Chapter 171 Secret Planning_1
"Madam, you saved my life once! When I first came here, I clumsily broke one of Hong Ye’s vases. He wanted to kill me, but you saved me. You probably don’t remember, but I’ve kept it in my heart ever since."
The nanny looked up at Xu Nanzhi with sincere gratitude in her eyes.
"I remember..."
Xu Nanzhi closed the poetry book, but remained on guard, unwilling to trust the nanny easily.
"While being a maid here pays well, it is also very dangerous; every day feels like treading on thin ice! In their eyes, we maids are dispensable, to be insulted and trampled upon at will. Only you treat us like human beings. I’ve always remembered your kindness to me and have no way to repay it."
The nanny, Xie Wanrong, had come to work soon after Xu Nanzhi had started living with Hong Zhen Ting. Several years had passed in a blink of an eye. Xie Wanrong was typically quiet and hardworking, rarely making mistakes.
"If you feel this job is not suitable, you can change to a different one," Xu Nanzhi said.
"Madam, I know you won’t easily trust me, and that’s fine. I was cleaning in the study earlier and happened to hear Hong Ye and Master Ren planning to kill Mr. Su, without leaving him any chances to escape."
After speaking, Xie Wanrong bowed and left Xu Nanzhi’s room.
With her eyes loosely shut, Xu Nanzhi pondered whether she could trust Xie Wanrong’s words. Could this be a trap set by Hong Zhen Ting?
At this point in the world, apart from Su Chengyu and Liu Yan, there was no one whom Xu Nanzhi fully trusted.
