Chapter 164 - 164 Retribution164 Retribution
Juan Bi frowned and sent someone to the entrance of the manor to check on the situation. She muttered angrily, “I clearly sent someone to pass a message to the Marquis Mansion.”
She said it very softly, but Wei Jiaoniang still heard her.
Wei Jiaoniang frowned and suggested, “Yanfei, come with me.”
This time, they had to use a special carriage on a snowy day. Otherwise, they would easily slip on the road. Wei Jiaoniang was worried about Gu Yanfei taking an ordinary carriage back to the capital.
“No.” Gu Yanfei refused. She looked in the direction of the east wing and said faintly, “My mother’s wet nurse was injured for some reason. I’m a little worried…”
She stopped there.
Although Wei Jiaoniang was carefree, she still understood at a glance that Granny Pang’s injury was most likely related to some shameful private matters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking that this was the Gu family’s manor, Wei Jiaoniang did not force her. She stood up and said, “Yanfei, I’ll leave first then.”
Not long after Wei Jiaoniang left, the snow began to fall again.
Snowflakes fell in large patches with the cold wind, like willow catkins. The red plum trees in the courtyard were not afraid of the wind and snow and bloomed proudly.
After washing up, Gu Yanfei rested her chin on one hand and sat by the window to look at the snow. Her black hair was casually tied up with a ribbon, and she looked relaxed.
“Second Lady, this is the longan and red date soup that has just been brewed in the kitchen.” The servant smiled and brought over a bowl of steaming soup. “There are also honey dates in it. Madam used to like it too.”
As Madam Xie’s companion, the people in the manor were naturally close to Gu Yanfei. After spending nearly two hours together and seeing that the girl had a good personality, this servant also completely relaxed.
Gu Yanfei slowly drank the sugar water. She had only drank half a bowl when the servant, who had just gone out, returned and respectfully reported, “Miss, Granny Pang is awake.”
Juan Bi looked at the pot beside her and smiled brightly. Previously, her lady had said that Granny Pang would wake up at a quarter to eight. She had indeed woken up at this time. Her lady was really amazing!
Gu Yanfei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and stood up.
Juan Bi was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she quickly draped a cloak over her.
The snow was still falling outside. Gu Yanfei went to the east wing from the corridor.
A yellow oil lamp was lit in the east wing. The light was dim, and the servant reminded her cautiously, “Miss, watch your step.”
Granny Pang was sitting on the couch with a large welcome pillow stuffed into her lower back. Her head was still wrapped in several circles of white cloth, making her look haggard and weak.
She had just woken up and was still in a daze as she looked in Gu Yanfei’s direction.
Her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned and stared fixedly at Gu Yanfei, as if she was missing someone through her. She muttered, “Yes, they really look alike…”
There was nostalgia in her turbid, old eyes. There was sadness, grief, and sorrow.
Tears quickly flowed from Granny Pang’s eyes as she asked carefully, “You… you’re the girl Madam gave birth to?”
Her voice was weak and trembling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmActually, she knew without asking. She could tell at a glance that the girl in front of her looked too much like the late Madam.
She subconsciously raised her right hand and wanted to touch Gu Yanfei’s face, but she was afraid that it was too rash, so she quickly lowered her hand.
Gu Yanfei sat down on a chair by the couch and nodded with a smile.
“Miss…” Granny Pang tried to get up and kowtow, but Gu Yanfei pressed her back to the bed.
“Don’t move.” Gu Yanfei’s voice was neither loud or soft, but it was unquestionable.
Granny Pang was still staring at Gu Yanfei with a burning gaze. Her eyes were red as she grabbed the thin blanket tightly and cursed angrily, “How dare Mother Su?!”
“Madam has never treated Mother Su badly… Mother Su actually dared to violate her master as a slave and do such a heartless thing! What a heartless woman!”
When she was angry, the back of her head ached. She frowned and took several deep breaths before she recovered.
After scolding Mother Su, Granny Pang began to blame herself again. Her voice became even hoarser and weaker. “It’s all my fault for being careless!”
“Back then, Yangzhou was in chaos. When Mother Su brought the child back to the capital, Second… Gu Yunrong was only a few months old and looked sallow and thin. At that time, the Marquis Mansion had held two funerals in just a few months. The residence was filled with sorrow. Everyone was overjoyed that she could return to the capital alive. No one suspected anything and even thought that Mother Su had worked hard.”
