Chapter 19: Serves her right
A thumping sound was heard as Bao Sheng's forehead hit the ground. A few softhearted women could not help but feel a little sorry for her.
However, Nangong Yue did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for her. Since she dared to do so, she must have the resolve to bear the consequences of being discovered!
The Old Madame had controlled the inner chamber for many years, and had seen countless underhanded affairs. Her subordinates were also not lacking in blood, so naturally they would not feel pity for Bao Sheng.
She twisted the buddhist beads in her hands, but did not say anything.
"Mother," Madam Huang flattered as she moved closer to the Old Madame, proposing, "This lowly maid, how dare she dare frame Master, in my opinion, she should be killed …"
At first, she was still getting more and more excited as she spoke, but after the Old Madame coldly glanced at her, her momentum weakened. In the end, she could no longer clearly hear what she was saying.
Madame Zhao tactfully accepted, "Mother believes in Buddha, so it is natural that she is merciful. In the eyes of a daughter-in-law, we should first pull Bao Sheng down and slap her a hundred times before selling her off, as an example to others!"
"Yes, Madam!" The two burly women immediately hoisted her up and carried her out of the room. "Please spare me, madame!" "Old …" Soon, her voice could no longer be heard. It was obvious that her mouth had been covered.
For a moment, the sound of the plank slapping against her face was heard again and again, but Bao Sheng didn't even make a sound.
The maidservants in the east were all shocked, but none of them dared to make the slightest sound.
However, Nangong Yue remained indifferent. She lowered her eyes slightly and thought to herself, I hope that I can make an example out of this incident today!
She wanted this servant of the Residence to know that their second branch was not easy to bully!
Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed through Nangong Yue's eyes. She swore to herself that she would protect her mother and brother.
"Yue'er …" Madame Lin looked worriedly at Nangong Yue, thinking that she had been scared.
Only then did Nangong Yue come back to her senses. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Mother, I'm fine."
The Old Madame coldly swept her gaze over them, then raised her hand and said, "I'm getting on in age, so I feel tired just by tossing and turning. All of you can leave for now. "
"Yes, mother (grandmother)!"
Everyone bowed and left.
When they got back to the Drifting Cloud Courtyard, Nangong Xin suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. His shoulders slumped down as he patted his chest with his right hand and said, "It scared me to death!"
Upon hearing these words, Madame Lin anxiously ordered the maidservant: "Lu Ya, hurry and brew a cup of Spirit Calming Tea for Second Young Master!"
"I don't want to drink it!" Nangong Xin rejected the idea and pulled Nangong Yue towards his room, "I have a little sister, that's enough."
As he walked, he whispered into Nangong Yue's ear, "Little sister, you're right! Grandmother was indeed very scary! You must not go alone in the future. You must definitely accompany me!
He looked very worried. He frowned and touched the top of Nangong Yue's hair, "Do you understand now?"
Nangong Yue was stunned. She looked straight at her brother and nodded her head, "En!"
Ever since then, Nangong Yue would first come to Nangong Xin's side early in the morning, accompanying him and Madame Lin to Rong An Hall to pay respects.
Ten days passed just like that. Nangong Yue's memories from her previous life were not far away. She thought that she had to finish this matter before she entered her room.
Thus, while Yimei and Yixuan were walking away, Nangong Yue found an opportunity to talk to An Niang alone, "Nanny, do you have any way to bring me out of the manor?"
"Third miss?!" An Niang was clearly frightened. In her heart, Nangong Yue had always followed the rules. She never expected that she would propose such an outrageous request.
"Nanny, it's my first time in the capital. I've never seen what the capital looks like, and I'm already sick." Nangong Yue tugged on An Niang's sleeve.
Her eyes were filled with pleading and her large watery eyes blinked. She was only missing a little bit of her tail. No one would be able to refuse her. Just take me out for a walk."
Moreover, An Niang had always treated Nangong Yue like her own daughter. She thought that the third miss must have been sick for a long time and was depressed, so she felt pity for her.
She had always been soft-hearted. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded her head and said, "Nanny will let you go. I just have to take Yixuan out first …"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect An Niang to have a plan as well.
An Niang continued, "It just so happens that Yixuan will be resting for two days. She will definitely go home. "Third Miss, how about tomorrow?"
Nangong Yue nodded, "Then Yimei …"
"Third Miss, if the two of us leave the manor together, we won't be able to hide it from Yimei." An Niang carefully analyzed, "I think Yimei is honest and reliable, so we should be able to trust her. "Oh, Yimei is also suffering. She has no parents, and she even met an evil uncle who sold her out …"
An Niang chattered on for a long time while Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes. This was the first time she had heard about Yimei's origins. She suddenly thought of that bowl of passive medicine. Perhaps she could give it a try …
Nangong Yue came up with an idea. "Nanny, I believe in you. You can arrange it."
She looked at An Niang with a face full of trust, as if she were an innocent child. She wasn't just trying to sound nice. She truly believed in An Niang. Aside from her mother and grandfather, An Niang was probably the person she trusted the most!
Seeing this, An Niang couldn't help but reveal a warm smile, as if she was looking at her own daughter. She said, "Don't worry, Third Miss. I will definitely help you with this matter."
Two days later, Nangong Yue went to pay respects to her grandmother and was quickly sent back to her room to rest as she wished.
By the time she returned to Black Bamboo Courtyard, An Niang had already prepared a set of maid dresses for her. With the collaboration of An Niang and Yimei, a third-class maidservant was born.
"Third young miss, you should come back earlier …"
Yimei said timidly. Obviously, she was worried, but she didn't try to stop them.
Nangong Yue gave her a meaningful glance before following An Niang to the west gate. Mother An was clearly very familiar with the gatekeeper. She only thought that Nangong Yue was a new maid and did not pay much attention to her. She only greeted An Niang and let them leave the house.
It wasn't until they went out the door and turned a corner that Nangong Yue finally relaxed. She really came out!
She reminded her like a hen protecting a chick, "Third Miss, please follow me closely. Although it's very lively and interesting outside, there are still many bad people out there. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to take care of you."
"Nanny, I understand." Nangong Yue nodded her head and changed the topic, "From now on, don't call me Third Miss. Call me … Call me Shan. "I'm not calling you An Niang, I'm just calling you Aunt An."
"This... "I can't afford, this servant …" An Niang was still in fear. However, Nangong Yue turned a deaf ear and strode out onto the street. An Niang had no choice but to follow.
