Chapter 1220 - 1226: Situ Changge (1)
"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
Xiang Yun’s stomach protested loudly; she hadn’t eaten dinner last night after arguing with Mo Zili and, angry as she was, had skipped meals last night and this morning as well. She had planned to meet Cai Wei and then feast at a restaurant outside, but no matter how long she waited, the Empress Dowager just didn’t show up.
She supported her cheek with one hand and randomly tapped on the table with the other, extremely frustrated!
Nanny Xie heard the gurgling from Xiang Yun’s stomach and said with pity, "Young Madam, are you hungry? Should I, the old servant, go out and buy you something to tide you over? It’s been two meals already; even an iron body couldn’t bear it!"
Xiang Yun touched her stomach and nodded, "That sounds good; go ahead, buy a lot..."
"Alright—"
Nanny Xie agreed and hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, walking briskly outside.
Normally, running errands like buying groceries could be delegated to servants, sparing her, the dignified nanny, the task. However, Nanny Xie was worried lest the servants didn’t buy clean food and caused Young Madam’s stomach trouble which would make her, the nanny, also distressed.
Upon reaching outside, a horse carriage was parked there; Cai Wei was helping a yellow, skinny young man off the carriage.
"Oh, Empre—"
Seeing Cai Wei, Nanny Xie was about to kneel and pay her respects when she caught Cai Wei signaling with her eyes. Nanny Xie quickly restrained herself and just offered a deep bow.
