As Huang Ziyao spoke, she immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Granny Wang, it was my mother's fault, please forgive her."
A little over a month ago, she was a favored daughter of heaven. Her father was the manager of the Hu family, one of the richest families in the world, her mother was the head of the Hu family, and her uncle was also very wealthy, no less so than the Hu family. But all of this shattered a little over a month ago. Everything she had was like a bubble, disappearing without a trace. She fell straight from heaven to earth. Now they still look very glamorous, but they are nothing more than living at the mercy of others and depending on them for a living.
Father never really cared about his siblings; it was Mother who took care of them with great difficulty. Mother was very strong-willed, and if she didn't give in, then her younger brother would really be doomed.
Seeing that she had actually knelt down, Wang Mama turned aside, refusing Huang Ziyao's bow, and said indifferently, "I am just a servant girl, favored by the young mistress, and dare not accept the young lady's courtesy."
Although the conflict between Hu Mingmei and Huang Wenbai has become public, only Hu Mingmei can ignore them. Even Bai Nuo can't go too far, let alone the servants.
As soon as Huang Ziyao knelt down, Madam Zheng lifted her up, but Huang Ziyao insisted on kneeling on the ground to beg Bai Nuo to apologize to Granny Wang and refused to get up. Bai Nuo saw that Granny Wang didn't mind and didn't want the girl to keep kneeling like that and damage her self-esteem. She had always thought that Huang Ziyao was willful, arrogant and very annoying, but today she saw a good point about her.
"Alright, get up. It's not your fault!" Bai Nuo said calmly. She always distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Whoever offended her, she would go after them without involving others. Even if the person was Huang Ziyao's mother, it didn't matter. If it wasn't Huang Ziyao, then it wasn't Huang Ziyao.
"Second Sister-in-law!"
Madam Zheng looked at her daughter with heartache. She had given birth to four children, one of whom died young and three survived. She had always cherished this one daughter like a precious jewel. Seeing her kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face, Madam Zheng felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
"Don't call her!" Madam Zheng pulled Huang Ziyao up again with force, and said angrily, "Let's go, don't beg her!" She didn't believe that the doctor could stay in this courtyard forever. As long as he came out, she would definitely find him.
As soon as Madam Zheng left, the wounded soldiers got up and followed her. Looking at Madam Zheng's angry back, Granny Wang said worriedly, "Young Madam, it's all because of me that things have turned out like this. Although Madam Zheng is a woman, she is a very meticulous person!"
Although Madam Zheng no longer wields much power within the Hu family, the Zheng family itself is no less powerful than the Hu family. If Madam Zheng were to use her maternal family's influence to deal with the Madam, then...
It's all her fault. She knew perfectly well that the young mistress was pregnant. Madam Zheng is not someone to be trifled with. She was slapped, so what? As a servant, she could have just endured the grievance. Why did she have to bother the madam?
The young mistress is considerate of her and will definitely stand up for her when she sees her being beaten. In this way, the young mistress and Madam Zheng have completely broken off relations.
"It's alright!" Bai Nuo said indifferently, not taking it to heart. They and Huang Wenbai had already been like this for a long time. Even without Wang Mama's incident, it would have turned out this way sooner or later. Besides, Wang Mama was an elder. Although she was the one who hit her, Madam Zheng's slap was actually directed at Hu Mingmei and Bai Nuo.
"What about the Fourth Young Master..." Granny Wang asked. She had just heard that Huang Yikang had contracted a secret illness, but she didn't know how the Young Madam planned to manage it.
"Let her be!" Bai Nuo said calmly. "Whether they want to see a doctor or take medicine, let them have their way!" Anyway, a person who is about to die won't cost much.
"yes!"
After dealing with Granny Wang's matter, Bai Nuo returned to Granny's room. Jiang San Niang was still waiting outside. Upon seeing Jiang San Niang, Bai Nuo's heart suddenly pounded. "How is it? Has Granny come out yet?"
"No!" Jiang San Niang said anxiously, "Aunt Liu just took the hot water in and hasn't come out yet!"
No one knows what Aunt Liu was doing taking the hot water in there. It was already the third basin of hot water. When she came out, the hot water was gone.
Bai Nuo pursed her lips and remained silent, sitting wearily to one side.
Jiang San Niang, heavily pregnant, paced back and forth, but soon couldn't hold on any longer and sat down next to Bai Nuo. The two of them stared intently at the inner room without saying a word.
Another hour passed, and it was noon. Peony came over to ask the two if they wanted lunch, but they couldn't eat anything. When they asked about the time, they realized that so much time had passed, and they became even more anxious.
Could something have happened?
But even if something happened, there should be some sound, right? Aunt Liu should have come out and said something, but there was no movement inside, and Aunt Liu didn't come out either. What's going on?
"Ladies!" Peony said anxiously, seeing the two of them looking worried. "You two should eat something, even if you don't. The young masters need to eat too!" Peony pointed to their bellies, hoping they would think of the children in their wombs and eat something.
As soon as Mudan said that, Jiang San Niang's stomach rumbled. Although Bai Nuo's stomach hadn't started rumbling yet, she was already feeling dizzy from hunger and seemed about to lose control.
