Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

"Didn't Madam go to my room and find out?" Daiyu widened her eyes and looked back at the maids behind her, wondering who had leaked the news.

"You don't have to look at them! It's your own fault!" Nanny Gu tapped Daiyu's shoulder and motioned her to stand up.

The maids behind her came forward to help, but Lan Rui was the fastest and took the lead to help her up.

Daiyu didn't care about the pain in her hand. She walked to Gu Mama, poured her a cup of tea, and asked flatteringly, "Mama, please give me some advice!"

Nanny Gu took the tea and glanced at Daiyu. She felt that she was really unbearable to watch. "You should learn from the young lady from the Xue family. Even after being exposed by me, she still managed to keep her face calm. She is much calmer than you!"

Daiyu curled her lips in disapproval: "I'm not competing with her. Good nanny, please tell me where the flaw is."

Gu Mama took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Although you let Qingwen and Siqi lie on the bed to pretend to be the two of you, and you have many maids around you, the absence of Qingwen is not noticeable, but Siqi is different. Her master is sick, why is she not there to serve? Such an obvious omission, how can people not be suspicious?"

"That's it?" Daiyu was a little bit unbelievable. She didn't expect that she would go wrong over such a detail.

"That's it!" Nanny Gu looked at Daiyu and then glanced at Lan Rui. "There are some things that I just don't reveal, but that doesn't mean I don't know them."

Lan Rui felt extremely guilty after hearing what Grandma Gu said. The next moment, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.

Gu Mama looked at Lan Rui and said calmly, "Lan Rui, you will serve me from now on. When you are calm, come back to the young lady."

"Miss, don't agree!" Lan Rui hid behind Daiyu and quietly pulled at the corner of her clothes.

But Daiyu could hardly protect herself at the moment. She was afraid that Nanny Gu would tell Lin Ruhai about this, so she dared not protect Lan Rui.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't respond for a long time, Lan Rui could only nod resignedly.

Gu Ma Ma waved her hand to dismiss the other maids, leaving only Daiyu and Lan Rui. She waved to Daiyu and said, "Come in with me!"

Daiyu turned back quietly and motioned Lan Rui to follow, but Lan Rui shook her head firmly.

Gu Mama was a nanny appointed by the emperor to teach Daiyu. Her status was equal to that of a mother, and it was her duty to discipline Daiyu. She had not disciplined her before because Daiyu was the master, and it was a taboo to scold the master in front of the servants.

Lan Rui knew that Daiyu had entered the inner room and was being reprimanded by Nanny Gu. She was not stupid, so she did not go to join in the fun.

But Gu Mama added: "Lan Rui, you come in too."

After the three of them entered the inner room, Nanny Gu asked Daiyu directly, "What did you do today?"

Daiyu was speechless for a moment. After all, this involved Yingchun's secret, and she didn't know whether she could reveal such a thing to Nanny Gu.

She explained hesitantly, "Mammy, today's matter concerns Sister Yingchun. I am accompanying her. I cannot say anything without her permission."

"What did you do when you stayed in bed half a month ago?" Nanny Gu's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. Even Daiyu felt a little overwhelmed, not to mention Lan Rui.

She knelt down with a plop, and with a sad face, she defended Daiyu, "Mammy, please don't blame the young lady. She just went out to relax, but she was so unlucky that she ran into a thief. Please forgive us because we came back safely and did not cause any irreversible consequences!"

Gu Mama glared at Lan Rui and said sternly, "Shut up! Go guard the door and don't let anyone in!"

Lan Rui felt relieved. She quickly stood up, gave Daiyu a look that said "hold on!", and went out.

Facing Nanny Gu's deathly gaze, Daiyu could only watch Lan Rui's slightly happy back as she walked away, silently making a note of her in her heart.

Seeing the door closed, Nanny Gu walked up to Daiyu and asked in a low voice, "Did you cause the incident at Shenyu Pavilion?"

!!! How can you guess so accurately!

Daiyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Even Lan Rui was fooled by me, how did you know that, Madam?"

Gu Ma looked at her calmly and asked, "Is Lan Rui hard to fool?"

Daiyu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Then she heard Gu Ma Ma explaining her confusion: "You have a lot of people under you who have come and gone. I have observed them for a long time. Judging from their faces and accents, they are obviously not from Yangzhou. Their accents are more like those from the Central Plains. From their attitude when they talk about you and their skills, it is not difficult to see from these signs that you are the one who hides the deepest and has the best skills among you."

Daiyu was surprised and impressed after hearing this. She said after a long pause, "Mammy, how come you know everything?"

Grandma Gu smiled and reminded, "It's only because I'm in this yard every day that I can notice these things. What I can discover will definitely be noticed by others. You must be more cautious in the future!"

"I know!" Daiyu agreed with her head down. Soon she remembered the people from the Five Cities Army and Horses Division that she had seen on the street. She asked curiously, "Mammy, you said it's been more than half a month. Why is there still a commotion in the capital?"

Gu Mama looked at the person who had accidentally stirred up the troubled waters of the capital and was still so ignorant, and she couldn't help but feel a little tired. She asked, "What do you want to do by bringing so many people here?"

The secret of buying a person could not be kept secret after all, so Daiyu had to tell Nanny Gu her plan truthfully.

After hearing Daiyu's plan, Gu Mama couldn't help but take a deep breath: "You are forming a clique for personal gain! If anyone finds out, it will be considered treason!"

The winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Daiyu understood this truth, so she didn't care. Her face was full of determination: "Mammy, it will be fine if we are not discovered. There are so many bandits everywhere, who can tell the real from the fake? Even if we are really discovered, with their skills, are you afraid that they can't escape?"

"You trust them so much, aren't you afraid that they will turn against you? How can you be so sure that they will be willing to be inferior to a little woman like you?" Nanny Gu nodded at Daiyu's head in disappointment. She really wanted to open her little head to see how she could come up with such an conceited and head-breaking idea!

Daiyu raised her little face and said proudly: "Of course it's based on strength!"

"Two fists are no match for four hands!" Nanny Gu has seen the guards' daily training. Even if someone has good martial arts skills, he cannot withstand the siege of a group of people.

Daiyu felt Nanny Gu's concern, opened her arms and hugged her, saying, "Mammy, I know you are worried about me. Don't worry, I know it's hard for women in this world. I don't have big ambitions. I just want to live well in this world and protect myself and those around me."

Nanny Gu patted Daiyu's back hard, then rubbed it gently, worried that she might hurt her by hitting her too hard.
