When Nanny Wu arrived, Gu Yuanfang had already said something to the old lady, "Grandma, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"What's there to hide? I've watched you grow up. In your great-aunt's heart, you're just like her own granddaughter."
The old lady felt uncomfortable when she thought about Song's comfortable life outside. "If Song hadn't been so foolish, you would have been the master of our mansion long ago. You think about the lost girl every day. You have been fooled so many times over the years."
"Well, great-aunt, that's what I want to talk about."
Gu Yuanfang said with a worried look on her face, "My aunt must have been coaxed around by a woman over there, so she's reluctant to come back."
The old lady slammed the table and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Of course, I couldn't tell you earlier. Telling you earlier would be like filing a complaint. Gu Yuanfang knew that the old lady had spies in the Song family. After so long, she must know the whole situation there. It was only now that he mentioned it that he was worried, and it was out of his sincere heart.
Gu Yuanfang lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "I just said something suspicious to that girl at that time. My aunt was not happy to defend her, so my eldest cousin sent a carriage to take me back."
"They all like that girl very much. I'm afraid that if I tell my eldest cousin, he will find out and blame me. Seeing that someone with ulterior motives is about to succeed, I have to tell my great aunt and ask her to help them clear up the mystery."
The old lady sneered, "I have seen all kinds of people, but I still let a little girl succeed. Send someone to the other courtyard immediately and tell them to come back quickly."
On that day, the old lady sent her most capable nanny, Wu, to the villa without telling her three grandsons, so as to prevent them from blaming Gu Yuanfang.
Seeing Song's resolute attitude, Nanny Wu began to persuade her earnestly, "Madam, the Marquis is already on his way home. Why don't you go back early to prepare to welcome him?"
"Your face looks rosy now. The Marquis would be very happy if he knew," said Madam Wu. "You and the Marquis are so in love. We haven't seen each other for two years. You should go back and make some new clothes and jewelry."
"It's rare for the Marquis to come back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Madam this year. You should go back early."
There was no mention of Linlang at all. Before coming to the villa, Nanny Wu had found out that the girl was indeed close to the lady. They had just gotten married yesterday, and the groom who married into the lady's family was from the villa.
Nanny Wu was a shrewd person and would never do anything that would offend anyone. Besides, none of the four young masters were stupid enough to let their wives be deceived by a country girl.
Madam is just in poor health, not mentally ill, otherwise, she would have adopted Gu Yuanfang as her daughter long ago.
Nanny Wu could see it clearly, but since the old lady was being coaxed so well, she, as a servant, couldn't say much.
Song knew that the old lady had spies in the villa, and that they would tell her everything that happened here.
Having been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than 20 years, Song knew the old lady very well. She just couldn't bear to see her live a comfortable life for a few days and wanted her to go back and set the rules.
Back then, the old lady looked down on Song's background, thinking that a family of humble origin was not worthy of the Marquis. However, the Marquis was deeply in love with Song and would not marry anyone else. If he was not allowed to marry Song, he would become a monk.
Half of her son's hair was shaved off. Seeing that her son was going to become a monk, the old lady had no choice but to nod and agree to the marriage.
The old lady couldn't do anything to her son, so she always made trouble for the Song family for no reason. When little Lisheng fell into the water and disappeared, the Song family was called in to set the rules, which is why such a thing happened.
She also kept on giving people to the Marquis, and the Marquis was directly given to the old Marquis, which made the old lady even more dissatisfied with the Song family.
Song had complaints about the old lady. She could tolerate everything else, but she couldn't find her little Li Sheng.
She smiled and said to Nanny Wu, "We are an old married couple, so we don't need to bother with those things. There are plenty of clothes and jewelry in the house, so there is no need to be extravagant. Besides, the old lady is in charge of the house, so I feel at ease."
"This place is picturesque, and very pleasant. Since arriving here, I've felt much better, and my body is getting stronger. The Marquis is most worried about my health. In his last letter, he told me to stay here for a few more days and return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Song took the gift and stuffed it into Madam Wu's hands. "Please help me put in a few good words for the old lady. I know they're worried that I'll be deceived. Madam, if you see Linlang, you'll definitely like her."
Unexpectedly, the lady who had always been aloof had also learned to take care of the servants. It was the first time that Nanny Wu received a gift from the Song family, and it was very valuable.
She wanted to decline, but Song suppressed her, "Madam, you've come just in time. Let's meet the young couple together."
Mrs. Song asked Nanny Li to bring Linlang and Amu in. "I recovered so quickly, thanks to the medicine Linlang prescribed and her guidance."
Nanny Wu knew that Rong Linlang was an excellent doctor. After her husband who married into her family was disfigured by a fire, she not only cured him but also removed the scars on his face and neck, making him look like a normal person.
When she saw the young couple walking in side by side, Aunt Wu was amazed. She never expected that such a wonderful couple could be born in such a remote countryside. It was a feast for the eyes.
Amu is elegant, handsome, and a gentleman. He can surpass those young men in the capital who claim to be handsome men.
Looking at Linlang again, Nanny Wu's eyes widened. No wonder the lady's mood had improved. This girl looked so much like the lady when she was young, except that there was a more heroic look between her eyebrows.
Song was a beauty back then, but her family background was not very good, so many people came to her house to propose marriage.
Nanny Wu stared at Linlang, especially that smile, which looked more like Song when she was young.
