Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 292 Disposing of Old Slaves (2)
Fushou Temple
Mrs. Xia was in a good mood and sat at the table to have breakfast, with Nanny Gui and Siyan, a maid beside her, waiting on her side.

"The old lady seems to have eaten more than usual today." Nanny Gui said with a smile while helping Mrs. Xia to prepare vegetables.

Mrs. Xia chuckled, picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and took a bite, then raised her head and glanced at Nanny Gui: "Missy came back last night?"

Nanny Gui nodded: "I heard that the little prince's carriage brought the eldest lady back last night, but according to the concierge, she seemed to go out again after about half an hour."

A look of coldness flashed across Mrs. Xia's face: "Oh? It seems that she is very close to Little Prince Yu! Do you know what she is doing?"

Nanny Gui shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard that the eldest lady came back for a while last night and asked Xi Chun to prepare the horse and left in a hurry."

Mrs. Xia snorted coldly, and after eating a piece of pumpkin pie, she lowered her head and took a sip of lotus seed porridge before continuing: "She must have only found out about Nanny Jiang last night, so she rushed out to look for it. It seems that this The girl is extremely affectionate and righteous to the servants around her, if I guessed correctly, she should come later!"

Nanny Gui stood where she was, and when she heard Nanny Jiang's name, there was a look of sadness in her eyes: "Old Madam, actually, this old servant felt that there was something wrong with what happened that day. I still know a little bit about it, not to mention whether she is open to money, but the importance of the eldest lady in her heart, she will not do such a thing, after all, the middle class in the mansion is currently in charge of the eldest lady in name, If she guards and steals herself, won't she cause great trouble to the eldest lady?"

The old lady listened carefully to Nanny Gui's analysis, without showing too much expression on her round face, she put down her chopsticks, and just now took a careful look at Nanny Gui: "I already expected that you would bring up this matter sooner or later. matter."

"It's the old slave who overstepped." Nanny Gui immediately bowed her head respectfully to the old lady's scrutinizing eyes. She has served the old lady for decades, and she already knows her temperament very well. No matter what happened, even if it was wrong, she would absolutely not allow others to be petty and doubtful in front of her, but when she thought of her old sister suffering such unjust injustice, Nanny Gui still brought up the matter after the old lady gradually calmed down. .

"Old lady, please rinse your mouth." Seeing that Mrs. Xia put down her chopsticks and concealed her face, Siyan who was standing aside hurriedly brought the tea for rinsing mouth, and the second-class maid beside her brought the copper basin, Mrs. Xia The man picked up the water handed to her and rinsed his mouth, Siyan hurriedly reached out to take it again, and brought her a cup of warm tea.

Under Siyan's interruption, the old lady slowly eased her face just now.

Holding the tea in her hand, she gently lifted the lid of the tea, took a sip, and never looked at Nanny Gui from the beginning to the end, and Nanny Gui kept her head bowed all the time, but she was secretly grateful for Siyan's help in her heart.

After waiting for a cup of tea, the old lady seemed to think of Nanny Gui, raised her eyes and glanced at her and said lightly: "You and sister Jiang Nanny are deeply in love, I have heard about it over the years, and Nanny Jiang died 12 years ago. She has a criminal record of theft, do you know why I didn't drive her out of the house?"

"I don't know." Hearing Mrs. Xia's anger, Nanny Gui didn't dare to continue pleading. Although she really wanted to clear up Nanny Jiang's guilt, she knew that if she brought up this matter again, she would not be able to plead any more. Completely lost the old lady's trust.

Mrs. Xia sneered, her gentle face was no longer as gentle as usual, but replaced with an extremely cold and stern aura. "Because I knew Mother Jiang was wronged back then."

"Old lady?" Nanny Gui suddenly raised her head.

"It's surprising, isn't it?" The smile on the corner of Madam Xia's mouth became deeper, and the maids standing next to her knew that the next words were not what they should listen to, so they consciously retreated from the room under the leadership of Si Yan, The door was closed, and at this moment, only the old lady and Nanny Gui were left in the room.

"Mother Jiang is an old man bestowed upon Yang Ziyuan by the Empress Dowager. She is so loyal to Yang Ziyuan. Yang Ziyuan's death is more or less related to me. Doesn't she have hatred for me in her heart all these years? You should understand the principle of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, and blowing the wind to regenerate it. If Ziqing hadn’t been threatened with death, I would never have left this old woman. Ziqing seems to understand my thoughts. There are a lot of hidden guards around me, like thieves, secretly guarding against my mother who is pregnant with him in October. Although his method saved the lives of both of them, it made me feel completely cold about this son. .”

"So Mama Qi designed to wrong Nanny Jiang this time, old lady, you just turn a blind eye and take this opportunity to eradicate her?" Nanny Gui put away the shock on her face and asked expressionlessly.

Mrs. Xia didn't care about Nanny Gui's expression now, she stood up with a chuckle and sat on the soft bed next to her, pointing to a plant full of white petals in the room: "Look at this Impatiens plant The flower blooms so beautifully, but if I don’t water it and trim its branches and leaves on time, can it still grow so delicately? This impatiens can reflect many principles of life. If this flower It belongs to someone else, I like it very much, and I want to move to my own house, I will choose a method, as long as the owner of this flower disappears completely, I will become its real owner."

Nanny Gui trembled uncontrollably. Although Mrs. Xia didn't directly explain to her the real reason why she deliberately wanted Nanny Jiang's life, she understood it instantly through this Impatiens flower.

This flower is just like the eldest lady. Since Mother Jiang returned to her side, the eldest lady has almost completely reborn, and she has not seen the stupid and cowardly Xia Qingge from before. If you trace the root of this, the old lady She would definitely be the first to suspect that Nanny Jiang was manipulating behind the scenes, that's why she now wants to completely eradicate Nanny Jiang and control the eldest lady in her hands, so that the old lady can make the eldest lady truly Trust her, so that she can go on smoothly and honestly according to her plan.

But is things really as the old lady thinks?Is it really because of Mother Jiang that the eldest lady became what she is now?

Thinking of the young lady whom I have seen these few times, she is elegant and quiet, her words are smooth, and her advances and retreats are measured. In such a short period of time, if Mother Jiang can train the young lady to look like she is now, I am afraid that this young lady is not good at all. An easy master!
"Old lady, the eldest lady is here!" Just as the room was silent, Si Yanhou outside the door called out softly.

The old lady swept her brows lightly, and glanced at the door before she glanced sideways at Nanny Gui: "I've told you so much today, just to tell you a truth, sometimes loyalty and friendship have to go against each other, when you When I have to choose between the two, I hope you will not disappoint me."
