Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 179

Auntie Qi returned to her room. A low-ranked palace maid had already prepared water for her.

She freshened herself up simply and lay down.

After lying for a while, she wasn't able to fall asleep no matter how she tried. Suddenly, she heard a noise by the window. She got up and glanced over, and saw a familiar silhouette she could recognize even if it turned to ash.

It wasn't that she hated him to the bone, but rather because she was too familiar with him. She could tell who it was just by the silhouette.

She waited until the person climbed in through the window, rubbed his old waist and regained his breath, before suddenly speaking.

"What are you doing here?"

That silhouette froze, and chuckled foolishly a couple times. "I'm here to talk to you."

"Don't you know how to use the door?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't open it."

Fiend!

Auntie Qi sat up. She didn't light the lamps, and merely sat there and said: "Whatever it is you have to say, say it."

"Why don't you light the lamps? Where are they, I'll light them." This was trying to act oblivious.

"Hurry and say it, and leave once you're done. I still have to rest." An extremely impatient tone.

The silhouette felt his way over to the desk and used the moonlight to sit down.

"Er...."

"Hurry and speak."

"That, that, I hear you and that little fellow Eunuch Su have quite the affinity for each other?"

"What? What's that got to do with you?!"

That silhouette got choked up and didn't speak for a long while.

"That, Aunt Xiu, your affinity with Eunuch Su isn't real, right?"

"So what if it's real? So what if it's fake?"

"That little fellow isn't anything good. When running around outside for his majesty in the past, he didn't lack in doing those vulgar things...."

"What's it to you if he's good or bad?"

"Aren't I just concerned about you...."

"I don't need your concern!"

"Don't be angry. We've known each other for so long, I'm also just doing this for your own good...."

"For my own good? Was it for my own good that whenever someone came to my side, you would push them away?" Auntie Qi had never said these words before. It seemed the darkness gave her some strength, and allowed her to explode without restraint.

Eunuch Fu was completely frozen. He had thought she didn't know about it.

"Eunuch Fu. Just what do you want? I've gone from feeling hopeful to despair in waiting for you to make a move. You just love playing dumb all day. Since you enjoy it so much, just play dumb until the end. What are you nosing into my business for?"

"I wasn't....." A very weak voice.

"Since you weren't, you might as well leave. Eunuch Su asked his majesty for my sake, so I'll give a response tomorrow."

"Aunt Xiu—–"

There was no response.

"Aunt Xiu——" That silhouette covered his face and bent over.
