I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Candles were lit in the dim room. Marianne woke up from the bed and found an extremely beautiful mature woman sitting beside the bed.

Her fair skin seemed to glow in the yellowish candlelight, and her long flaxen hair, as beautiful as a clear spring waterfall, fell on her shoulders, showing her charm.

The thin velvet pajamas outline the proud body curves, making people unable to take their eyes off.

"She's awake, great!"

"Thank God, for God's sake, I was worried sick."

"What's the use of thanking God? Thanks to Miss Manjusaka, this girl was able to come back to life."

For fear of disturbing Ruthmary, the others now stayed in the corridor, chattering, and the cheerful atmosphere seemed to fill the whole room.

"You're awake. How do you feel? Do you remember who you are?" Manjushage asked softly.

"My name is Marianne," she said bitterly, "I can't remember anything else."

Manjushage smiled, her beautiful face captivating everyone: "Then you have come to the right place. There are many people with amnesia here."

A burst of laughter broke out in the corridor:

"Miss Manjushage has gained experience from taking care of Mr. Luo Shiqi."

"Hasn't Master Doyle forgotten what happened on the border battlefield?"

"Ms. Manjushage is very forgetful. She always can't remember what happened in the past. If you don't know her, you might think she has lost her memory."

At this moment, a silver head suddenly appeared at the door. Luo Shiqi ran over excitedly, with a curious light flashing in his golden eyes: "Finally, there is someone who remembers nothing like me, hehe."

"Who are you?" Marian looked at him, with a bit of surprise in her confused eyes. This guy's appearance is really iconic, and she always feels like she has seen him somewhere.

"His name is Luo Shiqi, and his condition is even more serious than yours. He couldn't even speak not long ago. Don't be fooled by his tall and handsome appearance. In fact, he is like a child at heart and very noisy." Manjushage said with a smile.

She did not think there was anything strange about Marian's expression. After all, Luo Shiqi was so outstanding in appearance, so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. Anyone who saw him would drool.

At this time, Doyle walked in from outside, his face flushed and he looked out of breath. He grabbed Luo Shiqi by the collar and said, "You guy, we agreed to come together, why are you running so fast?"

"Hehe, I couldn't help but be happy when I heard that there were new friends." Luo Shiqi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, his silver braids swaying back and forth, very eye-catching.

However, when he found Manjushage looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to slip away, he was frightened by a shout: "Hey, what's the matter with the burn marks in your room?"

The sinister smile revealed by Manjushage made Luo Shiqi feel frightened.

He didn't dare to go out all day just to avoid the red spider lilies. When he saw that the situation was not good, he ran away immediately.

"This guy only learns these from Doyle." Manjushage shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

You know what, she looks so playful and cute.

While Marianne was in a coma, Manjushage asked Cora that nothing unexpected had happened during the transportation of the silks, and if someone really wanted to harm Marianne, they would not have gone to so much trouble to secretly transport her into the carriage.

Fortunately, that batch of supplies consisted of lightweight fabrics, otherwise, given her condition at the time, she would have most likely been crushed into a pulp during transportation.

This was also the reason why Count Dracula thought that Lycoris was punishing his servants. After all, who would throw a person covered in blood into luxurious fabrics? These things are more valuable than the life of a slave.

Marianne recovered very quickly these days. Her face was rosy, like a beautiful flower soothed by the warm spring breeze. She was full of energy and worked very hard. She was proficient in serving tea, washing clothes, cooking and cleaning the house. Seeing how hard she worked, the other maids quickly took over the work in her hands:

"Leave it there, Marianne."

"Yes, you have just recovered. You don't have to work so hard. There are still many maids in the castle. If you take on all the work by yourself, the others will have nothing to do, and you will be scolded."

"Okay then." Marianne nodded, thinking that what they said made sense.

Just as she was about to take a rest, a girl dressed in fancy clothes called out to her: "Hey, is that girl over there new? Do you want to help me with some work?"

Marianne was now full of energy and of course very happy.

But after just a few moves, she discovered that the girl had left all the work to her, while she herself sat in a comfortable position and put on makeup!

"What are you doing?" Marianne asked unhappily.

"Can't you tell? I'm putting on make-up," Ruthmary replied.

"..." Seeing her answer so confidently, Marianne didn't know what to say for a moment.

There are so many maids in the castle who wear makeup and beautiful clothes, but none of them is as lazy as her. She wears brighter clothes than her master, Lycoris radiata. The key is that she looks so skilled, as if it is natural for her to ask others to help her with work.

Thinking of this, Marianne was furious. Everyone in the castle gave her a good impression, gentle and patient, except for this Ruthmary, who made people feel uncomfortable right from the start. She immediately said in dissatisfaction: "You are so lazy, aren't you afraid of Miss Manjusawa's punishment?"

Ruthmary looked displeased. She thought herself superior to others and could not even raise her head in front of Lycoris radiata. But how could a new maid dare to criticize her?

Ever since she moved to the utility room, the other maids' eyes on her gradually changed from admiration to disgust. It's just that she didn't pay back the money, but they are so petty.

Thinking of the contempt she had received recently, Rosemary was very angry and thought that she must teach this newcomer a lesson: "What's the big deal if you, a newcomer, help me do the work? As long as Miss Manjusawa doesn't know, she won't punish me."

She spoke with great confidence, as if there was nothing wrong in ordering others to help with work. Obviously, they were all maids, so why was she so proud?

It’s hard to imagine that if she was always like this, how much injustice the maids who had worked with her all year round must have suffered.

Marian didn't care how senior Ruthmary was, and responded without hesitation: "You self-righteous clown, in terms of seniority, when Ms. Cora became the housekeeper, you were still in your mother's belly! In terms of status, we are all maids. Why should you ask others to help you with your own work?"

"Hey - you little girl, you have a big mouth. You don't want to work, right? Today I will teach you what the rules are!" Ruthmary was so angry. Even Manjushage never said such words to her when she punished her. The other maids used to regard her as an idol. Even though their relationship had become strained recently, they had never spoken to her like this to her face.

Why should a new girl scold her just because she asked her to help with work? That's what they should do!

Ruthmary raised her hand to hit Marianne in the face, but at this moment, a commanding voice came from behind them: "How insolent!"

Rosemary quickly withdrew her hand, messed up her hair and clothes, smeared the thick makeup on her face, and tears suddenly flowed out.

The makeup she was using wasn't very good to begin with. Once it got wet by tears, it smudged immediately. Plus, her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy, she looked like she had just been severely bullied.

"Miss Manjusaka, you are finally here. This newcomer thought I was easy to bully, so she started insulting me. I couldn't bear to see such a person tarnish your reputation, so I was just about to help teach her a lesson." Ruthmary displayed her usual superb acting skills and complained with tears in her eyes.

Marian was stunned. It was clearly Ruth Marie who was trying to stir up trouble and then start a fight. How come she became a loyal servant who protected her master?

"It's not your turn to punish a servant if he does something wrong. Do you still want to be a lady and rebel?" Manjushage didn't take Ruthmary's words to heart at all. This woman's acting skills were good, but her performance style was too monotonous and she was tired of it.

"Oh, Miss Manjusawa, you make it sound so serious. I just think this newcomer is restless and I want to teach her a lesson. It's not that serious." Ruthmary was so anxious at the moment. She had done so many bad things in the past and had never been discovered, but why was she always caught recently?

Now she was accused of treason, and she might be executed on the spot. She was still young, and she didn't want to die so early. She had to be a coward when she needed to be, because sooner or later she would have a chance to turn things around.
