Then she remembered that Chu Qianyu had spent 1,400 taels of silver to buy someone today, which was a considerable expense, and she had never dared to do this before. Could it be that she was so reckless because Wang Man was gone?

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Chu Qianyu sternly and said, "Since Madam Man left, your behavior in the past two days has been very different from before. Although your starting point was good when you bought these servants. But now there is no one in charge of the household expenses. You spent so much money today, have you discussed it with an old woman like me? You really don't take me seriously now."

"Xiao Zhu is right. Your true nature is revealed because Wang Man is gone. I will tell you today. Even if Wang Man is gone, your mother can't manage the family with her sickly body! You should stop having these messy thoughts as soon as possible."

When Chu Xiaozhu heard her grandmother speaking up for her, she raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Qianyu with a smug smile.

When Chu Qianyu heard the old lady say this, she suddenly knelt on the ground, looking panic-stricken. Her eyes were red and tears fell like crazy.

Sobbing and unable to speak clearly, "Grandma, I am...unjustly accused. I and mother have never...never thought about these things. As long as the poison in mother can be cleared, I will...thank God. I don't have time to think about all these things."

"And you said your grandson has changed. Who wouldn't grow up after going through something like this? I still get scared when I think about what happened in the temple. I just hope that everyone in our family can be safe and sound in the future. I will be satisfied if my grandson can be safe and sound."

"I never thought...why would grandma think of her grandson like this. Woo woo woo~" After saying this, she took a handkerchief to wipe her tears and knelt on the ground. It seemed that she cried too hard, and before the old lady could say anything, Chu Qianyu fell straight backwards.

"Miss, Miss. What's wrong with you?" Shao Ying saw this and quickly stepped forward to support the person. Her lips were pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her eyes were tightly closed. She seemed to have fainted from sadness.

Then he heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted. Chu Jun walked in quickly and saw Chu Qianyu fainted. He hurried forward and said, "Let the doctor who is treating the nanny outside come in and check on the young lady."

After hearing this, the servant nearby quickly called the doctor in.

Chu Jun looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, you know what kind of personality Qianqian has. Why do you have to force her like this? Besides, Aying is seriously poisoned and so weak. How could the two of them think of causing trouble for themselves by managing household affairs?"

"And today, Qianqian went out to hire servants and came back to tell her son. You said this to her without knowing the truth. She was so aggrieved that she almost fainted. What if something bad happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the doctor had already started taking Chu Qianyu's pulse.

The old lady's eyes widened. She had never expected that this son who listened to her the most would now blame her for her daughter.

She was so angry that her whole body began to tremble. She pointed at him and said, "How did I force her? Now someone in this mansion has spent more than 1,400 taels of silver. Such a large sum of money is gone. Can't I ask? What's the matter with Madam Man's death? Now the servants in the mansion are keeping silent."

"Just say it was an accidental death. Madam Man is always very filial to me, much better than Yunying. I don't know what you like about her?" She seemed to have forgotten that Chu Jun had been away from home for ten years, and Yunying was in charge of all the affairs of the family. And when she was sick, Yunying was by her side, taking care of her without taking off her clothes.

Chu Jun certainly didn't know this. He just frowned slightly after hearing this.

Shao Ying said hurriedly, "Master, the people the young lady bought are all martial artists. It just so happened that our group had just arrived. She was afraid that someone else might buy them, so she quickly decided on them. When she came back, she was in a very depressed mood and told us that if Madam Man had someone who was martial artist by her side at the time, she might not have been harmed by others."

"And we prepared it for the old lady, the second young lady, the fourth young lady and the eldest young master. But we didn't expect that..." Shao Ying lowered her head after saying this, as if she felt sorry for these young ladies.

Chu Jun knew that Wang Man had ordered someone to poison Yunying, but he didn't expect Qianqian to be so kind. She even blamed herself for Wang Man's death.

He sighed and said, "Mother, I will explain Wang Man's death to you later. And she is closely related to Aying's poisoning. Now Nanny Song has returned. I also ordered someone to lock her up. I think the truth will be revealed soon."

"Qianqian has suffered too much injustice in the past two days. I hope mother will not embarrass Aying and Qianqian anymore in the future."

After saying this, the doctor had finished his inspection and stood up and said, "General, the young lady's emotions are too volatile. Maybe she was too excited and sad just now, so she fainted all of a sudden. She needs to rest well."

After Chu Jun heard this, he said to everyone, "I'll take Qianqian back first. And the servants I bought today will be assigned according to what Qianqian said."

As he was about to bend down and pick up Qianqian, Chu Xiaozhu stood up, pulled Chu Jun's sleeve and said, "Father, is it because mother is gone that you don't love me anymore? You have been here for a long time and you haven't even looked at your daughter. You were not like this before." She seemed to feel very wronged. Her father had never ignored her like this before.

Moreover, today, when she saw her father speaking for Chu Qianyu like this, she suddenly felt jealous. She wished that Chu Qianyu would faint. If she died, no one would compete with her for her father.

Chu Jun had no choice but to stand up, touched Chu Xiaozhu's head and said, "Silly child, what are you talking about? Father treats you all equally. Remember not to say these things in the future. Whether your mother is here or not, your father will never be partial to you."

"Okay, you should go home early if you are fine. Your elder sister fainted. Father will take her home first."

After saying that, without waiting for these people to speak, he bent down, picked up Chu Qianyu, and walked outside.

When he arrived at the yard, Chu Jun looked at the people standing in the yard who would come with Qianqian later. He picked two maids, one who looked mature and steady, and the other who looked younger and smarter.

He said to them, "You two should go to Bishuiyunju now to serve Madam."

Then he pointed to a servant and said, "You go too."

Then he looked at the servants in the courtyard and said, "Don't stand here anymore. You all belong to different courtyards. Go back to your own courtyards now."

After saying this, he walked straight out of the old lady's yard and returned to Ziyanyuan with Chu Qianyu in his arms.

The old lady who stayed in the room had a gloomy face and suddenly lost her mood. She said to Chu Xiaozhu, Li Jing and others: "You go back first. I am tired."

The two of them didn't dare to say anything more, so they stood up and walked outside.

By this time, Nanny Wang had also woken up.

Two servants hurried forward and carried the person inside.

The old lady felt distressed for a moment when she saw the person coming in. After all, Nanny Wang had served her for many years. Now this injury might...

Thinking of this, he looked at Nanny Wang and asked, "Do you know how you got hurt?"

Nanny Wang looked at her leg, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, saying, "I don't know. I originally told you that you were looking for her. On the way back, I walked to the rockery at the back, and somehow I missed a step and fell down, hitting my head on the rockery and fainted."

"Do you think this matter has anything to do with the maidservant beside Qianyu?"

Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "Probably not. The eldest lady was in the Madam's courtyard at the time. The doctor was treating the Madam and she couldn't get away. Besides, judging from the eldest lady's usual temperament, she wouldn't do such a thing."

"Maybe I am just unlucky. How can I serve the old lady in the future?" After saying this, he started crying with tears and snot.

The old lady frowned as she pondered over this matter, then looked at the doctor beside her and asked, "Can Nanny Wang's leg be saved?"

"The bone is visible in her leg injury, and I have just treated it. She will be able to walk in the future, but she will definitely not be as good as before. And her recovery ability is not as good as before as she is old. In my opinion, it is better for her to take good care of herself. If she walks too much, I am afraid her condition will not be good."

After hearing this, the old lady sighed and looked at Nanny Wang and said, "Given your current condition, I will send someone to send you back home to live out your retirement. I will also give you two hundred taels of silver. What do you think? This will be considered as fulfilling the master-servant relationship we have had for so many years."
