Chapter 78 You Have to Go
When she went out, the smile on Zhong Min's face became even more intense. However, before that person saw her, that mocking smile had already disappeared, as if it had never existed. Even if someone happened to see it, they would doubt whether it was their own illusion.
"Miss Min'er is here. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more and more beautiful." A deliberately flattering voice came quickly, and what came into view was naturally a face full of smiles and wrinkles.
Zhong Min chuckled softly, glancing at the person in front of her. She said calmly, "I thought the guard who reported it was mistaken, but it turned out to be you. Could it be that the sun has risen from the west? Why did Madam Jiang, the popular figure beside Concubine Zheng, come here to see me for no reason?"
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she smiled again and quickly said, "Miss Min'er, what are you talking about? How can an old woman compare with you? You are now a big celebrity beside the prince. Everyone in the Prince Mu's Mansion knows you."
"Alright, Madam Jiang, there's no need for these empty words. We all know what our relationship is. There's no need for false politeness." Zhong Min said impatiently, "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I have work to do and don't have the time to waste here with Madam Jiang."
Nanny Jiang was not surprised to see Zhong Min's impatience. She had already prepared herself mentally, knowing that she would definitely suffer from this girl's anger. "Look at what you're saying, young lady. It's really strange. There may have been some unpleasant things between us in the past, but isn't that all in the past? Besides, we all work for others. How dare we disobey the master's orders? Young lady, you are a kind-hearted person. Please forgive the stupid things I did in the past. After all, we work together and will see each other frequently in the future. It's better not to make things too awkward."
"What a joke! Madam, are you saying I'm ungrateful and don't understand the ways of the world?" Zhong Min didn't bother to be polite to Madam Jiang. After rolling her eyes, she said, "After all this trouble, I'm the one who's wrong now."
"That's not what I meant. Miss Min'er misunderstood." Seeing Zhong Min's strong attitude, Nanny Jiang had to lower her posture and said in a gentle voice, "I hope everyone can live in harmony and make big things small and small things disappear, don't I?"
Zhong Min said bluntly, "Really? I didn't hear that. Besides, from the beginning to the end, I wasn't the one causing trouble. It was always you who were looking for trouble. If Madam Jiang really has this intention, you should go back and try to persuade your master. Don't waste your breath on me and delay everyone else's work."
Seeing Zhong Min's rude words, Nanny Jiang was furious. If she hadn't been afraid of delaying important matters, she wouldn't have stayed here to listen to this damned girl's arrogance. She took a deep breath, trying not to let her emotions show.
Be patient, because the word "patient" is like a knife hanging over your head. It's a little sad at the moment, but soon this damn girl will never be able to be arrogant again. Let's see how she dies then!
When Nanny Jiang thought of what would happen to Zhong Min soon, she felt relieved. Not to mention how much trouble this damn girl had caused her beloved master, the fact that she had pushed her to the ground that time alone was enough to establish a grudge between them.
Ever since she followed her master into Prince Mu's mansion, no one had ever subjected them to such unfair treatment, until this Li Jin'er suddenly changed her personality and adopted the ridiculous name of Zhong Min. Humph! Whether you're Li Jin'er or Zhong Min, if you dare to cross them, there's only one outcome, and no one can change it!
"I know the girl is angry, and that's normal. We were wrong in the past. Even my wife feels a little guilty, saying that she had some misunderstandings with the girl in the past, which caused a lot of unhappiness."
Matron Jiang pretended to be patient and seeking reconciliation, and continued, "Look, my queen specifically ordered the old woman to come over and invite the young lady over for a chat. She said she wanted to talk to the young lady face to face about the past and resolve it."
"I can't bear this. Your Majesty is such a person, how dare a servant like me cause Her Majesty so much trouble?" Zhong Min chuckled and said nonchalantly, "As far as I'm concerned, as long as Your Majesty doesn't bother me for no reason in the future, I'll be thankful. As for the rest, I don't deserve it!"
"Young lady, you sound angry. Today, my master is kind enough to ask you to come over and clear up the misunderstanding and resolve the conflict. Only someone as capable as Miss Min'er can afford this honor. If it were someone else, the queen wouldn't take it so seriously."
Nanny Jiang continued, "Young lady, you will still have to work in Prince Mu's mansion and make a living. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Since the queen is so thoughtful, young lady, don't be angry anymore. Come with me and go there. Once you get there, you will know that what I said is true."
"No, I don't have time. I have to work, and I'm not like your master who has all the free time." Zhong Min ignored him and acted as if he wasn't going. "Go back and tell your master that I appreciate her kindness. There's no need to say anything to her face. Just keep your distance from her in the future."
After saying that, she turned around and walked in without giving any face at all. Seeing this, Nanny Jiang hurried forward to stop her: "Miss Min'er, don't go. Isn't the prince not here now? Just do me a favor and go with me so that I can report to you."
"How did you know the prince wasn't here?" Zhong Min paused and sneered, "It seems Madam has investigated everything thoroughly."
"Well..." Nanny Jiang realized that she had let the cat out of the bag in a hurry. After a moment's pause, she quickly explained, "Just now, while I was waiting for the girl at the door, I had nothing better to do, so I chatted with the guard. I just happened to know about it, just by chance."
"Coincidence? Madam, you're really thoughtful." Zhong Min snorted and said bluntly, "Yes, the prince is not here now, but he might be back at any time. Besides, whether you can complete the mission or not is none of my business. Do you think you still have any favor with me?"
Hearing this, Nanny Jiang could no longer maintain the pleasant expression she had pretended to have, and her face almost turned green with anger. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality reminding her not to miss the big thing, she really wanted to slap the damn girl a few times on the spot to vent her anger.
"Young lady, if you don't give me face, I naturally have nothing to say. But..." Nanny Jiang's face fell, no longer trying to please her as before, and she said with a stern face: "But young lady, you'd better consider that damn girl Xier. After all, you two have always had a good relationship. You don't want her to be punished by the Queen because of you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Min stared coldly at Nanny Jiang, her expression particularly grim: "Are you threatening me, Nanny?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I'm telling you the truth. You'd better come with me today. The Queen has done very well. Don't be shameless!" Nanny Jiang simply said harshly: "Of course, if you don't care about Xier, that's fine. It's a good opportunity to let that damn girl see clearly what kind of person her most trusted sister is, so that she won't be so naive and be deceived all day long."
"It seems I have to go today, even if I don't want to. Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone in Prince Mu's Mansion will spit on me in the future." Zhong Min said coldly, "In that case, it's okay to go. However, as you said, I'm only doing this for Xier's sake. It has nothing to do with you."
"Then let's go. The Queen is waiting impatiently!" Nanny Jiang cursed inwardly. She didn't want to have anything to do with this damn girl. Did she really think she was so great just because she was the prince's personal maid? No matter how high her status was, she was still a slave and would always be just a slave!
Zhong Min didn't bother to talk to Nanny Jiang anymore. The two of them walked one after the other without saying anything else. The show was about to begin. She smiled calmly, thinking about what was about to happen, and she felt a sense of great joy in her heart.
Zheng Ruyu, you brought this upon yourself, you can't blame anyone else. She's not someone to be trifled with, and now that they've come to her like this, how could she not accept the challenge?
After walking for a while, Zhong Min deliberately looked around, then pulled Madam Jiang aside and said, "Madam, did we take the wrong road? I've only been to your master's residence once, but I remember it wasn't this way."
"The Empress is waiting for you somewhere else, just follow her." Nanny Jiang said with an unhappy look on her face: "Do you think it's so glorious to reconcile with a servant like you? Do you want everyone to see it? You should keep the benefits you have received. Don't think that the Empress' kindness has no limit."
"It's just a question, is there any need to react so strongly?" Zhong Min said nonchalantly. "Besides, if you don't understand something, you should ask for clarification. If I were that easy to talk to, I'd probably be gone by now."
"You!" Seeing Zhong Min making indirect accusations, Nanny Jiang was extremely angry, but she still held back, snorted coldly, and continued to move forward.
"You deserve to be pissed off!" Zhong Min muttered to himself, then followed.
Wait, this is just the beginning. If you can't bear it now, how will you bear it later? She wanted to laugh in her heart, shook her head but said nothing more.
Nanny Jiang led Zhong Min to a secluded courtyard. Zhong Min knew exactly where this place was; she had already familiarized herself with the palace's terrain in preparation for her escape. It was indeed a good place, perfect for doing something shameful. It seemed Zheng Ruyu had put a lot of thought into this.
Following Nanny Jiang into a room in the courtyard, they saw Zheng Ruyu already waiting there. Seeing Zhong Min coming, the usually arrogant Zheng Ruyu immediately smiled and said affectionately, "Miss Min'er is here. I was worried that she would be angry with me and not come!"
