The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 120 - Taking the Servant Away

"Mm."

As the two of them were packing their luggage, they suddenly saw Steward Lin arrive, followed by the servants who originally belonged to their eastern wing.

There were over twenty of them, all with varying degrees of injury, but their eyes were filled with the relief of having survived a catastrophe.

Upon seeing Madam Dong, they immediately knelt down and said in unison, "Thank you, Madam, for saving our lives!"

This scene left Madam Dong and Dong Momo looking at each other in surprise.

They had just been talking about saving the servants, and now, in the blink of an eye, it had already been done?

Curious, Madam Dong turned to Steward Lin and asked, "Steward Lin, what's going on here?"

"These are the Prime Minister's orders," Steward Lin explained. "He said that if the main branch is moving out, it wouldn't be right for them to go without servants, so he showed mercy and pardoned them, sending them back to serve you."

Madam Dong felt a flicker of gratitude in her heart, but it was fleeting.

After all, Prime Minister Lin's years of neglect were one of the reasons why the main branch had been mistreated for so long.

If he, as their father, had treated them all fairly from the start, the eastern and western wings wouldn't have ended up in such a bitter situation today.

After some thought, Madam Dong spoke calmly, "Please thank my father-in-law for me. And what about Dong Momo's situation...?"

At this moment, what concerned Madam Dong most was Dong Momo. If she couldn't take Dong Momo with her, she wouldn't leave today.

Steward Lin smiled faintly and reassured her, "Madam need not worry. The Prime Minister said that Dong Momo only injured that old servant in defense of her mistress. That servant was a wicked person, so vile she even tried to harm the young master. Such a person deserved to die! The message has already been sent to the Wang family, and they've responded, saying that even if she hadn't died, she would have been beaten to death upon her return. So Dong Momo is free from trouble now and can continue to serve you in the future."

Upon hearing this, both Madam Dong and Dong Momo were deeply grateful.

Especially Dong Momo, who had thought that this ordeal would be the end of her. She had planned to return to the Prime Minister's residence and face her punishment once Madam Dong had settled.

But now...

She was actually able to leave alive!

She took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister. I am deeply grateful."

Then she turned toward Ronghe Hall and sincerely knelt down to bow several times.

After that, she stood up and took the returning servants to apply medicine to their injuries.

Steward Lin knew they wouldn't be staying much longer, so he asked out of personal interest, "Madam, have you found a suitable place to live outside? Would you like me to help look for one?"

Madam Dong understood his good intentions but politely declined.

"We have already asked my eldest brother to help look for a place. We should hear back in a few days. Right now, it's more important to deal with my son's injuries, so we'll return to my family home for a few days to ensure he gets proper treatment."

"Indeed, indeed. The medical skills of Master Dong from the second branch are well known; with him around, the third young master will surely recover and turn misfortune into fortune."
