I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1020 The thief shouts to catch the thief
Both Xia Ying and Guan's hearts sank.

Sister Fu nodded slightly.

"Auntie is right. In fact, at the gate just now, the concierge deliberately released water. After all, how could the princess not have given a strategy to deal with various situations in advance for such an important matter? The reason why they are so generous is to allow me and my eldest brother to do it for me. Made the poem, but it's because they still have a backhand waiting for us!"

"Of course I know." Xia Ying nodded.

"The little episode just now, on the one hand, can embarrass us a little bit, and on the other hand, can't it also show our ignorance to other guests? The intention of the arrangement of Xincheng Princess is still very vicious."

So, from the very beginning, Princess Xincheng harbored ill intentions towards them!
"This makes me even more curious about the next move!" Xia Ying raised her chin, a hopeful smile appeared on her face.

When Guan and Ye saw this, they all just shook their heads, and the nervousness in everyone's hearts subsided inexplicably.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the chariot and horse hall, everyone got off the carriage, and then was taken to the place where the male and female guests were staying by the maidservants.

Naturally, Xia Ying and her party were quickly brought to the Xincheng princess.

Princess Xincheng and the prince belong to the same generation, and they are also the grandchildren of the queen mother.She grew up under the Empress Dowager's lap and was very much liked by the Empress Dowager.Later, he left the palace to open a mansion, and recruited a son-in-law to marry. For a time, the husband and wife sang and the wife followed, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious.However, after more than ten years of marriage, the son-in-law passed away, and Princess Xincheng felt very sad. She rejected the emperor's proposal to find another son-in-law for her, and insisted on remaining widowed for the son-in-law until her death.

It was also at this time that Mrs. Gao appeared beside her, and soon the two became good friends, singing and singing with each other, and their relationship was very good.

These are the news sent by Wen Yuan.

But now, after being led into the back garden, Xia Ying discovered that the relationship between Princess Xincheng and the Gao family is not just good!
Right now, these two are sitting together talking and laughing!

The other noble ladies could only stand aside and laugh apologetically, without even a chance to interject.But Mrs. Gao was able to sit on an equal footing with Princess Xincheng, and the two chatted calmly without any barrier of status.

Even now, Xia Ying and the others came close to salute, the princess continued to chat and laugh with Gao as if she hadn't seen them!
It was Gao who reminded her in a low voice: "Princess, Xia Shu has arrived."

Only then did Princess Xincheng raise her head, and she glanced at Xia Ying with a half-smile. "It turns out that this is Xia Shu who let his sons and daughters help him compose poems to pass the test! No courtesy, let's sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Xia Yingshi saluted politely, and she went over and sat down.

She had already been prepared to be picked on. Of course she is normal now, no matter how the other party attacks and humiliates her, she doesn't care.

It's the same with several Guan family members.

It's just that Princess Xincheng's method is of course not that simple.

Now that she has chatted with Xia Ying, she immediately began to question Xia Ying as if she had found a new toy.

At first, she just asked about Xia Ying's experience in the countryside, and then she made sharp comments.But slowly, her topic shifted to Lu Yueniang's mother and daughter.

"My princess has heard people say that people in Xiashu have always advocated equality for everyone, not only equality between men and women, but even nobles and common people. In fact, I didn't believe it at first. I think you just want to throw some The extravagant remarks attracted people's attention, so that I could gain more people's favor. But then this princess found out that you had several disfigured slaves by your side? You still entrusted them with important responsibilities? Only then did this princess know , you are serious. This princess really admires your heart!"

Since she and Gao's mother and daughter had a dispute that day because of Lu Yueniang's mother and daughter, of course Xia Ying knew that Princess Xincheng used this incident as a raft to attack her.

Xia Ying said: "Thank you princess for your compliment. I always employ people only based on their ability and character, not face."

"Really?" Princess Xincheng raised her eyebrows again, "But why, my princess later heard people speculate that the reason why you keep those disfigured people by your side is to let them contrast you? With a few ugly monsters standing around, even ordinary people with ordinary looks can be called angels! I don’t know Xia Shuren, how do you explain this statement?”

It's only been a few days, and the outside world has already started to distort the reason why she took in Lu Yueniang's mother and child like this?

Xia Ying looked at Gao Shi.

"Could Madam Cao think so too?"

Gao quickly waved his hand. "Xia Shuren was joking. I am just an ordinary imperial lady, and I am not as good as you in terms of status. How can I have the guts to talk about your affairs?"

Xia Ying is a third-rank gentleman, but Gao's husband-in-law Mr. Cao is only a fourth-rank official, so the order she can get is only fifth rank, which is much worse than Xia Ying.

This is also another reason why Gao's heart is extremely unhappy - he actually lost to this village woman again in this aspect!

Xia Ying pursed her lips. "I just asked if you thought so, and did you say that you must speak out. I don't believe it, you haven't thought about it!"

In fact, what she really wants to say is—I'm afraid these words came out of your mouth, right?

Otherwise, who would be crazy to gossip about the relationship between master and servant in other people's backyards?

Gao quickly lowered his head even lower. "I really didn't!"

When Princess Xincheng saw this, her complexion darkened: "Xia Shuren, it's fine for you to bully her when this princess is away, but now that you are a guest at my house, you actually start bullying others in front of me, the master? Don't you know that Mrs. Cao is a distinguished guest in my house?"

"I just asked her a word, and she said no, it's fine. Did I scold her, how could it be bullying?" Xia Ying helplessly spread her hands.

She really is a shrew from the country!

No one can match the ability to turn your face and deny it on the spot after spilling it!

Princess Xincheng cursed angrily in her heart, and she said coldly: "Forget it, I also know that, aren't you just worried that Mrs. Cao will snatch Gu Tanhua from you? You are simply worrying too much about this. Mrs. Cao and Ben The princess has said that now she is only looking forward to seeing that child well, and she is satisfied. This child was raised by you, and he will be your son from now on. You don’t have to think about it all day long. It looks like everyone thinks they want to rob your son!"

I go!

Xia Ying was almost so angry that she couldn't catch her breath.

This is called a thief calling catch a thief, right?

Since when did she ever worry that Mrs. Gao would come to snatch Gu Yuanlong?Obviously it was Gao who wanted to take Gu Yuanlong away from her, which is almost the same!
As a result, she was still adjusting her mood by herself, and immediately heard Princess Xincheng say——

"Now, let the princess be the middleman. You can speak up in public and reconcile with each other from now on!"
