After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

In the distant sky, a white mist flashed by, and then a dull thunder fell to the ground, rumbling, as if it was hitting between the mountains.

Except for the nanny, even the steward didn't quite understand what had happened. However, the servants seemed to have realized something and knelt even lower, hanging their heads and exchanging suspicious glances in what they thought was a covert act.

Yuan Ge walked down the steps and slowly approached Mammy. He lowered his eyes and looked at her body that was shaking more and more violently. After a while, he sighed softly, "Until now, I have been thinking that maybe you don't know. Maybe you just served your old master a bowl of freshly cooked Tremella soup, even though... he has never had such a habit. But, it is obvious that you know... right?"

The nanny hung her head, neither begging for mercy nor making excuses. Her back, which could not be straightened, became increasingly hunched and thin, and trembled in the wind... Yuan Junfeng looked away, ultimately unable to bear the answer that was about to come.

Yuan Ge sighed softly, "These days, I have screened the people around the Great Elder again and again, those who have been here for only a few years, those who have dirty hands, those who have made mistakes and been punished... I have considered them carefully, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. In the end, you guys are left, and you are the most trustworthy people around the old man. And you, Mammy... I am the first one whom I don't want to and have never doubted." His almost gentle voice and compassionate eyes, just the way he stood there quietly made people feel helpless and distressed.

Finally the nanny could not hold it in any longer and kowtowed, shouting "I am guilty" over and over again. She cried as she shouted, and her forehead banged on the bluestone floor. The sound was so heavy and deep that it made one's teeth ache when one heard it.

She said "guilty" instead of "wrong", obviously she knew exactly what she had done. Yuan Junfeng sighed, but still couldn't figure it out, "You... why did you do this? Did I treat you badly on weekdays? Do you know what you sent in? It would be fine if you only harmed me, but now you want to destroy my entire Zhixuan Mountain! Have you ever thought that you will be infected too? So, why is this happening!"

The old man sighed repeatedly, he really couldn't understand it.

The nanny is an old lady from Zhixuan Mountain. She used to be a villager at the foot of the mountain. Her husband died at a young age, and she became a widow with a daughter. She makes a living by selling homemade stinky tofu. The mother and daughter care about each other, and their life is stable although it is tight... The girl is about to reach the age of 15, and she has even been betrothed to a man. It is said that the man is a well-mannered and knowledgeable scholar, with good looks and a gentle temperament. Both her parents are at home, and they are both well-known good people in the surrounding area. Therefore, everyone says that the girl from this widow's family must have burned incense in her previous life.

Unexpectedly, it rained and it was a rainy night. The girl accidentally fell into the water on her way home. There was no one passing by in the middle of the night, and she was gone just like that.

Having been a widow for many years and having lost her only daughter, the nanny was so sad and angry that she almost followed him to the mountain. It was a kind-hearted villager who took the initiative to ask if the mountain was hiring old women. Only then did he recruit her to the courtyard, and she has served him for most of her life... Being alone and childless, there is nothing to be bullied about. Zhixuanshan was somewhat kind to her, and Yuan Ge really couldn't imagine why the other party would do such a thing.

Mammy knocked hard and her forehead was bleeding. The blood spread along the old wrinkles and mixed with the cold sweat on her forehead. Her face was in a state of embarrassment. She choked and said intermittently, "Steward Zhan, Steward Zhan said that the Third Master is willing to help this old slave get revenge..."

"Revenge?" Yuan Ge looked at the unexpected answer. In the early spring morning, the eastern sky was faintly pale. She calculated the time and asked the steward to go to the medicine garden to invite Feng Qingtan over. Then she continued to say to the nanny, "Go on."

This time, the manager did not ask Yuan Junfeng for instructions and went straight down.

The nanny kowtowed several times with sobs before continuing, "Young lady... that is my poor daughter. When she died, she was still two months away from the age of coming of age. Children from poor families don't have the custom of coming of age ceremonies, but she was blessed in the second half of her life. The matchmaker found a good marriage for her, and she was going to get married when she turned fifteen. That day, it was Mr. Liang who invited her out to eat rice dumplings with fermented rice wine. She didn't want to go at first, saying that she was not feeling well. She always said that she was not feeling well during that period, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong. So I thought it was because the wedding date was approaching and I persuaded her to go, saying that this marriage, this marriage is already marrying up, and she can't let her temper make Mr. Liang unhappy..."

"But that day... she was gone... It rained heavily at night, and the bridge was mossy and muddy. She slipped and fell into the water. I can't blame anyone but her bad luck! But, but I'm not a fool. Her body was covered with bruises, new ones overlapping old ones, deep and shallow. There were obvious pinch marks on her neck... But the officials were like blind people. They just said that she slipped and that the bruises were caused by being hit by a huge rock under the water. They also said, also said... They also asked me to consider the reputation of my daughter's family after her death!" She cried as she spoke. She was sobbing to the point where she could not speak and only vaguely could hear a whole sentence.

Xu Chengjin brought a stool from the house and let the elder sit on it. He then squatted beside him and concentrated on checking his pulse. His face looked gloomier and more serious than ever. Hearing this, he suddenly spoke, "It is understandable to take revenge when there is revenge and to take grievances when there is grievance. If you have no ability, you can ask others to help you take revenge. Whether you give money or life, it is a matter of mutual consent. But you want to take the lives of everyone in Zhixuan Mountain to avenge your dead daughter? You dare, but I don't know if your poor daughter can bear the hundreds of lives on this mountain! Ha... Aren't you afraid of adding hundreds of sins of killing to her next life?"

The almost chilly ending sound fell in the yard swept by the cold wind, piercing people's hearts.

When the servants who didn't know what happened heard "hundreds of lives", they all looked at Mammy. Under the heavy gaze, Mammy looked more and more fragile, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She swayed slightly and was unable to refute, "I didn't..."

"Didn't you think so?" Yuan Ge answered. Sure enough, when people get angry to a certain extent, they will laugh. She was actually amused. "But you did it this way. How many years have you served the old man? Is there anything you can't talk to him about? You want revenge, can't you find the Great Elder? If you beg him, will he ask you to commit crimes and kill people?! Now that the Third Elder has fled and can't protect himself, do you really think there will be someone to avenge you? Stupid! I shouldn't have kept you in the first place! The Yuan family was ruined because of being too kind!"
