Jungkook clenched his fists a little tighter. Numerous punishments flitted through his head, but none of them seemed appropriate for her. In his eyes, Lisa was simply too delicate. She was so weak that none of the punishments was suitable to be used on her.
Finally, just when everyone was starting to have difficulty breathing from the anxiety permeating the air, he stated, "Fine, then you shall stay there forever." That alone could be considered to be a kind of punishment as well. After all, it was somewhat similar to being grounded. Despite that decree, he was still seething.
He immediately mounted his horse and barked, "I will wait for the old madame outside. All of you can continue with your tasks. What are you still kneeling for?!"
His bad mood had stripped every ounce of gentleness from his manner of speech.
Lisa felt relief as the hoofbeats faded into the distance. Her relief translated into her nearly losing her balance again, but luckily, Xiao Shi was nearby to catch her. Xiao Shi felt a little vexed and complained, "Madame Lisa, what would you hope to gain by doing this?!"
"I don't know either." That was too terrifying! The male lead is the male lead alright! The atmosphere had turned frighteningly unbearable when he grew angry. It was just like in the novel. Even the female lead was afraid of him when he was angry, much less an insignificant female supporting character like her!
Luckily, the male lead did not punish her. Only after she'd heaved a sigh of relief did she realize that her back was feeling cold. It then came to her attention that her back was drenched because she'd broken out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Shi assisted her in sending off the old madame. At this moment, the old madame had also realized that Lisa had angered her son.
The old madame had no interest in the matters between a man and a woman. She'd originally thought that this lady had already conquered her son and was capable of wrapping him around her finger. But unexpectedly, he had still yet to fall blindly into the pit of love. This was a good thing. She felt more at ease now that she knew that.
As for the things the old madame needed for the journey, Lisa had already prepared everything sufficiently. She couldn't be blamed for it if any small mistakes had cropped up. The old madame was feeling weak due to her illness so she didn't think too much about those things. She just brought her people with her, setting off on her journey to warmer climes.
As soon as the old madame had left, Lisa turned around and realized that all the servants had a very different air about them compared to earlier. It seemed that she has already entered a battlefield. A very special battlefield.
She clenched her fist in secret. Since I have already accepted the mission, then I shall complete the mission to the best of my ability!
Unexpectedly, the Prince's estate was not as simple as she'd originally thought. First, the most important thing was to settle the area that the old madame was in charge of. Only after she'd been handed the authority did she realize that things were a teensy bit more troublesome than she'd assumed.
First of all, as a manager of a household, one needed a certain degree of knowledge in literature. As evidence in some invitations that arrived that had such mangled wording, she had to purposefully suppress the urge to smack the writer. The other skill that was very much in demand was mathematics.
Even a single second's distraction would leave them lost in the various accounts.
She really couldn't understand why did those madams or mistresses in novels would want to fight for the position of being in charge of a household. Was it because they didn't have an outlet for their excess brainpower? Was that the reason why they wanted to busy themselves with this troublesome task?
