Chapter 452 Who is in control? (2)
When Cui'er hugged her so suddenly, Aunt Zhang's body stiffened involuntarily, and then her eyes quickly turned red.
Ever since she stepped into the gate of the Shenxingsi, she was no longer the Nanny Zhang who was in charge of the eldest prince's personal affairs, but an old woman who came to serve.
Those who used to be very respectful to her, all started to look down on her. Not to mention respecting her, they were just thankful if they didn't bully her on a daily basis.
Only Cui Er, the little girl, received a lot of care from her old woman during this period. When she was sick, she not only took the initiative to help her with work, but also shared the food she had managed to snatch with her.
If it weren't for this little girl, she might have become fertilizer for some tree long ago.
"Madam Zhang, Cui'er is leaving. You must take good care of yourself from now on." The little maid wiped her tears and spoke in a muffled voice in her ear.
Leave? This time, Aunt Zhang heard it clearly. After entering the Shenxingsi, could she still walk out?
And Cui'er's call of "Madam Zhang" made the nanny beside the third elder who came with her have her eyes flickering, and she secretly became cautious.
"Cui'er, where are you going?" Using a little force to pull the girl out of her arms, Aunt Zhang looked at the little face that was red from crying and asked anxiously.
"Well, the three elders have just promised Cui'er that they will take me back to the tribe."
Cui Er didn't notice her unusual look and behavior, and continued excitedly, "I will be able to see my father soon. Mammy, you are happy for me, right? I wonder how his family is doing now?"
Two lines of tears fell from the little girl's face onto the back of Aunt Zhang's hand, burning her whole body. When she came to her senses, she realized that what the little girl said was true.
As the two of them walked into the house, Nanny Zhang watched them frantically packing their belongings, her eyes flashing with a gleam.
Finally, as if she had finally made some kind of decision, her originally wandering eyes became firm, and her original momentum instantly returned to her.
The nanny who had been secretly watching the situation keenly sensed the changes that had taken place in Nanny Zhang, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. It seemed that things had room for maneuver and a turning point was about to come.
May God bless the tribe, the nanny prayed silently in her heart again.
Cui'er didn't have much luggage to begin with, and the two of them were quick and nimble, so they finished packing it in no time.
When Cui'er picked up the cloth bag and was about to get up and go out, Nanny Zhang stopped her.
"Excuse me, who is this manager?" He looked at the nanny but asked Cui'er.
"This is the nanny beside the Third Elder. The Third Elder asked her to accompany me to pack up." Cui'er introduced crisply when she heard the question.
The nanny then smiled and introduced herself: "My last name is Li. Since I am a few years older than Nanny Zhang, you can just call me Sister Li."
Nanny Zhang was a little flattered when she heard that. Even in her current situation, she was still allowed to address her as a sister. She couldn't help but look at Nanny Li a few more times.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command. Could you please move outside the room first, Sister Li? I have a few words for Cui Ya alone."
"That's natural. You guys can chat slowly."
Nanny Li walked out of the door, considerately closed the door for them, and took a few steps away to ensure that she could see the scene inside the room through the window lattice but could not hear clearly what they were saying.
His proper style of doing things immediately won the favor of Aunt Zhang again.
The quality of the servants can tell the character of the master. The image of the three tribe leaders in my mind has become more concrete.
"Girl Cui, when Nanny asks you a question, you must answer truthfully." Nanny Zhang held Cui'er's hands, looked into her eyes and asked in a low voice.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's serious expression, Cui'er couldn't help but put away her excitement and became serious.
"Mammy, ask."
"Well, why did they agree to take you out of the Shenxingsi? What did you tell them? Tell Mammy everything from beginning to end."
Cui'er's whispers were soon heard in the room.
After half a cup of tea, Cui Er finally finished her words, and the room fell into silence. Nanny Li, who was standing in the courtyard, did not urge her, and did not even change her posture.
Just like a green pine tree, it stands guard there neither arrogantly nor humbly.
"Mammy, Cui'er doesn't want to die here of old age, or be abused and die here one day."
Thinking of the increasing number of eyes lingering on her recently, Cui'er was so scared that she couldn't help but tremble and her face turned pale.
There was a hint of tears in her next words: "I miss my dad. Mom died early and I am his only child. I don't want him to be old or sick without anyone to take care of him."
"The eldest prince doesn't care about our lives anymore. I have to think for myself. I don't want to die here! Mammy, Cui'er is scared... scared."
Nanny Zhang looked at Cui'er who was crying out of breath. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, which was the prime of her life.
In this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, there are too many people eyeing this piece of juicy and fat meat.
If she hadn't risked her life to protect Yi Er, she would have eaten all the men here and tortured them beyond recognition. No wonder the little girl was so scared and wanted to seize this opportunity at all costs.
Cui'er has a father whom she misses, but she also has someone she wants to see. He is the only child in her life, the apple of her eye.
"Mammy, you should go with Cui'er. Don't stay here any longer. Let's go together to find my brother. If, if... Cui'er will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
"Cui'er, you..." Aunt Zhang was shocked and moved. When did this little girl have this idea?
"Although Cui'er was very young when she entered the mansion, she knew who was really kind to me. Thanks to Madam's care over the years, I am still alive today."
The strong prey on the weak, bullying the weak and fearing the strong; these are the same rules of survival everywhere.
Although Aunt Zhang looked stern, she had a kind heart. Cui Er had been well taken care of by her over the years.
Especially after entering the Shenxingsi, Nanny Zhang had to risk her life several times to stop those men who spied on her. For this reason, those men have been secretly trying to trip them up recently.
If they don't leave now, who knows, they might really die here one day.
What Cui Er could think of, how could Aunt Zhang not think of it? But what could she use to exchange her freedom with the elders?
Looking at the hesitant Aunt Zhang, Cui Er couldn't help but add another sentence: "They are now investigating whether a bottle of medicine powder is missing from the Prince's mansion."
Over the years, the two have helped each other. Cui'er really wanted to take Nanny Zhang away with her, so she told the third elder so much about Nanny when they were in the main hall.
"Powder? What powder?"
"It is said that it is a bottle of hallucinogenic powder that makes people crazy. It was recently discovered that it was lost. I am afraid that it will be taken by someone with bad intentions and will harm the tribe in turn. That is why I came to the Shenxing Division in such a hurry."
"I wonder if Madam knows about this?"
So that's how it is. After hearing this, Aunt Zhang finally solved the mystery that had been in her mind all day.
She has been wondering why these people in power in the tribe came to Shenxingsi in such a high-profile manner today, spending so much money and giving rewards and promises. Why is that?
Now it seems that if they were looking for that bottle of powder, then everything they did today would make sense.
And she actually knew something about the whereabouts of that bottle of powder...
If it is really as Cui Yatou wishes, she can step out of the gate of Shenxingsi together. Not only can she fulfill their wishes, but she can also make some contributions to the tribe. I believe they will not treat her badly after she goes out.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang's troubled heart finally felt settled, and the expression on her face relaxed, and she even revealed a faint smile.
While taking the cloth bag from Cui'er's other hand, she said, "Come on, Mammy will go with you to meet the three elders."
Facing Cui'er's surprised look, Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Do you remember the promise you made to me just now? Accompany me to find your brother and take care of me until the end of my life!"
"Yes, Cui'er will always keep it in mind. Thank you, Madam, for being able to accompany Cui'er."
At this point, Cui'er's heart, which was full of fear and anxiety about the future, finally settled down.
