Chapter 9: The Foster Mother



Wang lay back on the kang, a look of relief on her face. "Tell me what it was, it must have been Sister Wan who told her. The two sisters talked for so long that day, I was wondering what they had to say so much. It must be her. I said Sister Wan is a lucky star. After she came back, my life has been getting better and better, both physically and mentally."

Mother Guo looked at Wang, whose face was flushed, and nodded with a smile, "That's right. So, you don't have to worry about the Fourth Young Lady. Just like the Second Young Lady said, she has to grow up on her own. Only by experiencing something yourself can you learn from it and avoid making the same mistake next time."

"That's right, I have to let go. Sister Wan said I was holding Sister Qi too tightly. That's right, look, now that I let go, she has arranged everything for those girls."

Wang said with satisfaction, "Since they won't charge you, you should be more attentive to the food. No matter what the main kitchen makes, send out two dishes from the small kitchen of Shanzhi Hall every day, as well as fruits and snacks. Don't be stingy with the money, just send whatever is fresh in season. Also, make a cloak for each person. Make sure the leather inside is good, and the outside is not too flashy."

Mother Guo smiled and replied, "Don't worry about it. The Second Young Lady has already instructed me on all this."

"Sister Wan, have you thought of this?"

"Yes, not only that. In the afternoon, the second young lady asked the old servant to bring the maid to add a charcoal stove to the place where the others lived, and each of them was given a little maid to serve. A few maids were also added to the courtyard to provide them with chores."

Wang's face became even more proud, and then she sighed. This was originally something that Jiang, the eldest sister-in-law, should do, but now the unmarried young lady had to worry about it.

A bunch of short-sighted people were thinking about what happened today at Song's place. After the nanny went back to the yard to rest, Liu actually suggested that Meng Juan go with her. Humph, she is so shameless.

Meng Qi lay on the kang, thinking about the people today, who could be said to be old friends and new friends.

She had met the old ones in her past lives, especially the two women from the Rui Palace, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Li. For a long time, especially after she had made a few mistakes, these two had started following her around. Especially when she left the Rui Palace to visit friends, they would stand on her left and right, keeping a close eye on her.

I was really capable in my previous life. With these two people following me all the time, I even got the chance to meet Hong Zhe and caused those big disasters.

Meng Qi just smiled self-deprecatingly when she suddenly realized something was wrong. With such close scrutiny, how could there still be such opportunities? Unless...

Unless that wasn't an opportunity at all, but something they had deliberately created. It seemed like these two had been bribed. Even if not both, at least one of them had been, and that person had to be Hong Zhe.

Who was it specifically, or were they all? She had to find a way to find out. If she really didn't get the chance, she would just have to marry him first.

Nanny Sang was originally the managing nanny of Princess Yong'an. Later, for some unknown reason, she was transferred to the Queen's palace. Later on, she was highly trusted by the Queen, as if she had a daughter in that woman's palace.

Aunt Guan was a formidable figure, not because of her expressionless sternness, but because of the remarkable journey she took to reach her position. It was said that she was the descendant of a convicted official, and had spent over a decade doing menial labor in the imperial court, surviving her prime.

Later, she somehow managed to get to the Shanggong Bureau. Originally a maid, she worked her way up to the Shangyi Palace, a place that managed people. Her greatest strength was that, in the harem of fierce competition, she could make every concubine find no fault with her.

Of course, there was one exception: the hot-tempered Concubine Xiang. In her previous life, she had witnessed Concubine Xiang throw a bowl of tea in Aunt Guan's face in front of everyone after her request to replace a palace maid was rejected.

Meng Qishi had never expected that the palace would actually send these two governesses, especially Aunt Guan, who was in charge of so many palace maids in the harem, yet could spare a month to accompany her.

Was this the Queen's intention, or her mother-in-law's?

Meng Qi believed that it was Concubine Lian's intention. Although Concubine Lian was cold to Prince Rui, he was her own son after all. Two of her daughters-in-law had died before her, and now she had a third daughter-in-law with a bad reputation. It was impossible for her not to worry.

Meng Qi turned over. None of these four people were simple.

Thinking about the things he had thought about in his past life and the things that had happened in this life, Meng Qi felt a headache. It was all because of his stupidity in his previous life. He didn't discover and collect any useful information.

Headache.
