Chapter 388 Threatening Nanny Zhou

“Grandma, what can we do?” Qin Yuru rushed to the bed and cried so hard when looking at Madam Di. She was overwhelmed by grief and did not look well, so she became more delicate and weak.

Di Fenglan also sympathized with her. Walking over and squatting in front of Madam Di’s bed, she comforted Qin Yuru in a low voice. “Cousin, don’t cry. Grandmother has arranged everything. An imperial physician will come soon. My father went to the palace early to invite the imperial physician this morning.”

“Will an imperial physician come to treat my mother?” Qin Yuru was shocked to quickly raise her head and asked, with her hands on the bedside trembling. If her mother really got well, what should she do?

Even if others did not know, how could she not know that it was because of her that her mother had been hurt so badly?

However, she had had no other alternative in that circumstance. If her mother had not been seriously injured, Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan would be fine. This should not be her mother’s intention, right?

Now it was because her mother had a bad plan full of loopholes that things had gone out like this, otherwise she herself would not have suffered this. But nothing had happened to Shui Ruolan or Qin Wanru.

Yes. It was Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru who should be blamed for. Had it not been for them, her mother would not have come up with such an idea to deal with them.

“Therefore, even if mother gets well, she will not blame me for this! ”

Thinking in this way made Qin Yuru not so panicked.

Old Madam thought that Qin Yuru was still sad, so she comforted her again and said, “Yes, we invite imperial physician Li from the palace. His medical skills are very good and your mother will be fine!”

Saying nothing this time, Qin Yuru just wiped her tears and nodded. Countess Yong, who had not liked her very much, could not help but become softhearted when she saw how filial Qin Yuru was lying in front of Madam Di’s bed. She came over to help Di Fenglan hold Qin Yuru up.

“Okay, don’t cry. From now on, if there is any problem, you can try to send messages to us in your own way. Your grandma and I will definitely support you. If you need to send messages to Duke Xing’s Mansion, aunt will help you too!”

“Thank you, aunt.” Qin Yuru cried and was about to bow again.

Countess Yong hurriedly reached out to hold her.

“Let other people leave!” Old Madam looked at the old maid beside Countess Yong and said.

“Yes, Old Madam!” Countess Yong knew that Old Madam did not think her subordinates were trustworthy enough, so she wanted to send them all out. Countess Yong dared not to disobey, so she waved her hand and all the servants left.

Nanny Zhou looked around and saw that she was the only servant in the room. She lowered her head and wanted to leave too, but was stopped by Old Madam. “Stay here!”

“Yes!” Nanny Zhou quickly turned around and stood in front of Madam Di’s bed.

Just now, there were so many people from Duke Yong’s Mansion that she had been pushed aside.

“Yuru, Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion has already recognized you as her granddaughter. She has sent someone to Duke Yong’s Mansion to ask about you, and I have also answered her according to your mother’s words! Last night, I specially asked someone to send a message to Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Old Madam whispered with a gloomy look on her face.

This matter was of great importance. Even though some subordinates were trustworthy, Old Madam was still very cautious about this.

“Then what did Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion say?” Qin Yuru looked at Old Madam with excitement.

“Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion said that she could not intervene in this matter because she had no valid excuse as justification now. Besides, Yuru cannot go out of the mansion recently, so she cannot meet Yuru either. Otherwise, she can say that she feels satisfied with Yuru and directly recognizes you as a granddaughter and then takes you away. Now we can only…” Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion frowned and said.

“Can only what?”

“We can only wait for the right timing. We must create an opportunity for you to meet Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Although Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion liked you before, she did not say that she wanted to take you as her granddaughter!” Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion frowned more.

The main problem was that they had taken action too slowly, otherwise Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion could have directly recognized Qin Yuru when they had met. Then, she could have intervened in Qin’s Mansion directly when Qin Yuru was in trouble.

Even if Old Madam of Duke Xing wanted to intervene now, she was powerless.

Qin’s Mansion and Duke Xing’s Mansion had nothing to do with each other.

Qin Yuru bit her lips and was very unwilling to give up. Considering Madam Di’s current condition, she was definitely unable to leave the mansion or attend any banquet held in other mansions in the capital city. Even if she wanted to visit Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion, she had no chance. No one knew when Madam Di could wake up. Looking at Madam Di, Qin Yuru thought, “Can it be that I will never have a chance?”

Thinking in this way, she felt desperate.

She was almost about to enjoy a skyrocketing rise, but now the beautiful future was inaccessible for her. She was not reconciled!

At this time, she even felt regret. If she had known that Madam Di’s being half-dead would affect her, she would have either killed Madam Di more quickly or done nothing at that time.

“Yuru, don’t worry about this. You can take care of your mother for a few days first. If you leave these days, what about your mother? You are her only daughter. If you leave, no one will help her when someone wants to hurt her. You need to help your mother recuperate first, and then make plans.”

Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion said. Of course, she wanted her daughter to get better first. Even if she could not talk in the future, at least she would still be alive. Madam Di should be taken good care of, especially during the new year. She would be in a good mood when her own daughter took care of her, which would also help her get better soon!

Although Qin Yuru wanted to refuse, she couldn’t because of these words. She was depressed in her heart but she had to pretend to be so happy to cry. She nodded again and again. “Grandmother, Yuru listen to everything that grandma arranges!”

“Good girl. It is best if you can think like this. When your mother is a little better, I will help you plan. You will definitely have a chance to see the Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion!”

Old Madam said with satisfaction.

“As long as my mother is OK, Yuru is willing to do everything!” Qin Yuru turned to look at Madam Di, and her face was covered with tears.

Standing on the edge of the bed, Nanny Zhou leaned more and more toward the corner of the bed, with a little fear in her eyes. In this room, only she knew exactly what happened that day, but she didn’t dare to say anything. For the first time she thought First Miss was frightening!

The person who wanted to kill Madam was First Miss. No one had thought of it. Now it was also First Miss who had shown her filial piety in front of Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion. When had First Miss been so horrible?

Since the matter was decided, everyone in Duke Yong’s Mansion also left. Before leaving, Nanny Huang hurriedly came here. Old Madam took her to the room on the side and talked for a while. Then they left with people.

“First Miss, I’ll pack things for you. Madam Dowager’s intention is to let you live in so that you can serve Madam Di nearby. She said that even if you can’t do it in person, when Madam Di sees you, she would feel better,” Nanny Huang said respectfully to Qin Yuru. Since then she was really considering for Qin Yuru.

“Nanny Huang, you are the only person I could rely on!” Qin Yuru sighed and said.

“First Miss, rest assured, I would certainly help First Miss!” Nanny Huang sighed helplessly. The demands of Old Madam of Duke Yong made her have to follow Qin Yuru wholeheartedly.

“Go and help me clean up!” Qin Yuru nodded and waved weakly.

Nanny Huang retreated.

The room was quiet, and Nanny Zhou’s body leaned carefully on the bed again.

“Nanny Zhou!” Qin Yuru said softly.

This voice sounded soft and gentle in the past, but it surprised her to tremble in her ears at this time. She raised a pair of horrified eyes, and looked at Qin Yuru timidly. “First Miss!”

“Nanny Zhou is afraid of me?” Qin Yuru stared at Nanny Zhou’s pale face with a smile and said.

This smile fell on Nanny Zhou’s eyes, as if she was smirking. Nanny Zhou’s lips pursed before she said something. “First Miss, I dare not!”

“Don’t dare? But is there anything you dare not do?” Qin Yuru laughed and said. She moved her steps and went forward, closing to Nanny Zhou.

Nanny Zhou’s body flinched back again. “First Miss, I don’t dare. I really didn’t see anything. I don’t know anything!”

“Did not see? You don’t know?” Qin Yuru stopped, and repeated it thoughtfully. Her cold eyes fell on Nanny Zhou’s face heavily, making Nanny Zhou tremble because of fear.

“First Miss… you… rest assured. I… really don’t know anything… definitely… and I won’t talk anything…” Nanny Zhou heard her teeth trembling noisily. But she didn’t dare to look up to see Qin Yuru.

“That’s the best!” Qin Yuru whispered and laughed. Her voice was gentle and clear, with the unique restraint of Miss from an aristocratic family. “Nanny Zhou served my mother with all your heart, and I hope that you can serve me like this!”

“Yes, First Miss, rest assured. I know. I know!” Nanny Zhou continued to say.

“Ask someone to arrange the place where I live. I just live in the second room on the right. It’s not next to my mother’s room!” Qin Yuru ordered.

“Yes, yes, I am going to prepare now!” Nanny Zhou almost fled out of the room. When she stayed outside, she felt that it was hot from her back. On such a cold day, she was scared to cold sweat.

Standing at the door, she wanted to look back, but after all, she didn’t dare. She gritted her teeth, and waved to the two servant girls on the corridor in order to ask them to come here. And then she took them to clean up the room for Qin Yuru.

As for Madam Di, since there was First Miss in the room, she no longer needed to worry about her!

“Mother, you also want to step on Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru? Then don’t blame me for being cruel. In fact, your daughter is not cruel enough, otherwise why would Mother still be alive!” Seeing that Madam Di was still asleep in the room, Qin Yuru murmured to herself, looking at Madam Di’s pale face.

After saying that, she reached out and touched Madam Di’s hair. Her eyes fell on Madam Di’s neck. A thick bandage was wrapped around the neck. She didn’t know how severe her injury was. She put down her hands, and wanted to unwrap the bandage, but she didn’t really do that.

The light came in from the window and fell on Qin Yuru’s face. Her face was smiling like a flower, reflecting Madam Di’s face which was without a trace of blood. It looked weird and chilling!

“Mother, don’t worry. You won’t die in vain!” She spoke with a neurotic voice. The room was cold and empty.

Madam Di’s eyelashes trembled. She lay on the bed and seemed to be waking up…
