DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -24

The old madame hadn’t expected her to offer all her assets. This lady was truly too honest. That was good. It meant that she probably wouldn’t have any ulterior motives.

Tzuyu’s head couldn’t be any lower than it was right then. She whispered, “No need. No need. It was purely an accident. Right, mother?!”

Madame Chou could tell this mistress was a wimp. Sadly, the price they paid to find out was quite heavy. Plus, the words of that little bitch from the prince’s household had pushed this beyond the limits of reasonableness. If she kept pushing for punishment, it would only ruin her own daughter’s name.

Therefore, she spoke up, “Forget it. Our Chou residence can afford this kind of loss. And like my daughter said, it was an accident. My daughter is so kind-hearted and tolerant… even to servants.” She waved her hand to show it was alright, but it was all an act. Little did she expect the old madame to take advantage of this situation.

The old madame smiled and said, “Madame Chou and Miss Chou are the ones who are generous and kind. If we continue talking about compensations, this will ruin the friendly atmosphere. How about it,  Lisa?”

The old madame is so evil-hearted. But that sentence is aptly spoken. I like it a lot! But she didn’t like the following line, because the old madame said,  "lisa since you committed the crime of being careless and losing etiquette on this grand occasion, go to the small Buddha hall in the courtyard and copy scriptures as a punishment. There will be no dinner for you. Come back out tomorrow!”

“Yes.” Copying the scripture wasn’t exactly a severe punishment. Therefore, the terrified Xiao Shi lifted Bai Lisa, and the two of them headed to the Buddha hall together. The sky had already begun to turn dark by now. Lisa inhaled an icy breath of air and whispered to Xiao Shi, “Go and steal a couple of snacks for us. We’ll eat it secretly at night so we don’t have to starve.”

Xiao Shi deeply stared into her mistress’ eyes, thinking, you’re going in for punishment. How can you be so sneaky?! Seeing how her mistress’ face did not reveal any signs of fear, Xiao Shi couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. Her mistress’ heart had reached new heights in boldness! So Xiao Shi returned to the house to sneak a few snacks and then sent her mistress into the Buddha hall. Since Lisa was the only one being punished, she could only wait outside.

After sitting for a while, the sky had turned completely pitch black and the air had cooled to something resembling late fall. Lisa sympathetically called out, “Xiao Shi, go and wait inside the house. You’ll hear me from there even if I call you. Go on. This is the temple. Nothing will happen here.”

Xiao Shi refused originally. However, the air became more and more chilly, so eventually she listened to her mistress and left.

Lisa was the only person in the Buddha hall. She was extremely focused as she copied scriptures. The old madame secretly sent someone to take a look, but they soon left after seeing Lisa completing her task so attentively.

Lisa eventually grew tired from copying and decided to take a small nap on the table. She’d just finished tidying up when she heard the door open. A small shadow entered, bringing with them a whiff of lovely fragrance.

“Who are you?” This person had hair, so they weren’t a monk. But the person was wearing a monk outfit and had a male hairstyle.

“Is it Mistress Lisa? It’s me, Tzuyu.” The monk with hair said softly.

Holy shit. It’s the female lead.

Lisa immediately stood up from behind the table in welcome, “Miss Chou, what are you doing here?” The female lead had personally come to see her, so she had to give her a warm welcome. Therefore, she offered the female lead a seat and completely disregarded her odd style of clothing.
