Yuju looked at Lalisa in disbelief. Lalisa's attitude was too strange. She seems like a completely different person.
Yuju gritted her teeth and said, "Her highness I didn't do anything to you. Why are you doing this? I worked in the kitchen for long because I like cooking. Also, I never did anything wrong to you then why are you targeting me? Is it because I came with Consort Eunbi to this palace and you dislike her? " her voice suddenly became broken and soft.
She was trembling like she has been beaten to a pulp and her face has been messed up by crying. Anyone looking at her could feel pity at her. People outside have started to gather outside the kitchen.
Lalisa raised her eyes seeing a sudden change in her attitude. She did not say anything extreme and didn't beat her either.
But she was behaving like she has stripped her n.a.k.e.d rather than taking her position as the kitchen staff.
In the kitchen staff, Yuju was top among all maids and always leads them. She always loved her status and power and especially when all the maids roam around her like a honeybee to gain her attention and favor.
Because this way they can come into good books of Eunbi and Sandara. So taking her position as the head maid in the kitchen staff was taking her biggest achievement in her life.
Moreover, Lalisa wanted her to shift to the lotus pavilion where she will be in a lower status than the two maids sent by Jeongguk. In short, Yuju will reach from top to bottom in an instant.
Yuju can't take this so easily. She will do anything to save her position and will also show this Lalisa her position.
'She is nothing but a mere soldier's daughter who became an Empress by luck. I will show her that in this palace, her position is much lower than a maid like me.' she snickered lightly with her head hung down.
Lalisa did not understand why Yuju was behaving like this, nor Minnie. However, before Minnie could say anything, a gentle and feminine voice came from behind.
"Yuju."
Lalisa turned to look back and found Eunbi coming towards them. She was expecting to see her but she didn't think that she will come so soon.
Lalisa snickered seeing worried expressions of Eunbi. She was making expressions like she has held her family member captive. And Eunbi came to rescue them.
Lalisa could not help but smirk unbelievably. This duo of Master and servant is amazing. They both belong to the same group of people who could do acting anytime and anywhere.
'How could they be so similar? One knows to become a victim after doing wrong and here comes the hero to save the damsel from distress.' she scoffed lightly.
Eunbi hurriedly walked into the kitchen while other maids greeted her respectfully, "Greeting to Consort Eunbi." they bowed slightly to show their respect.
This made Lalisa speechless. The Empress was standing in front of them and they didn't greet her earlier while when Eunbi entered into the kitchen, they greeted her despite the situation.
She wanted to tell all these maids that the one they are greeting so respectfully, does not care about them.
They are all worshiping the wrong person.
'Lalisa, at least how much you were hated that even servants in the palace doesn't respect you?' she wondered inwardly as she let out a sigh.
Eunbi walked up to Yuju who was sitting on the ground ignoring all the greeting from the maids.
Yuju was overwhelmed with respect and love for Eunbi and looked up at her with her welled up eyes which were shining like the fresh seawater, "Miss, I..I did nothing wrong. I am being accused wrongly. Please..help me." she pleaded like Lalisa was trying to take her life.
Eunbi sat down beside Yuju's side like a caring mother and wiped her tears which warmed the hearts of other maids. They looked at Eunbi and the respect in their hearts for her has increased more.
She was the only one who is treating a mere maid like a human and does not find it disgusting while wiping her tears from her slightly messed up and dirty face.
Lalisa scoffed at seeing the worshiping expressions in those maid's eyes. More unbelievable was Eunbi's reaction because she knows that she is not like the one she is pretending to be.
This time, Lalisa felt that Eunbi truly resembles Nancy because she could do anything to get her goals and she doesn't even mind throwing herself in mud pit just to get some sympathy.
Though she was not calling Yuju a mud pit but her actions were like the one.
"Yuju, you don't need to worry. I won't let you be wronged. I bring you with me to the palace, so I will take care of you. I have promised your parents that I will take care of you, so I will do that. Even if I have to take punishment in your place." she said in a low and hoarse voice.
It seems that she was holding her tears and her voice was choking up because of it.
Lalisa was speechless again. She thought that she has experienced enough drama since she has come into this world. But the way these two were behaving was making her vomit blood due to extreme melodrama and overacting.
These two are behaving like unprivileged concubine mother whose daughter has been wronged by the cruel Empress. It seems that they are shooting some melodrama with extremely creepy dialogues which will make one feeling goosebumps.
Their drama made Lalisa's lips curling upwards in disgust. If not for her image she would have thrown up right away.
She could not believe that they could say such dramatic words.
'This Eunbi is acting like she brought Yuju to the palace after marrying her with her son. She behaves like an extremely loving mother-in-law who promised her in-laws to take care of their daughter.' Lalisa pursed her lips to control her laughter when she thought of this scenario.
