Old Madam Fang looked up and saw an old woman wearing gold and silver jewelry and holding a handkerchief in her hand, being supported by someone and looking at her.
Matron Hu narrowed her eyes and looked around the courtyard.
I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. It was too shabby. I don't know how much suffering the young lady had endured living here over the years.
"I'm Fang Jin's mother, and you are?" Old Mrs. Fang quickly stood up. For some reason, she felt a little restrained in front of this nanny.
"I am the nanny beside the lady of the Bo Mansion."
Ma'am Hu's words stunned everyone in the yard.
Bo's Mansion?
Someone really came!
The Fang family’s hope has come!
He came out of the kitchen, smiling widely, and went to hold Madam Hu's hand.
"This elder sister, I think she must be Qingya's biological mother, right? Let me tell you, I've loved Qingya dearly over the years. I really treat her like a precious child!"
"Are you here to pick someone up? Oh my, to be honest, I really don't want to let go. You know, raising a child is not easy."
Madam Hu was a little disgusted and took a half step back. She said unceremoniously, "Madam, you misunderstood. I am your wet nurse, and Qingya is my daughter."
Mammy? Aren't they still servants?
The aura was so strong that she mistook the wrong person for him.
He was a little embarrassed.
Half a minute later, everyone arrived at the main room. Except for Mr. Fang who couldn't get off the kang, everyone else was there.
Fang Jin was supported by his two sons when he came in. He also changed into a respectable long gown.
"Madam Hu, are you here to pick someone up? I wonder if the other people in the mansion are…"
Fang Jin frowned. The uncle's family only sent a servant to pick up the eldest daughter. This seemed too disrespectful.
"That's not the case, Master Fang. My young master will come here in person tomorrow."
Although Madam Hu looked down on this farmer's family, as an elder in the Earl's Mansion, she still knew etiquette and at least addressed them politely.
Fang Jin felt relaxed when he was called Master.
Before he could even begin to feign modesty, Matron Hu continued, "I'm sorry to say, but the Earl's Mansion only recently learned about the incident of the wrong child being taken away, so I'm a little late. I hope Master Fang will forgive me."
As she finished speaking, she took out a piece of thin paper from her sleeve and presented it to him.
Is this a silver note? Or a hundred taels note?
Fang Jin's breathing became a little faster, but his mind was still clear.
It was obvious that Madam Hu had something else in her words. What about the Bo's Mansion, as soon as they found out that they had taken the wrong child, they sent people to investigate before the famine?
"Madam, what do you mean?" Fang Jin didn't accept it directly, but asked tentatively.
Madam Hu's smile remained unchanged, but her tone became much firmer: "Master Fang is a smart man. He should know that there are some things that cannot be asked or said."
Fang Jin's face turned cold. Is this a threat?
A mere servant, yet you still want to control him? He is Fang Qingya's adoptive father after all.
"The Fang family raised Miss Qingya, which is a great favor. Our young master will definitely make compensation." Madam Hu continued.
Fang Jin raised his head and looked at her. The two looked at each other in a silent confrontation.
He got it.
This one hundred taels is equivalent to hush money. The specific time when the Bo family came to the door cannot be told to anyone else, not even to the young master of the Bo family.
As for the Fang family raising the wrong child, the Bo family has other compensations.
Fang Jin's expression softened a bit. "I will certainly be ready to welcome you tomorrow. I wonder when you will arrive, young master? Unfortunately, Qingya was framed and imprisoned a while ago. My Fang family is just an ordinary family, and even if we spent all our wealth, we couldn't save her. My father even fell ill because of this."
He sighed slowly, his brows full of worry, like an old father who was worried about his daughter.
He revealed the fact that Fang Qingya was imprisoned now because he was afraid that some nobleman would come tomorrow and blame them.
"Don't worry, Master Fang, our young master already knows about this and will rescue the young lady as soon as possible." Nanny Hu comforted.
Although they knew from the young lady's letter and their investigation that the Fang family was not very kind to the young lady, Madam Hu knew that the Earl's Mansion had no intention of pursuing the matter.
First, the mistaken child was a plot by the Bo family. If things really went wrong, the Fang family would file a complaint, which would damage the reputation of the Bo family.
Secondly, whether they like it or not, Miss Qingya and Miss Xiran are already involved with the Fang family, and they cannot damage the jade bottle just to kill a mouse.
Therefore, the best way to deal with the other family is to give them some small benefits to appease them.
Fang Jin didn't know what she was thinking and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing her work, Madam Hu was about to leave. If she was any later, the city gates would be closed and she would not be able to go back.
The Fang family came out together to see the guests off and were very polite.
Fang Tong and his daughter, who were squatting not far away, saw this and were quite curious.
"Who is this old lady? She looks quite wealthy. Could it be that the old man has hooked up with a rich woman?" Fang Tong murmured.
He now feels that it is a tradition for men in the Fang family to live off their wives. His eldest brother is one, he is one, and it is also normal for Old Man Fang to be included.
Fang Nanzhi lamented, "Dad, it's all your fault. You walked too slowly and I didn't eavesdrop!"
There was a hole in the wall behind the main house of the Fang family. The father and son used to squat there and eavesdrop.
It's been a long time since I had such a wonderful experience.
Fang Tong glanced at her and said, "I'm just worried you'll get dizzy if you walk too fast. Okay, let's go. Don't do this again. Isn't it said that a gentleman shouldn't look at or listen to anything indecent?"
The carriage had already gone far away, and the Fang family closed the door excitedly.
Fang Nanzhi could only look away, unconvinced: "I'm not a gentleman, Dad. When you took me to eavesdrop before, you said that a good gangster must be good at stealing and doing sneaky things."
"I'm not wrong. Your father is a gangster, so he can do this. But you are not, my daughter. Don't forget, you will become a famous doctor in the future."
Fang Tong tried hard to correct his daughter's thoughts.
His daughter will treat patients in the future. She will definitely be like the old doctor Zhou, collecting a whole carriage of gold, silver and jewelry!
You're so rich and powerful, why do you still eavesdrop? It lowers your status.
Fang Nanzhi put her hands behind her back and shook her head: "No, Dad, these two are not contradictory. A dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix. The daughter you gave birth to will also be a gangster. I want to be a gangster miracle doctor!"
The father and daughter went home arguing.
Qian Fengping watched in the yard and sighed, thinking that this little girl was a bit restless.
If she is not allowed to read or go out to play, she will harm the cows and give black circles under the eyes of three cows. If the cows are not good-tempered, they will kick her.
She is not allowed to touch the cow again. This is asking her father to go out again...
"Zhizhi, why don't you go to the provincial capital with your mother tomorrow." Qian Fengping was helpless. She had to keep this child under her nose, otherwise she would always make trouble.
Fang Nanzhi was indeed excited: "Okay, okay, Mom, what are we going to do in the capital?"
Of course, I went to the restaurant to book a room in advance.
