Chapter 957 - 951 The Right Person in Mind
ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm Madam Lin said, "Copying books is what she fears most. This is already the severest punishment. Otherwise, what do you propose we do, nanny?"
"I say? If you ask me, she also deserves to be beaten with twenty strokes at least."
Madam Lin snorted, "Do you think I’m the only master around here, giving her twenty strokes? She isn’t just any servant who can be beaten casually. It’s just a matter of her leaving the estate. If we beat her for that reason, the old lady would flay me alive. Are you trying to replace me with another Madam Lin?"
...
Ever since Old Madam Lin found out that Gu Youyou had signed up for the selection of the eldest prince’s consort, she was so pleased she couldn’t contain her joy.
She said, "I was always worried that Youyou would never marry off, but now, thank goodness. Right, Xingyi, did she go of her own accord?"
"Mother, of course, she went on her own. Youyou’s temperament is just like my eldest sister’s used to be; no one else can decide for her. If she doesn’t want to go, even if tied up with a rope, she won’t budge."
"Ah, that’s good. As long as she’s willing, that’s fine. Ayuan, Youyou is going to compete to become the prince’s consort, you must fully support her."
Madam Lin was quite worried, yet she still smiled and replied, "Yes, Mother."
With Old Madam Lin’s support, Gu Youyou’s confinement finally came to an end.
The Empress, on the other hand, was very disappointed in Madam Lin. When Nanny Li left, she took Madam Lin’s favor, recounting the events truthfully to the Empress and did not forget to put in a few good words for Madam Lin.
