Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 439: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 11

Seeing Yuan Wei asking the question, Nanny Wu hurried forward and answered respectfully:

"To answer your question, young lady, I heard that my cousin accidentally fell off her horse while out for an outing today. Not only did she get her face scraped, but her foot was also crushed by the wheel, breaking a bone."

After hearing what Madam Wu said, Yuan Wei's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and continued to ask with interest:

"Has my mother heard about this? How did she react?"

Nanny Wu quickly replied:

"Madam had learned of this news earlier. After learning about this, she immediately sent Madam Zhou to visit the cousin at the Feng Mansion. However, Madam Zhou had just reached the gate when she was stopped for some reason. After that, Madam did nothing."

Yuan Wei was not at all surprised by Feng's reaction.

It would be strange if Feng didn't react when she heard that Feng Zhining was injured.

Fortunately, Feng was still rational. She quickly came to her senses and forcibly suppressed her anxiety.

"I know. Has Duan Yue returned?" Yuan Wei asked softly.

She was accompanied by four maids, namely Xingyue, Duanyue, Heyue and Guiyue.

Among these four, only Xingyue grew up with the original owner, and the other three were maids carefully trained by the Duke's Mansion.

Each of these three has their own strengths:

Duan Yue has a calm personality, great strength and is good at martial arts;

He Yue has a gentle temperament and is well versed in the art of medicine and poisons;

As for Guiyue, she is a smooth and sophisticated person, good at socializing with others.

If the original owner had brought any of the other three maids with her when she went to the Princess's Mansion instead of Xingyue, she might not have been completely helpless when she was plotted against.

It was precisely because the original owner usually valued and relied on Duan Yue and the other two that Xing Yue became so frightened when the original owner encountered trouble.

At this time, only Aunt Wu could be heard to reply respectfully, "My lady, Duan Yue has returned."

Yuan Wei nodded slightly, "That's good."

Nanny Wu hesitated for a while and saw Yuan Wei sitting there quietly, seemingly lost in thought, with no intention of speaking again.

She hesitated in her heart, but finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Miss, Xingyue has looked much more haggard these past two days... I wonder what your plans are for her?"

Ever since they learned that the young lady had nearly met with an accident at the Princess's residence, those who followed the young lady had become extremely complicated in their feelings towards Xingyue who was by her side at the time.

Although the girl was safe in the end, it is an indisputable fact that Xingyue failed to protect her master.

More importantly, this incident almost implicated everyone in Yimengxuan and caused them to suffer an unexpected disaster.

However, seeing Xingyue's restless and anxious appearance over the past two days, Nanny Wu finally felt pity for her.

No matter what, whether it is good or bad, there is always a clear explanation, which can make her a little more content.

When Yuan Wei heard Nanny Wu mention Xingyue, she was slightly stunned and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

In the past two days, she has been busy sorting out the complicated memories left by the original owner, and at the same time thinking about the various plans for the future, so much so that she has completely forgotten about Xingyue.

"Xingyue?"

Yuan Wei murmured to herself, "What's wrong with her? Is she sick?"

Could it be that he was frightened by what happened before?

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei couldn't help but frown, revealing concern.

Nanny Wu cautiously glanced at Yuan Wei and saw that her face was full of genuine confusion. She felt a mixture of laughter and comfort.

It seems that I and others are judging others by my own standards.

Without exception, they were all influenced by Xingyue and led astray by her.

Indeed, in the past, the girl had always been reasonable and had never punished her servants without reason, nor had she ever lost her temper with them without reason.

This time everyone thought that the girl would blame Xingyue, but wasn't it because they were influenced by Xingyue's words and deeds?

"Ever since Xingyue returned from the Princess's residence, she has been in a state of panic and fear, and even now, she still doesn't dare to appear in front of the young lady."

Nanny Wu couldn't help but sigh. No one wanted to see this happen, and it was an indisputable fact that Xingyue's own abilities were limited.

Nanny Wu pondered inwardly and asked again, "Miss, what are your plans regarding Xingyue?"

Both Nanny Wu and Nanny Liu were capable housekeepers serving the original owner. Nanny Wu was mainly responsible for external affairs, while Nanny Liu was in charge of the affairs in the original owner's courtyard.

Originally, it would have been more appropriate for Madam Liu to handle this matter.

It was just that Madam Liu was so busy that she forgot about this matter, and she didn't want to upset the girl because of Xingyue.

Anyway, when the girl remembers it, she will have her own place to go.

Nanny Wu had a good relationship with Xingyue's mother, and she didn't want to see Xingyue torturing herself, so she gritted her teeth and brought it up in front of Yuanwei.

Yuan Wei thought for a moment and instantly understood Xingyue's current situation.

After a moment's hesitation, she said slowly, "Then let her rest for one more day and come back to serve you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Aunt Wu's eyes suddenly flashed with a light, and her tone became more respectful and humble: "Yes, young lady."

Then, Yuan Wei seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Oh, I vaguely remember that Xingyue seems to be engaged?"

When Madam Wu heard Yuan Wei ask about Xingyue's marriage, although she felt a little confused, she still bowed her head respectfully and replied:

"My dear, it is indeed so. Xingyue is engaged to the nephew of Housekeeper Zhou, who is now a minor steward at a farm outside. Their wedding is scheduled for next spring."

Yuan Wei nodded slightly after hearing this and didn't say anything else.

In fact, the original owner was very clear about Xingyue's abilities, and she was indeed not suitable to continue staying around and working.

However, there is no need to rush to send it away at this time.

The original owner had planned to wait until Xingyue got married and then let her leave naturally.

Yuan Wei just needs to let nature take its course.

The accident with Feng Zhining's carriage was somewhat accidental, but it was also due to Yuan Wei's secret planning.

In the original owner's memory of his previous life, he had a clear impression of the Crazy Horse incident!

Even though the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was in chaos at the time, the original owner still heard about it.

This shows how huge the sensation caused by this accident was.

Yuan Wei merely sent someone to lure Qi Yuqing to that street, but Feng Zhining actually stayed there for this reason.
