Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

She was so angry she felt her lungs were about to explode, and went to the steward to reason!

The steward said that these were the rules set by the Prince, and extravagance was not allowed in the Mansion.

When the steward said this, Gu Lingqiao was not convinced! She said, "You’re fooling no one. At noon, I saw the Princess Consort have dozens of dishes, why do I only get one meat, one vegetable, and one soup?"

The steward sized her up and down and said with disdain, "You know she is the Princess Consort, the mistress of the Mansion, we servants have no say over how many dishes she eats."

Gu Lingqiao: "Isn’t this blatantly allowing the officials to set fires while forbidding commoners to light lamps?"

The steward, distracted, replied, "This servant doesn’t know, if Miss has any opinions, go and talk to the Prince!"

Gu Lingqiao expressed her outrage, threatening, "You despicable servant, you’d better change the dishes for me, otherwise when the Prince returns, you’ll be in serious trouble."

Gu Lingqiao relied on being childhood friends with the Prince and acted recklessly in the Mansion, the steward had long been displeased with her.

The steward remained unmoved and said, "These are the Mansion’s rules, set personally by the Prince, this servant merely executes them. If Miss is dissatisfied, she can bring it up with the Prince."

Gu Lingqiao was so angry her nose was crooked. No matter how she argued, the steward, like a blockhead, wouldn’t give in.

The Old Maid was a middle-aged woman, broad-minded and knowledgeable. Seeing Miss at a standstill with the steward, she knew this could not benefit Miss.

"Miss, let it go. The steward can’t make the decision. Wait for the Prince to return and communicate with him properly." The Old Maid leaned close to Gu Lingqiao’s ear and whispered.

"Let go of what? I haven’t eaten all day, I’m starving. It’s duck head every day, and I feel I’m turning into a duck head." Gu Lingqiao felt extremely aggrieved. She was a daughter of privilege, always adored by everyone, how could she suffer such grievance?

The Old Maid was afraid the steward would hear, so she lowered her voice as much as possible, but with Miss’s temper, she couldn’t control herself and shouted at the top of her lungs.

The servants of the War Prince’s Mansion are truly rebelling; after all, she is Brother Rui’s childhood friend. Dare to mistreat her? They must be tired of living. When Brother Rui returns, he will surely punish these despicable servants harshly.

Gu Lingqiao naïvely believed that Long Rui’s rules didn’t apply to her.

Since she entered the Mansion, from Long Rui’s meticulous care for her, it could be seen that Long Rui treated her, his childhood friend, specially.

It was only a matter of time before she toppled the Princess Consort.

Old Maid: "Miss, just bear with it for now, have some greens to make do. Wait until the Prince returns, then settle the accounts with these evil servants. At that time, Miss will have the Prince backing her up, you can deal with them however you want, why lower yourself to argue with them now?"

The Old Maid kept her voice extremely low, thinking that only Miss heard her words.

Little did she know, standing right by her side was a little girl with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, hands propped under her chin, looking at her with a smile.

She just felt that the room temperature suddenly dropped.

Gu Lingqiao then thought it over and realized, even if she made a big fuss here, the steward wouldn’t be willing to change the dishes for her. Gradually calming down, she looked at the steward with disgust and said, "Get out of my sight."

The steward couldn’t have wished for more. Upon hearing her, he immediately turned and walked out, not staying for a moment, his speed was incredible.

The Old Maid watched his back and thought, is her Miss really that scary? Just a bit spoiled, that’s all.
