Seeing that she could no longer fool him this time, Daiyu confessed everything honestly with a bitter face.

In addition to her true origins and matters related to 111, there was also the secret that she secretly bought a large number of people. Basically, even the color of her underwear was revealed clearly by Grandma Gu.

"Mammy! There's really nothing else!" Daiyu begged with tears in her eyes.

Gu Mama stopped when she saw that things were going well. She leaned close to Daiyu's ear and asked, "Can I drink the tonic? And what about martial arts? Is it too late for me to learn it now?"

Daiyu was stunned by her words, and she didn't even have time to wipe away the tears on her face: "So you are this kind of nanny!"

Nanny Gu held Daiyu's face in her hands, wiped away the tears on her face with a silk handkerchief, and said solemnly: "In the past, such an opportunity was a luxury in the palace. Now I am lucky enough to follow you, and the opportunity is right in front of me. I would be a fool not to seize it!"

Daiyu opened her mouth slightly, and was unable to react for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Mama's well-maintained face, which was just over 40, showed a hint of disappointment, and she whispered to herself, "Is it really not possible?"

"Of course you can! Even if you can't become a martial arts master in the future, you can at least prolong your life!" Daiyu blurted out, but as soon as she said it, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

The villain in her heart held a handkerchief in his mouth and shed tears silently: the tricks in the city are too complicated, she can't beat them at all!

An imperceptible hint of joy flashed across Grandma Gu's face for a moment, but she quickly returned to her previous serious expression.

She warned cautiously: "This matter must not be leaked. You know, the people above are always particularly concerned about such things. If the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Daiyu felt warm in her heart. She leaned against Gu Mama's chest and said, "Don't worry, Mama. I know what to do. If it doesn't work, I will find a chance to present the inner strength to His Majesty. As long as I can master the boxing skills, it will be fine."

Nanny Gu patted Daiyu's back again and again. Her voice was as soft as a feather. She whispered in Daiyu's ear: "We need to think about it carefully..."

Daiyu responded softly, and fell asleep in Gu Mama's arms. Her breathing gradually became steady, and she made a slight hum.

Nanny Gu maintained this posture until she was sure that Daiyu was asleep, then she gently put her on the bed.

She felt the familiar quilt, rolled over, and buried herself in the bed with the quilt rolled up.

Nanny Gu quietly left the main room and found Nanny Wang waiting outside the door. She glanced at the inner room and asked in a low voice, "Nanny Gu, is the girl asleep?"

"Well! Let's go." Nanny Gu knew that Daiyu didn't like to keep anyone on duty at night, so she only left one team of people to guard the entire yard.

Despite Daiyu's careful precautions, she still had to let Xue Baochai enter her yard.

Yingchun looked at Daiyu with an apologetic look and whispered in her ear, "Xichun has always been thinking about the pear tree in your yard, so she suggested that we come together."

Daiyu smiled but said nothing. She walked under the tree and pinched Xichun's cheek: "Does the mansion still lack your fruits? Why are you thinking about these pear trees? Today we will not interfere and let you pick them all, otherwise I will not agree!"

"Hehe! Sister, just leave it to me!" Xichun snatched the bamboo pole that Qinghe brought, stared at the pears on the tree, thinking about which one to start.

Qinghe looked at Daiyu and saw her shaking her head slightly. She glanced at Xue Baochai and understood what Daiyu meant.

She silently retreated to the door of the main room and winked at the maids who were moving the small couches out.

As soon as Xue Baochai entered the yard, she began to look around.

She had heard from her aunt before that the courtyard was originally planned to be cleaned up for them to live in. However, Daiyu went to Beijing first, and Grandmother Jia also spoke, so her aunt, as a daughter-in-law, did not dare to disobey Grandmother Jia's wishes.

She looked at the four maids standing on both sides of the main room, nodded and smiled, and said, "It would be great if there was a pavilion in Sister Lin's yard, so that we could sit in the pavilion and wait for Sister Xichun."

Tanchun pointed to the small couch in the yard and said, "Sister Daiyu has many rare things here. Take this small couch for example. Others lie on it in the house, but our Daiyu likes to lie here in the sun."

Daiyu gave her a reproachful look and retorted, "If you don't like it here, I won't entertain you."

"Haha! I like it! I like this the most, sister!"

Tanchun really likes staying in Lixiangyuan.

No one here would be prejudiced against her because of her status in the Jia family, and no one would neglect her because she could not afford the reward. It was only after she came to Lixiangyuan that she realized that some of the practices of the Jia family were abnormal.

The sisters each found a small couch to sit on and watched Xichun running around under the pear trees.

Gu Mama also came over and reminded, "Young lady, the wind is a little cold now. Let Xichun play for a while, and let a few maids go and pick the pears!"

"Yes! Mammy will go and remind her later. Only Mammy, a great Buddha, can subdue a monkey like Xichun!"

Hahahaha—the sisters burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Okay!" Xichun heard Daiyu's teasing and the sisters' laughter, threw the pole on the ground, rushed over with the bamboo basket, and said with a pout, "I'm working hard to pick pears for you, but you're laughing at me here!"

She sat down beside Daiyu and kept on begging her: "No! You have to give me a cup of milk tea, or I won't share the pear with you!"

Tanchun and Yingchun smiled at each other, and sat aside watching Daiyu and Xichun quarreling.

As for Xue Baochai, because of Nanny Gu standing by, she still sat upright, maintaining the reserved demeanor of a lady from a noble family, and did not join in.

"Okay, okay!" Daiyu ordered the little girl standing by the inner door, "Go and ask the kitchen to bring two pots of milk tea!"

Xichun looked at Xue Baochai and asked, "Sister Bao, this is your first time to come to Lixiangyuan, right? Sister Daiyu's milk tea is delicious! But you can't drink too much. Sister Daiyu always says that drinking too much will make you fat."

Daiyu stretched out her hand and pinched Xichun's waist, jokingly saying, "Look at the flesh here!"

"Haha!" Xichun was tickled by Daiyu, and she twisted her body with laughter, begging for mercy, "Good sister, I'll just have a drink! I haven't had a drink in a long time, I miss it so much!"

Daiyu pretended to sigh sadly and wiped her eyes with her handkerchief: "Who told you to forget your old sister when you have a new one? It's really like 'I only see the new one laughing, but I don't hear the old one crying'!"

Yingchun pointed at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Daiyu is getting more and more jealous!"

Hahahaha — the sisters burst into laughter again.

Daiyu glimpsed Honglian and Zijuan coming over with trays. She pretended to be angry and snorted, "You all laughed at me! I drank the milk tea myself!"

Seeing this, the sisters begged for mercy again.

Tanchun took the tray and handed Xichun a cup first. The latter could not wait to pick up a teapot, pour the tea into the cup, and drink it all in one breath.
