DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER-57

Lisa was unaware of the thoughts running through his head, otherwise, her jaw would have bounced off the floor. How was she kind? It was true that she’d helped those servants, but that was just for appearances’ sake; to improve relations between superiors and subordinates. As a modern-day girl, even if she didn’t quite know these things, her parents would remind her!

Whether it was friends or through WeChat, both taught you how to be a person that others wouldn’t find annoying. Add that to her naturally placid disposition, it was rare that she displeased anyone. Because of that, the impression of her as a good Samaritan was only strengthened.

She’d never considered herself as a, particularly good person. Of course, she wasn’t a villain, either.

The old madame doted on her son, but now his future wife had hurt him to this extent without even stepping through the door. Who knew what could happen once she did make that first step through the door? That girl would become her son’s harbinger of bad luck! She shouldn’t have arranged this marriage for him. But now that she had, the fact remained that it wasn’t easy to reject this marriage anymore, just like her son had said! Leaving aside the emperor’s trust in Minister Chou, there’d be trouble enough just dealing with Lady Chou.

“This matter… has wronged you greatly,” The old madame thought of that shameless daughter-in-law, before glancing at the well-mannered girl beside her. This girl had recently helped her with many things.

She was intimate towards the servants and never thought of putting on airs just because she held a bit of power. She treated everyone the same way but didn’t keep any money for herself in secret as a reward for her hard work. A girl like this was truly rare. It was obvious that her son had come here because he trusted her. How could it be as simple as because her place was close by?

Though he truly was too attentive to a mere concubine, it was better than concentrating his attentions on that Miss Chou. He’d only left for a few days before coming back covered in blood! If he had to wed that star of ill fortune, it would be better to have someone by his side who could take care of him. Originally, the old madame had wanted her son to move somewhere else to rest, but when she spotted him sneaking glances at the girl demurely sitting on one side, she shook her head and spoke up. “It’s not convenient for you to stay here. Why don’t we get someone to lift you back!”

Afterwards, she paused to study his expression. Seeing that he hadn’t even budged an eyebrow, she added, “But every place here can be considered your home. It’s not easy to move you with those wounds, so recuperate here for two days first!”

The old madame pursed her lips. It’s so hard to try to get the slightest reaction out of him! Time had changed her cute and docile son into someone who acted one way and thought another. “It’s just a pity for the person who’ll have to wait on a patient like you.”

How would Bai Lisa dare voice a single complaint? Even if she did, she could only keep it buried deep in her heart. On the surface, she feigned a magnanimous air. “It’s no problem at all; it’s my duty to wait on the prince.”

Why aren’t you getting your female lead to do it? Oh, that’s right. Right now the male and female lead were at odds with each other. The novel wrote that they often disagreed, though not to the point where the male lead wanted to reject the marriage. He was always the pursuing party. No matter how much trouble his little wife caused, he still accepted everything without question. Hopefully, the story wouldn’t change to the point where she couldn’t predict things. Once it changed to that degree, she wouldn’t know how to deal with anything.
