"Replying to the Lady, the Second Lady has been examined by the court physician and is now fine. The Second Lady has already gone to bed, so the Lady will not be asked to go in and see her."
"I'm glad the child is okay. I'll ask someone to send some nourishing supplements over later. If the Second Princess wakes up, give her some." The wife said with great concern and understanding.
"Thank you, Madam." Wen Mianmian bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
"The second princess is blessed with great fortune. This time she will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune. She will surely live in peace in the future." Wang also came over and said.
But his eyes secretly glanced towards the Fourth Master.
Unexpectedly, before Wen Mianmian could say anything, the Fourth Master started to drive her away impatiently.
"Okay, now that you all know that Ergege is fine, go back. Too many people here will disturb Ergege's rest."
When Fu Jin and the others heard what the Fourth Master said, they froze for a moment, and then Fu Jin spoke again: "Then I and the others will go back first. Master, please take care of your health."
Then she bowed slightly and left.
Although the others were reluctant to leave so soon, since the master had already spoken and the concubine had left, they had no reason to stay.
So he could only look at his master with some reluctance, then bowed and retreated.
After they left, the Fourth Master took Wen Mianmian's hand and came to the main house.
All the servants and wet nurses who accompanied the Second Princess today knelt on the ground.
"Tell me, how did Ergege escape? Didn't we tell them not to leave their side?"
The Fourth Master glared at the servant kneeling below with his sharp eyes and spoke in a harsh tone.
Wen Mianmian sat aside without saying anything. Maybe these people thought she was too easy to talk to, so they were so negligent.
If Ergege hadn't been rescued in time, her Tiantian might have...
So Wen Mianmian will not let go easily of anyone involved this time.
"Master, please spare me. I was cleaning the yard and didn't notice how the Second Princess ran out. Please spare me." A young eunuch who was sweeping the yard lowered his head to the ground and spoke in a trembling voice.
"I was accompanying the Second Prince at the time and was always paying attention to him. I didn't know..." Another servant also spoke nervously.
"I went into the house to get some fruit for the young prince and the young princess, but when I came out, I didn't see the second princess. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking that the wet nurse had taken her back to the house."
"Later, Wang An discovered that the Second Princess was missing, and everyone rushed out in a panic to look for her. Finally, Xiaobai ran in, yelling, and then dragged the servants over. Only then did they realize that the Second Princess had run to the lotus pond alone and fell into the water..."
Shannai told everything she knew.
At the same time, she felt very guilty. If she had noticed it earlier, perhaps such a thing would not have happened to the second princess.
The Fourth Master became angrier as he listened. Wen Mianmian was also filled with rage as she listened. She looked at the nanny who was taking care of Tiantian and said:
"What about you? As the Second Princess's wet nurse, shouldn't you have stayed by her side? Why weren't you there?"
"I deserve to die. I had a stomachache at the time, so I asked Madam Qian to look after her. Who would have thought that when I came back, I heard the news that the Second Princess had fallen into the water. I deserve to die. I didn't take good care of the Second Princess. It's my fault."
One of the wet nurses who took care of the second princess kowtowed frantically.
Another wet nurse, Madam Qian, also kowtowed frantically. At that time, she was a little tired of standing. Seeing that the second princess was playing with the eldest prince and others, and there were many people in the yard, she went back to the room to rest for a while.
Who would have thought that the Second Princess would sneak out at this time? Thinking of this, she actually felt a little resentful towards the Second Princess.
Wasn't it better for her to stay in the yard at that time? Why did she run away? Wasn't she deliberately causing trouble for them? Now she is causing them to be punished.
When Wen Mianmian asked her, Aunt Qian could only stammer and tell her everything.
Because someone saw her go back into the house at that time, so even if she wanted to lie, she couldn't.
If she was found out, she would only be punished more severely, so she might as well tell the truth.
When Wen Mianmian heard what the wet nurse said, she was so angry that she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at her feet.
All the servants were shocked, and even the Fourth Master saw Mianmian so angry for the first time.
Wen Mianmian looked at her angrily and said, "What did I say before? If you have other matters, you can talk to Wang An, Shan Nai and others. If there is really something, I will not let you rest."
"But since you haven't said a word, you think that since I haven't said much to you over the years, you think I'm easy to talk to, right?"
"No, I know I was wrong. I beg Concubine to spare my life."
Nanny Qian was really panicked. Although she did think so at the beginning, the concubine's attitude now seemed that she would not let her off easily.
Nanny Qian was also scared.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen to Ergege if she hadn't been discovered today? Do you think I would have spared you?"
Children are her Achilles' heel. As long as her Achilles' heel is touched, she will never let it go easily.
Not to mention, it was because of her negligence that her daughter almost died, so Wen Mianmian would never let her go.
"Concubine, I know I was wrong. The Second Princess sneaked out on her own, and isn't she alright now? Please forgive me this time, Concubine. I won't dare to do it again."
Nanny Qian kowtowed and begged for mercy in fear. Her forehead was swollen so high that it was a bit shocking to look at.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but as soon as she said it, Wen Mianmian stood up in anger.
Walking up to her, Nanny Qian raised her head, pulled Wen Mianmian's trouser legs and begged for mercy.
But Wen Mianmian slapped her directly.
An obvious slap mark immediately appeared on Nanny Qian's face.
"What you mean is that this is the Second Princess's fault, and even if something happens to her, it has nothing to do with you, right?" Wen Mianmian stared at Nanny Qian, her face immediately turned cold, and she shouted loudly.
Aunt Qian knew she had said the wrong thing and kept shaking her head, "No, no, it's my fault. It was my fault that I didn't take good care of the Second Princess. That's why she fell into the water. It's all my fault. Please forgive me, Concubine."
"No, you are not wrong. It is the Second Princess who is wrong. If the Second Princess had not sneaked out to play, how could such a thing happen? How could it implicate you? You must be thinking so in your hearts." Wen Mianmian swept her sharp eyes over them all.
"We dare not." All the servants lowered their heads and said in unison.
"I don't care what you think in your hearts, but you are also responsible for the Second Princess falling into the water. All of you will be beaten with twenty boards and fined half a year's salary. If you do it again, I will not let you off lightly."
