Rather be a concubine

Chapter 96
Nanny Cen is not a simple person. After getting the order from the old lady, she has been following Nanny He to monitor the latter's every move.In Mammy He's heart, Nanny Cen was already dead, so she never expected that someone would watch her. After going to Yao Huang's house, she saw the messy appearance in the room, those crooked tables The chairs and the blood stains on the wall indicate that the owner of the courtyard must no longer be in this world.

Mother He is not a stupid person, after seeing this scene, she went straight back to the old lady's Shouwu courtyard without delay.Entering the main hall, Madam He saw the old lady was drinking ginseng tea. On the red sandalwood table was a gold-plated crane and a boshan stove, with green smoke rising from above, and a puff of elegant sandalwood diffused in the main hall.

Nanny He walked forward slowly, lowered her head respectfully, saw the old lady drinking tea, she whispered.

"Old lady, the old slave is back."

At the moment, there are only the old lady and Nanny He in the hall. The two sit and stand, the old lady's face is extremely calm, and there is no sign of happiness or anger.However, Nanny He didn't know why, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and a trace of sweat oozes from her rough palms, which made her feel uneasy.

The old lady didn't respond, she put the teacup back on the table, and then looked at Nanny He indifferently.At this moment, Nanny He's complexion is a little pale, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes are constantly dodging at this moment. This appearance really shouldn't appear on Nanny He, after all, everyone in the whole Bofu knows Nanny He She is the old lady's confidant, and others dare not neglect her.

After a while, the old lady seemed to regain her composure, pursed the corners of her lips, and said lightly.

"Ahe Ke once brought Yao Huang's family to our Shouwu courtyard?"

The old lady's speech was also extremely calm, as if she was no different from usual.At this moment, Mother He's nose was dripping with cold sweat. She took out the veil from her bosom, wiped it hastily twice, then tightly held the veil in her palm, and said in a trembling voice.

"Returning to the old lady, the old slave never brought Yao Huang's family members. Just now, when the old slave went to the small courtyard of her home, he knocked on the door many times, but no one answered. The neighbors at the side heard the sound and told the old slave that the two of them, mother and son, had moved to the countryside a few days ago, so they couldn't find them."

Mother He spat out the words that had been arranged before. If it was normal, the old lady would not doubt it, but now seeing Ah He's guilty conscience, she has been Ah He's master for more than 30 years. If you can't see anything tricky, it's too bad!
"Ahe, what you say now is true?"

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, her tone rose slightly. She had a gentle face, and she could still see the delicacy of her youth. At this moment, this smile that was not a smile made Mammy He swallow her saliva, and then her body trembled uncontrollably , whispered.

"Returning to the old lady, the old slave naturally has no false words. If the old slave deceives the old lady in the slightest, he will die a terrible death!"

Nanny He's heart froze, a trace of cruelty appeared in her eyes, and she swore a poisonous oath.

When the old lady heard this, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and the smile on her face deepened. She snorted softly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said.

"Ahe, I have already given you a chance, but you have never taken it."

After the words fell, the old lady raised her voice and called out.

"Come on!"

Hearing the old lady's voice, the rough women from outside entered the main hall one after another, lowered their heads respectfully, and eight of them stood behind Madam He together.

Seeing this scene, Mammy He panicked even more, she immediately knelt down on the ground, then kept kowtowing at the old lady, and said sharply if her mouth was bitten to death.

"Old lady, what do you mean? The old slave has served you for more than thirty years. Could it be that you are going to kill the old slave now?"

Seeing the tears stained on Nanny He's face, the old lady still felt a little impatient. After all, people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?But the old lady is also decisive, since Madam He doesn't like the comfortable life now, it would be great to move out of the Shouwu Courtyard and go to the woodshed.

"Ahe, I don't want to say too much now. Why did I do this? You have a heart like a mirror, so you don't need to argue anymore. Now, you take Madam He into the firewood room of our mansion, so that you can take care of her." , no one is allowed to visit inside. If something goes wrong, the eight of you don’t have to stay in Bo’s house anymore!”

After speaking, the old lady's words had a bit of ruthlessness, and the stern look, the rough envoy of the Shouwu Courtyard had never seen it a few times, and she immediately thought of it, and she dared not neglect it.

"Slaves, I will take good care of you."

The eight women are all slightly younger than Nanny He, and they are used to rough work. Naturally, their bodies are not lacking in strength. Together, the two of them restrained Nanny He who was constantly struggling.A woman thought that Nanny He's yelling was harsh, and she was afraid of disturbing the old lady, so she rolled up the scarf she got from nowhere, and then stuffed it into Nanny He's mouth, making the usually arrogant old lady Mammy, now I can only whine.

After He Nanny was tied up and taken away, the two maids, Bai Shao and Bi He, were also terrified.Although the two of them have been serving the old lady all the time, they are far from being the old lady's confidantes, so at this moment, I don't know why Madam He angered the old lady, and now they are locked in the woodshed. middle.

Bai Shao kicked and kicked, carefully stood behind the old lady, raised her hand and gently pressed the old lady's forehead, the strength of her hand was very suitable, which made the old lady feel relieved a bit.

The old lady got angry and dealt with Nanny He, and Bo Yuqiao only got the news the next day.She knew in her heart that even if the old lady dealt with Nanny He, she would not feel at ease. After all, being betrayed by the most trusted person around her was naturally much more sad than being murdered by others.

Bo Yuqiao originally wanted to please the old lady, so naturally she would not miss the opportunity to sneak in at this moment.Although this move is somewhat inconspicuous, it is better than useful.As long as the old lady feels that she is the most caring granddaughter, her status in the mansion will be much higher.On the contrary, it is more convenient to inquire about the news.

Bo Yuqiao changed into a jade-colored embroidered skirt with folded branches and piles of flowers. Today, she did not wear a double bun. Instead, she put it on with the white jade inlaid with red coral beads and double-knotted Ruyi hairpin that the old lady rewarded a few days ago. There are emerald earrings hanging between her ears. Dang, with a not-too-excellent twisted silk silver bracelet on her wrist, after tidying up, she took Cuifu, a maid, and headed towards Shouwu Courtyard.

After a while, Bo Yuqiao entered the Shouwu Courtyard. At this moment, the old lady was probably out of temper and did not stay in the main hall, but rested in the master bedroom.The servants of the Shouwu Courtyard naturally knew that Miss Qiao was in favor of the old lady, so naturally they did not dare to stop her, so they immediately went inside to inform her.

"Sister Qiao, come in!"

The old lady's voice was a little hoarse, and after Bo Yuqiao entered, she deliberately showed a bit of worry on her face, and hurriedly said.

"Grandmother, Qiaoer just heard you talking, it seems a little hoarse, are you suffering from a cold?"

Seeing the concern on Bo Yuqiao's face, the old lady felt a lot more at ease. After all, the girl in front of her was pure and filial, and compared to the rest of those wolf-hearted pickles, she was naturally excellent.

"How's Qiao's homework these days?"

When the old lady asked about homework, Bo Yuqiao answered truthfully.

"The articles taught by Mr. Wu recently are not difficult, but they have profound meanings. If you want to understand them, it is naturally not easy. Fortunately, you have already understood five or six points of them. It will take some time to understand the essence of them. .”

When Bo Yuqiao said this, she was naturally a little modest. After all, she was an adult woman at heart, and it was not difficult to learn some simple scriptures and history.What's more, the old lady actually knew about the homework of the young ladies from Wu Yuan, and now she asked about it, but she was very concerned about herself.

"Sister Qiao is pretty good, why bother to be so self-effacing?"

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao seemed ashamed, and there was a blush on her cheeks, which continued to blush.Bo Yuqiao collected her thoughts, then bit her lip and said softly.

"Grandmother, although Qiao Er is not a smart person, she has also heard from her husband that she is healthy and skinny, so she needs to be cherished by her parents. Grandma, you are the backbone of our Bofu, and you were weak a few days ago. , if you have to bother your heart and mind because of Madam He, it will be bad."

Bo Yuqiao's serious appearance now is really the same as that bookworm who recites stereotypes every day, and it is very pleasing to look at.When the old lady heard the appropriate words from Bo Yuqiao's mouth, a smile appeared in her phoenix eyes, and then she patted Bo Yuqiao's tender little hand and said.

"Grandmother's body is naturally well known, but you are so young that you worry about your life. If you are old enough in the future, what should you do?"

Seeing the teasing look in the old lady's eyes, Bo Yuqiao immediately showed a bit of embarrassment in response to the scene, and then struggled lightly even though she refused to obey, deliberately showing the coquettish attitude of a little girl on her face.

"Grandmother, don't make fun of me. It will be your birthday in a few days. Qiaoer has already prepared a big gift. At that time, Auntie will bring Brother Ling back, and we will be reunited as a family!"

The old lady's heart seemed to be empty because of He Nanny's matter now, but now she heard Bo Yuqiao mentioning the birthday, thinking that Bo Rao would rush back with the baby, and then everyone in the family would gather together In Shouwu courtyard, it is really wonderful to be together in one place.

Seeing that the old lady's expression was a little gentler than before, Bo Yuqiao knew that the previous words touched the old lady's heart, and she was a little happy in her heart, but on the face she looked innocent and ignorant, really very delicate.
