"What did you say? It's Yunzhi?" Madam Xu's face grew increasingly grim, her eyes seeming to blaze with fury.
She had long hated Yunzhi to the core, and now Yunzhi had even pushed her precious daughter into the water. She wished she could tear Yunzhi to pieces and shred her body into countless fragments.
Sure enough, she's a slut, born to bring misfortune to her daughter.
Thinking of this, Madam Xu could no longer sit still. After seeing her daughter drink the medicine, she immediately left the Yun residence with the nanny beside her.
"Madam, where are we going?" the nanny asked, looking puzzled. Miss Yunzhu is still ill, why is Madam not staying with her but going out?
"Go settle the score with that bitch," Xu said angrily. In her eyes, no matter how outstanding Yunzhi was, she was still a bitch.
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" The old woman hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Yunzhi's personality has changed a lot recently, and she's also engaged to the Regent. We might not get the better of her if we go over like this."
"What do you mean? My daughter has been harmed so badly by her, and I'm not allowed to go and demand an explanation from her?" Madam Xu looked at the nanny with a hostile expression, as if to say, "You're my person, how dare you speak up for that bitch?"
The old woman felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze, but she had no choice but to advise, "Madam, this old servant thinks we should investigate the matter thoroughly before making any further statements. Since Miss Yunzhi became engaged to the Regent, she generally doesn't pay much attention to people. The fact that she was able to go boating on the lake with Miss Yunzhu today is suspicious in itself. Moreover, it is said that there are other young ladies present."
"You mean, the incident of Zhu'er falling into the water might not have been caused by Yunzhi?"
“This old servant didn’t mean that, but I think it’s better to investigate thoroughly. If it’s not Miss Yunzhi, not only will Madam’s trip be in vain, but she might even turn around and accuse her. You know how much the Regent protects her. If the Regent finds out she’s been wronged, it might implicate Master and Young Master. You know the An family’s example, don’t you? They used to be a respectable Marquis’s mansion, but now they live in a place that’s even worse than ours.”
Madam Xu was initially furious, wishing she could kill Yunzhi. But after listening to the nanny's analysis, she realized it made sense.
Especially when the old woman mentioned the An family. Now everyone in the circle is laughing at the An family and Wang Shi. They had a perfectly good title of Marquis's wife, but they had to do it all for a woman. In the end, they not only lost their title, but also their house.
If it were them, they would definitely choose a noble title. As long as they have power, they'll never have trouble finding women. I don't know if Wang Shi and An Xiuyuan have lost their minds; how could they possibly choose a woman?
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Madam Xu had calmed down.
She was genuinely afraid that Xu Shi might do something foolish in a moment of impulsiveness. However, Miss Yunzhu's maid was no better; she spoke unclearly and incoherently.
Based on her understanding of Miss Yunzhi, even if Yunzhu's drowning was related to her, she wouldn't be the one who initiated it. It's more likely that Miss Yunzhu wanted to cause Miss Yunzhi to fall into the water, but Miss Yunzhi turned the tables on her, and in the end, it was Yunzhu who fell into the water.
Xu quickly sent people to inquire about what had happened. After learning the details, her expression turned grim.
However, although Yunzhi was passive, her daughter's drowning was indeed related to her, and she deserved an explanation. Therefore, she still boarded the carriage and headed to Yunzhi's villa, determined to fight for the best interests of her daughter.
