Chapter 63 She doesn't want to serve others, is that wrong for her whole life?
After Chu Nanxin left, Aunt Bao was blinded by hatred.
She sat on the couch, staring ahead with empty eyes. Her ruined face looked particularly hideous in the dim light.
The fire of revenge has been ignited, but where will this fire burn?
She would never forget that it was the wet nurse who brought her the bowl of medicine, and she even regarded the thief who harmed her as her savior.
It's really ridiculous.
Doesn't Chu Ruohan trust Nanny the most? Then let's start with her.
She carefully selected a trusted maid, whom she bought from outside the mansion.
Aunt Bao called her over, her eyes filled with sinister determination as she whispered, "Go and trick the wet nurse next to that bitch Chu Ruohan out. Tell her that a new batch of fabric has arrived at the mansion and they need to make clothes for the Crown Prince's wife. They don't know the sizes, so ask her to come and take a look."
"Remember, this matter must succeed, failure is not allowed, otherwise neither you nor I will be happy!"
The maid's indenture was in Aunt Bao's hands, and she dared not disobey her orders at all.
"Yes, Auntie, I will do my best."
There is not much to do in Hongmeng Courtyard on weekdays, so when Nanny is free, she likes to find a quiet corner to bask in the sun.
The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves onto the ground. The wet nurse sat on a small stool with her eyes slightly closed.
The little maidservant followed Aunt Bao's instructions and found Hongmeng Courtyard with a nervous heart.
She looked around with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. Seeing that no one was passing by, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk forward.
She forced a seemingly obedient smile on her face and said softly, "Mammy, are you basking in the sun here?"
The nanny looked up when she heard the voice and saw that it was an unfamiliar maid. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still responded gently: "Yes, young lady, it is?"
The little maid quickly bowed and said, "Mammy, it's like this. A batch of fine fabrics has just arrived in the mansion, and Aunt Zhao said she wants to make some new clothes for the Crown Prince's wife."
"But this tailor doesn't know the size of the Crown Prince's wife. Could you go with me to take a look so that the dress can be made to fit her better?"
When the wet nurse heard this, she had some doubts in her heart. Why wasn't it Dongxue who was beside Aunt Zhao?
Instead, he sent a strange maid.
But she thought that maybe there were too many servants in the mansion, so it was normal that she couldn't recognize them all. Without thinking too much, she slowly stood up and said, "Okay, young lady, lead the way."
Along the way, the little maid tried her best to find topics to talk about in order to avoid arousing the nanny's suspicion.
"Mammy, you may not know that a few days ago, there was a new servant in the kitchen. He saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that had just come out of the pot and couldn't help but secretly ate a piece."
"The housekeeper happened to see this and started chasing the boy with a broom. The boy was so scared that he ran around everywhere, with a piece of cake in his mouth, begging for mercy incoherently and almost choking to death."
The nurse said, "This child is too greedy. How can he not obey the rules? It's a relief that the housekeeper didn't punish him."
"Yes, yes!" the little maid agreed.
Before they knew it, they were outside the Purple Bamboo Pavilion. This place was remote and quiet, surrounded by weeds, and rarely visited on weekdays.
Nanny looked at the unfamiliar path, her vigilance rising again. She unconsciously slowed down her pace and asked, "Where are we going?"
A flash of panic crossed the maid's face, but she quickly calmed down. She knew she couldn't ruin her master's plan, otherwise she would suffer the consequences when she returned.
"Go to my aunt, this is a shortcut..."
She gritted her teeth, picked up a stone from the ground while the nanny wasn't paying attention, and knocked the nanny unconscious with it.
"sorry."
The little maid was a little scared, but thinking of Aunt Bao's instructions, she suppressed her fear and dragged the wet nurse to a dark room in Zizhuxuan.
This secret room was discovered by Aunt Bao by chance. It is located in a secret place and is not easily noticed.
She had been waiting in the dark room for a long time. In the dim light, her figure looked particularly eerie.
Seeing the little maid dragging the unconscious wet nurse in, Aunt Bao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "Well done. Remember, if you dare to leak a word of what happened today, you know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, the little maidservant felt as if she had been pardoned. She bowed quickly and hurried out of the dark room.
Her steps were a little hurried, but she ran into Xiaotao while passing through the corridor.
"What are you so flustered about?"
The little maid's heart tightened, and a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she immediately pretended to be calm, "No, it's okay."
After saying that, she hurriedly walked around Xiaotao and quickened her pace, as if she was afraid that Xiaotao would ask more questions.
The wet nurse slowly woke up, feeling dizzy and her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
She subconsciously wanted to raise her hands to rub her temples, but found that she could not move at all. Her hands and feet were tied tightly to a cold and hard stool with ropes.
She struggled hard for a few times, but couldn't get free.
In the dim light, the nanny looked around. It was all dark except for a flickering candle in the corner, emitting a dim light.
An ominous feeling welled up in her heart.
Before she could recover from her shock, she heard a sinister sneer coming from the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Bao's figure appeared in her sight.
Aunt Bao stared at the wet nurse with a vicious look, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"Old thing, you didn't expect this day to come! Chu Ruohan hurt me so badly, today I will let her taste the pain of losing someone close to her."
When the nanny heard this, her face turned pale as paper. "Baoling, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Aunt Bao yelled hysterically, "You old thing, you're still pretending! Didn't you abort my child? You dare not take responsibility for what you did!"
"And my face has been ruined by Chu Ruohan..."
The wet nurse's eyes widened; she knew everything.
"It's okay. When you die, I'll quickly send Chu Ruohan down to accompany you. Your master and servant have such a deep bond that you can be together even in the underworld!"
As she spoke, Aunt Bao laughed crazily, until tears came out of her eyes.
The nanny was extremely anxious and twisted her body desperately, "Baoling, I did everything. It has nothing to do with the young lady. The young lady knows nothing! If you want revenge, come to me. Let the young lady go!"
Let her go? Why didn't Chu Ruohan let her go?
She has been serving Chu Ruohan since she was a child. She is a superior lady, while she is just a maid.
She doesn't want to serve others for the rest of her life...
Aunt Bao slowly squatted down and approached the wet nurse with a twisted smile on her face. She held the brown paper she had prepared long ago in her hands and soaked them one by one in the basin of water.
