Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 311 Shaking Mushrooms on the Wall (Part 8)

Da Ru was immediately banished to the cold palace, and Qing Mo didn't give her time to go back and pack her belongings.

Su Xin couldn't bear to see her mistress alone in the cold palace, so she decided to go in and keep her company.

"My lady, what will you do all alone in the cold palace? Let me go back and pack some things, then I'll come in and keep you company."

Upon hearing this, Da Ru's eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, instantly lit up.

"Okay, Ruixin, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." Daru held Ruixin's hand tightly, her eyes full of relief.

Then she added, "Sui Xin, I don't need you to bring anything, but you must bring all of my armor."

"My lady, I've heard that the Cold Palace is cold and damp. We should bring more warm clothes and some silver notes. What's the use of armor?" Su Xin really didn't understand.

Da Ru smiled and said, "You don't understand. Those armors were custom-made by me at a great cost. They are not only my life, but also my dignity."

"Ah? But my lord, we just need to live well in the cold palace, why do we need to be respectable?"

“Su Xin, you must remember that no matter when or where, the most important thing for a person is dignity. If I lose my dignity, I would rather die. You are just too materialistic.”

At this moment, Da Ru's face seemed to be shrouded in a holy light.

"Those fussy clothes and banknotes are vulgar things, I disdain them, I only care about my dignity."

Su Xin didn't understand, but she respected it. If the young master wanted to maintain his dignity, then she would give him dignity.

Su Xin returned to Yanxi Palace, packed some ordinary clothes and daily necessities, and mainly took all of the concubine's nail guards before rushing to the Cold Palace.

However, they were stopped halfway there.

"Eunuch Jue, what are your orders? This servant must return to the Cold Palace to accompany my young mistress."

Looking at Jue Er's face, Su Xin felt a little uneasy, but she just held her bundle tightly.

"Ah."

Jue Er chuckled softly.

“You, open her bundle and check it carefully. We can’t let her take anything unnecessary to the Cold Palace.”

At Jue Er's signal, the two eunuchs snatched Rui's bundle without hesitation and threw it on the ground.

They took out all the heavy clothes and bedding, and left not a single penny of silver notes or money. As for the armor, naturally, they didn't give Daru any of it.

Circumstances dictate that no one can change one's fate. No matter how angry Xin was, he could only bow his head until he saw that Da Ru's armor had also been stolen. Only then did he rush forward to snatch it back.

"You, you're going too far! Give it to me. This is our mistress's armor. It's her life, it's her dignity. You can't take it away."

Jue Er kicked Xin away and said viciously, "What dignity? If you lose power in this palace, don't expect to have any dignity. I'll take this armor."

As he spoke, Jue Er put the armor on his hands and gestured a few times.

Hey, you know what, it's actually pretty good-looking.

His delicate, orchid-like fingers looked especially charming as he turned around to show his master.

Su Xin fell to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. Her mistress's armor had been stolen; how was she going to explain this to her mistress?

The eunuchs didn't care about anything else and started punching and kicking Su Xin. This was the consequence of offending Eunuch Jue.

"How dare you! Stop right now!"

At this moment, Li Yu rushed over and saw that Su Xin was being bullied, so she quickly went to protect her.

The eunuchs also stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Jue Er, after all, they couldn't afford to offend Eunuch Li Yu.

"What are you looking at? You blind fool! Who does he think he is, daring to meddle in my business? Beat him up, beat him up too!"

"A eunuch, a presumptuous fool, trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, I spit on him."

Jue Er's armor pointed at the two of them, and he uttered a single word: "Go!"

With him backing him up, the other eunuchs naturally stopped taking Li Yu seriously and beat up this sycophant along with them.

By the time Su Xin dragged her covered in wounds back to the Cold Palace, it was already dark.

As soon as they stepped into the cold palace, a chilly and damp atmosphere hit them, while Da Ru was huddled in a corner and had not entered the room.

Upon seeing Xin, Da Ru forced a smile and immediately came to greet her, not even glancing at the injuries on her face, but simply taking her bundle.

He flipped through the pages again and again, but still couldn't find what he was looking for, so he looked at Su Xin.

"Xin Xin, where are my armor? Why aren't you wearing it? I told you countless times not to forget my armor, why didn't you bring it?"

"My lady, I'm sorry, I forgot. Please blame me." Su Xin didn't want Da Ru to worry, so she didn't tell him that she had been beaten.

Da Ru, on the other hand, acted as if she were blind, pretending not to see the injury on Xin Xin's face and the fact that she walked with a limp.

Da Ru stared blankly ahead, muttering, "So be it, my dignity is gone, my dignity is gone."

"Gululu..."

The atmosphere was already somewhat somber when, coincidentally, Daru's belly started growling.

"My lady, are you hungry?" Su Xin asked.

Da Ru, however, did not care. "If I lose my dignity, I will not be able to eat anything."

My heart...

Even if Daru wanted to eat, she had nothing to give her; it was already dark.

"My lady, don't think about it anymore. Let's go inside and rest early."

Da Ru nodded blankly, and the two went into the house together. However, the house was filthy and messy, with cobwebs all matted together, clearly indicating that it had been neglected for a long time.

The reason Daru stayed squatting in the yard was not because she was genuinely waiting for Ruixin; she simply didn't want to clean up herself and wanted Ruixin to do it.

"My lady, please wait outside for a moment. I'll clean up first, and then you can come in."

As expected, Xin did not disappoint Daru. Despite the pain in her body, she began to clean the house.

She swept away the dust, pulled down the cobwebs, and was panting heavily as she finally cleaned the place. She then tidied up the thin bed before letting Daru in.

Da Ru walked into the house, wrinkled her nose in disgust, but didn't say anything.

At night, the cold wind blew in through the hole in the window, making Da Ru shiver with cold.

Da Ru didn't say anything; she just kept pulling at the blanket, leaving only a corner for Rui Xin, who silently endured it without uttering a sound.

In the following days, Da Ru just sat on the steps of the Cold Palace in a daze, and had no mood to grow flowers and plants. With her armor gone, what dignity did she have left?

"Your Majesty, you are truly heartless. You even had the armor on my hands taken away. You are trying to make me lose all my dignity."

"We gaze at each other from afar, one glance and my heart breaks; my young love, I have ultimately misplaced my affections."

As she washed the clothes, Xin glanced at Daru on the steps every now and then, rubbed her aching back, and looked up at the sky in silence.

The master is indeed a respectable person. She never lifts a finger and still needs to be served in everything, just like before. What will she do without me?
