Chapter 474 A Big Change in Temperament
"I have been serving the Young Master and the Young Lady since they were little, and have watched them grow up. However, I never expected that the Young Master's temperament would change so much after he came to the capital..." When the nanny said this, tears could not stop flowing down.
She continued.
"In the past, the Young Master was a kind and gentle person, and he was quite caring towards me. But since he came to the capital, he seemed to have become a different person, becoming cold and ruthless, and no longer as kind to the people around him as before. I really can't understand why the Young Master has become like this..."
The more the nanny spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Thinking back to her experiences over the years, she burst into tears.
"A few days ago, the young master suddenly fell into trouble. Rumor has it that he was framed by some people with ulterior motives, which caused him to have some subtle problems in that aspect. Naturally, I was worried and wanted to help him solve his problems. So, I asked around privately, trying to find some effective prescriptions, hoping to help the young master recover. However, fate is so teasing that before I found a suitable opportunity to express my loyalty to the young master, he actually came to me on his own initiative." As
the nanny spoke, she recalled what happened that day.
"That day, the young master had a terribly gloomy face. As soon as he entered the room, he questioned me, asking if my daughter had done anything to me. I was shocked to hear that. I had no idea why the young master said that. Did someone slander me? But my daughter and I are both poor people. We are loyal to the young master. How could we do something to hurt him?"
"I carefully asked the young master who told me that, but he took my daughter away without giving me any explanation."
"I feel bitter in my heart, knowing that no matter how much I explain, it will be in vain. However, if the young master is really disabled, what good will it bring to me and my daughter? We just want to make a living in this big house, how could we do such a thing that harms others and ourselves?" "
After all, we are also following the young master to make a living." The nanny said, "Now the daughter is locked up in the palace prison, and I don't know what kind of grievances she has suffered..." Her voice was full of helplessness and worry. How could she endure the suffering of prison? Whose fault is it? Who can come to do justice for them?
Hearing the nanny's narration, Qin Qixuan's brows were locked, and he had a general idea of the matter in his heart. All the developments were consistent with his previous guesses.
However, he thought that An Yuesheng would be a little cautious and would not dare to act recklessly, but he did not expect that he would be so reckless and directly imprison people in prison. He regarded the palace as his own backyard. This absurd behavior was simply jaw-dropping. Qin Qixuan sneered in his heart. Does An Yuesheng really think of himself as a local emperor?
Qin Qixuan knew that the nanny's family was implicated innocently. They suffered this unprovoked disaster because of their own fate, which made him feel very guilty. He made up his mind to rescue them from prison no matter what.
However, before taking action, he still needed to understand the situation further. He turned to the nanny and asked solemnly.
"I already knew about this. However, from what you just said, it seems that you have also noticed the changes in An Yuesheng? Since he came to the capital, has he become a different person, completely different from before?"
The nanny was stunned when she heard Qin Qixuan's question. She didn't expect Qin Qixuan to capture this point so keenly. Indeed, she had long felt that An Yuesheng had become elusive, and was completely different from the young master she knew before. However,
how could she dare to talk about such things casually? But at this moment, facing Qin Qixuan's inquiry, she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said softly.
"Yes, the young master... is indeed different from before."
This was the first time someone discussed this issue with her in depth. To be honest, although she vaguely felt that the young master's temperament had changed significantly in recent days, she did not think deeply about the reasons. In her
opinion, perhaps the temptation of this prosperous world was too great, and wealth and glory were right in front of them, so people's hearts would naturally change. She thought that this was just a natural reaction of the young master in the process of adapting to the new environment and new identity.
However, Qin Qixuan's words at this moment made her start to re-examine this issue. She realized that the change of the young master did not seem to be just due to the change of environment. From childhood to adulthood, the young master has always been an upright person, deeply influenced by General An's teachings. How could he become so strange and alienated in just one month after arriving in the capital?
"Speaking of which, the young master's current behavior is simply like being possessed by a demon." Nanny murmured to herself, with a flash of confusion and worry in her eyes, "He is completely different from before, which is really incomprehensible."
Qin Qixuan keenly captured Nanny's reaction, which was exactly what he wanted.
He knew that Nanny had begun to doubt An Yuesheng's changes in her heart. After all, no matter how much An Yuesheng imitated the previous owner, it would be difficult to escape the eyes of the old man who had served him since childhood. What's more, the current An Yuesheng has no similarities with the previous owner at all.
As time went by, An Yuesheng seemed to have gradually relaxed his vigilance. He was no longer as humble and docile as when he first came to the capital, but became more and more presumptuous and arrogant.
Qin Qixuan saw all of this.
Qin Qixuan took a deep breath and spoke slowly. His voice was low and magnetic, and seemed to carry an indescribable deep meaning.
"A few days ago, I had the honor of hearing about a mysterious skill from Miaojiang." He paused deliberately and looked directly into the eyes of the nanny. "I heard that there is a secret technique that can peel off a person's flesh and make an exquisite human skin mask. This mask can fit perfectly on another person's face, and it is almost impossible to tell whether it is real or fake, as if that is his original face."
As soon as Qin Qixuan finished speaking, the nanny's face turned pale in an instant. Although she had experienced many ups and downs, such a statement still made her feel terrified.
During the years she lived in the mansion, she thought she had seen all kinds of intrigues and conspiracies, but the scene described by Qin Qixuan now was far beyond her imagination.
She was not a stupid person, so she could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Qin Qixuan's words. He was implying that the current An Yuesheng was no longer the young master she had watched grow up, but someone had used this terrible secret technique and put on a human skin mask to impersonate him.
