DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -76

Jennie didn’t say any more. She had meant to convey that the Kim Family was indebted to this fourth madam, and she was therefore allocated a seat here. Her presence served as proof, and if they wanted to complain about it, it would be denying the Song family face.

Naturally, no one came to make trouble for Lisa after that, but their gazes were still drawn to her. Everyone, regardless of gender, loved to look at handsome men and beauties. Perhaps some women would be jealous, but some liked looking at beauties.

Lisa’s features were akin to those beauties who could topple kingdoms and cities. Especially with the otherworldly air about her, she didn’t give off the slightest hint of someone of a lower status. She just sat there serenely, not showing too much of a reaction at those stories about tearful partings and joyful reunions. It was like an old monk sitting in solemnity, giving off a dignified, sedate air, a model of someone of high status.

In actuality, Lisa was just feeling uneasy, because she didn’t know what everyone’s evaluation of these hundred vegetarian dishes would be.

Jennie still rather admired Lisa within her heart, having heard that she was from a small scholarly family. The only one who had many accomplishments in her family was her father, but while he had placed on the imperial exams, he didn’t have much actual power, not even obtaining the most minor of positions as a seventh rank official. As the eldest daughter of that family, if not for her outstanding looks, it would also have been hard for her to enter Prince Jeon Manor.

However, her demeanour here was neither arrogant nor restless, and not much inferior to those daughters from renowned families. There were many ladies within this Kim Manor, but you could not find a single one who could equal her in temperament and behaviour.

Faced with the provocative gazes of many, she remained mild and composed. Even when facing the prince and the young master, she didn’t seem to act any differently, as though her body was there but her mind had already drifted far away.

Having studied alongside the young master since youth, Jennie’s knowledge was quite exemplary, but she felt that she was still far from Lisa in terms of maturity!

As Jennie mused, the servants began serving the dishes.

Six appetizers were served first, the maids of the various madames hurriedly placing food into the bowls of their mistresses.

In this kind of event, seventeen were not only striving to one-up each other in person, but they were also trying to assert dominance through their maids.

While Xiao Shi could be considered a second-grade maid, she was still young and lacked experience. Her movements were inevitably a little panicky. As her chopstick-wielding hand trembled, food fell onto the table. Lisa did not blame her, not even thinking much of it.

She didn’t want to compete with the other madames on this; it just seemed completely pointless to her. She promptly picked up her chopsticks and placed the food into her bowl, saying to the others who had glanced over, “We shouldn’t waste it.”

Making a dish was not easy. She knew, even if others didn’t.

Xiao Shi’s face went beet red. Where could one find such a good mistress? Even though she was a concubine, it was also a kind of blessing to be able to serve her. Mentally counting her blessings, Xiao Shi redoubled her efforts.

Jennie smiled slightly, gaining a general understanding of why her young master was so enamoured with this madame. Not blindly blaming her maid who had done wrong but helping her to clear up the mess instead, this was indeed a rare and kind nature.

The dishes were taken away after being served for some time, with six new dishes being brought out. Everyone began discussing the food after tasting the first twelve dishes. While these were vegetarian dishes, they were superb in taste, indeed different from what they normally ate.
