Chapter 475 Replacement?
Once this thought came up, it grew wildly in the nanny's heart like a weed. She felt palpitations. This matter was too horrifying. She had never experienced such a thing before, and she had never thought that she would be involved in such a bizarre incident.
For a moment, the nanny couldn't accept this fact. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Qin Qixuan coughed twice that the nanny came back to her senses, her face pale.
"You mean, the young master was replaced by this human skin mask?" The nanny's voice trembled with disbelief and astonishment. Her face was as pale as paper, obviously she was greatly shocked. Every word was difficult to say, as if she had used up all her strength. She stared at Qin Qixuan, hoping to catch some clues from his face to confirm or deny her guess.
Qin Qixuan looked at the nanny's eyes that were full of expectation and fear. He took a deep breath and nodded slowly. Although the nod was slight, it hit the nanny's heart like a heavy hammer. She knew that this nod represented a cruel and ruthless fact. After Qin
Qixuan nodded, the nanny's face became even paler. Her body swayed slightly, her eyes went dark, and she almost fell to the ground. But she held on, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with her trembling hands, as if this could give her some strength.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited mood, and then mustered up the courage to ask again.
"Excuse me, sir, that young lady..." Her voice was full of worry and expectation, as if she was waiting for a verdict.
Qin Qixuan looked at the nanny's expectant eyes and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
He nodded heavily, confirming the nanny's guess.
The moment the nanny saw Qin Qixuan nod, it seemed as if all her strength was drained away. She fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief on her face. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she murmured to herself.
"How dare they! The young lady is still so young, and the young master is at a good age to make achievements, they..." At this point, she was already in tears. For her, this news was like a bolt from the blue, making it impossible for her to accept this cruel reality.
After all, she watched the two children grow up, and in the mind of the nanny, they were not only the objects of her service, but more like her own relatives. Therefore, when Qin Qixuan told her the horrifying truth, she really found it difficult to accept it for a while. Her heart was full of confusion and puzzlement. Why would those people be so cruel to do such a cruel thing to two children?
In fact, the nanny was not completely without a premonition of what Qin Qixuan said. In their daily interactions, she had already noticed some changes in the young master and the young lady. Their words, deeds, and even some subtle habits were significantly different from before. But she never expected that the truth behind this would be so shocking and chilling.
Mammy had no doubts about this guess. Those completely different behaviors from before now emerged in Mammy's mind one by one, and the more she thought about it, the more shocked she felt. Yes, the young master and the young lady were no longer the two people she was familiar with.
"My lord," the nanny's voice was pleading, "I know you must have a way to deal with them. These two people are so crazy that they did such a thing to my young master and young lady. How can I explain to General An when I go back..." Her eyes were slightly moist, and it was obvious that the grief in her heart was beyond words.
Suddenly, the nanny seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Qin Qixuan eagerly, "My lord, we can tell these things to Concubine An! Concubine An has a noble status in the palace, and she is smart and wise. She will definitely find a way. After all, they are her own brothers and sisters. She will never sit idly by and will definitely help the young master and young lady to get revenge."
The nanny's tone was full of expectation, as if she saw the light of hope.
But what she didn't expect was that although her proposal seemed reasonable, Qin Qixuan was not convinced by her at all. He looked at Nanny calmly, and even revealed a trace of pity in his deep eyes.
This pity seemed to be sympathy for Nanny's innocence and ignorance of the cruel truth that was about to be revealed. Nanny saw this scene, and her heart sank suddenly, thinking that things might not be good.
Sure enough, Qin Qixuan's next words were like a bolt from the blue, which made Nanny stunned.
"You are too naive," Qin Qixuan said in a calm and firm voice, "How could Concubine An not know that the people in front of her were not her brothers or sisters? Do you think that a concubine in the palace would not have such insight?"
The nanny's expression suddenly became stunned, as if she could not understand what Qin Qixuan said. She murmured, "My lord, what do you mean by this..." Her voice revealed deep confusion and uneasiness.
Qin Qixuan looked at the nanny, his eyes became deep and serious, "Let me ask you, An Yueya and An Yuesheng are not Concubine An's biological brothers and sisters, right? If so, why should Concubine An avenge them? For her, as long as there is benefit, An Yuesheng and Anyueya can use their special abilities to help her ascend to the position of Imperial Concubine. Now she is only one step away from this position, do you think she will give up this tempting opportunity for the so-called 'family affection'?"
Of course it is impossible, no one can easily resist this temptation.
Qin Qixuan's words woke the nanny up from a dream, and she finally understood where Qin Qixuan's mercy came from. It turned out that her trust and expectations had always seemed so naive and ridiculous in the cruel palace struggle.
Nanny knew clearly in her heart that the power struggle in the palace could often change people beyond recognition. But she still found it hard to believe that the young lady who had grown up under her care had become what she is now?
"How is it possible?" Nanny murmured to herself, her voice full of confusion and puzzlement, "Young lady..."
She wanted to say that the young lady had been so innocent, so kind and pure, but how could she become like this now?
However, it was not until this time that Nanny really understood that Concubine An was no longer the young lady she was familiar with. She had become a powerful concubine in the harem, and in order to get this position, she might have used all kinds of dirty means.
When Mammy thought of this, she felt sad. She dropped her hands helplessly, as if she had lost all her strength. She knew that she could not change anything and could only accept this cruel reality.
