Chapter 451: Nanny Wu’s Teachings
Seeing Madam Wu's solemn and serious instructions, the little maid could only nod helplessly, even though she was not happy in her heart. She turned around and walked towards the left courtyard where the servants lived.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw Cui Xi standing there, surrounded by several maids.
Cui Xi's face flashed with disdain, and she snorted, "She is already so old, but she still occupies the position. When people get old, they should know their own limitations and give way to others."
Another maidservant hesitated and advised softly, "Sister Cuixi, Nanny Wu has been in the mansion for so many years, she must have some skills."
Cui Xi immediately raised her voice and retorted sharply: "Ability? Her ability is outdated. Now we young people have to rely on us in this mansion. She always occupies the position. Do we have a chance to make a breakthrough? Can she take this position away with her when she dies?"
A timid maid tugged at Cuixi's clothes, signaling her to stop talking, but Cuixi just shook her sleeves and continued to talk: "I think she just doesn't want us to have an easy life. If you give up your position earlier, everyone will be relaxed, and we will have the opportunity to serve the princess well and show our abilities."
When Birong heard this, she immediately became furious.
Like Cui Xi, she had been taught and cared for by Nanny Wu since she entered the Princess's Mansion.
However, there is a world of difference between the two. Although Birong sold herself to the Princess's mansion, it was forced by her family. The family valued boys over girls, and for the sake of their son, they cruelly sold her to the mansion.
Because of this, every bit of care that Nanny Wu showed her on a daily basis was extremely precious in Birong's heart. She had long regarded Nanny Wu as her own relative.
But Cui Xi was different. She sold herself to the princess's mansion in order to live a rich and comfortable life. Her heart and eyes were filled with the pursuit of glory.
When Birong heard Cuixi's unbearable and innuendo-filled words, she became furious and rushed forward. She raised her hand and slapped Cuixi in the face, scolding her harshly, "You ungrateful ungrateful bastard! Nanny Wu was so kind to you in the past, but you actually scolded her like this behind her back. Come on, let me go and argue with the princess now. Let her judge whether she sides with you or Nanny!"
Cui Xi was a little dazed by the sudden slap. Seeing Birong's serious look, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
She struggled to break free from Birong's pull and said calmly, "The princess is usually very busy with all kinds of affairs, so how can she have the time to care about our trivial matters!"
After that, he pushed Birong away and continued with disdain on his face: "Don't praise her so much, how can she be as good as you say? You are just stupid, being fooled by her little favors, and really think she is so good!"
When Birong heard this, her eyes were red with anxiety. She was about to blurt out that Nanny Wu had specially asked her to remind Cui Xi, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered what Nanny Wu had said before, and swallowed the words back, and quickly changed her words: "If Nanny hadn't reminded you just now, you would have disturbed the little princess! You don't even think about the consequences before doing things. Take this time for example, you don't need to rush to send the person to the princess, you just need to spread the news that the injured person is in her hands, and the princess will naturally come to you. With your brain, are you still thinking about doing things for the princess? Nanny didn't recommend you to the princess before because she must have seen that you were too stupid, and was afraid that you would not do your job well, annoy the princess, and ruin the princess's big plan."
Cui Xi didn't take Bi Rong's words seriously at first, but when she heard Bi Rong's words clearly, she immediately thought that this was a good idea. However, she rolled her eyes and sneered at Bi Rong: "With your brain, what can I think of? I tell you, I thought of it a long time ago!"
After Cui Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Birong looked at Cuixi's departing back, feeling indignant. She pouted heavily on the ground and muttered to herself, "Here comes another attempt to steal the credit!"
After Birong meticulously completed the tasks assigned by Nanny Wu, she was still concerned about Nanny Wu's injury. She did not dare to delay for a moment and turned around to go back to visit her.
However, when he was halfway there, he was called over by the servant of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess sat in the main seat, looked at Birong sharply, and asked, "Did you really come up with the idea to spread the news that someone was injured?"
Birong nodded subconsciously at first, but the indignant look on her face became more and more obvious.
The eldest princess was very perceptive and immediately caught this detail. She frowned slightly and asked, "Look at your expression. Is there something hidden?"
Birong bit her lip, but couldn't help but tell the truth: "Princess, it was Nanny Wu who told me to go and tell Cuixi."
Hearing this, the princess leaned back slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, and she said, "If you had just said that this idea was your own, I would have thought you were smart and wanted to transfer you to serve me. But now you say it's Nanny Wu, so I don't have that intention anymore."
When Birong heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly leaned down, her face almost touching the ground, and explained nervously and anxiously, "Mammy told me not to lie in front of the princess and not to hide anything from her! I really don't dare to go against Mammy's teachings."
The princess glanced at Birong, who was trembling but speaking from the bottom of her heart. She was silent for a long time before she sneered and said, "You really listen to Nanny Wu. Then go back and tell Nanny Wu that I am used to having her serve me. Let her have a good rest. I still miss her."
When Birong heard this, her face instantly lit up with joy and she kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will definitely convey your words." After saying this, she turned around and walked away carefully.
After trotting back home, Birong couldn't wait to tell Aunt Wu the good news as soon as she entered the house: "Aunt, the princess told you to take good care of yourself and she's still thinking about you!"
Nanny Wu sighed softly, looked at Birong, and asked slowly, "I stopped you from showing your face in front of the princess today. Can you blame me?"
Birong was slightly startled, and then she thought about everything that had happened in the past few days. She immediately understood what Aunt Wu meant, and quickly shook her head vigorously: "Madam, Birong just wants to stay by your side forever and not go anywhere."
Nanny Wu looked at her with a softer look in her eyes, and asked again, "Then do you know why you can't go to the princess?" Birong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Is it because you have to be loyal to Nanny?"
Nanny Wu nodded and said earnestly, "Being with the princess, cleverness is secondary. Loyalty is the most important thing! Remember, no matter what, you must stick to your heart."
Birong nodded vigorously: "Mammy, Birong will remember it!" Mammy Wu saw that there was no falsehood in her expression, so she smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
