Chapter 443: Nanny Wu is punished
Nanny Wu pretended to be extremely conflicted with a frown on her face.
Xie Dan saw this and felt disdain in his heart, but he remained calm and carefully took out two exquisite porcelain bottles from his sleeves.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly with a hint of flattery, "Mammy, there are two pills in here, which I have painstakingly researched recently. Their hemostatic effect is miraculous and the speed is very fast. Maybe you will be able to use them at some point in the future."
Nanny Wu looked at Xie Dan from head to toe for a long time, her eyes seemed to see through him. After a long while, she nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said reluctantly, "Forget it, for your kindness, I will accept it for now."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, slowly took the porcelain bottle, then turned around and walked away with steady steps.
The moment she turned around, the friendly look that Nanny Wu had deliberately created disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a cold and serious expression.
As a confidant who has served the eldest princess for many years, Nanny Wu has a deep understanding of the importance of loyalty. How could she easily go against her own conscience just because of Xie Dan's sweet words?
Not long after, Nanny Wu arrived at the place where the eldest princess was. She first bowed respectfully, with standard and standard movements, fully showing her respect for the eldest princess.
Then, she slowly stood up, her expression extremely solemn, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.
The princess raised her eyes leisurely, glanced at Nanny Wu, and asked softly, "How did it go this time?"
Nanny Wu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this matter is really tricky. When Xie Dan was treating Miss Yu, something went wrong and I was unable to handle it properly. When he went to look for the princess, his words were very rude and he was caught by the prince. The prince was angry and gave him a small punishment to teach him a lesson."
As she spoke, Nanny Wu took out the porcelain bottle that Xie Dan had just given her from her sleeve, presented it to the princess, and continued, "Xie Dan saw that the truth had been exposed, and now he wanted me to help him cover up the truth. This is what he used to bribe me!"
When the princess heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "How dare you!"
Seeing this, Nanny Wu was startled and quickly knelt down to plead guilty. She said in a frightened voice, "Princess, please forgive me. I pretended to agree to it at that time, but I was actually thinking about calming Xie Dan down first so that I could report the matter to you as soon as I came back."
The eldest princess was silent for a moment, and in that silence it seemed as if time had stood still.
Then, she slowly raised her hand, motioning for Aunt Wu to stand up, and spoke in a calm but unquestionable voice, "You did the right thing, and your loyalty is commendable. It seems that Xie Dan has been living too comfortably lately."
As she spoke, the princess glanced at Nanny Wu, who was still kneeling on the ground and expressing her loyalty sincerely, and said again, "Get up!"
When Nanny Wu heard this, the tension in her heart finally relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After standing up, she cast an inconspicuous glance at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess still looked unhappy, but her displeasure was not directed at herself.
So, she lowered her voice and suggested cautiously: "Your Highness, in my opinion, we may need to add some fresh blood to the palace doctors."
"Oh?" The princess glanced at Nanny Wu with a probing look in her eyes, "Do you think Xie Dan is no longer fit for the job?"
Nanny Wu quickly shook her head, her movements full of respect: "I have no such intention. I just thought that if there is no competition, I am afraid that he will distract his mind to other things. For example, today, he even dared to offend the princess with his words. If this continues, there will be trouble in the future."
The eldest princess's expression froze, and her voice became a little colder: "Are you speaking for Lin Miaoyin?"
Upon seeing this, Nanny Wu knelt down again with a plop, her voice trembling slightly, "I would never dare to do that. I...actually, I proposed inviting the doctor into the mansion for my own selfish reasons."
The eldest princess said coldly: "Speak!"
"I heard that Xie Dan went to see the princess today and begged her to check on Miss Yu's lower back injury, but the princess refused without even a second thought. I feel that the princess is now just like Xie Dan, a little too proud of her own abilities."
As Nanny Wu spoke, she secretly looked up at the eldest princess's expression. Seeing that she didn't get angry immediately, she boldly continued, "If we can allow some new people to enter the mansion, I believe it will be able to curb the princess's arrogance."
The eldest princess frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.
"What you said does make some sense." The princess spoke slowly, her voice still cold, "But we can't just invite new people casually. We need to consider carefully and find some who are really capable and know the rules."
Nanny Wu was delighted, knowing that her words had worked, and nodded hurriedly, "Your Highness is wise. I heard that there are several young doctors in the clinic in the west of the city. They are very skilled in medicine and are humble and polite. If we can invite them to the mansion, they will definitely bring new changes to the medical affairs in the mansion."
The princess nodded slightly: "Go and find out more about the doctors and report their details. We must not rush into this matter, nor be careless."
"Yes, I will do my best." Nanny Wu replied respectfully.
The princess raised her jade fingers and tapped the table lightly, her voice cold, "And there's the matter of Yu Lingxiu's pills! Aunt Wu, you've been with me for many years, I never thought you would be so careless! Xie Dan's words make sense, if you could have found the pills from that maid earlier, why would I have kept Yu Lingxiu in the mansion, causing constant turmoil in the mansion, and even You'an and I have a grudge."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu knelt on the ground with a plop and said in panic, "This is my fault. I am willing to be punished by my master!"
The princess looked indifferent and said lightly: "Forget it, considering your loyalty, you can take the ten sticks yourself."
Nanny Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."
The news that Nanny Wu was punished spread quickly throughout the Princess's mansion as if it had wings.
Everyone in the mansion was talking about it. Some people saw that Nanny Wu was punished by the princess after she came out of Yu Lingxiu's yard. They all believed that she was punished because she did not take good care of Yu Lingxiu.
For a time, everyone in the mansion felt that the eldest princess valued Yu Lingxiu very much. She could even punish the old man who had served her for more than ten years. This shows how much Yu Lingxiu meant to the eldest princess.
By the time the news reached Lin Miaoyin, it was already evening.
After listening to this, Lin Miaoyin had a hint of suspicion on her lips, and whispered to herself: "There must be something else going on here."
