Yuan Zhao's words, under the banner of the old lady and upholding the airs of the hostess, naturally no one refuted her.
The servants in the house were shocked to realize that the mistress of the Wei Mansion was Yuan Zhao after all!
The old lady is old. If she dies one day and the master of the house doesn’t have a concubine, who will be the head of the Wei Mansion then?
Of course it’s Yuan Zhao.
The quick-witted servant also realized one thing.
What did Gan Tang and Bi Yun call Yuan Zhao just now?
"Madame Cui is my personal nanny, how could she not be dedicated?" The old lady was really frightened by Yuan Zhao's attitude today, and her chest kept heaving.
Yuan Zhao just glanced at her indifferently. If it were any other day, she would have asked the old lady about her health and then sent her various precious supplements.
Now, she turned her eyes away and pretended not to see.
[Old witch! I'm so pissed off at you!]
Yuan Zhao's phoenix eyes swept over the other servants in the room, taking in their expressions.
She sneered, "Madame Cui is useless. Who's willing to go and call someone over now?"
The maids looked at each other.
The old lady sitting above had a dark face and no one dared to move.
But after all, someone still had an idea, and a slightly older maid stood up and said, "Madam, this servant will go..."
Yuan Zhao nodded: "Gan Tang, you go with her."
"yes."
————
Soon, a room full of people knelt down in Songyan Hall.
Nanny Cui led the way, followed by the three wet nurses who were kneeling to take care of Yuan Zhizhi, as well as a group of maids and old women.
Gan Tang bowed his head beside Yuan Zhao and said, "Your Highness, everyone has been brought here."
The old lady then noticed Gan Tang's address to Yuan Zhao. At first she thought she had misheard due to poor hearing, but Gan Tang continued:
"These were the ones who took turns taking care of the young lady last night." She pointed at the people kneeling behind Matron Cui. "What does Your Highness wish to do?"
Now the old lady heard clearly that Gan Tang called her "Your Highness".
The old lady frowned, and her face became even darker.
Looking at the person kneeling in front of her, and thinking about what she did last night, she knew that Yuan Zhao would not let this matter go with her today.
Seeing that the situation was gradually beyond her control, the old lady couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
She thought that since Yuan Zhao was a sick and dying guy, she could just throw the little hoof out during the snow and do whatever she wanted with it. Then she could say that the child was missing and bring her good daughter back home to raise her.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhao actually brought the child back...
Did Yuan Zhao really know that it was she who threw that brat out?
But if that was the case, Yuan Zhao should have confronted her directly earlier and would not have taken so long.
Thinking of this, the old lady felt a little relieved.
At this time, Yuan Zhao spoke up: "The young lady has always been raised by the old lady. You are the ones who take care of the young lady. How do you explain that the young lady was not in Songyan Hall last night?"
Several maids and servants knelt there and said in unison: "This... we servants really don't know."
"I don't know?" Gan Tang snorted coldly, "The young lady is only full-term and needs to be fed every two hours. What do you wet nurses do for a living? You didn't even notice that the young lady is missing?"
The wet nurses immediately panicked and kept saying, "This... Madam, you don't know. The young lady has always been a small eater. Usually, after midnight, the young lady will not drink milk anymore, so we didn't notice it."
Another maid added: "Everything was normal when the young lady was feeding at midnight. The young lady was sleeping soundly and didn't want to eat, so it's not our fault..."
"Pa!" Gan Tang slapped the maid on the face, and then slapped the wet nurse next to her on the face with a "pa" sound.
"What? I asked you to take care of the young lady, and she got lost. Is it still her fault?" Gan Tang was already extremely angry, and he couldn't hold it in any longer when he saw Biyun slap the old lady just now.
When she thought about the things these people did without telling her lady, she wanted to slap their faces.
She immediately regained the aura of the princess's maid from many years ago.
After asking and answering like this, I looked at the calm expressions of the old lady and Aunt Cui.
Yuan Zhao knew that everyone in Songyan Hall had already agreed on the truth, and he would not be able to get any information from them.
She didn't intend to ask all of it, nor did she want to completely fall out with the old lady now. After learning a series of things last night, she knew that she had to plan slowly.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao turned around and smiled at the old lady in a flattering manner as usual:
"Mother, it's really not your daughter-in-law who wants to disturb your peace."
"Today, before daybreak, Gan Tang was on guard outside when he spotted a little white tiger entering Fengqi Courtyard. The tiger was holding Zhizhi in its mouth."
"Tell me, how bizarre is this? Zhizhi was raised in your yard, and in the middle of the night, the little white tiger brought her to my yard. Isn't this a mistake made by these servants?"
Hearing Yuan Zhao's words, the old lady and Aunt Cui were both stunned?
White Tiger? Where did this come from?
Wasn't it found at the side door?
Aunt Cui reacted quickly and said immediately, "That beast must have sneaked into Songyan Hall and carried the young lady away!"
"Yes!" "That's right!" The maids and old women immediately agreed when they saw the opportunity to shift the blame.
"Pa!" Biyun slapped Madam Cui on the left cheek again. "His Highness is speaking, how can you interrupt?"
Nanny Cui's left cheek also swelled up rapidly, and now her entire face was swollen very evenly.
Everyone around fell silent and looked at Gan Tang and Biyun.
I never knew that these two maids of Madam were so powerful!
