C3

Entering the side room, Mrs Chen was currently struggling against her will. Mrs Xu and a few other mothers had to work together to hold her down.

She could not stop shouting, "Miss, you can't punish me in private, I'm Madame's man!"

This side room was originally used by me to store some miscellaneous items. After years of unattended accumulation of dust, a layer of dust was shaken off by the effort of Mother Chen.

Mother Chen smiled proudly, "Then quickly release this servant!" She even shook her body, as if I would untie her right away.

"Mom, don't worry." I took a sip.

Gently putting down the teacup, the two made a crisp sound when they clashed.

"Mother Chen," she said. "What does Miss mean?"

"Since mama Chen didn't steal it, how did my Gold Silk Eight Treasures Pearl Beads Clip end up in mama's cage?" I smiled faintly and smoothed the wrinkles on my sleeves.

"That was gifted to me by the Sun family!" Mommy Chen stared with all her might, but she still had a fierce look on her face.

A dead duck's mouth!

"Oh? "What proof does Mommy have? I have never given this to anyone before."

Lu Ping abruptly raised her head to look at me.

A few days ago, when Lu Ping brushed my hair in the morning, my wet nurse, Sun Shi, came to ask for leave of absence. She said that her daughter was going to be married next month and wanted to accompany her to buy some things. I saw my wet nurse staring at the ornaments on my table and casually asked her about it, but she actually cried.

I knew in my heart that my wet nurse's daughter was a son of the family, and that she would be matched with a servant of the family, and that she would still be a slave even if she gave birth to a child.

I took a hairpin at random and handed it to my wet nurse. I smiled and told her that I would give the girls a box. My wet nurse happily asked her to come and kowtow to me. I also gave her a jade bracelet.

I didn't expect that when I went to pay my respects to my grandmother, I would see the bracelet on Mama Chen's hand. The texture of the water head was exactly the same as the one I had before. Last night I told Lu Ping to send the cheese to the wet nurse, and Lu Ping came back to say that the wet nurse was sitting alone on the kang by the window with tears in her eyes. Remembering that the little girl from the outer world also said that Mother Chen was evil and countered the monthly payment, I was even more certain that my reward actually helped Mother Chen.

This was a risky move. If I couldn't completely intimidate Mama Chen, she would definitely be suspicious.

I was nervous, and my hand shook a little as I held the handkerchief. Lu Ping, who had been standing behind me with her hands down, quietly retreated.

Fortunately, Mommy Chen's expression betrayed him.

The corner of her mouth twitched. Back then, Xue Lang was the same. He once told me with a smile that he only had me in his heart.

My belief in the past was so painful that it brought me today's observation.

"Miss, what evidence do you have?" Mama Chen shouted with her eyes wide open.

"Search your house." I smiled with unprecedented gentleness.

"You have no right to search my house!"

"Didn't mother want to prove her innocence?"

"What if we can't find the young mistress?"

"If I am wrong about you, you will continue to be your mother. I will not pursue today's matter further. " I smiled at her.

Under the bright and beautiful sunlight, Mama Chen had a clear self-confidence on her face.

It makes me feel bad!

Could it be that the hairpin wasn't in the courtyard?

Just as I was wondering, Lu Ping gently opened the door and saw me looking at her. She gave me an indiscernible nod.

My hanging heart was back in my stomach.

I wonder when mother Chen took that hairpin, did she ever think that my hairpin was right?

"Look at what this is?" I threw the phoenix hairpin in front of her face.

"This is impossible!" Mama Chen shook her body furiously, as if she could break free of the rope that bound her. "There is absolutely no such thing in this servant's room."

Of course not from her room!

It must be that Lu Ping just went to get the phoenix hairpin in my dowry.

"Looks like I'll have to work hard, Mom!" I smilingly stood up and slowly crouched down to be as tall as her. I leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Please cooperate with me in this show!"

After saying that, he elegantly stood up and brushed off the dust that did not exist on his body.

Mama Chen was pressed into her room by two stout women, and I followed her slowly with Lu Ping.

These mothers all had their own homes outside, and when they were on duty they stayed in the side rooms of my yard for the night. Originally, two mothers should be living in each room, and the two mothers in this room should be on duty together. However, because of her mother's decision, she didn't want to live with anyone, so she forced the wet nurse to stay in the outer room.

I knew all of this in my previous life, but I felt that this mother Chen was given it by her mother, so I didn't dare act rashly. I had been protected since I was a child by Mrs. Sun, a genuine person, but my mother was always on guard against my wet nurse. In my previous life, I had tried to get her away from me many times because I had been too dependent on her and had failed to protect my grandmother.

I'm afraid that this wet nurse of mine has a lot to write about too!

When I entered the house, I saw my wet nurse lying on the bed facing the wind. My mother's maidservants were in the inner room looking for stolen goods, and my mother was kneeling on the ground beside me.

I went up to check on my wet nurse, who was blushing and mumbling something.

I put my hand to her forehead.

"Madame Sun is staying with you. Why didn't you report her illness to me?"

I turned my head to glare at Mommy Chen and scolded her loudly.

"This servant has already reported it to Madam. Madam said that if it doesn't look good on her, ask her family to come and fetch her." Mother Chen looked at me without fear.

Family?

Everyone in the entire Residence knew that Sun Shi's husband had long since died. It was this daughter of hers who had been brought back from the Hall of Virtue by her grandmother.

She actually told me to let Sun family members come and get her!

"Good!" Good! It really is my good servant. " I was so angry I laughed.

Do you still think I'm the same lady as before? You think I won't borrow a knife to kill you?

After hearing my words, Lu Ping turned around and ordered a woman to invite the doctor. She blessed me and led a few Orchid maidservants into the inner room.

"Amma, didn't your daughter just get married a few days ago? How are you so sick?" I sat on my wet nurse's bed and looked at her thin face with a sad expression.

"Miss, servant, this servant only felt the chills occasionally, I am fine." The wet nurse avoided his gaze and looked at the kneeling Mama Chen with eyes full of fear.

"Miss, the doctor has arrived at the side door, please step into the room." Lu Ping respectfully replied while standing in front of me.

He saw that Mama Chen was kneeling on the ground. He was a bit surprised, but soon after he returned to his normal state, he showed his pulse to his wet nurse.

After asking for his pulse, Lu Kui and his husband went out to write the prescription.

Before they left, the doctor took another look at Mama Chen who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were filled with pity.

Mercy? It seemed that their friendship was quite deep!

I looked down at the fringed plum blossom embroidery on my sleeve and gave a slight smile.

How interesting!

The young maid lifted the soft curtain in front of me and I took a deep breath before walking out of the side room.

I took a sip of tea and looked down at Mama Chen, who was kneeling far away on the stone floor, and asked in a pitying tone:

"Has Mommy thought about it?"

"This servant has nothing to think about."

Mother Chen straightened her spine and fiercely glared at me, but the hem of her skirt slightly trembled.

Seeing this, I felt more at ease.

Slowly getting up, I squatted in front of Mommy Chen and softly asked:

"Mother, do you know how many times your daughter has snuck into my father's study?"
