Chapter 513 It's Her
Nanny Wan came over very quickly. She walked at a moderate pace, with her back straight but shoulders slightly hunched, her head always bowed respectfully, and her hands folded in front of her abdomen. The first thing she did when she entered the room was to pay her respects in a proper manner.
"This old servant has seen the Madam and the Concubine."
Mother Xu didn't know what her daughter was going to do, and now that Nanny Wan was here, she could only watch and do what she wanted.
"It's like this. The old lady hasn't been in good health recently, and everyone knows it. She may not have enough energy. I'm also worried that some people in the yard will become restless, so I called you over to ask about the recent situation of the old lady."
Aunt Wan was about to reply when Xu Muhua suddenly said, "Raise your head and talk."
Aunt Wan was stunned for a moment, then raised her head obediently, looked at the two of them, and then quickly lowered her head. She began to answer Xu's mother's words honestly and recounted the situation in the old lady's yard. Xu's mother asked a question from time to time, and she answered very well. There
was a bird cage on the side. The birds in it had always been very quiet, but now they started to cry, jumping up and down in the cage, chirping and making a lot of noise!
Xu's mother looked at it with some worry, "What happened? Why did it suddenly start to make a noise?"
"It was her, it was her, it was this person who opened the window that night, lifted the old lady's quilt and made the old lady catch a cold and get sick! Catch her quickly, catch her!"
The bird was screaming wildly in the cage, like a madman.
Xu Muhua stood up and walked over to pick up the bird cage, "Okay, okay, I know, don't be afraid, it's okay, I will take care of it, you just be good."
The bird that was still screaming wildly a moment ago really stopped and became quiet and obedient.
The servants in the house saw this scene and couldn't help but look at their eldest daughter with admiration.
The eldest daughter is really amazing, as if those animals can really understand what she says. The eldest lady seemed to particularly like animals. No matter what kind of animals they were, they would behave well in front of her.
Ah, I remembered the tigers that the eldest lady raised.
Ever since the eldest lady married into the East Palace and brought the tiger cub and the eldest master in, they haven't seen them. I don't know if they are used to being in the East Palace, or if anyone will bully them. After all, people in the palace are difficult to get along with, and they have a lot of things on their minds!
On the other hand, if the eldest lady likes animals so much, will there be animals like mice that go looking for her? Will she be afraid?
Many maids' thoughts have begun to drift.
Mother Xu was used to it, and waited until she sat back down before asking, "What's the matter?"
Xu Muhua smiled and said, "It's nothing. Maybe it's my first time here, grandma, and I'm not used to it."
After that, she looked at Nanny Wan without blinking, and Nanny Wan started to get nervous. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Nanny."
Nanny Wan said in fear and trepidation, "The concubine is in a serious condition. This is what I should do."
"You will have to continue to worry about her in the days to come."
"It should be."
As soon as Nanny Wan left, Xu Muhua stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go in and take a look."
Without waiting for Mother Xu to answer, she quickly walked towards the inner room, looking very anxious.
"Hey, this child, why is he coming and going all the time!"
After entering the inner room, Xu Rui sat aside, while Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan sat on the low stool beside the bed and talked to the old lady in a low voice. The old lady laughed from time to time.
Xu Muhua moved to Xu Rui's side without a trace. Xu Rui noticed it and looked up at her inexplicably.
She winked at him, indicating that she had something to say.
Xu Rui raised his eyebrows, glanced at the old lady who was being coaxed by the two siblings, stood up, walked forward, and asked behind the screen in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Brother, you should find someone to control the Wan Ma Ma in grandmother's yard now."
"Why?"
Xu Rui frowned in confusion.
"I'll tell you the details later. You just need to control the person first. Don't let him commit suicide. We need to interrogate him."
After hearing what she said, Xu Rui did not continue to ask questions, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it now."
Xu Muhua smiled.
This is the trust between relatives. Even if there are doubts and puzzles in his heart, the eldest brother still chooses to believe her directly instead of questioning her.
Xu Rui went out to do things, and Xu Muhua returned to the house and sat down aside. With a smile, he watched Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan make the old lady happy.
Originally thought that grandma just caught a cold and got sick accidentally, but she didn't expect it to be man-made! It's really hateful! The old lady is already old, and she suffered an unexpected disaster. She suffered in vain.
Just like the imperial physician said, even if we can get through this crisis safely, we are still injured and may be more prone to accidents in the future.
After a while, Xu Muhua interrupted the three people's chat.
"Okay, we have been chatting for a while. Let grandma rest first! If grandma is in good spirits in the evening, she can sit in the yard. It is not conducive to recovery to stay in the house all the time."
Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan stood up.
"Grandma, you rest first, we will come to see you later."
"Okay, okay, you guys go and do your own things. Grandma has someone to serve her here, don't worry."
Xu Muhua opened the window on the side and asked someone to bring a small screen to put in front of the window. In this way, the air can be ventilated and there is no need to worry about blowing the old man.
The old lady also felt much better with the window open, as if her breathing was much smoother.
The group left the old lady's yard, and Xu Rui came back halfway.
He first looked at Xu Muhua, silently asking her what to do next.
Xu's mother caught the eye contact between the two siblings, and thinking of the eldest sister's sudden departure just now, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart. What
are these two siblings doing again?
"Jinyu, you and An Nan go back to your own yard first."
In the past, the two were very obedient, but this time they refused.
Especially Xu Nan, who was angry, "Sister, my second sister and I are also part of the family. We are no longer children! Sister, you can't hide everything from my second sister and me!"
He knew that the eldest sister was doing this for his and the second sister's own good, but could the eldest sister protect them temporarily, or could she protect them forever? Would the eldest sister have to stand in front of them and let them hide
whenever something happened in the future? He also wanted to participate in the affairs of this family, instead of hiding behind his eldest brother and eldest sister like he did now, and only stand up again when the danger and trouble were over.
