Chapter 93: Karma
last night.
Nanny Gui was locked up in the woodshed, awaiting Madam Hou's decision.
Nanny Gui knew that if she couldn't redress her grievances, she would be severely punished.
At this time, Zhang the Mute came to bring her dinner. She used threats and inducements as if she had seen a god, and asked her to go to the lady and speak good words to her so that she could see her.
Mrs. Zhang brought out the food and asked only one irrelevant question.
"Madam Gui, was Xiaoxi really drowned back then?"
Nanny Gui was in a state of annoyance. She couldn't take care of the current affairs, let alone care about someone who had died long ago.
She said impatiently, "Whether he drowned or not, what's the point of talking about this now? Old Lady Zhang, I just wanted you to do something, why are you being so reluctant?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she stopped talking and pushed the food away, saying, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
The next day, before dawn.
Suddenly, Nanny Gui ran out of the woodshed like crazy. I don't know how the maid on duty in the Jianjia Courtyard did her job, but she let Nanny Gui rush into the courtyard. If it weren't for Nanny Qi's quick eyes and hands, I'm afraid she would have really bumped into the lady who was having dinner.
Nanny Qi originally wanted to hold her down and leave, but Nanny Gui was so strong that the two maids couldn't hold her down.
Nanny Gui was talking nonsense there, saying how she had done so many things for the lady, and now she just made a small mistake, so why couldn't she be forgiven?
She said that it was she who discovered the pregnancy of Concubine Liu in Qijun Courtyard, that it was she who broke Concubine Liu's hand, that it was she who withheld Lin Qingjun's monthly allowance, that it was she who prepared the spoiled meals that she was given every time she was confined to her house, that even that student was let in by her and Datao, and that the two maids on duty in front of the courtyard were also spies of Qijun Courtyard.
He cursed Qi for being heartless and heartless.
Aunt Qi's face turned pale. She wanted to shut Aunt Gui up, but it was too late. Everything had already been told.
She slapped her hard on the face and cursed her as an evil slave.
Because in the house there was not only the lady but also the master.
Last night, the lady finally coaxed the master to come and settle down, but she didn't expect that the old man would ruin it early in the morning.
When Lin Zhi walked out, his face was ashen, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qi was full of resentment, as if to say, look, this is the backyard you are in charge of, and it is so vicious.
Qi was so frightened that her legs went limp and she wanted to beat Nanny Gui to death immediately.
Nanny Qi still had some common sense. She first ordered the servants in the courtyard not to reveal a single word of what had just happened to protect the lady's reputation. Then she said that she could not be beaten to death now to avoid giving others a chance to talk about her. After all, Nanny Gui was someone they had valued. If they were to kill her right away, wouldn't that confirm her reputation as a traitor?
So, first she was stripped of her position as manager, and then she was beaten with fifty lashes. Whether she could survive the fifty lashes depended on her own luck. In this way, she could vent her hatred and at the same time make life difficult for Aunt Gui.
Mrs. Zhang laughed, "This is her fate. She deserves it."
Moreover, she has lived for so many years, which is enough and worth it.
Grandma Zhang looked at the nameless tree beside the pond. The fruit on the tree was very strange. The fruit ripened in late autumn and was purple-red, attracting many birds to peck at it.
Do you know why she was called "Mute Woman"? Because she spoke with a hoarse voice, and everyone made fun of her. They gave her the nickname "Mute Woman." Even the people in the kitchen laughed at her, even though the food she cooked was delicious.
But there was one person who never laughed at her, and that was Xiaoxi. She said, "What does it matter if you're dumb or not? It's all given to me by my parents. It's nothing."
She liked to climb up the nameless tree and pick fruits for her to eat in late autumn. Although they were very sour, they tasted sweet to her.
But she didn't expect that such a good person would die?
Zhang Yapo's eyes were filled with hatred. "If it weren't for the Second Miss, I'm afraid I would have hated the wrong person my entire life."
After Xiaoxi died, she hated Datao who pushed Xiaoxi down, but she couldn't find an opportunity, so she could only wait and wait, but what she waited for was the fact that it was not Datao who did it.
Lin Qingjun shook his head. "You don't have to thank me. I only found out about it that day."
That day, she killed Da Tao, originally wanting to create the illusion that she was robbed, but among those objects she found the truth of that year. One of the things there turned out to be the pearl flower that Xiao Xi loved when she was alive, and there was something black at the sharp end of the pearl flower.
Looking more closely, that wasn't black at all; it was clearly dried blood.
In other words, someone used Xiaoxi's pearl flower to do something.
So she secretly inquired about Xiaoxi's death, and finally she found some clues.
Some people said that she clearly saw Xiaoxi was still breathing, but when she carried Xiaoxi back to the house, she turned around and heard Aunt Gui say that Xiaoxi was dead.
Some people also said that they did not see Xiaoxi's body and that it was all done by Aunt Gui. However, when she was cleaning Xiaoxi's bed, she found blood on the pillow.
Xiaoxi drowned, where did the blood come from?
With the addition of this pearl flower, it is even more certain that Xiaoxi's death that year was not what everyone saw on the surface.
In order to get the position of the managing nanny, Nanny Gui could have saved Xiaoxi, but she stabbed her to death and put the blame on Datao. Datao noticed something was wrong and kept the murder weapon, Zhuhua.
This also explains why Da Tao "killed" Xiao Xi, but Aunt Gui did not take revenge on Da Tao for so many years.
However, if Nanny Gui does not avenge Xiaoxi, someone else will naturally do it for her, such as Aunt Zhang.
Lin Qingjun had known for a long time that Zhang Yapo loved Xiaoxi, because when Xiaoxi climbed up the nameless tree, she warned her to be careful under the tree.
Xiaoxi raised a sunny smile and said, "Miss, it's okay. Miss, wait for me. I've picked some fruits and will pick the best ones for you."
Lin Qingjun's eyes were moist and his heart ached.
Such a beautiful servant was killed by Nanny Gui. If she didn't deserve to die, what else could she have done?
"Oh, it was Nanny Gui who got this position because of Xiaoxi."
"Now, I have lost this position because of Xiaoxi."
Many years later, the boomerang hit Aunt Gui right between the eyebrows. Is this karma?
Mrs. Zhang said again, "Thank you, Second Miss, for your help. This old servant has no regrets now."
Lin Qingjun asked, "Are you leaving?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed. "If you don't leave, do you really want to stay and watch the disgusting things happening here? I've been living alone for so many years and have saved some money, which is enough for me to make a living in the future. Second Miss, don't worry."
Lin Qingjun said, "I'm not worried about you. I just want to ask, was it really Nanny Gui who killed Xiaoxi? Don't you think that after Xiaoxi left the Lin Mansion, her coffin was opened for inspection? The person who let Xiaoxi go is still in the mansion?"
