The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 41

Nanny Zhang looked at Aunt Jin and the maid who was following her, showing a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Mu Yanran couldn't help asking strangely: "Nurse, is there anything you can't say?"

Aunt Jin was also a little scared by Zhang Nanny, she couldn't help spitting and asked: "Zhang Nanny, why are you looking at me like that?"

Mammy Zhang looked back and saw Mrs. Wang nodded, then took out a paper bag from her sleeve and put it on the table, "This old slave found this from the second young master's room." After speaking, she looked at Jin meaningfully. Auntie took a look.

"What is this?" He asked, reaching out to open the paper bag.

"Miss, don't do it!" Nanny Zhang suddenly said, scaring Mu Yanran so that her face turned pale, and her outstretched hand trembled involuntarily.

"My lady's crime, this old slave didn't mean to scare her, but she is a noble lady, so it's really not suitable to touch this kind of dirty thing." Seeing that she had frightened Mu Yanran, Zhang Momo hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Mu Yanran picked up her eldest lady's airs, and said kindly: "It's okay, I'm just curious about what is hidden in the second younger brother's room, so that Mammy treats it so cautiously."

"That's, that's, that's croton powder." Madam Zhang glanced at Aunt Jin several times, and finally spoke out hesitantly.

"Croton powder? Why is there such a thing in the second young master's room?" Aunt Jin screamed in disbelief when she heard this. It was a gift from Croton, and now he found Croton in her youngest son's room. This... how could she believe it.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Jin displeasedly, and then asked: "Nurse Zhang, tell me what's going on carefully? Isn't Second Young Master feeling better these two days? Why is there croton powder in his room?"

"Go back to Madam." Zhang Momo saluted and said, "The old servant took Madam's order and went to the kitchen of the public office to ask if there were any outsiders in the kitchen today."

Nanny Zhang glanced at everyone, and then said: "Grandma Li in the kitchen said that the servant of the second young master went to the kitchen in the morning to have some snacks, and stayed in the kitchen for a while."

"Impossible, it can't be Zijie, Yu'er is his own sister." Aunt Jin realized what Zhang Nanny was referring to, and retorted subconsciously.

"Auntie, you're being rude, and you can call Fifth Miss and Second Young Master by their names." Nanny Zhang glanced coldly at Aunt Jin, signaling her to pay attention to her identity.

At this time, when she comes out to do good things, of course Wang will leave it to her daughter, she just sips the tea in her hand lightly.

And Mu Yanran stood up to meet her expectations: "Don't say that, mother, my aunt also cares about the fifth sister and the second brother, and she can't help it for a while, and I hope mother will see that the fifth sister is still ill. Too fussy."

"What did my son say? How can my mother be such a petty person? Sister Jin is also in a hurry. As a mother, I can understand her feelings." Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Jin with a smile: "You too Don't get too excited, things will work out."

"Yes, thank you Madam for your compassion, thank you Miss!" Aunt Jin could only bow her head and admit her mistake, she was a concubine when she was called a wife!
Mrs. Wang nodded, motioning for Nanny Zhang to continue, and Nanny Zhang nodded, "Originally, this old slave didn't think much of it, but the second young master asked Mingfang to throw this bag into the grass when no one noticed. The old slave went to pick it up and asked Dr. Huang to show it, and he recognized it as Croton at a glance."

"Then you watched the second young master hand this thing over to Mingfang and let him throw it out?" Mrs. Wang asked seriously, pointing to the paper bag on the table.

"Yes, I don't dare to lie." Nanny Zhang knelt down and said.

At this moment, Aunt Jin didn't know what to say. Just now she clamored to investigate, but now she found Croton in her son's hands. What should she do!

"Sister, in my opinion, let's stop this matter." Mrs. Wang persuaded with a face of kindness: "Anyway, the fifth girl is fine now, didn't the doctor say that it will be fine after a few days of recuperation? If you continue to make trouble , you don’t have to annoy the old lady, just do it!”

Before Aunt Jin could open her mouth, Mu Yanran persuaded her: "Auntie, I will intercede for Fifth Younger Sister in two days, so that she can avoid her punishment. After all, she doesn't want such a thing to happen. , but if my aunt is still tossing about this matter, if the second brother is involved, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

After hearing Mu Yanran's threatening words, Aunt Jin's heart tightened. Her son is a concubine, and he is sick all the time. The old lady doesn't like it very much. If this matter makes the old lady angry again, he will The position in the Shangshu Mansion is even less.

What's more, Mu Yanran also agreed to intercede for Yu'er so that she would not be punished. The old lady has always loved this granddaughter, so if she begs for mercy, the old lady will definitely agree.

Although I still feel that this matter is strange in my heart, but now I can keep my children from being involved, that is the best result. As for that little girl in Qingyuan, hmph!There is ample time!
Making up her mind, she bowed to Mrs. Wang: "Your servant obeys Mrs., but..." She glanced at the servant in the room.

Mrs. Wang understood: "They didn't hear anything, as long as you restrain your servants." The implication is that today's matter will not spread from her.

"My maidservant and the second young master thank you Madam." After speaking, he turned around and saluted Mu Yanran: "My maidservant thanked Eldest Miss on behalf of Fifth Miss."

"Auntie, please get up, aren't you trying to upset Yanran?" Mu Yanran hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Aunt Jin's gift, stepped forward to give her a hand, and said, "I'm a big sister, so of course I won't just stand by and watch my sister suffer. Auntie should hurry back and take care of Fifth Sister."

Aunt Jin said a few more words of politeness before leading them to Mu Yuqing's Qingyun Pavilion.

"Mother, do you really believe that it was Mu Zijie's Croton?" Seeing Aunt Jin and the others leave the yard, Mu Yanran put away her smile and asked quietly.

"It doesn't matter whether he is or not." Mrs. Wang said with an unpredictable expression, "It has nothing to do with us. We just need to wait and watch the show."

"Mother means..." Mu Yanran cast her eyes towards Qingyuan: "Maybe it was her who really did it?"

Mrs. Wang smiled, took her daughter's hand, and patted it a few times: "Just remember, you are the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, such a small role, you don't deserve to dirty your hands, and someone will take care of her." , we just need to open one eye and close one eye.”

Mu Yanran simply snuggled into Mrs. Wang's arms, and said with a smile, "Mother is saying that Aunt Jin is still suspicious of that girl?"

"You think Mrs. Jin is a fool. Her eyes are very poisonous. What's more, if she doesn't like something, she can make trouble for three days even if there is no holiday. How could she let that girl go?" Flash past insidious.

After hearing this, Mu Yanran laughed softly, "Then let's wait and see the good show!"
