The maidservants huddled together, chatting animatedly. Rosé’s face was lit up with laughter, insisting on adding a short rabbit tail to Jennie’s outfit. Jisoo playfully scolded her while Irene couldn’t help but slap her shoulder in amusement. The room was filled with a warm, lively atmosphere.
Jennie, touching her fake rabbit ears, smiled with her eyes crinkling, “You’re just talking nonsense. Should I punish you?”
Rosé, having served Jennie for a long time and sharing a bond closer than that of blood sisters, wasn’t afraid of her at all. She pretended to be scared, covering her head and running around playfully, shouting, “Oh no, oh no, my hat, where are my rabbit ears!”
Jisoo and Irene burst into laughter, and even Jennie blushed.
This peculiar hobby of hers had come on suddenly, and she dared not let outsiders know, lest rumors spread that “Young Madam Manoban has a rabbit obsession and insists on having extra ears.” Such talk would be unpleasant and damage the Manoban Family’s reputation.
So they indulged in this fun in private. The maidservants around her were all good-natured and loyal. Jennie was moved by their understanding and secretly arranged rabbit-themed outfits for them.
The room was filled with laughter and playful teasing, and no one noticed Lisa standing outside the beaded curtain.
The curtain obscured the view, but Lisa lifted it to see what was happening inside, and she was stunned!
Jiao, Nini?
Long rabbit ears, a snow-white outfit, only missing a short tail, looking exactly like the rabbit spirit girl from a thousand years ago.
Lisa’s eyes moistened slightly as she felt a surge of emotion, wondering: Has Wife remembered?
Her heart was pounding when suddenly Jisoo exclaimed, “Gentleman?!”
The room quickly fell into chaos.
Rosé frantically tried to remove the rabbit fur hat from the Young Madam, but in her panic, the rabbit ears got tangled around Jennie’s neck and refused to come off. She was sweating with anxiety.
Jisoo and Irene didn’t dare to hide and dropped to their knees, ready to accept punishment.
After the chaos, an awkward silence filled the room.
Jennie’s face alternated between pale and flushed, her lower lip bitten hard. She kept her head down, not daring to look Lisa in the eye, nor did she dare to imagine what Lisa would think of her if she saw this scene.
She felt so embarrassed she wanted to cry.
Rosé quickly spoke up, “Gentleman, it was I who encouraged the Young Madam. If you must punish someone, please punish this servant maid!”
They scrambled to take the blame. Jennie, feeling a pang of guilt, slowly lifted her head to look at her ‘Husband,’ who was supposed to be out socializing. Her eyes were red, “It was my idea; it has nothing to do with them.”
