", Eunuch Fu, to make some inquiries.

After all, everyone knew the Jing Prince was clear hearted and unmoved by desires. In the eyes of this barbarian who loved flowers and was prone to lust, the prince was basically the reincarnation of an immortal. Normally he couldn't understand him to the extreme. Now that this abstinent god seemed to be changing his nature, he was naturally extremely curious.

Eunuch Fu gave him a side glance, put on a disdainful appearance and said in a righteous manner: "How can a servant speak about his master's business to outsiders?"

The barbarian whispered, "Don't try to act decent you old thing. We're two birds of a feather." He tutted a couple times, "Who was it that asked about what men liked in a woman before? How was it, did you find yourself a nice girl?"

Although Eunuch Fu was a eunuch, there were many differences between eunuchs. In the imperial palace there were eunuchs who would find someone to pair up with and study coupling. As the Jing Prince Estate's general manager, and also as the Jing Prince's trusted aide, there were naturally many palace maids who wanted to use him to climb the ranks and would throw themselves at him. The barbarian was also aware of this, which was why he would say something like that.

Eunuch Fu's expression darkened at the mention of this.

At that time when he asked about "what kind of women do men like", he had asked Barbarian Yan. This coarse fellow not only described it extremely vulgarly, he also went and told everyone. This made many of the estate's militia give him an "understanding" look whenever they saw him, and would come over to "exchange experiences". This made the old eunuch who had always been clear hearted and unmoved by desires truly restless for a while.

For the sake of his highness's intimate affairs, Eunuch Fu had not only thrown away his dignity, but also his reputation. He even got the damned reputation of an old man with a young heart, and made some of the palace maids within the estate look at him with meaningful gazes every time they saw him.
