Chapter 230 - 229: Can’t Understand the Young Lady
Nanny Shen changed Mrs. Wang’s tea and glanced at the cloth bag on the small table, saying, "Lady, the young lady’s kindness is truly too significant."
The Wang family had just sent over some items, not exceeding three thousand taels in total, including cash and goods, but Qin Liuxi’s return gifts, especially the Angong Pills, were something money couldn’t easily buy.
"Yes, truly significant." Mrs. Wang wiped the corner of her eye and said, "I don’t even know how to repay her."
Nanny Shen looked around and saw that the house had fewer servants now; all the servants were busy with miscellaneous tasks, and it was the same with the maids, regardless of whose maid they were, all were heavily commanded.
With fewer people, there wasn’t much disorder, and it wasn’t easy for words to be overheard, but Nanny Shen still cautiously looked outside to see if anyone was around before she spoke.
"You are being too sensitive about this. As they say, ’one’s honor is everyone’s honor; one’s loss is everyone’s loss.’ Let’s not talk about our extended family; just our main branch, and you folks are even more so a unity, ought to be like a rope twisted together in cooperation, why mention owing anything?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "That’s logically true, but think about it, do we deserve such treatment? If you were her, could you do the same?"
Nanny Shen was left speechless by the question.
"We can’t do it, even I can only offer courtesy on the surface, but cannot manage to give such generous gifts." Mrs. Wang touched the cloth bag and sighed lightly, "I have come to understand, with her, you do her a little good, and she returns much more."
