Chapter 56
Just as Su Xi-er walked out of the door, she saw a group of Laundry Service Bureau's palace maids clad in yellowish-brown palace attire walking in her direction . The red spots on their faces had disappeared, and their expressions were relaxed .
Old Maidservant Li walked right at the front and glanced at Su Xi-er . Afterwards, she bellowed at the Palace Side Quarters' palace maids partaking their meals in the room, "Palace maids transferred over from the Palace Side Quarters, all of you are to return to the Palace Side Quarters after you are done was . h . i . +ng the clothes today . "
In an instant, the palace maids who were eating inside the room came out, their faces filled with delight .
We just need to endure for one more day and we can go back to the Palace Side Quarters . Although there is also a lot of work in the Palace Side Quarters, it's still much better than was . h . i . +ng clothes . At the very least, we don't have to soak our hands in water all day long in the Palace Side Quarters .
Old Maidservant Li turned to look at Su Xi-er, speaking in a softer and more mild-mannered tone, "The others can go back, but you must stay . The Imperial Household Department has just instructed that you will remain in the Laundry Service Bureau to wash clothes . "
When the other palace maids from the Palace Side Quarters heard that, some felt rueful in their hearts, while some began to sympathise with Su Xi-er .
It seems like fate likes to play around with Su Xi-er . At times causing her to be the object of everyone's anger, while being extremely pitiable at others . At the same time, her success has attracted the jealousy of others, and some even feel as if she deserved any misfortune that fell upon her .
Old Maidservant Li's voice rang again as she waved her hand at the palace maids from the Palace Side Quarters . "The few of you, come here . Wash clothes with the Laundry Service Bureau maids who have recovered . Su Xi-er, go and simmer medicine for the palace maids who haven't recovered . "
That morning, Eunuch Zhang had told Old Maidservant Li not to casually have Su Xi-er wash clothes in the Laundry Service Bureau . Instead, she would be was . h . i . +ng clothes that were specifically sent over .
Old Maidservant Li instantly understood Eunuch Zhang's words . She will only be in charge of was . h . i . +ng valuable clothes .
This task didn't require her to wash many clothes, but was something extremely dangerous in of itself . Ordinary maids from the Laundry Service Bureau treated it as an intractable problem n . o . body wanted . There were even cases of palace maids being flogged to death because they had damaged expensive clothing when was . h . i . +ng them .
