First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 293
After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of dinner, Du Rongzhi asked someone to clean up.

...it was already dark.

When Qing He came in from the outside, she saw Du Rongzhi sitting at the table with her chin resting on her hands, her eyes fixed on the flickering candle, she didn't know what she was thinking.

She stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Young Madam, Mother An is here..."

Du Rongzhi regained consciousness in a daze, and let out a blank "Oh".

Seeing her distraught appearance, Qing He knew that Du Rongzhi didn't listen to what she said just now, and reminded her softly, "Young Madam, Mother An is still waiting outside... Do you want to see me?"

Du Rongzhi remembered it belatedly, nodded slightly, "Let her in."

………………

Momo An was quickly led in by Qing He.She lowered her head, walked up to Du Rongzhi and knelt down without saying a word, "This servant... is here to make an apology for the young madam."

Du Rongzhi looked at her and was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Nurse is getting old, let's get up and talk."

Nanny An shook her head, leaned down deeply, and said in a hoarse voice, "My servant knows that the young lady is angry... everything is my fault. This servant should not make up her own mind and secretly teach Miss Sun those things behind your back... The servant girl should not have secretly put the seal in when no one is prepared... The servant girl has done something wrong and deserves to be punished. No matter how the young lady decides to deal with it, the servant girl will have nothing to say." Her voice became lower and choked up, " This servant only begs the Young Madam, please don’t get angry with the Young Master about this matter..." Nanny An burst into tears, "You and Master have come to this day with great difficulty. ...Slaves, even if they die a hundred times, they will not be able to absolve themselves of the blame!" After saying that, he fell on the ground and sobbed softly.

Du Rongzhi looked reproachfully at Qing He at the side.

The latter pursed his lips in embarrassment, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Nurse." After a while, Du Rongzhi said slowly, "Why did you do this?"

Nanny An cried out, "It's all, it's all because of the servant who is bewitched by ghosts..." She choked up and said, "The eldest madam is sinister and vicious, if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have suffered so much... The servant really I hate it so much, I thought it would be good to teach her a lesson...the slaves are too confused..."

"No." Du Rongzhi shook his head.

"You didn't do this because you were obsessed with ghosts, nor did you do it on a whim." She looked into Nanny An's eyes and said seriously, "You did it for me."

"You've heard me mention how I trained Guan'er when I was in Biezhuang, and you probably guessed what my original intention was." She paused, "You know better, I've actually given up on that time. Intend."

Nanny An raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Young Madam..."

"I grew up on the mother's milk." Du Rongzhi continued, "I was sick when I was young, and every time it was the mother who hugged me day and night, coaxed me, and fed me medicine... …" She said softly, "I remember how Mammy treated me all these years."

She is a person who has died once. After being used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people and experiencing the betrayal of relatives, she understands better than anyone else how precious this kind of dedication and protection without expecting anything in return is.

Nanny An couldn't help weeping.

Du Rongzhi stretched out his hand to pull her up, and Qing He quickly stepped forward to help her.

"I won't punish Nanny for today's matter." Du Rongzhi said calmly, "If it wasn't for my misguided intentions to mislead Guan'er first, I wouldn't have Nanny take advantage of me later. In the final analysis, This matter is my fault."

Nanny An shook her head desperately, "No, it's not...it's the servant's fault, the servant failed the young lady's trust..."

Du Rongzhi turned a deaf ear to it, and hooked her lips mockingly, "Actually, the young master is not wrong... I did trick my daughter, and I even wanted to bet Sister Guan's reputation, just to get revenge on Shen Shi..." She took a deep breath, "I really feel ashamed to be a mother."

Momo An burst into tears and shook her head, "No, it's not like that...they're all slaves..." She said with a hint of hope in her eyes, "The slaves will go and tell the young master, the young master will believe it." !” After saying that, he was about to go out.

"Don't go!" Du Rongzhi stopped him coldly, "None of you is allowed to interfere with the matter between me and him."

"Yes, but..."

"If Mammy really knows that she's wrong, she will put the same thoughts on me in the future on Miss Sun." She looked at Nanny An and said slowly, "Guan'er is my life, and I live in it." The only pillar in this world. If there is anything wrong with her, I will not be able to live."

Mother An's heart trembled, she felt guilty and sad at the same time, she shed tears and solemnly said, "Young Madam, don't worry... If this servant dares to make a wrong move in the future, even if Young Madam doesn't pursue it, this servant will have no face to see you again." You!"

Seeing Nanny An's disheveled face, Du Rongzhi couldn't bear it, so she waved her hand, "Send Nanny An back."

Nanny An bit her lips and wanted to say something else, but in the end she just staggered and bowed to her, then backed away.

... Qing He sent Nanny An back to the house, and then turned back.

Du Rongzhi seemed to be in better spirits than before, and was flipping through the books left by Song Zixun.Seeing her come in, he put down the book and asked casually, "Did someone send it back?"

"Yes." Qing He held a bowl of sweet jujube tea and handed it to her, "Nurse An blamed herself very much, and kept saying I'm sorry for you..."

Du Rongzhi lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, the sweet taste spread quickly between his lips and teeth, and even his depressed mood eased a bit.

"Nurse An has followed the rules all her life. Who would want to come to this country's mansion and not only learn how to prescribe the anti-children medicine, but also such things..." Du Rongzhi shook her head with a wry smile.

"Mammy, she was thinking too badly... After this incident, she will never dare to make her own decisions again in the future."

Du Rongzhi nodded and thought for a while, "Don't ask her to come in to serve you these few days... Those little girls from the new branch also need to be disciplined."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Qing He responded, while quietly looking at Du Rongzhi's expression, and tentatively said cautiously, "Just now, I heard from Yuanyuan outside that the servant has been staying in the study since I came back from the old lady... It's this time. Didn't have dinner yet."

She paused, seeing that Du Rongzhi had no intention of answering the question at all, she could only continue, "Look...how about sending some food to Master?"

"Go as long as you want." Du Rongzhi said calmly with downcast eyes, "I won't go anyway. You are not allowed to use my banner."

"Why are you doing this?" Qing He sighed and said helplessly, "Nurse An made such a big mistake, you don't even have the heart to punish her, why can't you talk to me well..."

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while before putting down the tea bowl, "You don't understand."

She just doesn't want to give each other false hopes anymore.
