Chapter 1205: An Inspirational Woman

“I don’t like people who are half-hearted. From now on, you belong to me, so naturally, I’ll take good care of you,” said Lady Niohuru lightly.
Ning Shu knew that Lady Niohuru was warning her, so she curtsied and said, “This servant understands.”
Lady Niohuru smiled, then took the jade bracelet off her wrist and pressed the bracelet in Ning Shu’s palm. She said, “This is my hello gift to you.”
Ning Shu looked towards the bracelet. It was a delicate imperial consort bracelet. It was obvious with a glance that it was something very valuable. Ning Shu hastily said, “This servant can’t accept it.”
“Take it,” said Lady Niohuru nonchalantly.
A bracelet this valuable wasn’t something a person of her status could wear.
“This servant’s status is humble so she really cannot accept such a valuable reward.” Ning Shu didn’t want to take the bracelet.
Lady Niohuru looked displeased. “I’m your master now. Since I’ve given it to you, just accept it with ease of mind.”
“This servant thanks Lady for this gift.” Ning Shu accepted the bracelet.
Lady Niohuru finally smiled, then turned and left.
As Ning Shu looked at the bracelet in her hand, she couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. As expected of a woman who had been able to live prominently for three consecutive dynasties. She had been promoted from the status of a lady in a vassal state residence to being an imperial consort, then being the empress, and finally the empress dowager. She had lived to the ripe age of 86 before she finally passed away. She had lived until the main wife passed away and became the empress. She had lived until Lady Nian, who Yinzhen doted on greatly, passed away and became one of the most important women to Yinzhen. Finally, she lived until Yinzhen passed away and became the empress dowager. An inspirational woman’s play could be written based on her life.
This kind of combination of grace and prestige was much more skilled than the means that Lady Song resorted to. Although Lady Niohuru’s ways of handling things were still a little immature right now, she was still only 15.
The deep intentions she harbored could be seen.
Ning Shu found this task really troublesome. Lady Song was completely different from that yandere master from before. Xuan Hongyu had regarded Eleven as a tool. He wouldn’t throw away the tool unless the tool was broken and couldn’t be used anymore. He’d use everything to the fullest.
However, as of now, she had been thrown away by Lady Song. She had been abandoned by the target of her task. The little ego figure inside Ning Shu’s heart was pounding the ground in fury. What the fr*ck!?
So just now, Lady Niohuru had been warning her not to try anything.
The inner courtyard was only oh so big, so everyone got news of every little thing that occurred. She could no longer interact with Lady Song or the people in her courtyard.
Otherwise, when the time came, there was no way Lady Niohuru would keep her.
Her current task had now been reduced to just surviving in this inner courtyard. Even if she wanted to look after Lady Song, she wouldn’t be able to.
Ning Shu moved out of the house she used to live in and Lady Niohuru’s servant arranged her a slightly better room.
Ning Shu asked Lady Niohuru’s maid, “Big Sister, what do I need to do?”
