"Butler Ye, please ask my mother-in-law to come over." Yuan Buwei wanted to see if Nanny Zhen could still maintain her current disdainful attitude when her mother-in-law came.

Mrs. Wanning Marquis arrived soon and saw Nanny Zhen kneeling on the ground.

Just now on the way, she learned what happened from Butler Ye.

He immediately coughed and asked, "Bu Wei, what's going on?"

"Mother-in-law, this is Aunt Zhen. Madam Meng sent her to ask Zhu Xin to go back. I asked one more question and she looked impatient. I don't know how I offended Aunt Zhen."

"Sister Bu Wei, it's my fault. Aunt Zhen has always disliked me. She saw that you were nice to me and stood up for me, so she..." Meng Zhuxin answered quickly, squeezing out two tears, "Aunt Zhen, please wait for me for a moment. I'll pack up now and go back with you. I've learned a lot of medicinal food from Sister Bu Wei in the past two days. I'll make it for my elder sister when I get back. I hope she can recover soon."

Aunt Zhen was dumbfounded, but she didn't say anything.

Why was a basin of dirty water splashed on me?

When the wife of the Marquis of Wanning heard what the two said, she understood. She held her hands and walked step by step to Nanny Zhen: "Although your wife and I are both the matrons of the marquis family, my great-grandfather was a founding hero of the Great Zhao, and my grandfather, father, and brother were all meritorious officials. I should be able to afford you a visit, right?"

Nanny Zhen's face turned pale and she kowtowed quickly.

As a result, before his forehead touched the ground, he heard the wife of the Marquis of Wanning said, "I have been here for so long. I told you that if you keep kowtowing, it's because I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble. Since you are not sincerely kowtowing to me, why bother to disgust me? Go back and tell your wife that I like Zhuxin very much and want her to stay in the Marquis of Wanning's mansion for a few more days. As for your eldest daughter, if she can't eat or sleep well because Zhuxin is not here, I can ask Butler Ye to go back with us and bring your eldest daughter to live in the Marquis of Wanning's mansion. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"I deserve to die. I never looked down on you." Nanny Zhen was really panicked at this moment and kowtowed desperately.

"Madam Zhen, you are a servant of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and you serve Madam Meng personally, which means she trusts you very much. Then your words and actions not only represent the opinions of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, but also those of Madam Meng." Madam Wanning sighed, "I have never had any grudges against your wife, so why does she dislike me?"

"No, it's all my fault because I was arrogant. It's my fault and has nothing to do with Madam." Nanny Zhen's voice was trembling. The wife of Marquis Wanning had put such a big hat on her. If she didn't give in, according to Madam's temper, she would definitely be expelled from Marquis Yong'an's Mansion. Her whole family depended on her job to make a living.

"Forget it. I've always been careless and not as careful as your wife. Just tell your wife what I just said." The wife of Marquis Wanning rubbed her aching temples. "Butler Ye, take her out."

"Old slave, please retire."

Nanny Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and obediently followed Butler Ye out, completely forgetting the purpose of her trip.

"My mother-in-law is amazing."

Yuan Buwei was really praising her, especially the sentence "I have always been careless and rough, not as meticulous as your wife."

It's about the connotation. Mrs. Meng is very cunning.

Mrs. Meng understood, but she couldn't go to the house to ask for an explanation.

Otherwise, as soon as she left the house, the whole capital would know that she was cunning and treated her two daughters differently.

"Madam Wanning, I'm sorry to trouble you." Meng Zhuxin walked out from behind Yuan Buwei and bowed to Madam Wanning. "When my eldest sister lives at home, I usually stay with her at night. I'm not at home these two days, so she must be not used to it."

"You are her sister, not a maid. Why should you stay with her at night?" Lady Wanning was very angry. "Could it be that the servants of Yong'an Marquis's mansion are cursed at night and become petrified and unable to move?"

"Mother said that no matter how good the servants are, they are not as attentive as my biological sister." Meng Zhuxin lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes nervously, "Why don't I go back, so as to avoid..."

"You are not allowed to go back."

Madam Wan Ning interrupted Meng Zhuxin and said, "We finally got you out of here. If you go back, your parents and your elder sister will definitely have evil thoughts again."

"Thank you, Madam Wanning. You are so kind to me."

It was just a matter of words, but the child was so grateful. Lady Wanning Hou felt distressed: "Bu Wei, take a day off today. Take Zhuxin to the backyard to relax, so that the child won't have any shadows in his heart."

"Why don't I call my second brother?"

"Okay, since you are all young people and can chat together, I will go call Bing'er and ask him to wait for you in the backyard." Lady Wanning Hou was eager for the two of them to develop feelings as soon as possible.

As soon as my mother-in-law left.

Yuan Buwei asked Meng Zhuxin: "When you gave your second brother the medicinal food that day, how did he react?"

"Don't mention it."

Meng Zhuxin looked frustrated: "Whenever I approached him, he would hide away, making me feel like a ferocious beast."

Yuan Buwei suppressed her laughter and said, "This is indeed something my second brother would be able to do. Just try harder."

"It may be due to the environment I grew up in. I can't even trust my own relatives, let alone someone I used. The more shy he is in front of me, the more uncomfortable I feel. I always feel that it is unfair to him to do this."

"Then take your time. Find an opportunity to speak to him about your true feelings. Of course, don't blurt out everything at once. Keep some things to yourself, lest one day when you have a fight, he turns your words into a sharp weapon to shoot at you."

Meng Zhuxin looked at Yuan Buwei in surprise, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "Sister Buwei, what you say always surprises me."

"Because what I said and the knowledge I gained, apart from my own thinking, were all taught to me by my master, senior brothers and sisters, especially my senior sister. She is a person with particularly comprehensive knowledge. When I was a child, I asked her, since she is so powerful and has such unique ideas, why doesn't she leave Medicine King Valley and create her own world?"

"And how did she answer?"

"She said that she had thought about this question before, but she didn't believe that she could shake the world by herself. She would rather study more prescriptions that can save people. She didn't want to be a savior, but wanted to continue to improve and grow in the field she was good at. The troubles in the world have nothing to do with her."

"She is... so free and easy, so transparent." Meng Zhuxin murmured, "I really want to meet her."

"There will be a chance." Yuan Buwei smiled, "Okay, let's go to the backyard and don't let my second brother wait anxiously."
