DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -77

Madame Kim was extremely happy today. Many visitors were inquiring where she’d found the chef, but she didn’t give them a straight answer, since the fourth madame was only a concubine. Publicizing it would only bring trouble upon the fourth madame. Moreover, she could tell that the fourth madame was a very sensible person. Therefore, Madame Kim did not want to cause any inconveniences for the fourth madame.

And so, she only described the chef as someone the monastery had invited and managed to keep the identity of the chef a secret. However, Madame  Kim had made up her mind that she would return the favour in private, at least so that the Jeon Household wouldn’t find any fault. Plus, the prince had even come to look after the fourth madame. This alone could be a clear indication of how much the prince valued her.

The female guests didn’t eat much. To their chagrin, they were full by the time half the food had been served. However, they still stayed seated to await all the dishes. If a good dish of food passed across their plates, they would still eat a few bites.

In Lisa’s opinion, these madames seemed to be eating like they were eating cat food. Almost all of them placed their chopsticks down after taking only one bite of each dish. Lisa herself was starving, but because these people wouldn’t move their chopsticks again, she had no choice but to place her chopsticks down as well. Regardless of how hungry she was, she couldn’t eat a lot. Fortunately, she did manage to sneak bites until she was half-full.

After everyone had eaten and drunk to their heart’s content, tea and cake were offered.

After taking two sips of tea, Bai He once again approached Bai Lisa with a smile, “Younger sister Lis… Madame Lisa, Old Master is asking if you are free. He wishes to meet with you alone.”

The Great Master and Old Master weren’t people who would normally converse while eating. Therefore, it was normal for them to return after they had eaten to the fullest.

Lisa grew a bit embarrassed at the surprise she’d let slip at being asked to meet the old master alone. However, Bai He quickly added, “The eldest young master and the prince are also waiting outside!”

They’re all done eating. That’s way too fast! Lisa then quickly remembered that although this was a feast, it was in the end temple cuisine. Since the wine was not permitted at these feasts, it was normal for the male guests to finish their meal quicker. Lisa nodded towards the madames sitting with her before she allowed Xiao Shi to support her out of the hall.

Jungkook frowned when he saw that she was still limping. However, since Old Master wanted to meet her, he couldn’t display a manner of superiority. After all, Old Master was an elder. So he contented himself with a word to Xiao Shi, “Support your mistress carefully.”

Jungkook just felt that he had to instruct Xiao Shi before he led the way to the Old Master. Naturally, Taehyung was accompanying them. Grandfather didn’t ask to meet Taehyung. Does he have to be so worried? Alright, I’ll admit I’m worried too.

The cadre walked together with Jungkook and Taehyung walking in front and the ladies following at the back. Because Lisa wasn’t far behind them, they could still see the shadow of her figure on the ground. She walked in a very beautiful posture, swaying like a willow. Seeing this, Taehyung smiled faintly, yet Long Heng was the one who spoke up, “Grandfather does not have a good temper. Be careful when you speak to him.”

“Grandfather is a good person.” Taehyung was afraid that Lisa would be afraid, thus, he hastily tried to comfort her.

Bai Lisa answered obediently, but no one knew if she was answering Long Heng or Taehyung. She had never been afraid before. She had some experience in how to deal with the elderly. See, she’d even managed to smooth down Old Madame’s fur.
