Chapter 276 Greed



She was drunk and asked a passing maid to go to the kitchen and cook two bowls of egg custard for her, as the lady wanted to eat it.

The little maid knew that Nanny Li was the servant that Rong Shi trusted the most. Although she knew that what Nanny Li said must be a lie, as long as Rong Shi trusted and indulged her, she had no choice but to obey her orders even if they were lies.

Rong's belly was getting bigger and bigger. As soon as Nanny Li came into the room, she immediately frowned.

"You don't have to come to keep watch tonight. Just ask the little maid to come and keep watch." Rong showed disdain.

But Nanny Li refused. Except for the main room which had a floor heating, other places were windy and cold, and it was not as comfortable as here.

"Madam, you can't burn your bridges after crossing them. I am loyal to you. Do you want to abandon me just like that?" Nanny Li poured herself a cup of jasmine tea. This tea was originally supposed to be for Rong.

But she didn't care and ate happily without even pouring water for Rong.

"You are threatening me." Rong's eyes suddenly widened.

Rong was extremely disgusted, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only swallow her anger.

"The baby is still in your belly, why did you buy so much now?" Rong was a little worried in her heart, afraid that General Lin would find out about this, and she was just guilty.

He even hugged the aging Rong, and his face, which already showed traces of time, was radiant: "Look, look, how cute this little thing is."

Li Ma Ma snorted and laughed: "Madam, my good Madam. Why would I threaten you? If you are good and become a royal lady, I will be happy for you. However, I have done a lot for you, shouldn't you give me some reward? I spend a little money from you, are you so fussy? Madam, if you achieve great things, you don't care about small things."

General Lin talked a lot, but Rong became more and more afraid.

General Lin was very excited to have a son in his old age. He even bought a lot of toys for the child, such as a wooden horse, a wave drum, and small colored balls piled all over the bed.

"Well, you actually dare to show off in front of me, don't you?" Rong said angrily.

But General Lin had no idea, and said excitedly: "Just now I saw a child on the road playing with something in his hands. His little face and big eyes were so cute. I thought that the baby in your belly would be just as cute, so I couldn't help but bring some back. When the time comes, I will give him a big horse to ride and take him to play ball together..."

General Lin thought it made sense, and Rong was pregnant and couldn't serve him. He hired a new maid in the study, and was quite happy.

Rong was immediately happy.

Nanny Li was holding something against her, so she didn't dare to do anything to Nanny Li. She even had to treat her well, for fear that Nanny Li would reveal the matter.

Seeing General Lin and Rong happily together, his anger grew even stronger. He brought over a cup of tea, but his eyes kept looking at General Lin.

As for Rong? She was just an old woman, and now that she was pregnant, her appearance became even uglier. How could she compare with me?

If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone to the temple with her. What's this about praying for a child? That's all fake! What's this about being extremely effective? It's simply that the woman committed adultery with the monk and gave birth to a wild child for her husband. If this matter was exposed, not only would she lose face and bring shame to her family, but she might even lose her life.

The girl's delicate body seemed to carry some unique temptation.

It was precisely because of this that Rong became more and more disgusted with her.

The maid didn't expect General Lin to be so ruthless and ungrateful. He didn't seem to recognize who she was, so she quickly begged for mercy: "General... Master, please let me go. I didn't mean it. I was just too tired last night and felt a little uncomfortable..."

The maid was completely unaware and only wanted to seduce General Lin. Anyway, Rong Shi couldn't serve anyone recently, and it was impossible for General Lin to be alone. This was a great opportunity for her. If she could make General Lin happy for a while and make her a concubine, then she would have made a name for herself.

Rong turned her head away, not wanting to see Li Ma's ugly face again, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

Rong was so angry that she kicked the maid: "How dare you flirt with me while I'm still alive? You really don't take me seriously!"

And Nanny Li was even more greedy. Not only would she take away her jewelry when she liked it, but she would also ask her for the food prepared by the servants if she liked it. She would even snatch the food from her.

General Lin saw this and said quickly, "Come here, take this blind maid away and sell her off. She even dared to disobey the Madam's orders. Sell her to the cheapest brothel."

Rong was angry and blurted out, "Two taels of silver is not enough? Whose servants can afford so much monthly allowance? Even the ladies of other families only get ten taels of silver a month! How much more do you want? I warn you, don't be greedy."

Rong glared at him.

General Lin was momentarily caught up in his own beautiful expectations for his child, which only made the little maid's flirtatious glance go in vain.

Nanny Li was immediately upset: "What do you mean by that, Madam? What do you mean by greedy? Whether it was the matter of Aunt Yun or the matter of the child in your belly, I have always been loyal to you and have made such great contributions. Do you want to kick me away? I have done so many things for you, can't I enjoy myself a little bit now?"

"Madam, I heard that the master is back and is very fond of you. If you return to the general's mansion in the future, you have to increase my monthly allowance. Two taels of silver is simply not enough." Nanny Li said carelessly. There was no respect for Rong in her tone, but instead a bit of arrogance.

The little maidservant was in pain all over from sleeping, and she had to get up and serve others. She was feeling very angry.

Nanny Li warned earnestly, "General, the baby in this woman's belly is of utmost importance. You are a grown man and your movements are rough. If you accidentally bump into something, it will be bad."

General Lin only noticed it then, and quickly comforted Rong, who was panting with a heavy belly: "It's just a cat or a dog. If you don't like it, just have someone drag her out. Why bother with them? It won't be worth it if it disturbs the baby in your belly."

Although he slept with someone, he did not give her any status.

When Yunniang was still alive, General Lin didn't treat himself like this.

This baby in my belly is really a lucky star.

Rong touched her belly with love and hate, but she had to admit that this child was extremely important to her.

However, as soon as General Lin left, Nanny Li came out with a fake smile and said, "Madam, this is the preserved plums that the general bought for you, right? I have never eaten them in my life. Please give me some to try."

Rong gritted her teeth and could only share half of the sour plum preserves that she also liked to eat with Li Ma.
