Chapter 515 - 193 Threat_2
In the past two years, Nanny Gu had returned to the Lian Mansion seeking Yueyao more than once, but to no avail—Yueyao refused to see her. Nanny Gu deeply regretted her actions; she should not have abandoned her charge. Otherwise, she would still be living well and wouldn’t have to worry about funding her son’s education.
Lady Mo did not bother with pleasantries and directly asked Nanny Gu, "When the Second Old Master passed away, did he leave a key for the Third Young Lady?" If she got a definite answer, she would know how to proceed.
Nanny Gu shook her head and said, "When the Second Old Master passed away, he left a box for the young lady. I only assume that the box contained many silver notes, but as for what else was inside the box, I am not sure." Nanny Gu hadn’t seen the contents inside the box, so naturally she wasn’t certain whether a key was included.
Lady Mo stared at Nanny Gu and said, "You really don’t know."
Nanny Gu’s complexion darkened, "Madam, I truly do not know. If I knew, would I not tell you?"
After thinking it over, Lady Mo said, "The Third Young Lady has changed so much; haven’t you noticed anything odd about her?" Lady Mo always found Yueyao’s behavior very strange. Yueyao now seemed like a completely different person compared to when she had first returned. Just attributing it to a nightmare seemed inadequate—even if Madam Ma had appeared in Yueyao’s dreams and spoken ill of her, it was still unlikely to alter someone’s temperament completely.
Nanny Gu had long felt that something was off about Yueyao, but these were only her feelings without any concrete evidence, so she now dared not say much.
Lady Mo, losing patience, said, "Nanny Hua, direct the accounting room to give ten taels of silver to Nanny Gu!" This was a clear sign that she was being dismissed.
Nanny Gu did not want to leave just yet and pleaded with Lady Mo, "Madam, please let me see the Third Young Lady one more time! After all, I nursed her. Day and night, I have been longing to see her. Madam, I beg you."
