Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 109

"Madam, this pregnancy is looking good. Luckily the fetus is towards the back, otherwise the stomach will be even larger."

Matron Xu's skill at feeling the fetus was quite good. Every few days she would feel if it was in the correct position.

After coming to the Jing Prince Estate for a few days, she had pretty much figured out the situation. She knew that although Madam Hua's status wasn't high, she was the most important person within the estate. Most commoners would think that the consort and his highness was the married couple, but this Madam Hua and the Jing Prince was actually more like the married couple.

Matron Xu often mingled with rich households, and naturally understood what was good for her. Therefore, whenever she had the chance to appear in front of Xiao Hua these days, she would do her best to curry favor. Matron Xu felt that the limits on how often she could see the madam was imposed by that old women surnamed He. She must be jealous, trying to push her aside after seeing her skills.

She didn't realize that "outsiders" had always been strictly regulated within the Jing Prince estate. There was no need for Eunuch Fu to specially give the orders for the subordinates to act this way. However, Eunuch Fu had still given the orders anyway. After all, it was better to be cautious since this was an important affair.

Xiao Hua could naturally see that Matron Xu was trying to curry favor. This old woman was born with a round face. She was tall and was always smiling as she spoke. Her words were straightforward and clear, and she was dressed very neatly. Overall, she was quite likeable.

"Matron Xu is really skilled. You're able to tell after feeling a couple of times." Xiao Hua had Ding Xiang help her get dressed while she spoke to Matron Xu.

"Thank you for madam's compliment. This woman relies on this to put food on the table. If I didn't have this skill I can't support myself."

Ding Xiang saw Matron Xu's barely concealed pride and spoke with a slight smile: "Then we'll be relying on Matron Xu during our madam's birth. If things go well, our highness will naturally bestow rewards."

"That's a given."

Ding Lan escorted Matron Xu out. Ding Xiang supported Xiao Hua to sit on the kiln and said: "This Matron Xu is an interesting one. She feels that not being able to appear in front of madam often is due to Nana He making things difficult for her."

"But she's also a refreshing person, and doesn't make others hate her. It's inevitable she has some little thoughts. Have Ding Lan find someone to give her a hint, don't let her continue thinking this way. Our Nana He doesn't need to make things difficult for her in front of me." Saying this, Xiao Hua couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes."

Xiao Xia Zi came in and reported that his highness had returned.

Xiao Hua was overjoyed at the unexpected news. She urged Ding Xiang to help her tidy up her hair and put on her shoes.

Before she got off the kiln, the Jing Prince had already come in.

The ten days she hadn't seen him seemed like a lifetime. Especially since she had gotten used to sharing a bed with him. She already had trouble sleeping, and with him gone it had gotten worse. Xiao Hua had really missed him a lot these past few days.

Seeing him return, seeing that familiar apathetic face and gaze, Xiao Hua's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Highness..."

"Keep sitting."

After the Jing Prince spoke, he went to take a bath and change. When he reappeared, he was wearing a cyan indoor outfit, his waist-length long hair was draped behind him and still dripping with water. His ink black brows seemed painted on, and his gaze was extremely calm.
