Chapter 2228: Quit
Consort Su, who was resting in the spacious room, leaned lazily on the couch. She could hear the commotion outside clearly and curled her lips into a sneer.
Fight with her? Heh!
In the past, when she was still a bandit, she had never suffered a loss. Now that she was an imperial concubine, second only to one person and above tens of thousands, losing would be unthinkable. How embarrassing would that be?
The ground was littered with broken porcelain pieces. Despite the servants’ careful efforts to clean up without making any noise, Nanny Ling was deliberately causing trouble.
Her face tense, she stared at everyone with a dark gaze. Suddenly, she stepped forward and kicked one of the maids. “Are you deaf for calling me softly? Bitches!”
The maid screamed and fell back, one hand landing on the broken porcelain pieces. The sharp shards instantly cut through her skin, and bright red blood flowed out.
She took a deep breath and quickly used a handkerchief to cover her wound.
The steward quickly went forward and helped her up. “Are you alright?”
The maid glanced at the steward and shook her head gently. The wound wasn’t big, but it still hurt and bled.
Most importantly, it was infuriating!
Nanny Ling became even more smug. She sneered and raised her eyebrows, shouting, “Who asked you to stop? Hurry up and get to work! If Her Majesty wakes up later and sees this mess, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
She pointed at the maidservant whose hand was bleeding from her kick and said with disdain, “It’s so inauspicious to see blood on your hand. It’s an eyesore. Hurry up and get out!”
All the servants gasped, dumbfounded.
Although they were all used to the occasional harshness from their masters, they had never seen anyone act like Nanny Ling.
The steward said angrily, “Don’t go too far!”
Nanny Ling sneered contemptuously. “Going too far? Heh, you’re not worthy! Our Her Majesty is so noble that it’s an honor for Huaixi to have her here! Isn’t such a small request enough? I’m the maid in charge of the palace, after all. How dare a lowly servant like you speak to me like this? I think the slap just now wasn’t enough for you to learn your lesson!”
The steward couldn’t help but sneer at Nanny Ling’s implication that she still wanted to hit her.
Caught off guard earlier, she hadn’t expected this old woman to be so rude and shameless, which was why she suffered.
If Nanny Ling wanted to hit someone again, she’d have to try!
Madam had specially reminded her not to let her own people suffer!
Seeing that the maidservant with bleeding hands had yet to leave, Nanny Ling became impatient. “Hey, hey, why are you still standing here? Get out!”
The steward held the maidservant’s wrist with one hand and said coldly, “Since you despise us for not knowing how to do things, you can clean up this mess yourself! We’ll leave now! It would be terrible if we disturbed your noble consort’s rest!”
As she spoke, she instructed everyone, “Stop, stop packing.”
Everyone was already angry and disgusted with Nanny Ling for deliberately finding fault, hitting, and scolding them. They couldn’t wait for this moment. When they heard the steward, they hurriedly agreed, dropped the broken porcelain pieces in their hands, and stood up.
“You… what do you mean? How dare you!” Nanny Ling was furious.
The steward sneered and was about to speak when she saw Lixia return with the two maidservants from before.
