Chapter 30: Nanny Qin



Chapter 30 is Nanny Qin

That night, Nanny Qin came to the meditation room.

She presented some food to Zou Er, then untied him and said some good words, asking him to think about his family and not to talk nonsense tomorrow.

Zou Er did not doubt it, agreed repeatedly, and ate voraciously.

Just as Nanny Qin got up and closed the door to leave, the dishes and chopsticks in the meditation room were kicked to the ground. Zou Er's throat was locked by the poison, and he covered his throat tightly with his hands without uttering a word.

This place is quiet, no idle people walk around, and no one will discover the situation inside. Nanny Qin waited outside the door and waited until there was no sign of anything in the house before leaving.

The next day, the morning light was slightly bright.

Liu called everyone together, and the first thing she did was to investigate what happened last night. Liu Qiuqiu, who was sitting next to her, had red eyes, and it seemed that she didn't get a good night's rest.

"Where's Su He? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Nanny Qin said, "Maybe the young lady feels guilty and is embarrassed to come..."

There was such a loud noise in the elegant pavilion yesterday, but Su He didn't even come out to take a look. Isn't that because he feels guilty?

"Why should I feel guilty?"

Before she finished speaking, Su He walked into the room. She looked around the room, her eyes paused on Nanny Qin's face, and smiled coldly: "Why don't you answer?"

Nanny Qin lowered her eyes: "It was the old servant who overstepped his authority."

Su He leaned over and sat down, stroking her fingers on the armrests, her eyebrows slanted: "Pei Xia, let her remember this."

Pei Xia said yes, rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, slapping her neatly. Nanny Qin took a few steps back after being slapped, staring at her in disbelief with her eyes wide open, "I am the old lady's person! What right do you have to hit me?"

"Because you have no manners!"

Pei Xia has always been dissatisfied with these old women around Liu. Relying on their age, they act like she is the old lady and act overbearing in the mansion, but they dare to bully her young lady?

"You are too much, maid!"

Liu slammed the table, and the tea spilled. Liu Qiuqiu was also startled. She secretly looked at them and understood that the two were fighting against each other.

Well, when they both suffered losses, she would reap the benefits. The best result would be that she would be the only mistress left in the Lu Mansion! Anyway, the short-lived Zhang had already met King Yan, and after Su He left, the old lady would soon go to the underworld.

In the hall, Su He stared at Liu quietly

. If she did it again, she would not be afraid of anything. Even if Liu was the elder, it would not matter. Compared with the watchdog who followed the rules, the elder without virtue seemed to be more pleasing.

"What's the point of making so much noise?"

Zhaoyang's voice came from outside the door. Xianyin was waiting on the side. When Liu saw her, she immediately went to meet her. She heard Zhaoyang say, "I heard that the Lu family has family affairs to deal with. Huaihe is an outsider, so it's not easy for him to interfere. Let me make the decision."

After all, she was once a member of the Lu family, and her status was more noble than Liu's. No one would say anything if she got involved.

Liu had no objection. She winked at Nanny Qin, and she immediately covered her face and went forward to cry.

The princess wanted to defend Liu's case, but Xianyin interrupted her: "You were the one who said the wrong thing first, how can you blame the master for punishing you? You don't look like a servant. Remember to burn incense and worship Buddha before you reincarnate in your next life, and be a master before others, so you don't have to suffer."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhaoyang fell silent, which made people think that the princess meant it. The

expression on Qin Ma's face changed very well, from angry to mixed, and she had to bite the bullet to thank the princess for her teachings.

Zhaoyang said, "On the way here, Xianyin has already told me the whole story. In a quiet place like Buddhism, someone dared to blaspheme the gods. I will personally convict him!"

Liu ordered Nanny Qin to bring him over.

The two knew that Zou Er could not show up.

Nanny Qin was sure that she did not leave any traces, and even her footprints were wiped clean when she left.

Pei Xia stepped forward in time and said respectfully to Zhaoyang, "Let me go. I am nimble and can run fast."

"Go."

Nanny Qin did not want to go, otherwise it would be hard to say anything after seeing the corpse. Now they only need to throw the crime on Su He, with a lot of excuses and reasons, saying that she was jealous of Aunt Liu's pregnancy and deliberately took revenge... Anyway, there is no evidence.

Liu leaned back slightly, raised her chin slightly, and turned her eyes to Su He. She looked calm, as if she had nothing to do with this matter.

After waiting for an incense stick of time, Zhaoyang was already a little impatient. When Liu was about to ask Nanny Qin to go to the quiet room to check the situation, someone came into the room.

Pei Xia brought Zou Er to her.

When she saw the living person in front of her, Nanny Qin was stunned and motionless.

Didn't he die from eating poisoned food in the middle of the night?

Liu's face turned pale, and she clenched her fists secretly, not even wanting to look at Nanny Qin.

If she had known this, she might as well do it herself!

"My name is Zou Er, and I'm here to see the princess."

Zou Er's voice was hoarse when he spoke, probably because of the poison.

He knelt on the ground, looking respectful, and he looked no more than twenty years old. From the surface, it didn't seem true that he deliberately bullied other women.

But he tried to hurt Su He twice.

Zhaoyang asked, "Did you try to hurt Aunt Liu last night? Do you admit the crime?"

Zou Er stood up, glanced at Liu with a hint of hatred, and said hesitantly, "I was misled by someone's instructions. The person behind the scenes is here. I hope the princess will investigate..."

"Oh? Then tell me, who instructed you?"

Liu's face was gloomy, and the muscles under her eyes trembled.

Su He raised his eyes.

In the quiet room, Zou Er slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at one of them.

Nanny Qin's pupils dilated, and she froze instantly when she saw the finger pointing at her.

"It's her!"

"Last night, Nanny Qin poisoned my food in an attempt to kill me in order to silence me!"

Nanny Qin retorted loudly: "You are talking nonsense! I was just following orders..."

"You still want to quibble after being pointed out?" Liu said suddenly, her slanted eyes were particularly frightening, "Madame Qin, you have grandchildren like me, are you setting an example for the younger generation like this?"

Madame Qin didn't dare to act rashly after hearing this. She had served Liu for decades, and she could understand the slightest disturbance. These words were secretly warning her.

Whether she admitted today's matter or not, Liu could find a way to get out of it. But she was an old servant, and she still had things to do at home, so she couldn't stay out of it.

After a brief thought, Nanny Qin quickly came up with a plan. She looked at Liu deeply, then knelt down in front of Zhaoyang, "I was possessed by a ghost for a moment... Please punish me, Princess!"

Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't like the new concubine Liu. It was she who caused the separation between the young lady and the young master, so I wanted to scare her..."

Hearing this, Liu Qiuqiu stood up in disbelief, stroking her belly with one hand, and asked in a sharp voice: "You are lying! You clearly did last night..."
