Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1392 - 1390: Finding a Scapegoat

Nanny Wei’s head was red and swollen from knocking it repeatedly, until Madam Wang finally told her to get up. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Madam." Nanny Wei said timidly, with a pale complexion: "Madam, please believe the old servant. My whole family has no intentions of harming Madam!"

Madam Wang rubbed her brow, her face exhausted: "I know!"

As a servant, everything depends on the master. If the master is not doing well, how could these loyal servants fare any better?

She watched Nanny Wei punish herself, merely blaming her for being ineffective and finding an outlet for her emotions.

"It’s not you, then it must be that vile woman who obtained some information from the inside, or perhaps even has leverage over us!" Madam Wang opened her eyes, her expression alarmed: "And then there’s Lu Xiaodie, two pieces of evidence. What does she want? What does she plan to do to me?"

Nanny Wei’s heart trembled.

If this is the case, then the opponent’s methods are truly terrifying. Holding such leverage, would she not do something to use it?

"Madam..."

Madam Wang looked sharply at Nanny Wei, saying: "The Old Madam said, if this matter is exposed, I’ll have to go to the family temple."

Nanny Wei was startled, her lips trembling.

"Wet nurse." Madam Wang grabbed her hand, saying: "I didn’t do this, I didn’t give the order. I was just complaining, and it’s the wet nurse who sympathizes with me, isn’t it? That’s right, isn’t it? You care for me, wanting to ease my mind, so..."

Listening to her, Nanny Wei’s heart sank further; Madam means for her to take the blame for this.

"Wet nurse, I can’t go to the family temple, Ningning and the others still need me, they can’t be without a mother, wet nurse." Madam Wang looked at Nanny Wei like a child, with a face full of pleading.

She regretted. Earlier, she panicked in the Old Madam’s room and admitted it outright. Why didn’t she think to put the blame on this old servant? She had been blinded by anger and jealousy lately, losing rationality and judgment!

Nanny Wei said: "Madam, don’t panic, things haven’t come to that yet, right now nothing has happened, isn’t that so?"

"They’ve already come after me, don’t you get it?" Madam Wang shook off her hand, her eyes slightly manic: "Lu Xiaodie is hiding somewhere, ready to bite me at any moment, and with this matter, wet nurse, you’re the one exposed for both incidents. But neither of these have you handled properly."

She stared fixedly into Nanny Wei’s eyes, waiting for her to respond.

Nanny Wei’s heart grew colder, only after a long time did she produce a bitter smile, bowing her head, saying: "Yes, it’s all the actions of the old servant, driven by the sight of Madam’s suffering; it’s all secretly done by the old servant."

Madam Wang finally exhaled a breath of relief, saying: "Wet nurse, if it truly comes to that, rest assured, I will take care of Xiao Shan and the others. I’ll free his good record in the future, let him take the imperial exam to make a name for himself, I won’t treat him poorly."

Nanny Wei knelt down, bowing to the ground: "The old servant thanks the Madam for her kindness."

Unfortunately, Madam Wang could not see her bowed head, full of self-deprecating bitter smiles and coldness.

Madam Wang personally helped her up, saying: "Wet nurse, as you said, things haven’t reached that point yet. But with the leverage in others’ hands, we can’t just sit here and do nothing, especially with the Old Madam."

"What does Madam plan to do?" Nanny Wei asked quietly.

Madam Wang’s eyes flashed, her voice cold and stern: "With a dual approach. I cannot allow the Old Madam to manipulate me, I’ve put so much effort into this family, I can’t let her send me to the family temple. Those decoctions need to be prepared."

Nanny Wei’s heart began to tremble fearfully.
