Capítulo 53: Chapter 23: Nanny Gu Leaves (Part 1)_3
Nanny Gu's face had just brightened when she heard Yueyao say, "You just have to tell me, how much about our second branch's private affairs have you discussed with Nanny Hua during these days?"
Frightened, Nanny Gu flinched but quickly recovered. Clenching her teeth, she said, "No, Miss, I merely spoke to Nanny Hua about old times in Jiangnan. As for other matters, I haven't said a word."
Yueyao maintained her composure but sneered inwardly. She truly thought herself to still be an eight-year-old child. Her own wet nurse was frequently chatting with the Eldest Madam's maid. Speaking merely of old times in Jiangnan, what old times? As if they could discuss the picturesque scenery of Jiangnan.
Yueyao chuckled lightly, "Really? I thought you had told Nanny Hua that our second branch is wealthy and that Grandma holds less than half of the family's wealth, with the rest under my control?" No, that wouldn't be strange at all!
Nanny Gu stiffened all over but soon came to her senses and hastily protested her innocence, "Miss, I didn't say anything. You were raised by me, how could I possibly betray you?"
Yueyao's face was full of smiles, "Oh, if it wasn't you, why would my second sister ask me about it? Also, whenever there's any small happening here, it becomes known at my Eldest Aunt's place. If it wasn't you, then tell me, who was it?"
Nanny Gu protested anxiously, "Miss, there are so many maids in the courtyard, plenty are gossipers. Miss, someone must be framing me. It must be the Eldest Madam trying to create a rift and frame me. Miss, please don't fall for their vicious trap. Miss, I truly haven't said anything. If I did, may the heavens strike me with thunder and banish me to the Eighteen Levels of Hell after I die."
Outside, Hua Lei and Qiao Lan heard Nanny Gu apparently scolding the Miss and were frightened pale, instantly rushing in.
When Qiao Lan and Hua Lei came in, they saw Yueyao with tears streaming down her face, looking at Nanny Gu with profound grief. Clearly, the recent matter had greatly saddened the Miss.
Qiao Lan said angrily, "Nanny Gu, if it were not for the fact that you're the Miss's wet nurse, just based on your wild and frenzied words just now, it wouldn't be too much to beat you to death with a stick."
Nanny Gu had lost control earlier and now, regaining her composure, she realized she had made a grave mistake. Seeing Yueyao intentionally provoking her and now weeping grievously, she suddenly didn't know what to say. She felt very distant from the person before her. This was not her Miss, certainly not.
Under Hua Lei's consoling, Yueyao stopped her tears, "You are my wet nurse, and Grandma did this for your own good. Now, with Grandma's favor, you can walk around dignified and respected, isn't that a good thing? Wet nurse, don't worry, I will often send someone to see you."
A servant who betrays their master has only the path of death. But Yueyao did not wish to dispose of Nanny Gu in this way. To deal with Nanny Gu thus would dirty her hands. Having been outside for ten years, she knew the outside world differed from the inner house. Survival was not easy outside. To let them go, depending on a widow like Nanny Gu to support her son through his studies was impossible. Without the Lian family's support, her son would never make it. Capital City isn't a place just anyone can easily establish themselves.
Nanny Gu stared at Yueyao with wide eyes. She knew that Yueyao was threatening her with her son, indicating that if she dared to speak carelessly, not only she but her son too, would be implicated. She knew leaving Lian Mansion was now inevitable.
Nanny Gu collapsed to the ground, wondering how she and her son would manage in the future.
