The next day.
Nanny Gu arrived at the Wei Mansion.
The Wei family wasn't considered a prominent family in Beijing, but the current patriarch of the Wei family was a doctor in charge of the military storage warehouses at the Ministry of Revenue. He was in charge of the military reserves, the collection of rents and taxes, etc.
It can be regarded as a very lucrative department.
Old master Wei Wenhao, who was having breakfast, frowned when he heard the servant's report. He looked at his old wife beside him and said, "You should know about the Shen family's affairs. Now His Majesty has issued an edict. A Zhao has returned home and has been conferred the title of county lord. You should ask someone to persuade Lian'er to treat her well and not to do anything bad with those confused people in the Shen family." Lian'er is Wei's nickname.
The Shen family's affairs.
Now he is known to everyone in Beijing and is extremely despised.
The Wei family cannot end up like that.
Madam Wei didn't care much when she heard this. She nodded perfunctorily, "I understand. Master, don't worry. I will teach Lian'er well. Don't worry."
Wei Wenhao frowned.
I'm really worried about my wife.
In fact, Wei Wenhao did not agree with Wei's move to the Yang family. After all, Yang Tiejiang had a wife at that time, and it would not be good for his reputation to let his daughter live there.
But my wife and sister insisted on doing so.
I didn't expect that something really happened.
If it weren't for what happened back then, perhaps the relationship between the Wei and Yang families wouldn't have become so strained. After all, just based on the relationship with Old Madam Yang, Wei Wenhao could be considered Yang Zhao's uncle.
But because of Webster.
Not to mention the Yang brothers and sisters, even his nephew Yang Tiejiang had almost cut off contact with him, and he was too embarrassed to face the Yang brothers and sisters and nephew. Over the years, he could only ask his wife to persuade Wei to take better care of him.
but……
He heard something recently.
It is said that Yang Zhao was able to marry into the Shen family because of Wei's manipulation.
Wei Wenhao was both angry and annoyed.
But now he is powerless. He can't go to the Yang family to teach that unfilial daughter a lesson!
Now, early in the morning, Wei sent the nanny back.
I knew something was wrong at first glance.
"Forget it, you'd better let that old woman in. It's a good opportunity for me to listen to what Lian'er has to say." Wei Wenhao said.
Madam Wei frowned and said, "Master, don't you still have to report to the Minister of State? Don't delay. Lian'er's matter is nothing more than the affairs of women in the inner court. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade her to uphold the virtues of a woman and love her children."
Wei Wenhao wanted to say something else.
But thinking that he did have some important matters to attend to today, he could only give a few more instructions and leave.
"Go and bring the person in."
Having said that, Madam Wei instructed the maid she trusted to guard the door.
After entering the room, Nanny Gu bowed to Madam Wei and said, "Greetings, Madam."
Old Madam Wei looked at Nanny Gu, whose hair was all white, frowned slightly and asked, "Why haven't I seen you with Lian'er before? Where is Nanny Gui?" Usually, the ones who came back were the Nannies or maids that came with Wei's dowry, but most of the time it was Nanny Gui who came back.
Nanny Gu, this is the first time Madam Wei has met her.
Nanny Gu lowered her head slightly and said, "Old Madam, this old servant was given to you by the old lady. My surname is Gu, and I have been helping with the housework in your backyard. A while ago, the eldest daughter reorganized the household, and Nanny Gui fell off a cliff and died on her way to being sold. That's why Madam brought this old servant to serve you..."
"What? Aunt Gui died?"
Mrs. Wei was shocked.
She had specially trained Nanny Gui, not only to serve Wei, but also...
Madam Wei's eyes flashed as she thought of something. She fixed her gaze on Nanny Gu and said, "What do you mean by tidying up the household? And why did Nanny Gui have to be sold out? Tell me everything that happened, in detail."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Gu told the whole story in a proper manner, from Xier's disappearance to what happened yesterday.
"absurd!"
Madam Wei was so angry that she slammed the table, her face livid. "A woman who has been married out, actually wants to take charge of the household chores back home? How dare she do this to her grandmother and the people around her mother?"
Gu Ma Ma said hesitantly, "Madam, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Madam Wei glanced at Nanny Gu and said, "Speak."
Nanny Gu took a step forward and lowered her voice deliberately:
"This old servant thinks that the eldest daughter must be holding a grudge against Madam. In order to get the eldest daughter to agree to marry into the Shen family, Madam first threatened the eldest daughter with the former Madam's belongings, saying that the former Madam promised the eldest daughter a marriage into the Shen family in order to save her life. It seems that she then secretly forged the former Madam's suicide note, and with the help of the old Madam, the eldest daughter finally agreed to marry."
"The eldest lady must have discovered something, so before she severed her ties with the Shen family, she used Miss Xier's incident to disrupt the Marquis's residence and purged everyone around the Madam and the Old Madam."
"If this old slave and the other old maid weren't given to us by the old lady, and if we weren't so old, the young lady would have sold us out."
"Old Madam, I am old and childless, so I don't have much to live for. But Madam, you have treated me very well over the past ten years, and I really can't bear to see you suffer any loss."
At this point, Nanny Gu knelt and bowed: "I hope that the old lady can have pity on the lady and support her, otherwise the eldest lady will definitely bully the lady. Now she is the one who betrayed the lady, and I am afraid that in the future she will find a reason to divorce the lady on behalf of her father..."
“She dares!”
Old Madam Wei slammed the table in anger.
