Chapter 131 You are not the uncle's biological daughter

Nanny Zhu shuddered slightly, then said fearfully, "What, what antidote? What is Mantuo Powder? I'm just an ordinary nanny in the mansion, I don't know what you're talking about."

Xie Yao keenly noticed her momentary trembling.

It seems that the antidote is in her hands.

"I'm going back to the bridal chamber in a hurry, so Nanny Zhu should tell you the truth."

Xie Yao narrowed her eyes, smiled faintly, and the tip of the dagger touched her throat.

"At the Winter Solstice family dinner, you detoxified your father in public. How could you not have the antidote?"

Nanny Zhu shrank her neck and tried to defend herself, "That was just a detoxifying pill that we always have on hand... I stumbled upon it by accident, by mistake."

She glanced behind Xie Yao, and suddenly saw Zhidai's purse torn into pieces on the ground, and glanced at the study that was messed up by Xie Yao, and her expression changed quietly.

I don’t know if this girl has found the secret room. If she hasn’t, it’s fine. But if she has, she must not be allowed to stay.

Even if she didn't find the secret room, the fact that she asked me for the antidote to Mantuo Powder meant that she already knew that Xu had been poisoned!

But the uncle knows nothing about this. Afterwards, he will definitely think that it was done by the Royal Eagle Division. This girl is really deep-minded and scary!

"Second Miss, you are not poisoned, what do you want those for..." Madam Zhu pretended to be calm and asked tentatively.

It was a pity that her arms were dislocated and her hands were tied in front of her body, so she couldn't do any small movements.

"Tell me, what should I do?" Xie Yao stood up and looked down at her condescendingly.

Nanny Zhu's eyes glared, and she stopped pretending to be confused: "It seems that the Second Miss knows about the Earl's affairs. Second Miss, don't forget that you are the daughter of the Earl's family. If the Earl falls, what good will happen to you?"

"Master's daughter?"

Xie Yao: "Madame Zhu is not old yet, why are you so confused? I am the Princess of Jingbei now, what happens to the Xie family is none of my business!"

Nanny Zhu was speechless. Looking at the undisguised hatred and coldness in her eyes, she secretly hated her in her heart. She should have sent people to the northern border to kill her. She was kept until now and has become a disaster.

She slowed down her tone and said, "Second Miss, no matter how bad the uncle is, he is still your father. Even if you are married, the uncle's family is still your mother's family. This will not change in any way."

"It turns out he is my father. If you don't know him, you would think he is my enemy."

Xie Yao sneered, with suppressed anger in her voice.

"I served in the border army for nine years. Did he ever care about me at all?"

She recalled her time in the North. At the beginning, she was in the Healthy Women's Camp. She was the youngest girl in the camp and the other sisters doted on her.

At that time, she didn't feel sad, but just trained blindly.

Later, he served as a personal soldier and scout beside the general, learned martial arts and fought battles, and arranged troops and battle formations. His life was very fulfilling.

She didn't feel sad, she just studied silently.

Until one New Year's Eve, the general gave her a letter from home.

The letter was well written, but she still saw a problem.

"General, don't lie to me. My father never calls me A'yao. He only calls me a dead girl." Xie Yao took the letter and found the general with a calm smile on her face.

The general showed a helpless expression and said, "It's my fault. I saw that it was New Year's Eve and the other children had letters from home, but you didn't. I could only practice sword skills hard to hide my sadness, so I resorted to this desperate measure... Ah Yao, you don't have to smile when you are unhappy in the future."

Only then did Xie Yao realize that this was what it meant to be sad, and that she had always been sad.

Later, she was even more sad when Xie Yan asked her why she had not replied to a single letter when he told her the news of her mother's death. In the nine years before that, her mother had written many letters home and even sent people to deliver personal items to her.

It was Xie Mingan who blocked his mother's external contacts, causing her to misunderstand her mother for so many years!

Xie Yao's eyes seemed to have hardened into ice. "My mother was poisoned by him and tortured to death. Yet, he embraced Aunt Sun and took in two or three concubines, reveling every night."

Nanny Zhu was still trying to be stubborn, but at this moment, Xie Yao's fingers trembled with hatred, and the dagger that was originally at her neck moved a few inches away and swept across her cheek.

But with just a slight scratch, a few drops of blood appeared on Nanny Zhu's face.

She was shocked, and her eyes showed an even more panicked expression than when the dagger was placed at her throat just now.

Xie Yao immediately caught the panic in her eyes, and continued to gesture at her face with the dagger, his eyes full of understanding.

"Madame Zhu actually cares about this."

A woman, with a knife at her throat, is about to die, but is still defending others, but is afraid of getting her face cut. There is only one possibility.

"That's right. After all, Madam Zhu relies on this face to be affectionate with my father."

Nanny Zhu's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled: "Second Miss, you, what nonsense are you talking about! This old servant and the uncle are innocent!"

"Oh, am I talking nonsense."

Xie Yao walked around her and made half a circle.

"If I remember correctly, you are a maid in Uncle Xie's room. You are seven years older than my father, just seven years. You know everything about this study, the secrets within it, and the poisoning of my mother."

"So it's because you've been together that he trusts you so much."

Xie Yao felt a little nauseous: "Sometimes, I really don't know what the difference is between my father and the rabbits doing the flesh trade in brothels."

He feeds women with his body and eats their free food in exchange for these women falling for him one after another.

She had originally just been thinking of Zhidai and said it casually, but when she saw Nanny Zhu's expression as if struck by lightning, she knew that she had guessed right.

Nanny Zhu was like being slapped in the face. After a while, she roared with red eyes:

"You silly girl, how dare you say that about Grandpa? Everything I did was for Grandpa. He suffered so much injustice from Grandpa in the past. He knelt in the snow in the cold winter to read, and his legs were rotten. I was the only one who felt sorry for him and was the only one who accompanied him. What do you know!"

"It seems that the deep love between you two started with my grandfather."

Xie Yao suddenly asked, her eyes sharp as a thorn: "He died so quickly, is it because you feel sorry for him and he feels sorry for you?"

Nanny Zhu froze, her eyes evading: "Old uncle died of illness, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, blame him."

"Since he died of illness, and my grandfather and father were both kind and filial to him, why would they light soul-calming incense in the secret room?" Xie Yao smiled.

Nanny Zhu was completely panicked. Xie Yao really knew about the secret room. Not only did she want an explanation and an antidote for her mother, she also wanted to destroy the uncle and kill the entire Xie family!

"I do have the antidote. It's right here with me right now."

Nanny Zhu's eyes hardened, and she suddenly admitted that there was an antidote, and then she also laughed.

"Second Miss, do you think Xu is a good person? She treated you like a knife and deceived you for so long, and you still have to find an antidote for her. How stupid! Hahaha, even this old servant feels sorry for you!"

She looked at Xie Yao fearlessly, deliberately showing a look of sadness and pity on her face.

"At this point, I will not hide anything from you, Second Miss. You are not the uncle's biological daughter at all!"

"Oh?" Xie Yao tightened her grip on the dagger and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

She used all her strength to swallow the word "OK".
