Chapter 675 Huo Yuan’s Threat(5)_1
"I’m not a doctor. If she is sick, she should seek the imperial physician. What use would it be if I went?" Huo Yuan said coldly.
Nanny Li has known that this would be the outcome, but she still didn’t give up, smiling and saying: "Young Master, the Old Madame mentioned that Aunt Bi’s illness is of the heart and it needs to be treated by the heart. You, Young Master, are Aunt Bi’s medicine. Please, for the sake of your childhood friendship with Aunt Bi, return with this old servant to visit her. Once you’re back, I guarantee that Aunt Bi’s illness will improve..."
Huo Yuan also smiled, his usually gentle face displayed chilling indifference. He coldly looked at Nanny Li, who was eagerly urging him to return, and said coldly: "Just for a concubine, is it necessary for this young master to pay a late-night visit? It troubles you to go back and inform my mother, tell her I’m resting and don’t have time to see her!"
Nanny Li was still unconvinced and about to speak when Huo Yuan said mockingly: "Nanny Li, time and again you lobby for Aunt Bi. What exactly did she give to you that you are so eager to push me?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li’s face turned pale, and she waved her hands, saying, "No, no, Young Master, you misunderstood this old servant. I’m just following Old Madame’s orders to invite you back to the mansion. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please do not read too much into it, Young Master. This old servant will leave now..."
Nanny Li escaped like a scared wolf, still sweating profusely on reaching outside of the Bishui Villa. Her heart was still pounding violently.
It is often said that the young master is incredibly discerning. Today indeed proved it. She had only accepted a gold hairpin from Aunt Bi, yet he saw through her. In the future, she should be more cautious, and not risk her tasks for the rewards of jewelry. As for the task assigned by Aunt Bi, sigh... Let’s just forget it.
Just as she was thinking, a green, red-beaked parrot squawked overhead, leaving a blob of sticky bird droppings on her head.
"Tsk, where did this bird come from? Such bad luck!"
Nanny Li used her handkerchief to wipe off the bird droppings, and scolded fiercely in the direction the parrot had flown off in.
