Chapter 2230: Not Giving In
Nanny Ling lowered her head, not daring to breathe loudly.
She knew she was to blame for this. Her arrogance had backfired.
However, she hadnât expected these people to be so bold. She also wanted to regain some face for her master. She thought that, as her masterâs business, these people were just lowly servants and meant nothing. Even if her master beat some of them to death, Ms. Qiao wouldnât turn against her master because of it.
But who knewâŠ
Nanny Ling instructed a young palace maid, âGo, get someone to come in and tidy up!â
The little palace maid timidly agreed and hurried out to call for help.
None of the servants and maidservants assigned to the inn paid attention to her. Everyone was busy and couldnât leave their tasks.
The little palace maid didnât dare to be as arrogant as Nanny Ling. Even if she did, it was useless if no one listened. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and report back.
Nanny Ling scolded her a few times, âYou canât even handle such a small matter!â She hit her twice to vent her anger but didnât dare cause further trouble. She could only instruct the palace maids and eunuchs to tidy up the room.
Qiao Xuan instructed Lixia to deliver the compensation list while they cleaned up the place.
Not compensating? That was nothing, but they wouldnât send new items over. Plus, their food quality would decrease since theyâd deduct the compensation money.
In short, either you pay the compensation yourself, or if you want to renege, weâll handle it our way.
Nanny Ling was furious and snapped, âOur Princess Consort is the Emperorâs concubine. The entire world belongs to the Emperor and the imperial family. Whatâs the big deal about smashing a few things? Do you want your madam to fuss over such trivial matters? Arenât you afraid of being laughed at?â
Lixia smiled and replied, âOur madam said we canât waste things, especially not in Huaixi Province. If youâre not convinced, you can go back. As for the world, why donât you go to the imperial palace in the capital and smash things there? Thatâs truly awe-inspiring!â
Consort Su rubbed her chest and took a deep breath. She wasnât going to argue with this bitch! She wanted to see if Ms. Qiao would still refuse to see her.
Nanny Ling was also infuriated. The Emperor was the ultimate authority, but they dared to deny it! They even concocted so many unorthodox arguments. Sooner or later, theyâd settle scores with themâŠ
After Lixia left, Nanny Lingâs scalp went numb. She didnât know how to report this to her master.
To her surprise, Consort Su didnât say anything this time. She sneered as she flipped through the compensation list.
She threw the list to the ground and sneered. âHuaixi Province is so poor. Ms. Qiao is so mean and petty. I heard sheâs the daughter of a concubine. No wonder she canât show her face in proper society! Itâs amusing how she keeps track of accounts so meticulously!â
Nanny Ling hurriedly smiled obsequiously. âOf course sheâs not as good as Your Majesty. Sheâs not even worthy of carrying Your Majestyâs shoes. Your Majesty, then thisââ
Consort Su gritted her teeth. âIsnât it just a few thousand taels of silver? Since she wants it, just give it to her! I usually give more than this to any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Itâs nothing!â
Nanny Ling heaved a sigh of relief. âYes, yes. Your Majesty, youâre so magnanimous that others canât compare to you. Iâll send someone with the silver right away.â
