Chapter 41: Begging her part 1


Mu Zi Ling secretly gave Lin mama a thumbs up in her heart. Was Lin mama really


that scared that she’d expose her? This really was a tough job for her old bones,


doing so much work.


However, the way Lin mama had spoken was really impressive. Not only had she


conceded defeat and admitted her wrongs, she had made the Empress Dowager


seem high and mighty, as well as drag her into this mess.


The Empress Dowager also caught onto the meanings hidden in Lin mama’s words,


and was delighted that Lin mama had made her seem so high and mighty. She did


not directly blame Lin mama, instead, she looked towards Mu Zi Ling like she was


waiting for her to speak.


“That was indeed what had happened.” said Mu Zi Ling simply. She didn’t want to


give more explanations and make the situation worst.


If the Empress Dowager's servant didn’t know any manners, then it would be the


Empress Dowager who lost face. She knew that the Empress Dowager wouldn’t


lose her face just for a servant, and continue blaming her for being late.


Hearing such simple words coming out of Mu Zi Ling’s mouth, the Empress


Dowager was displeased.


However, she still looked at Lin mama seriously and said, “You are an old mama


who has served for so many years. How could you still not know the basic rules


and manners? Why are you not thanking the Qi Princess for teaching you yet?!”


Once Lin mama knew that the Empress Dowager would not be blaming her, she


was ecstatic. She suddenly kneeled down to Mu Zi Ling and said, “This servant


thanks the Princess for teaching this servant.”


So now Lin mama had dropped her threatening demeanor. She was such a sorry


creature. If she had a tail, she would probably be wagging it right now.


Mu Zi Ling let out a cold laugh. So the Empress Dowager wasn’t planning on


blaming Lin mama for her lack of manners. Did she think that just getting Lin mama


to thank her was enough?


“How could I let you thank me? Lin mama, you’ve probably been in the Royal


Palace for over than ten years. You’d naturally know much more manners than this


Princess. Lin mama, it should be you teaching this Princess.”


You want to use the Empress Dowager to bully ne? You dare bully the soft but fear


the tough? Tsk, I’ll show you that I’m a master you shouldn’t mess with.


“This old servant wouldn’t dare.” said Lin mama with a trembling heart. Mu Zi Ling’s


words made it seem like she didn’t want to end it just like this. Lin mama was so


scared that her legs were turning soft.


“Alright, you are excused,” said the Empress Dowager coldly.


Although Lin mama was a servant, she was still her servant. To watch her servant


beg Mu Zi Ling for mercy was unbearable.


“Of course, this old servant takes her leave.”


When Lin mama heard the Empress Dowager say she could leave, her nervousness


disappeared. It would seem that the Empress Dowager had already fully approved


her. Thank goodness she was clever and had spoken before the Princess.


Mu Zi Ling’s face was full of disdain. What type of master would have the same type


of servants.


If the Empress Dowager had blamed Lin mama, then she would be admitting that Lin


mama didn’t have basic manners and lose even more face.


Since the Empress Dowager was so conniving, then she would not meddle in the


business of others and cause more troubles for herself.


“Ling’er, you’ve been married for quite some time now. Are you getting used to


everything?” Once Li mama left, the Empress Dowager started talking to her in a


friendly tone again.


“Thank you for worrying about me Empress Dowager. However, the Qi King’s Manor


is my home. There’s no such thing as being used to or not used to. While at home,


you naturally accept everything with good will.”


She basically just said that the Empress Dowager had asked a stupid question and


wasted her time. She was married to the Qi King, so the Qi King’s Manor was her


home. While someone was at home, they’d obviously be comfortable and happy.


What was there even to get used to?


She was eating well, sleeping well, and living her life like a god.


When the Empress Dowager heard her, her face looked like it couldn’t hold up


anymore. However, she immediately recovered and said, “Since Ling’er is living


well, then this Dowager doesn’t need to worry about you anymore. If Yu’er ever


bullies you, then you can come to this Dowager, this Dowager would give you


justice.


Oh god! The Empress Dowager’s words almost hit her. It was as if she knew that


Long Xiao Yu would bully her, and wanted to be her backup, so she could bring


justice.


If this old Empress Dowager didn’t stab her behind her back, then she would already


be thanking Buddha!


“Empress Dowager, you overthink this. His highness treats this consort really well.


His highness is usually very busy with everyday matters, but this wife is a female,


so she can’t really help him. How could this wife still dare complain?”


“Ling’er really is fair and considerate. You make this Dowager like you even more.”


Currently, although the Empress Dowager was a bit angry, she couldn’t just explode,


so she conceded to speaking with a fake smile.


“Ling’er, your Eldest Imperial Brother has been feeling a bit unwell these days. None


of the imperial doctors could figure out what was wrong. The Imperial Mother knew


that you excel in medicine, so the Imperial Mother wanted you to go take a look at


your Eldest Imperial Brother.”


Off to the side, the Empress seemed like she couldn’t stand the Empress Dowager


talking to Mu Zi Ling, so she took action of her own.


“What happened? It was only a few days ago that he was fine. How come he’s sick


now?” said Mu Zi Ling, pretending to be worry.


She was actually laughing secretly laughing inside. The Empress Dowager had


wasted so much words, yet she still hadn’t gotten to the point. The Empress was


the frank and straightforward one, able to get to the point the moment she opened


her mouth.


Mu Zi Ling had also guessed that the Empress Dowager had wanted her to come


to the Royal Palace because of Long Xiao Li. Even if the Empress Dowager didn’t


invite her, she would’ve still come over here willingly to cure Long Xiao Li.


In Long Xiao Li continued on like this, it was impossible to guess how many more


innocent lives would be taken.


“Well…”


The Empress was getting more embarrassed as she spoke.


Although she really couldn't stand Mu Zi Ling’s fake expressions, she was still


seeking help from her, so she could only show her manners in front of her.
