Chapter 33 -33: No Future in Following Her

Chu Nanli regained her composure and saw a somewhat familiar face.

The maidservant caught sight of Chu Nanli, immediately became shocked and quickly knelt down, “This servant has seen the Princess Consort, I accidentally bumped into you, please punish me.”

Chu Nanli was stunned for a moment, she took a closer look at the maidservant, saw her head bowed down, her body trembling slightly, and she seemed to still be holding a rag in her hand.

Seeing this, Chu Nanli looked towards the inner chamber with her gaze.

She now resided in the western side room of the courtyard; previously, a fire broke out in the courtyard, severely damaging the eastern side room and making it unfit for habitation, so she moved over here.

However, due to the impact of the fire, a lot of dust had drifted into the western room. Now, the few pieces of furniture in the room were clean, with no trace of dust in sight.

Chu Nanli came to understand and lowered her eyes to look at the maidservant, asking, “Were you just cleaning the room?”

“Yes,” the maidservant replied in a very soft voice, seeming still worried about being punished.

Chu Nanli felt somewhat complicated inside.

The servants of War God Residence had a strange attitude towards her.

On one hand, they scolded her as a poisonous woman, firmly believing she was narrow-minded, jealous, and vicious. Yet at the same time, they also thought she was fallible and could easily be bullied since she was out of favor.

But this maidservant before her was an exception, after all, she looked genuinely afraid of her.

“Stand up,” Chu Nanli said.

“Yes,” the maidservant stood up, still bowing her head.

“Lift your head.”

As told, the maidservant lifted her head, revealing a round apple-like face that still held some babyish features, probably around fourteen or fifteen, younger than her.

Chu Nanli suddenly remembered.

It was her. When she had just returned from outside before, there was not a single person working in the courtyard, only a shadowy figure sweeping on the corridor of the eastern side room, showing only a side profile, and she happened to glance at it.

“What’s your name?”

Chu Nanli’s tone softened a bit.

“This servant’s name is Yanyan.”

Chu Nanli nodded, “You’ve worked hard, you may go now.”

“Yes.”

Yanyan responded, bowed her head, and walked briskly downstairs, her rapid heartbeat gradually calming down.

The Princess Consort was clearly a very kind person and also very beautiful; she thought the Princess Consort was much prettier than the Concubine. Why did they all say the Princess Consort was an unsightly shrew?

Yanyan felt somewhat indignant inside. After leaving the room, she saw the others gathered together but didn’t go over, opting instead to wash the rag by the well.

The others whispered and muttered to each other.

“You see that fool, pretending to be diligent.”

“Trying to please this one, of course.”

“Hahaha, isn’t that a laughing stock? With her brains, not knowing how to read the room, what future could she possibly have by following this one?”

Derisive remarks reached Yanyan’s ears; she wanted to argue with them, but they were many and strong, and she didn’t dare. After defending the Princess Consort a few times before, her bedding had been doused with water.

It was at this moment that Chu Nanli walked out.

The laughter in the courtyard abruptly ceased, the servants looking at each other, none of them moving or even pretending to continue their chores.

“Let’s go.”

Someone’s eyes shifted, wanting to further test Chu Nanli’s limits, and boldly pushed the person next to them, leading the way to leave.

As one person took the lead, the others lost their inhibitions, and they all made their way towards the Servant Quarters in pairs and threes.

“Stop,” Chu Nanli coldly called out.

The group of servants stopped in their tracks, then proceeded without a care.

Chu Nanli’s lips curled into a cold smile, and a silver needle flew from her hand.

“Ahh!”

A scream followed by a “thud” sound.

The others started in alarm and looked around in confusion.

They saw the leading servant clutching his leg lying on the ground wailing, a silver needle embedded in his kneecap.

Someone immediately tried to remove it, but as soon as they touched the needle, the person screamed again, and no one else dared to act.

Yanyan stood by the well, stunned by the scene, and then her gaze shifted to Chu Nanli.

So… so formidable, she had just seen the Princess Consort making a slight hand gesture.

The others also came to their senses, turning around and looking towards Chu Nanli with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

“Not leaving anymore?”

Chu Nanli asked calmly.

Now, the servants’ suspicions were confirmed, their expressions filled with both shock and panic, with no shortage of resentment.

“Oh, sister, what’s going on here? Why is it a bit scary?”

Just then, a surprised shout came from outside the gate.
