Chapter 388 - 136: Female Guard_2
Yueyao grabbed a pillow and leaned it against the headboard, "Mom, don’t worry, I just have a minor injury, I’m fine." Actually, she was capable of getting out of bed, but she just didn’t want to yet.
Nanny Deng wiped away her tears and said, "Miss, how did such an accident happen?"
Although Yueyao felt that it might indeed be an accident, she wouldn’t say so, "Hmm, but it’s fine now, mom, don’t worry." Suggesting it was a conspiracy would only make Nanny Deng worry more, and it wouldn’t be useful otherwise.
Nanny Deng stayed and talked with Yueyao for a while, and then Yueyao went to sleep. It was only after Yueyao had fallen asleep that Nanny Deng left and spoke with Nanny Hao for a long while.
After waking up from her sleep, Yueyao inquired about Hua Lei and Qiao Lan’s conditions. She learned that Hua Lei’s condition had improved after taking medicine, but Qiao Lan had not yet woken up.
After leaving for a while and coming back, Nanny Hao told Yueyao that the coachman said the incident was purely an accident, "Miss, it’s impossible to get any testimony from the coachman now."
Yueyao was somber but not surprised by the outcome, and she said to Nanny Hao, "Mom, there is something I need you to do."
Nanny Hao felt a bad premonition, "Miss, what do you want to do?" From this incident, she saw how tough Third Young Lady was. Normally, the young misses from the inner chamber would be completely frightened by such an event, but Third Young Lady only sustained minor injuries, while both maids were severely injured or comatose. This wasn’t luck, but a person’s quick decision-making. If before she thought Yueyao could match Lady family in wit, now she was sure from this incident that Lady family was no match for her own Miss.
Yueyao looked at Nanny Hao, "Mom, do you really think this incident was an accident?"
Nanny Hao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Miss, do you suspect the carriage was tampered with? But indeed, the carriage slipped, and the horse went mad. I had people check it, and it all points to an accident." If it really was done by the Eldest Madam, then they all would be in danger.
