Chapter 1203: Passing on the Hot Potato
How did the subject end up shifting to her? Ning Shu hastily curtsied and said in a fearful tone, “Many thanks, Madame, for your praise. This servant doesn’t deserve it.”
Lady Song glared at Ning Shu, then said to Lady Ula Nara, “She’s just a careless little servant. How could she accept such praise from you, Madame?”
Lady Ula Nara stroked the sheep-fat white jade bracelet on her wrist, then said with a smile, “I think this girl is quite good. She always comes to pay respects on time every day.”
Ning Shu hastily said, “It was the lady that ordered this servant to do these things. This servant was simply carrying out the lady’s instructions.”
Fudge, it can’t be that she was about to become a chicken, that they were planning to slaughter the chicken as a warning to the monkey?
“See? I really like people who know how to advance and retreat,” said Lady Ula Nara with a smile.
Lady Song’s facial color had gotten a little bad. Her gaze wasn’t very friendly as she looked at Ning Shu and there was suspicion in her eyes.
Ning Shu：…
What was with this situation now? Did she do anything that overstepped her bounds and made Lady Ula Nara notice her? Or was she just trying to warn Lady Song?
Lady Song forced a smile and said, “Since Madame likes this girl so much, I’ll give this girl to you? Just take it as this concubine’s show of good will. Allow this girl to stay at your side and serve you.”
Ning Shu was stunned and looked towards Lady Song. She was trying to throw her to Lady Ula Nara?
“Lady…” cried Ning Shu towards Lady Song.
Lady Song frowned as she glanced at Ning Shu, then she said to Lady Ula Nara, “Allow this girl to serve you, Madame.”
Lady Ula Nara said with a smile, “Although I like this girl, I can’t very well steal her from your side. Furthermore, it’s reassuring to have such an earnest girl stay by your side to take care of you.”
When Lady Song heard what Lady Ula Nara said, she glanced at Ning Shu again. Now she really didn’t want to keep Ning Shu by her side. She took the perfume sachet off her waist and passed it to Hong Mei who was standing behind her.
Ning Shu had given this sachet to her earlier. The fact that she was taking the sachet off now showed that she no longer trusted Ning Shu.
“Please, Madame, just accept this maid.” Lady Song said with a smile, “Just take it as this concubine’s thanks for all your care.”
Ning Shu: …
She really didn’t know what to say?
The people in the room looked unconcerned with this matter. No one stepped out to say a word for Ning Shu. Everyone could see that Ning Shu had been abandoned by Lady Song, her master.
And Lady Ula Nara was using Ning Shu to attack Lady Song.
After all that work, she was still a domestic conflict cannon fodder. She had become cannon fodder in this conflict between the bigger figures.
