"Sister, you can't be left unattended in this situation."
"Mammy, go home and pick out a few capable maids."
Leng Ningxiang was a fiery-tempered person. She said she would repay the Gu family for saving her son. She couldn't bear to see her benefactor in this state.
"No, that's not necessary, sister. I have my second son to take care of me."
Wang Yanran quickly stopped the nanny and thanked Leng Ningxiang.
"Sister, there's really no need."
Yesterday, Gu Jinan and Gu Jinguo returned home and talked about their work at the Ji family.
Leng Ningxiang was able to let Gu Jinan be the shopkeeper, perhaps because he was indeed capable, but Gu Jinguo was considered stupid in the eyes of others, so how could ordinary people ask him to accompany their children to study?
Although Gu Jinguo saved the Ji family's child, it was just a piece of cake. How could he feel at ease to take so many benefits from others?
As they were talking, Gu Jinbang came back and was stunned to see someone at home.
"Second brother, this is Madam Ji, hurry up and pour tea for Madam Ji."
Gu Jinbang bowed to Leng Ningxiang and quickly went to the kitchen to pour some tea.
Leng Ningxiang discovered that the Gu brothers were extremely polite and did not seem like they came from an ordinary family.
"Sister, why are you traveling so quickly after giving birth? Where's your husband?"
Leng Ningxiang felt that this man was too irresponsible. He let his wife, who had just given birth, travel without even a maid or a servant.
"Husband..."
These two words made Wang Yanran smile bitterly.
She did not hide anything and told what happened to her.
Mrs. Ji is not an ordinary person. Even if she doesn't say it, she will know her affairs sooner or later.
Perhaps she had been holding it in for too long, and now that she had someone to talk to, Wang Yanran finally expressed all the anger in her heart.
"Hateful, truly hateful. How could he treat you like that?"
Leng Ningxiang was furious. Wang Yanran must be an excellent woman to have such an outstanding son, but she was treated in such an inhumane way.
"I'll write a letter to my father right now and ask him to impeach Gu Jinyu!"
"Yanran, don't worry. My father is a general and a veteran of three dynasties. The emperor will definitely accept his impeachment!"
Wang Yanran was touched, but still refused.
"Madam Ji, Yanran was just stupid before and was deceived by him for many years. Now Yanran only wants to kill her enemy with her own hands and doesn't want to use someone else's hand."
Now Gu Jinyu is the Shangshu, and Shen Yunyun's family is the Xiangfu. Their current positions are difficult to shake even for the generals. If the generals write a letter, they will probably retaliate.
The general is old and shouldn't get involved in this mess.
"Then do you have any solution?"
Leng Ningxiang looked at her worriedly, with heartache in her eyes.
As a woman herself, she understood too well that childbirth and confinement are the most vulnerable times for a woman. However, Wang Yanran in front of her not only had her childbirth ruined, but was also hunted down while traveling during her confinement period.
"I want to raise Fubao first, and then slowly plan with the children."
Leng Ningxiang nodded: "Fortunately, all your children are good."
Speaking of children, Wang Yanran's depression dissipated a lot.
I turned my head to look at Fubao, and saw that the little baby had widened his eyes and was looking at Leng Ningxiang with blinking eyes.
"Mother, mother, tell my aunt to be careful. Someone put poison in their water tank. Even a drop of that poison will pierce her intestines and rupture her stomach. My aunt is a good person, please don't let her die."
Wang Yanran's heart suddenly tightened. How could she tell Madam Ji that someone had poisoned their water tank? If she asked, how would she answer?
Just at this moment, Gu Jinbang walked in apologetically.
"Mrs. Ji, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Our water tank has gotten dirty, so I went to get water from the well outside. That's why it's slow."
Wang Yanran's eyes lit up. Leng Ningxiang and the others had just returned from the capital to visit their relatives. She had mentioned earlier that they had only recently arrived. People in western Hunan often didn't change the water in their water tanks year-round, but for people in the capital, keeping water tanks clean was very important.
"Mrs. Ji, have you cleaned your water tank? I heard that in Xiangxi, water tanks are often not cleaned. Not only are there impurities in the water tank, but there are also many small insects. It looks very dirty."
Leng Ningxiang was a bit of a germaphobe, and she got goosebumps when she heard this.
"Oh my god, is this water still drinkable?"
"No, I have to go back and see for myself when I get back. I have to personally watch them wash the water tank several times."
Wang Yanran was afraid that the murderer might be doing something secretive, so she continued.
"It is said that raising two grass carps in a water tank can purify the water quality. Madam Ji can also try it."
Leng Ningxiang took note of it, thought about it, and then said to the nanny beside her.
"Mammy, you should go back and keep an eye on it yourself. Don't forget to raise two grass carp."
Mammy is an elderly person who has been with her for many years and is the most trustworthy one.
After the nanny left, Leng Ningxiang's gaze fell on Fubao.
Just now, the child kept looking at her, and his little eyes were so cute that they almost melted her heart.
In her life, she really wanted to have a little daughter, but unfortunately her body did not allow it. Now she can only watch other people's daughters rejoice.
However, she had also seen many newborn daughters, but none of them were as pretty as Fubao.
"Can I hold Fubao?"
She couldn't help but speak.
Wang Yanran handed the child over, and little Fubao smiled at her.
"Ah, she's smiling at me!"
Leng Ningxiang's heart softened, and she hurriedly took out a jade pendant from her arms and hung it around Fubao's neck.
"Mrs. Ji, this is unacceptable!"
She came from a wealthy family, so naturally this jade pendant was not an ordinary item. How could they accept it if they didn't do anything for it?
"Why can't I use it? I prepared this jade pendant for the sweet and soft little girl. It's a pity that I can't upgrade it in this lifetime, so the little girl will naturally be gone.
Now I have a connection with Fubao, and I feel very happy to give it to her.
If you stop me, my joy today will be gone!"
Since she said so, Wang Yanran did not stop her.
When they have money in the future, they can give equally valuable gifts in return.
"Wow, Auntie is so nice. This jade pendant is warm and Fubao feels so comfortable!"
After wearing the jade pendant, Fubao's spirits were obviously much better.
Wang Yanran was pleasantly surprised and became even more grateful to Leng Ningxiang.
Fubao was happy and acted cute towards Leng Ningxiang, which made Leng Ningxiang very happy.
Just at this moment, the nanny who had been sent out earlier came back with a bad look on her face.
"Madam, the water tank has been poisoned!"
If the water in the jar was drunk, their entire household would die.
Leng Ningxiang took a deep breath and sincerely thanked Wang Yanran.
"Thank you so much today, sister. If it weren't for you, our Ji Mansion would be..."
Wang Yanran quickly said, "This is also a blessing in disguise. Sister, it's more important to deal with the matters at the mansion. Please go back quickly."
Leng Ningxiang nodded. It was a matter of life and death, so she really had to go back and deal with it as soon as possible.
