Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 24

Since it was only some flesh wounds and with Auntie Chen's medicine, the low-ranked palace maids who were beaten recovered within a few days.

After keeping silent a few more days, each started getting restless again.

Having experienced this beating, it seemed that Qiao Lian and Xi'er had grown even more impatient and eager to leave the sweeper area.

But since they had just entered as low-ranked palace maids, the people they knew outside their circle were only the mid-ranked palace maids who were in charge of them as well as the Aunties. Auntie Chen who was in charge of the sweeper area was a grave and stern person, so they only dared to fawn upon the mid-ranked palace maids.

Within the room, Xiao Hua and Xiu Yun both remained inactive. Xiao Hua because she didn't have the desire and Xiu Yun seemingly because she was overly dense, and didn't have a grasp on these concepts.

But in Xiao Hua's opinion, there was no way someone who got the qualifications to enter this estate amongst so many other girls could be dense.

Perhaps Xiu Yun had the desires but was just better at hiding it?

Xiao Hua kept these thoughts inside her mind and didn't speak them out loud.

But soon Xiao Hua didn't have the time to think about others because her period came.

This was Xiao Hua's first period in this life. In her past life her period had started very late as well, only coming at fifteen. It actually came slightly earlier in this life.

In her past life it was a torturous session every time and she expected this life's to be no different.

Feeling chills from head to toe, her hands and feet cold as ice, all her body's sensations gathered in her lower abdomen. Her face turned pale from the pain and her legs turned weak, as though falling heavily ill.

The other three in the room had already experienced their periods before. The Jing Prince Estate's benefits were good, even handing out menstruation straps. Xiu Yun saw Xiao Hua's expression of suffering and helped her collect the strap as well as a bag of herbal powder.

The mid-ranked palace maid asked about the situation, and upon finding out it was Xiao Hua's first period she let her have a few days off, telling her to rest until it passes before getting back to work.

Since Xiao Hua was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she didn't dwell on it and simply lay back on her bed.

Finally after enduring four or five days her period was gone. Xiao Hua seemed to be resurrected, feeling comfortable all over. She didn't delay and went back to work.

All the meals for the palace maids in the estate were prepared at the meal management center.

Every day when the time came, mid-ranked palace maids from everywhere would lead a few low-ranked palace maids to carry the food back. Normally Su Yan would be the one to take people for their sweeper area, though the low-ranked palace maids would be chosen at random. Whoever she ran into would be brought along.

This counted as the only opportunity for those in the sweeper area to roam outside so those low-ranked palace maids often fell over each other to be chosen, hovering around Su Yan as mealtime approached.

Out of the four in the room, only Xi'er and Qiao Lian would normally do so. Today was a rare occasion as Xiu Yun also seemed to have something on her mind as the time approached. Xiu Yun seemed to have made a big decision before coming up to Xiao Hua and saying quietly: "Xiao Hua, could you please help me with something? I want to make a trip to the meal management center, could you come with me?"
