Her hands were originally placed flat on the armrests of the chair, but at this moment, she couldn't help but clench them into fists.

Nanny Tang watched Nanny Jiang's reaction calmly, and raised the corners of her mouth without any expression.

Let’s see how long she can hold on!

In fact, in just a moment, Nanny Jiang thought of the big thing she had done in a fit of rage sixteen years ago!

At that time, her son died and her daughter-in-law died of complications during childbirth. She felt extremely unbalanced and resentful towards the Luo family, so she came up with the idea of ​​revenge by exchanging the children.

She was also nervous at first, but after a long time, she found that Luo Shi was so stupid that she didn't doubt it at all and was especially nice to Sister Lin.

The girls from the Cao family were able to grow up like treasures in the Duke's Mansion and live a good life.

The few remaining feelings of uneasiness, fear, and guilt gradually disappeared.

Besides, she had nothing to feel guilty about!

His son Cao Yong died to save Luo Shi, but Luo Shi refused to even commend him for his achievements!

If not, how could the daughter-in-law be so sad that she couldn't take good care of the baby?

She passed away after giving birth to a half-grown baby, leaving her whole family with only her old bones!

When Guo died, Luo's baby was still unborn, so for some unknown reason, she secretly swapped the two children.

A few days later, he used a fake death drug to send Luo's biological daughter far away, directly to her second brother who was a farmer in the countryside. He gave her one or two hundred yuan a month to keep her from starving to death, but she was not well fed or clothed, and was abused since childhood.

Some time ago, her second brother sent a letter saying that he had sold the girl to a lowly place, and she was still angry.

How much is a girl worth?

If they were short of money, they could just tell her directly. Selling Luo's biological daughter would only be giving the girl a bargain, and they would also lose a major guarantee!

However, Xinghua Village is too far from Beijing, and even if she wanted to chase him, she couldn't fly there.

Nanny Jiang was thinking about this, her heart was in turmoil. It was impossible. How could something that had been concealed for sixteen years be uncovered?

Impossible, impossible...

Nanny Jiang was worried about being tricked and saying something that would only dig her own grave. After a moment's thought, she sighed deeply under Nanny Tang's sinister gaze and pretended to compromise: "I confess, I confess, isn't that okay?"

Because the two maids beside Nanny Tang, one holding a tongs and the other holding a silver needle, were already walking towards her!

Everyone was in the inner house, so they naturally knew what the clamps and silver needles were used for.

Nanny Jiang didn't want to suffer, so she thought of exposing some of her small mistakes, whether it was to delay time or to stabilize Nanny Tang. When Luo and the eldest lady came back, her life would be saved!

Anyway, no matter what, she would never reveal a word about the cat-substitute-for-the-prince incident even if she died.

Otherwise, not only would she be blamed for her death, but her son's only bloodline would also be implicated.

…

"Over the years, I have received gifts from the maids below, which total 39 taels of silver and more than seven strings of cash."

"Every year during the New Year shopping, I would inflate the prices of chicken, duck, fish and meat, so I would embezzle eighty or ninety taels of silver."

"besides……"

Nanny Tang listened to Nanny Jiang pouring out a lot of stories about her embezzlement, but the total amount was no more than two hundred taels.

When it came to the issue concerning the two young ladies, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Nanny Tang suddenly felt angry and shouted, "Enough! Who asked you to say this? Nanny Jiang, sixteen years ago, Madam and your daughter-in-law, Guo, gave birth on the same day. What happened that day? I urge you to tell the truth, or I will kill you today, and no one will be able to take your place!"

These words finally made a cold light flash across Nanny Jiang's eyes. She was already 70% to 80% certain that the old lady must have noticed what happened that year!

But can she say it? No! She can't!

Even death.

After a while, screams of pain were heard from the back room.

The sound lasted for a long time. Just before the old lady, Mrs. Luo and others returned home, Nanny Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and fainted. Only then did the hair-raising screams stop.

A servant in the mansion happened to pass by and heard the news. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the whole mansion was in a panic.

Nanny Tang was in no mood to explain, and she didn't even care whether her movements were too big.

When she heard that the old lady had returned, she looked unhappy and hurried back to Kangjitang.

Luo and Jiang Yilin sent the old lady over together.

Nanny Tang stepped forward and whispered in the old lady's ear, "That old hag is being stubborn and refusing to speak."

Nanny Tang looked terrified because she didn't get any information out of the question.

After all, Luo has returned, and it won’t be long before the news that Nanny Jiang was tied up and tortured by her will be exposed.

Even if the old lady stood up and took full responsibility at that time, as a mother-in-law, she arrested the housekeeper of her daughter-in-law for no reason and beat her to death. With Luo's temper, I'm afraid the entire Duke's Mansion would turn against her.

The key point is that this matter is not reasonable. If it is made public, the old lady’s reputation and prestige among the aristocratic families will be ruined!

Nanny Tang's anxiety was written all over her face. It was so abnormal that even Jiang Yilin, who was immersed in Madam Qi's praise, noticed it. She couldn't help but lean over to Mrs. Luo's ear to gossip, "Mother, what's going on? What happened to Nanny Tang that made her so nervous?"

In Jiang Yilin's understanding, both her grandmother Lian and Nanny Tang were calm and composed people who could remain calm even in the face of adversity.

But that's a nice way of putting it.

To put it bluntly, it is lifeless and without any of the sorrows or joys that a living person should have.
