Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 312 Punishment (one more)
"Girl...you haven't become a mother yet, you don't understand!" He argued almost hoarsely, but still looked pale.

Ziqiu doesn't like this, all those who are harmful to the girl and who intend to be harmful to the girl are her enemies!
She folded her arms and snorted coldly, "If you become a mother, you can plot against your master for your son? If everyone is like you, today you are for your son, tomorrow he is for your mother, can my girl have a peaceful life?" Is it? It’s better to send you all away, and you can still try to be clean!”

"Don't say anything that he is going to die. Even if he dies now, it's not your turn to advance or postpone it! Don't you understand the reason why Qian Momo has served half her life in the East Palace?"

Sharp, sharp, and hit the nail on the head.

The little girl displayed an aura that was rarely shown in front of others. Qian Momo had never seen Ziqiu like this before, she looked very much like a big maid from a rich family.The Ziqiu in her impression was unrestrained, cute, and a child who hadn't grown up. Under the huge contrast, she raised her head in a daze, unable to refute a word, and only whispered, "Girl..."

Ji Wuyan was still squatting in front of her, raised her wrist, "Bring it here."

"What, what?"

"medicine."

Qian Momo subconsciously withdrew her hand, staggered and shook her head, she would not argue even if she was caught in the face, she just said no, "No, no... it's all inside."

Shrinking her hands, the paper that wrapped the medicine fell to the ground. Ji Wuyan leaned over to take it, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then stuck it squarely in her belt, stood up and looked down at Nanny Qian, " Who gave you this medicine?"

"This old slave doesn't know..." Qian Momo was like a deflated ball, her whole body was sluggish, "He said that Dali is in his hands, and if he wants Dali to come back, this old slave will have to do it for him." He did one thing... He said that he wanted to let a person who was destined not to live die earlier. He said that he was his best friend, and he couldn't bear to see his life worse than death... He also said that it would not hinder the girl. The matter, let alone any harm to the girl... This old slave is willing. Girl, the girl is kind to the old slave, if it is harmful to the girl, the old slave will not do it even if he gives up his life !"

"Ha! It's not enough for an assassin to determine your life and death, but you also have to decide the stakes for the girl... Mommy Qian, it's hard for you to remember the girl's kindness to you!" Ziqiu laughed directly, "You said you didn't Knowing who he is, you said that you just believed the other party's words, you took yourself out of this matter, and hung yourself high with the selfishness of a mother, making everything seem to be well-known and even justified. But Qian Momo, an ordinary little girl like me knows the stakes behind this, and knows that the other party is out to kill people, but you don't?"

Ji Wuyan let Ziqiu make Nanny Qian speechless. She lowered her head and brushed off the grass clippings she had just gotten on while squatting, and reminded softly, "The money you received at that time came from 'Chu'. Remember Qianzhuang', I asked, that person is from the Eastern Palace. Does Qian Li know anyone from the Eastern Palace, and whether he can get on this line? You have been serving there for all these years, and you know better than me... The 1000 taels , It’s life money.”

Sometimes it's just another straw that breaks the camel's back.Obviously, Qian Dali was the straw to Qian Momo.

After the words "buying money for life" came out, Nanny Qian's face turned pale, and she couldn't even cry. She reached out to grab Ji Wuyan's hem, but failed to catch it. She just maintained that movement, as if she was about to catch her. Like something in nothingness, he muttered to himself, "No... no girl, he said, he said that Dali is still alive, as long as I help him complete one thing, Dali will come back..."

"My little girl is simple-minded, and she speaks directly, but she is not without reason." Ji Wuyan took a half step back to avoid the hand that was extended by the other party.On that hand, there were mud dug in between the nails, the palm was wide, the skin was loose, and it was a hand that had been toiled all the year round.Her eyes fell on that palm, and after a while, she chuckled softly, "Since you feel that Dali is still alive, why don't you go out from here at this moment, and then go to see him, and tell him that your mission is completed. This assassin is dead... So, let's see if Qian Li will come back."

Qian Momo was taken aback, "You...won't you punish me?"

Ji Wuyan seemed to be still smiling. Her smile was so weak that it didn't reach her eyes at all. Her eyes still looked cold. "Once the thing is done, whether you punish it or not, the result is the same."

Qian Momo still couldn't believe it, Taoyao was punished twenty times just for leaking the news to her, but how come she...was wondering, when Ji Wuyan asked again, "Why did you come here at that time?" Here, remember?"

Naturally remember.

It's just that the topic changed a little abruptly, she was apprehensive and suspicious, and didn't know what the intention was for a while, so she nodded cautiously.

"Now that I remember it, it will be much easier to handle. I don't like being punished or not, and I don't necessarily change it after being punished left and right. Maybe I still hold a grudge, and it will be troublesome to manage in the future." Ji Wuyan shook her skirt again He said, "Ziqiu is right, today you are doing it for your son, tomorrow he will be doing it for your mother. Actually, it's not right or wrong, it's just a trade-off. I took the heavier one and gave up the lighter one. I can't compare myself to my son." , dear mother. I will ask someone to give you an extra month's monthly payment, so you can pack up and leave today."

"Girl?!" Qian Momo was in a hurry, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she crawled two steps, grabbed Ji Wuyan's skirt, and tugged, "Girl, this old slave knows it's wrong! !Old slave, old slave...how about you beat this old slave twenty times like you beat Miss Taoyao! If twenty is not enough... thirty or thirty is fine! Don't drive this old slave away, old one! Nu...Old slave has nothing left...Girl!"

Ji Wuyan looked down, her eyes became darker and more gloomy as she looked at Nanny Qian on the ground, the corners of her mouth behind the veil were tight, she didn't say anything, obviously she knew that Qian Li was really gone .

But she still took the medicine, just for the... less than one in ten thousand possibility.

Just such a possibility is enough to make her be obedient and take the risk to betray her master who keeps saying that she is "benevolent to her".

She lowered her head and twitched the corner of the skirt that was being pulled, but she didn't pull it out.The old hand gripped her skirt tightly like a pair of pliers.

Ji Wuyan smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and suddenly waved her hand, the strength in her hand flashed, and the hem of the skirt snapped, she looked at Qian Momo and said softly, "Since I punished her, it was because of trusting her. I can no longer trust you, and I don't have to keep you."

The voice is gentle, but cruel.
