C23 The Ancient Workplace Struggle

No wonder it was called the Tai Chen Palace. The servants lived in a spacious room, and most importantly, a single room. There wasn't a single person. No, if it was a single room, there wouldn't be so many beds.

What was wrong with Lu Xue Ming? The Tai Chen Palace was so grand, yet she did not even give the staff a single room?

How stingy!

And that Sister Yan, she must have been sent down by that unscrupulous author to torture her, to actually arrange a kitchen fire girl for her. Cheng Luoluo raised her hand to look at her own hands and silently cursed, "She has such a pair of lily-white hands, in the future she will be used to guide their master."

But then again, if it hadn't been for the wicked author, she wouldn't have come up with such a stupid idea herself.

As he was thinking this, he heard the door open with a creak, and then a burst of laughter and conversation, which seemed to be directed at her and no one else.

"Hey, have you guys seen her today? That servant girl from Jing Ren Palace was assigned to the kitchen by Sister Yan to be a servant girl for the fire?" A servant girl said.

"Well, I know. I heard from one of my sisters in the kitchen that her name was Lor, and that she was pretty good looking, and I just let her get used to the kitchen today." The other maid also told everything she knew.

After that, another maid spoke with disdain, "Humph. No matter how pretty she is, no matter how she is marked, she is still a maid like us!"

"Yes, yes, she is far inferior to us now. We are all maidservants, and we do needlework."

... ""

The sounds of discussion were getting closer and closer, and Cheng Luoluo could hear them more and more clearly. She felt a burst of anger in her heart. Hadn't she already discussed this with Lu Xue Ming before she put on the book? As long as it was sweet and not malicious, why did she have to go through such a drama when she had just arrived at the male lead's side?

"Cough, cough..."

Cheng Luoluo's light cough caused their gossip and entertainment to come to an abrupt end.

"Shh, don't say anymore!"

Cheng Luoluo crossed her legs and crossed her arms. She sat on the bed with an unhappy expression, glaring at the people who had entered.

After the maids saw Cheng Luoluo, they all kept quiet and looked at her with dark eyes. They were all preparing to go to their own beds to rest.

F * ck! You want to run away after speaking ill of her behind her back? No way!

"All of you, stop right there!" Cheng Luoluo berated. Although her voice wasn't loud, it was enough to intimidate the young maids.

The maids were stunned, and then none of them moved.

Cheng Luoluo stood up and walked to them. She clapped her hands and looked at them with a serious face. She raised her eyebrows and said with disdain, "What? You want to leave after saying bad things about me? Do you really think I grew up to be a vegetarian?"

Her aura was a bit strong. One of them was actually frightened by Cheng Luo Luo's sharp gaze. She staggered and almost fell backwards.

"You, you, I, we didn't say anything bad about you!" The young maid was clearly frightened by Cheng Luo's terrifying expression, and she even began to stutter.

"No, humph! Do you all think I'm deaf?"

Cheng Luoluo took a step forward, and the young maid took a step back. She was trembling, but at this moment, another maid came over with a face full of disdain, "Little Cui, don't be fooled by her appearance."

"Zhu'er..."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cheng Luoluo began to sweat. The frightened maid turned out to be called Little Cui, and the other one was called Zhu'er.

"That's right, we were talking about you just now, so what? Look at your foxy appearance, don't think that you came to the Tai Chen Palace with any evil intentions. Hmph, I advise you not to waste your time."

When Cheng Luoluo heard this, she instantly understood. They had thought that she wanted to seduce Yuan Muchen and become a phoenix, which was why they harbored ill intentions toward her.

That's right, she had impure motives towards Yuan Muchen. So what? What could they do?

Pearl walked up to her and the two of them looked at each other with sharp eyes. Suddenly, a trace of evil flashed through Cheng Luoluo's eyes and she smiled sinisterly." Hehe! So what if I covet Yuan Muchen's beauty, his body, and everything about him? Who do you think you are?! "

Pearl was furious when she heard this. The others were also shocked by Cheng Luo Luo's shocking words.

"You really have no shame!" Pearl cursed in shame and indignation.

Don't know shame? I think the ones who don't know shame are you vain and jealous women!

Do you believe that when I get in touch with that unscrupulous author, I will make sure that you won't live to see the end and I will write you to death!

"Shame! Heh! I have never learned how to write these words since I was a kid!" Cheng Luoluo retorted.

"You..." The other party was so angry that he almost spat out blood and died on the spot.

"You, just you wait, I won't let you off, hmph!"

In this round, Pearl was directly KO'd by Cheng Luo!

The leader of the group, Zhu'er, retreated after being defeated. The other maids didn't dare to say anything else and obediently went to sleep.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning. She remembered that Auntie Yan had said yesterday that the working hours at night were Yin hours, and in the morning - three to five o'clock!

Oh no, she was late for work on her first day.

She woke up with a start, but as soon as she got out of bed, she felt dizzy. Cheng Lolo shook her heavy head, wondering why she felt so sick.

"This new girl, Lorr, has no manners at all. It's already this late, and Prince Chen has already returned from court, but she's still sleeping."

"Hmph, she deserves to faint from the smell. Who asked her to be so arrogant and despotic last night!"

... ""

At this moment, the whispers of two young maids came from outside the door. She recognized these two voices. One was Xiao Cui, who had a dispute last night, and the other was Lan.

Smooth from the smell?

Cheng Luoluo frowned as she sensed that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes, and sure enough, she saw some incense ash on the floor next to her bed. She stuck a little bit of it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

Cheng Luo Luo suddenly felt a burst of anger in her heart, "Zhu'er-" Anaesthetic smoke was such a cheap thing, but she could actually use it. She was really a shameless villain.

Peng ~ ~ ~

A strong knocking sound came from outside, "Miss Luo Er, Miss Luo Er ~ ~ ~"

The voice of a young eunuch followed. The young eunuch's voice was somewhat sharp and ear-piercing. Cheng Luoluo calmed herself down and went over to open the door.

Cheng Lolo was slightly surprised to see the young eunuch standing outside the door. She had met him the day before when she first went to the kitchen, but she hadn't had a chance to say hello, so she didn't recognize the voice.

"It's you - I saw you yesterday!" she said with certainty.

The eunuch's expression was grave. One look and he could tell that nothing good had happened.

He nodded his head. He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to introduce himself. He went straight to the point." Oh, Miss Luo'er, why are you so calm? King Chen has come back from court, yet you are still sleeping here. The kitchen is short-staffed to begin with. Because you delayed the fire in the kitchen, breakfast was almost not prepared in time."

"And then?"

"Luckily, Sister Yan went and got someone to take over your work, so you did not delay the Duke of Chen's meal. Sister Yan asked me to summon you this time!" It could be seen how anxious the eunuch was. When he spoke, his saliva splattered all over the floor. It was hard for Cheng Luoluo to hide.

"I didn't do it on purpose, it was my roommates... No, it was Zhu'er and the others who drugged me. That's why I slept so soundly!" Cheng Luoluo was calm. She explained unhurriedly while pointing at the ground.

The eunuch looked at the floor. There was indeed cigarette ash on the floor. Maybe what she said was true, but there was nothing to be reasoned with here.

The eunuch shook his head and sighed helplessly." Sigh, there's no use trying to explain it to me. I'll have to go see Grandma Yan and explain it to her myself." As for whether Yan mama would listen or not, that was unknown.

"Then, where is Senior Servant Yan now?" Cheng Luo Luo carefully asked. From the eunuch's expression, she knew that she was right. Senior Servant Yan was not a good person.

"Senior Sister Yan is waiting for you in the kitchen!" The little eunuch said anxiously.

As expected, when they reached the kitchen, they could smell an oppressive aura from far away. Grandma Yan was wandering around inside, as if she was checking something.

"What is Sister Yan doing?" Cheng Luoluo slowed down her pace, and the eunuch stopped outside. "Every day a new batch of vegetables comes in from the palace." At this point, the eunuch looked up at Cheng Lolo, who nodded." Mm, I saw him yesterday when I came here to familiarize myself with this place, but I didn't speak to him."

"She is the head of the kitchen. In the future, you will have to listen to her arrangements for whatever you want to do!"

When Cheng Luoluo heard this, she suddenly had a bad premonition. That servant girl was the kitchen steward? Last night, when Zhu'er spoke of her big sister in the kitchen, could she be referring to her?
