Chapter 1296: Life-Saving Benefactor
But in her urgency, she rushed out without even putting on her coat.
The maids and old maids in the courtyard saw this, and hurriedly grabbed a mink coat and rushed out after her: "Old Madam, Old Madam, wait, you haven’t put on your coat yet!"
Auntie Li glanced at the still steaming bird’s nest on the table and couldn’t help but mutter, "The Old Madam forgot to drink the bird’s nest again, alas, because of the Little Young Master’s affairs, she’s really been through a lot these past few days."
The other maids in the courtyard couldn’t help but chide her, "Auntie Li, you too, talking about this without waiting for the Old Madam to drink the bird’s nest first. The Old Madam hasn’t eaten for days, and it’s so cold, she just rushed out like that. What if something happens?"
Auntie Li felt a bit guilty as well, "Yes, my mind, what was I thinking, my mouth is really loose."
After saying that, she even reached out and gave herself a few hard slaps on the mouth, saying, "See if you dare to babble in front of the Old Madam again in the future!"
One of the maids said, "The plan is not wrong, it’s just that the Old Madam should have eaten first."
The other maids nodded continuously, saying, "Yes, yes, actually, Auntie, you’re right. If the Little Young Master’s situation is resolved, you will be a hero, and by then, not just the kitchen steward, even the steward of the General’s Mansion might be possible."
Upon hearing this, Auntie Li, who was in the midst of slapping herself, couldn’t help but smile with joy, and her actions stopped, "Really?"
"Of course, the Little Young Master is the Old Madam’s precious. If he survives this calamity, the Old Madam won’t be the only one who values you; even the Little Young Master would treat you as a lifesaver."
Auntie Li grinned widely, as if seeing her boundless future.
Study room, at the door.
The Old Madam wanted to rush into the study room but was blocked by the guards outside the door: "Old Madam, please return. The General has instructed that for these few days, apart from people from the Ministerial Mansion, no one else is to be seen."
