Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 937

Hearing this, the housekeeper felt as if she were being offered her last meal.

Her heart was in turmoil. The old hag had dropped the act.

“Ma… Madam, I just remembered I have something to take care of. We're out of that healing tonic you like. Should I go pick some up?”

The old madam deliberately glanced outside and smiled. “On a snowy day like this? It's not like I absolutely must have that broth. Don’t go. Just have your breakfast here. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm working you to the bone. You're not young anymore. If you take a fall, it could be hard to get back up.”

“You’re old enough to know what’s at stake. Now go, eat. I’d hate for such a lavish meal to go to waste.”

The housekeeper was at a loss for words.

Breakfast here was always excellent.

And what did she mean by 'hard to get back up after a fall'? Was that a veiled threat?

Growing more anxious, the housekeeper tried again. “Madam, it's an emergency. My son was involved in a serious hit-and-run on his way to work. I have to get to the hospital.”

The old madam looked regretful. “Well then, you should go. I had your favorite healing tonic prepared for you today. You usually end up with half of mine. Just look at your face, all radiant and glowing. Your skin is getting better and better.”

She didn't know how to respond to that.

Who was she insinuating was a thief?

She was just helping her out! The old madam could never finish it all, right?

She always left half a bowl, and it would just go to waste. That tonic was liquid gold. It was a crime to let it go to waste, so she figured she was doing you a favor by finishing it.
