On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

She had been frowning at the two maids just a moment ago, but now she had put on a gentle smile and comforted the two maids, "I was just anxious just now. You are all very good. Don't worry, when this is done, I will never treat you unfairly."

Qiyue and Jiaoyue exchanged a glance without leaving a trace, and knelt down at the same time, "I swear to follow you till death, young lady."

...

Hong has not yet left Fuyao Hall.

She was bumped into by a reckless and rough maid.

Because she was caught off guard, Hong was knocked back two steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Ah... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Madam, please spare my life... I really didn't mean to eavesdrop... I would let the secret rot in my heart..."

"Please, Madam, have mercy on me and let me go..."

The servant girl kowtowed continuously until her hair became disheveled and her appearance became completely unrecognizable.

When Hong heard the word "secret" from the maid, she intuitively thought that Su Qishun must have kept someone behind her back, and she immediately winked at Nanny Dai.

Nanny Dai stepped forward and grabbed the maid's hair to stop her from kowtowing.

"Speak clearly, what secret is it?"

"I...I dare not say..." The maidservant was so rough that her head was broken and bleeding. Her tears, snot and blood mixed together and covered her face, making her look extremely terrifying.

Hong pretended to be calm and covered her nose with a silk handkerchief.

Nanny Dai even loosened her hand that was pulling the maid's hair and cursed, "You unlucky thing, you dare to come here to cause trouble on a day like this, someone..."

"Don't... don't beat me to death. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home. Madam, please have mercy on me..." Before Nanny Dai could finish her words, the servant girl continued to kowtow her head.

Mrs. Hong was so shocked by the scene that her head was buzzing. Finally, she could only say, "Alright, today is a happy day, it's not good to shed blood. I will spare your life. Tell me what great secret you heard that made you so nervous."

"Madam..." Nanny Dai was about to step forward to remind Mrs. Hong that time was running out.

However, Mrs. Hong raised her hand to interrupt Nanny Dai.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Nanny Dai's eyes.

He turned and said to the servants behind Hong, "Everyone step back two feet."

With fewer people around, the servants became bolder.

She stopped crying and wiped her face with her sleeve.

This rub made my face even more dirty.

But Hong was so curious about whether that bastard Su Qishun had done something wrong to her again that for a moment, her attention was not focused on a mere maid.

She rarely lowered herself to half-kneel in front of the maid, who raised her head and told her the secret that could cost her life at any time...

The secret was so shocking that when Hong heard it, the color of blood instantly faded, and she didn't even know how to keep the angry expression on her face...

Nanny Dai also heard the secret.

But she was Hong's wet nurse after all. Before following Hong, she had always been with Hong's mother, so she had seen a lot of the world.

So when she saw a brief daze on Hong's face, she quickly took control of the situation, showed rare mercy, and helped the maid up.

The old man narrowed his cloudy eyes slowly, as if trying to see through the maid's true thoughts. "Are you sure that what you heard is true, without missing a single word?"

There was nothing else in the servant girl's eyes except fear and panic.

"I dare not lie, please spare my life..."

Nanny Dai smiled kindly, pushed the messy hair of the maid behind her ears, and said in a half-coaxing tone, "If what you said is true, then you are a great contributor to the Marquis' wife. The Marquis' wife is grateful to you so much that she would never hurt you. By the way, do you have other people in your family? If you need to find a job, I can also arrange for your family to work in the mansion."

Hearing this, the maid's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "You're not going to kill me? The Marquis' wife and the nanny are really good people. It's a pity that I'm an orphan, otherwise I could ask my brothers and sisters or parents to come and ask the nanny to work for me..."

Nanny Dai's face remained kind and she patted the maid's hands, which were covered with calluses on the knuckles and knuckles, lovingly. "Are you the only one in your family now? Are you working as a farmhand in the mansion, or have you signed a contract?"

When the servant girl heard Nanny Dai asking about her life experience, she was about to cry again.

"I am alone, so...I signed a contract when I entered the mansion to work, so I ask Madam to spare my life."

The goal was achieved. Nanny Dai could no longer hold on to the kindness on her face. She let go of the hand that was supporting the maid and called over two of the maids who had just retreated two meters away. "You, take her to the back room of Fuyao Hall and settle her down. When you are done, make other arrangements for her."

"Thank you, Mammy. Thank you, Mammy."

When the servant girl heard that she was settled in, she almost knelt down to express her gratitude.

Fortunately, the two maids were quick and agile and quickly dragged the servant away.

When Nanny Dai was trying to persuade the maid to talk, Hong's sanity began to return gradually, and the color that had faded from her face gradually returned.

By the time Nanny Dai had the servant girl dragged away, Hong had already turned back into the graceful and dignified lady of the marquisate.

"Madame Dai, what do you think?"

There was a hint of undisguised disgust and coldness in his voice.

Nanny Dai lowered her eyes and said, "The young master's status cannot be shaken. It is best to root out the problem. If we can kill as many seedlings as possible, we should do it."

"Since the Concubine Xian has personally sent someone here, we can't go against her will." Hong made a prompt decision, "When the banquet starts, find a time to send someone to tie up that little bastard and send him over, and by the way, clean up the trouble just now."

"I know."

After getting Nanny Dai's assurance, Mrs. Hong gracefully extended her hand to let Nanny Dai support her, and the group walked towards the front yard in a mighty procession as if nothing had happened.

...

The front yard of the Changping Marquis Mansion was already full of guests and was extremely lively.

Before Hong could appear in public, she heard several noble ladies making sarcastic comments.

"Alas, Hong is still lucky. She doesn't have to fight for anything in the Changping Marquis' Mansion. Others just bring it to her door."

"Isn't it? The one who can carry the banner in the mansion is an adopted son who has no blood relationship with us. The bad reputation belongs to the second branch, and the good reputation belongs to the Changping Marquis's branch. How come we haven't encountered such a good thing?"

"Don't tell me, haven't you noticed? Compared to the current Marquis of Changping, General Weiyong seems to have more of the demeanor of the old Marquis of Changping. Do you think it is possible..."
