"So, you can't guess, can't see clearly, and want me to go back?" Madam Hai snorted coldly, "You know how I was forced to come back to recuperate. Then how could Meng let me go back? Even if I go back, those jobs have already been distributed by her. How can I pick them up again? You shouldn't have let me go against her in the first place. If you had been more restrained, maybe now..."
"How long has it been since Concubine Lian contacted you?" the woman in black suddenly asked.
Nanny Hai was stunned. "It was a month before the prince's wedding. Aunt Mo came to the mansion to see how the prince was preparing for the wedding. I've told you everything she said."
"Did she say this to you alone, or with Li Mancang?"
"They are all old people who have run the prince's mansion. Later, he left me and Li Mancang alone, saying that if there was anything, I could just pass the news to the palace through Li Mancang."
"Have you sent any message to the palace?"
Nanny Hai nodded, then shook her head. "I had Li Mancang tell Your Majesty about the things that happened after the princess married. I know all about it, and Li Mancang must have known about it too. I don't know how he told Your Majesty. Now let's see, even if Li Mancang didn't take it seriously, it wouldn't prevent Your Majesty from knowing about Meng's situation."
The woman in black stood up and walked around the table a few times. "Wait for my letter tomorrow. If the prince comes back, I will send someone to tell you and you go directly to find the prince. In one word, cry and tell him all about your friendship in the palace. Say that you know you are wrong and want to go back to serve in the mansion. Just say that you know the princess is angry and you only want to stay in the outer courtyard to serve the prince. Remember, even if you get your forehead broken, you have to make the prince agree to let you go back and stay in the outer courtyard. As for Baochun, if you can convince the prince together, it would be better if you keep her by your side. You must make it clear that Baochun is determined not to marry." After the woman in black finished speaking, she stared at Nanny Hai.
"Um, you promised me..."
"Don't worry. Since the first day of our cooperation, I haven't failed to fulfill any of my promises to you. And your youngest daughter's marriage is almost settled. You just have to wait for your son-in-law's tea."
When Madam Hai heard her say this, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Although our initial cooperation wasn't mutually agreed upon, over the years, we've achieved mutual benefit. And it hasn't harmed the prince in the slightest, so what doubts do you still have?"
Nanny Hai nodded. "No matter what, I've watched the prince grow up. It's been incredibly difficult for him. And Concubine Lian treats me well, even though they're not close. But if anything were to happen to the prince, I'd be so sorry to her."
"It seems that this may not be the case now." The woman in black said softly.
"What do you mean?" asked Mammy Hai.
The woman in black waved her hand. "You won't understand even if I tell you more. Just do what you are told."
After watching the woman in black walk out, Madam Hai's eldest daughter-in-law came into the room and asked, "Mother, do you trust her just like that?"
"What can we do if she doesn't believe us? We've already done so much for her, and we can't get out of this." Madam Hai sighed and raised her head. "As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another. Now that we've taken the wrong path, even if we want to turn back, how many people will give us a chance? Who will believe us? Let's go, keep going. She's right. She's not asking us to do anything against the will of heaven. We still have a year left as agreed with her. Once we get those things back, we won't be controlled by her anymore."
The eldest daughter-in-law sighed when she heard this and said, "You did it for Dalang in the first place."
Nanny Hai thought about her eldest son. "No matter what, now is the best time. Marry your younger sister this year. A year later, we will take your second brother and his family to find Dalang."
Nanny Hai walked to the window, and the thick parchment was rustling against the window due to the wind.
