Chapter 313 The Old Lady Promise Zhao Xuan to Marry Wanxin
With a bang, the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Zhao Lingxi, who was under house arrest, looked at the nanny standing in front of him with rage and questioned her angrily.
"What did you say?"
"Miss, I asked Que'er to do this. That person deserves to die. I was the dowry maidservant of the Madam. Now that the Madam has passed away, I have been with you and my brother as they grew up. Now that my brother is not fighting or competing, you must not be soft-hearted."
"That bastard was lucky. He didn't drown or freeze to death in such a cold day."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, who looked quite pretty.
This Nanny Lin was the maid that came with Zhao Xuan's first wife. Naturally, she was about the same age as the late Madam Zhao. When Madam Zhao was critically ill, she was worried about her two children and thought of letting the maid that came with her dowry seduce Zhao Xuan. Not to mention as his wife, she could just be a concubine so that she could take care of her two children.
However, Zhao Xuan had no feelings for Madam Zhao at that time and seldom came to her room. Naturally, he looked down on the maids who came with Madam Zhao.
Nanny Lin failed to become Zhao Xuan's woman, but because she was Madam Zhao's maid, she was kept in the inner house to take care of Zhao Lingxi's daily life.
Zhao Lingxi also respects Nanny Lin. After all, she lost her mother when she was young, and Nanny Lin's existence just makes up for the lack of maternal love she has.
Whenever Zhao Lingxi had something good happen to her, he would think of Nanny Lin and treated her like his own mother.
But what Nanny Lin did today made Zhao Lingxi feel a little disgusted.
"No matter what, that's a life. If my father knew it was me, it was me who did it, he would kill me..."
Zhao Lingxi was worried and scared.
She knew very well that her father was indulgent and tolerant of her, but if she went too far, her father would have plenty of ways to punish her.
Nanny Lin stepped forward and said, "Young lady, everyone involved in this matter has been dealt with, so don't worry. I've already heard that the Empress Dowager has taken a liking to you. If you enter the palace, you'll be the Imperial Concubine. From now on, you'll have the final say on how to deal with Gao and the child."
Zhao Lingxi was originally scared, but after hearing what Nanny Lin said, she seemed not so scared anymore.
"You, have someone burn some paper for that maid. Don't stay in the mansion, go outside."
Perhaps because of the lack of love, Zhao Lingxi felt very empty inside and she was also afraid.
She looked arrogant and domineering, but she had never done anything evil like murder or arson. Now that she knew that the maid was from her courtyard, Zhao Lingxi was not only worried that the maid would die with regrets, but also worried that her father would find out about this.
What should she do...
Nanny Lin could see that Zhao Lingxi had the mind of a little girl, so she just needed to be coaxed.
It’s a pity that the evil creature didn’t die.
Now that the adults are watching Gao's mother and son so strictly, it's probably impossible to take action again. Now they can only keep quiet.
***
Zhao Xuan has been busy these days. Except for the first three days when he was busy reporting to the emperor about the flood in Jiangcheng, he had more free time after the matter was almost dealt with.
Because there was a murder in his family. Although the death of a maid or old woman in a wealthy family was nothing, this matter concerned his youngest son Yier.
Moreover, Zhao Xuan also discovered that if he could not handle this matter well, Gao Wanxin's attitude towards him would remain lukewarm.
When he mentioned getting married, she said there was no rush.
Zhao Xuan took a day to check on the servants of the Zhao family, and finally found out that the maid was called Que'er. She worked in the outer courtyard and was an ordinary-looking maid. No one paid special attention to her appearance.
But this maid has some relationship with Nanny Lin.
She is the granddaughter of a distant relative of Nanny Lin.
And this Nanny Lin is Zhao Lingxi's nanny, who has taken care of her since she was a child.
Could it really be Lingxi who did it?
Zhao Xuan was sitting on the chair when the brush in his hand snapped and broke.
If it was really Lingxi who did it, how should he tell Gao Wanxin?
Zhao Lingxi is his daughter, and Ke Yier is also his son.
The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh, how should he make a choice.
Perhaps he didn't dare or didn't know how to face Gao Wanxin. Zhao Xuan had been saying that he was very busy these days. He would only take half an hour a day to see the child, and then leave. He didn't eat with her, nor did he sleep with her.
Gao Wanxin could see that Zhao Xuan was very indifferent to her.
I think I'm tired of the relationship.
Or maybe the old lady's attempt to stop Zhao Xuan from marrying her worked.
Gao Wanxin thought to herself, whether she continued to stay in the Zhao family or left the Zhao family to live outside, she was even mentally prepared. If Zhao Xuan really didn't marry her, she would be willing to give her the status of a concubine as long as she could stay with the child and accompany her son to grow up.
While Gao Wanxin was daydreaming, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.
Yu'er went out to take a look, and came back to tell Gao Wanxin that it was a sister from the old lady's side who asked her to come over.
Gao Wanxin was about to stand up.
"Then I'll leave Yi'er in your care..."
Yu'er said, "The old lady said that you should bring the young master over as well."
Gao Wanxin didn't know what the old lady was thinking. Why did she call her over? Or did she just want to see Yier?
She took the child and followed the maid directly to the old lady's yard.
"The old lady is well..."
Wanxin bowed slightly, and Yu'er held Yi'er in her arms. The little guy woke up at this time, stretched out his hand and squeaked, but no one knew what he was saying.
"Bring the child to me so I can take a look."
Gao Wanxin wanted to hold the baby herself, but Mother Li, who was standing in front of the old lady, had already walked over. It was obvious that Gao Wanxin was very worried. Mother Li was a kind-hearted person, and she smiled at Gao Wanxin.
"Miss Gao, don't worry. Our old lady is a Buddhist and there's no way she would harm a child."
"No, Wanxin is just worried that the child will be shy and make a fuss."
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Wanxin, what I said earlier may have been a little cold, but you already know the identity between you and the master without me having to explain it in detail."
Gao Wanxin was so frightened that she didn't know where to stand.
"Wanxin knows everything."
"However, the master likes you and has come to me to plead for you repeatedly. I think since he is willing, I will grant his wish."
Gao Wanxin stared in disbelief. The old lady, who had been opposing it a few days ago, suddenly said that she agreed to let Zhao Xuan marry her?
What exactly made her change her mind?
Gao Wanxin didn't know what to say for a moment. She just stood there and watched the old lady teasing Yier.
