<h4>Chapter 1204: Switched Masters</h4>


    Ning Shu finally understood the true difficulty of this task. As a servant who couldn’t control her own fate, just surviving was already a huge challenge.


    The struggles between women were even more scary. There truly existed killing without even leaving traces of blood.


    Ning Shu just stood still. In any case, things have already be like this. If there really was a threat to her life, based on her martial arts, she’d definitely be able to escape.


    Lady  Nara and Lady Song smiled at each other. Lady  Nara was smiling gracefully, but the smile on Lady Song’s face was a little stiff.


    “Madame, this concubine feels that this girl is very likable. Why don’t you give her to me? I’ve been needing an extra girl to run errands.” Another woman suddenly spoke.


    Ning Shu looked towards this woman. It was Lady Niohuru. Lady Niohuru only spoke now to break the deadlock. Lady  Nara, this main wife, definitely didn’t want a concubine’s maid, but Lady Song couldn’t keep Ning Shu. One didn’t want the servant and the other was trying to forcefully gift the servant.


    “That’ll depend on what Lady Song thinks. The girl belongs to Lady Song after all,” said Lady  Nara lightly.


    Ning Shu could sense a chill in Lady  Nara’s voice as she spoke to Lady Niohuru.


    “Big Sister, are you simply being kind, or do you actually like this girl?” The delicate woman sitting next to Lady Niohuru looked towards Ning Shu with her chin propped up. “What’s your name?”


    “This servant’s called Miao Ling. This servant pays her respects.” Ning Shu curtsied towards the Young Lady Niohuru. It was said that this woman was Lady Niohuru’s younger sister. She was a sister born of a concubine. Not long after her elder sister, Lady Niohuru, had entered the residence, Young Lady Niohuru hade to join her.


    Which meant that there were currently two Lady Niohurus in the residence.


    “That’s enough. It’s just the issue of a servant. Lady Song, just allow your servant to continue serving you. She belongs to you after all. Pushing her to other people like this probably makes the girl feel horrible as well,” said Lady  Nara with a smile.


    Lady Song’s facial color worsened. She looked towards Lady Niohuru and said, “Little Sister, since you like this girl, Big Sister will just give her to you.”


    Lady Song relied on the fact that she was Yinzhen’s first woman to address all thedies that had joined the residence after her as little sister.


    Surprise shed across Lady Niohuru’s face. She obviously hadn’t expected that Lady Song was serious in giving this girl away. Lady Song had even given her away with such a firm attitude.


    Ning Shu felt pretty helpless. She nced at Lady Song. It was clear that she couldn’t return to Lady Song’s side anymore.


    A couple of casual words from Lady  Nara had been enough to make Lady Song suspect her of being a spy and refuse to let here back.


    “Then thank you, Big Sister.” Lady Niohuru had no choice but to ept Ning Shu. Her expression contained traces of helplessness.


    “Thank you, Lady.” Ning Shu curtsied towards Lady Niohuru.


    Lady Niohuru nodded towards Ning Shu.


    Ning Shu went to stand next to Lady Niohuru with her head lowered silently.


    “Congrattions, Big Sister, for finally obtaining the servant that you were so fond of.” Young Lady Niohuru who was sitting next to Lady Niohuru said this in a sweet voice.


    Lady Niohuru just smiled without saying anything.


    Ning Shu felt that she was so pitiful. Just one trip to the main courtyard and she ended up changing masters.


    She had already given up on this task. It was enough as long as she survived.


    Lady Song had given her away without saying a word, but she was a pretty cold and uncaring person in the first ce.


    Ning Shu had tried to make Lady Song trust her, but Lady Song had paid no attention to her.


    Things were a little difficult now. Even if she moved to Lady Niohuru’s courtyard, she still wouldn’t be trusted. Forget it. It was enough as long as she could stay alive in this in the courtyard.


    She didn’t want to deal with Lady Song’s matters anymore. Even if this task ended up as a failure, as long as she stayed alive, the taskpletion would be 60%.


    There was no reason for her to thicken her skin and keep worrying about Lady Song after she treated her like this. In any case, even if she did worry, Lady Song wouldn’t necessarily ept her goodwill.


    Ning Shu nced at Lady Song who looked as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She pressed her lips together in annoyance, then stopped looking at her.


    Lady  Nara smiled and said, “All right, everyone should head back now.”


    Thedies curtsied towards Lady  Nara, then left the courtyard.


    Ning Shu followed Lady Niohuru at the back of the procession with her head lowered. Lady Niohuru who was walking in front of her suddenly stopped and turned around to look towards her. “Come here.”


    Ning Shu walked over to her with her head lowered and curtsied. “Lady.”


    “Regardless of who you used to belong to, you now follow me, so naturally, you’re under my roof. As long as you are loyal, I’ll treat you well,” said Lady Niohuru to Ning Shu. As of now, her face no longer had that helpless expression from before when she had been forced to ept this servant.


    Ning Shu said, “This servant understands. This servant will definitely carry out her duties properly.”
