Chapter 281 Loyal Servant
Once Mrs. Lu left, Song Ci cast a faint glance at Nanny Gong.
"You see, does she really need me to make a decision for her? Her adulterous husband betrayed her, yet she can still muster the will to plan for his reassignment. It’s just the two of us old bones here overthinking things."
Nanny Gong: "..."
Mrs. Lu returned to Plum Garden with a blank expression and sat down. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed and aggrieved she felt, and she lay on the kang table sobbing.
Nanny Zhou lifted the curtain to come in and sighed when she saw this.
After crying for a moment, Mrs. Lu wiped her eyes and said coldly, "Nanny, later have Mu Tou make a trip to Shanxi, and tell him to be sharp and find out every detail about the situation in Datong Prefecture for me."
Nanny Zhou said, "It’s not that I don’t want my boy to make this trip, but Madam, Mu Tou is a familiar face. Many people in Datong City know him, and to avoid anyone hiding the truth, should we perhaps send someone unfamiliar?"
"I can’t trust anyone else. Have him disguise himself. Once he enters the city, find someone new to inquire for him, and discreetly investigate himself. By combining the two, he can discern whether the information is true or false." Mrs. Lu replied coldly.
Nanny Zhou, seeing her expression, agreed.
"Did you mention it to the Old Madam?" Nanny Zhou asked tentatively, seeing her displeasure.
Mrs. Lu shook her head, "Even Young Master Qing hasn’t explained the matter, and I can’t see anyone. How do I know if this is valid? If it’s not certain, wouldn’t mentioning it be making a fool of ourselves?"
