Chapter 560: 217 Moving Away from Lian Mansion (Part 2)

Yuebing’s expression turned sour upon hearing Nanny Hao’s words, "What are you talking about, Nanny? What do you mean by saying Uncle Master cares for the third younger sister more than anyone else? We are all her family and we naturally care about her. This incident was an accident and nobody wanted it to happen."

Nanny Deng, who had just come out from the storeroom, was bound to follow Yueyao to Ma’s Mansion, and so she was not to be left in the front courtyard. This time, Nanny Deng was also meant to go with her. Nanny Deng was now organizing the storeroom, registering everything that needed to be taken along to avoid leaving anything behind.

The look in Nanny Deng’s eyes when she heard Yuebing’s words was like daggers, as if she wanted to tear Yuebing into pieces. She scornfully said, "Stop pretending here; it makes one sick to watch. Our girl might not even survive if she doesn’t leave now, likely to be poisoned to death by Lady Mo right here." Nanny Deng, knowing that Yueyao had been poisoned, wished she could grab a knife and fight Lady Mo to the death. Now that Yuebing had appeared, Nanny Deng naturally vented all her anger on her.

Yuebing’s face flushed with anger as he retorted, "What nonsense are you spewing here?"

But Nanny Deng wasn’t afraid of Yuebing at all, "If it wasn’t for our girl’s strong fate, she’d have been poisoned to death long ago. Just to target our girl’s wealth, someone could stoop so low to poison her; I’ve seen shameless people, but never anyone as shameless as this, it’s utterly disgraceful."

Just as Yuebing was about to vehemently silence Nanny Deng, he saw her sitting on the ground, bursting into loud sobs, "Old Master, Madam, you entrusted the young lady to this old servant, but I failed to protect her well. If anything happens to the young lady, I am willing to give my old life to have the vicious woman pay with her life."

Yuebing’s face turned deathly pale, while Yueying just stared, dumbfounded, at the weeping Nanny Deng.

Yuehuan clenched her fists tightly, realizing from this incident that Lady Mo was truly a person who would choose money over integrity. For the sake of wealth, she could commit such heinous deeds.

Nanny Hao quickly had Xi Yu take Nanny Deng inside the house. Nanny Hao did not wish for further complications and hurriedly said, "If the young ladies wish to know the reason, it’s best to ask Old Master and Madam! Second Young Lady, our girl is resting and cannot be disturbed."

Yuebing, feeling a chill down her spine from Nanny Deng’s murderous gaze, agreed quickly, "Alright." After saying this, she hurriedly departed, truly frightened by Nanny Deng this time.

The group hurried away.

Nanny Hao turned to Nanny Deng and said, "Can’t you restrain yourself a little?" She felt Nanny Deng had gone too far. The Great Master clearly wanted to suppress the matter, yet with Nanny Deng stirring things up, now everyone would know.

Nanny Deng snorted coldly, "There’s nothing to restrain. With such shameless people, you have to tear off their masks. Our girl is just too kind, and that’s why she’s being bullied by that Vicious Woman; I’ve seen enough now, we can’t go on like this."

Thinking that Nanny Deng was a free woman and now that the Eldest Young Madam of Ma Family was supporting her, Nanny Hao no longer worried and comforted her, "Nanny Deng, I know you’re upset, and I am too. But it’s better if you don’t go out these next few days."

Nanny Deng was intentionally exposing Lady Mo’s vile nature in front of the three young ladies; she wasn’t really going to confront Lady Mo openly. She wasn’t afraid, but her girl still needed to maintain a good reputation. She responded, "Don’t worry, I know my limits." Besides, in a few days, her girl would be heading to Ma’s Mansion, no longer having to stay in this dreadful place.

Yueying, upon returning from Lanxi Courtyard to her own courtyard, entered the house and instructed Cai Qing, "Nanny Deng said Yueyao was poisoned, and it was by our mother. Go outside and find out what really happened." Yueying was very curious.

Cai Qing shivered and quickly pleaded, "Miss, it’s best if we do not inquire about this matter. Old Master has already ordered that no one is allowed to speak of it. If the Old Master finds out, it definitely won’t end well for you." Cai Qing did not want to court disaster, as it might be fatal.

Yueying, after thinking for a moment, said, "Then let’s not inquire for now."

Cai Qing watched Yueying pick up her needlework again and started to daze. Yueying turned her head upon noticing Cai Qing’s expression and asked, "Is there something else?"

Cai Qing shook her head and withdrew. Once Cai Qing was back in her own room and sat down, she realized she felt ice-cold all over, not just her body but her heart as well. She was well aware of how much the Third Young Lady had helped her own young lady—first by helping the Eldest Miss avoid the marriage to the Chen family, then caring for her when she fell ill in the mountains, and later regarding financial matters, the Third Young Lady had shown immense kindness to her own Miss. But now, with the Third Young Lady’s fate unknown, the Eldest Miss not only showed no distress but also discussed the matter with eager interest; how heartless she must be!
