The Cannon-Fodder Wife Is a Wolfish Beauty

The Jingbei Prince's mansion is grand and bustling, with carriages lined up far beyond its gates.

Yet one prosperous courtyard inside is deserted, its gates rarely visited.

The senior maid in the courtyard has long given up on competing for favor.

At first, she'd thought that serving the newlywed heir's wife meant she'd made something of herself in the prince's household.

Who could have guessed that in two years, the heir had barely visited a few times?

She'd have been better off assigned to the small courtyard next door.

At least she could see the heir there,

and even when she couldn't see him, fine things were sent over in a steady stream.

The heir's wife called for someone, and the maid lifted the curtain and went inside.

She saw that her mistress hadn't even combed her hair before asking what was for dinner.

The maid held back, and held back, but after two years she couldn't take it anymore.

She blurted out a string of complaints:

"Madam, the heir is back, and he's gone to the courtyard next door again."

--The last time you saw him was three months ago, wasn't it?

"Several boxes of silk, packed so tightly you couldn't even fit a hand between them, were all carried into that courtyard."

--He didn't leave even one bolt for you, his legitimate wife.

"There was clanging and hammering over there earlier. They weren't just planting trees, they built a huge swing too."

--The swing here was put together by you yourself, and it's so crude even I feel sorry for you...

"Even your younger sister can get up and swing on hers now, while you--"

It's time to rise up!

The room fell quiet. The maid lowered her head and held her breath, her heart pounding, chest rising and falling,

waiting for her mistress to speak.

At last, her mistress said something. The maid clenched her hands.

"So, what are we having from the kitchen today?"

"I heard they're cutting two dishes. Is that true?"

Reader's notes:

(1) The male and female leads have only been with each other.

(2) The female lead is a transmigrator with a mission. At first, she has no heart. She has many identities.
