In desperation, Wang tried to get information many times but was ignored, so he had to lead the way to the destination himself.
After seeing Shen Muxue, Nanny Zhou's attitude immediately became much gentler. "I am Nanny Zhou, your old servant, specially sent by the Queen Mother to teach you etiquette."
Looking at the old palace eunuch's flattering smile, Wang felt extremely uncomfortable.
As one of the owners here, I was treated like this.
Before she could say anything, she heard Shen Muxue slowly say, "Madam, you are too modest. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea. I will trouble you to guide me in the future."
Then he turned to me and said, "Please take good care of Li Ma's needs and make sure she is comfortable and happy."
After accepting the tea, Nanny Zhou said gratefully, "Thanks for your concern, Miss. I will do my best to help you improve yourself."
Witnessing all this, Wang trembled all over.
As one of the actual leaders of the family, being ignored and treated like a subordinate is a huge insult.
It was especially shocking to see that Nanny Zhou only thanked Shen Muxue, as if she was completely unaware of the existence of others.
After adjusting her breathing, Wang revealed an elegant smile: "Madam Zhou's presence has made our Shen Mansion shine brightly. If there are any omissions in the reception, please let me know, and I will ask Mu Xue to make improvements."
Wang kept staring at Madam Zhou as she spoke, expecting a thank you, but she received nothing, and the handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly.
Shen Muxue spoke calmly, "Thank you for your concern, mother."
After saying that, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Only then did Wang realize that she had been there for a long time but no one had offered her tea.
In anger, she threw her sleeves and left.
This time, Shen Muxue must be relegated to the position of concubine. This young lady must not be allowed to act so arrogantly again!
After chatting with Nanny Zhou for a while, the room was arranged.
Shen Muxue breathed a sigh of relief only after she had personally arranged everything.
Since the Empress Dowager sent a nanny to teach court etiquette, it was obviously a hint that she would soon enter the palace to be tested.
But she didn't know how many days it would take to learn these rules.
Before that, there are still some things waiting for her to resolve.
"Mammy, do you know who was ordered by Madam to poison me?"
There was a chill in Shen Muxue's eyes.
Nanny Yang thought about it carefully, but still had no clue. "Something happened at home recently and she hasn't been able to stay at the mansion. The people closest to the young lady are none other than the sisters Siyun and Ruizhu. Why not ask them?"
Hearing this, Shen Muxue sneered contemptuously: "What if it's one of them?"
A slap landed hard on her thigh, and Nanny Yang was filled with annoyance. "Alas, these past two days have been a bit chaotic and I haven't used my brain. If it wasn't someone close to me, how could they have attacked you so easily? Excluding the others..."
In the previous life, Siyun had always been the one by his side, but as for Ruizhu, he only found out about it after hearing about her marriage to the son of Liu Ma, who was by his wife's side.
It's unclear when this person started colluding with Aunt Liu. If he still wants to step on me to get promoted like before, it's simply a pipe dream!
"So if you can find the real culprit behind this, what do you plan to do with him?"
Nanny Yang asked in a low voice.
"Her actions have already betrayed my trust. Simply selling her off would be too merciful..."
It was precisely because of her fate of being secretly sent away as a concubine in the previous life that Ruizhu's secret instigation was indispensable. Therefore, it would have been difficult to succeed without her assistance.
To accomplish such a terrible thing and then just resell it to others so that you can continue to enjoy your life is simply not enough to match the help provided by the system.
Meanwhile, in another room, Shen Yuwei, upon hearing the news, immediately went to her mother and cried, "Why did that nanny have to live in my sister's room? Am I not her biological daughter?"
As she spoke, she leaned towards her mother like a spoiled child.
Although Wang loved her daughter, she still said helplessly, "I also want her to come to your place to take care of you. But this is an order, and a special instructor has been appointed to teach your elder sister."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuwei stood up suddenly and almost knocked her mother down, her face full of disbelief: "Why is it her turn? Is this really for the purpose of getting married?"
After straightening her messy hair, Wang analyzed with concern, "Historically, beauties sent to the imperial palace were simply presented to His Majesty. This time, a special person has been assigned to guide the training process, which means it's likely a formal marriage ceremony."
"Get married? Then you don't need to be a concubine anymore? And before, Imperial Concubine Xie also expressed her interest in my elder sister and urged us to hand her over to them immediately. If we don't do so, won't we be offending Imperial Concubine Xie?"
Wang was very worried about this matter.
Concubine Xie was the only one in the harem who was favored by the emperor, and her influence extended to the previous dynasty.
If you offend her, your official position and family will be in danger.
It was because she saw how powerful Concubine Xie was that she carefully arranged for Concubine Xie's nephew Xie Jing to meet Shen Muxue, and took the opportunity to propose sending her to the Xie Mansion as a concubine.
When General Shen returned, she planned to pretend to cry and explain to him: in order to avoid conflict with Concubine Xie, she had no choice but to send her daughter to be a concubine.
This will help resolve the current predicament satisfactorily.
But now the situation has become more complicated - the Queen Mother actually sent someone to pick up Shen Muxue.
How to choose?
Handing her over to the Xie family would anger the Queen Mother.
Otherwise, it would cause dissatisfaction from Concubine Xie.
"Mother, I don't want to bother with the Queen Mother's affairs. I want to study with Madam."
Hearing this, Shen Yuwei, who had been leaning against Wang, said in a delicate voice.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Wang was confused by this question and had no choice but to agree.
The next morning, according to the arranged plan, Shen Muxue began to practice court etiquette with the nanny.
Girls from prominent families receive strict education since childhood. Shen Muxue performed particularly well in this regard and quickly mastered the essence of it.
"Your performance in standing, walking, sitting, lying down, etc. is very good. Next, let's learn the art of tea."
Nanny Zhou praised.
After receiving the praise, Shen Muxue felt particularly happy.
Because this not only means receiving high praise from the teacher, but also indirectly gaining the appreciation of the Queen Mother.
If she enters the palace in the future, with the support of this elder, she may have enough power to check the expansion of Concubine Xie's power.
At this time, Siyun entered the room carrying a set of exquisite tea sets and whispered to her, "Miss, your mother and sister are here."
"Meet Mammy."
As a series of soft and melodious voices came, a cold feeling suddenly spread throughout Shen Muxue's body.
