Chapter 1216 - 1222: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off (3)
Nanny Xie was unwilling to let Xiang Yun talk to the man. She stood in front of Xiang Yun and said impatiently, "Take the ginseng and leave quickly. Remember, once you’re outside, do not mention anything about today. We don’t want any troublemakers spreading rumors and tarnishing our Madam’s reputation!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the humble one will definitely obey, the humble one takes his leave..." The man, with tears of gratitude, took the two good pieces of ginseng and left!
Nanny Xie then nodded politely to Situ Changge and, without further explanation, pulled Xiang Yun back behind the screen.
"Dear lady, please no more rash actions; spare this old servant some worry," Nanny Xie nagged with a troubled expression.
"Uh, understood..."
After this incident, Xiang Yun too lost interest in spying on their business dealings; she listlessly fiddled with her bracelet, murmuring, "Why hasn’t Cai Wei come yet?"
At this moment, Cai Wei was also anxious, but she couldn’t leave—because shortly after Nangong Yi had gone, her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Mo, had arrived!
Although Cai Wei did not welcome her and even felt repulsion at the sight of her, she was, after all, Nangong Yi’s birth mother and her mother-in-law. Therefore, as much as she disliked her, she could not turn her away; she had to at least maintain appearances on the surface.
After Empress Dowager Mo arrived, Cai Wei invited her into the royal study’s west side of the main hall, a bright room where Nangong Yi occasionally met with his ministers.
