The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Now that Shi Mingzhu had woken up, the ladies went back to the courtyard to rest, while the gentlemen went to work as needed, and those who needed to study and practice martial arts did so.

The bustling Lanpei Courtyard fell into deep silence in less than an hour.

When Shi Mingzhu was unconscious, she would feel upset when she heard people talking outside. Now that she is awake, there is no sound of anyone outside, which makes her even more upset.

When the wife of the Duke came in, Shi Mingzhu looked behind her and saw only her mother, without seeing the lady dowager and others, and she felt even more aggrieved.

The lady abandoned her again and favored Shi Yao.

The Duke's wife suppressed her anger and comforted her daughter softly, "The old lady and the others have been watching over you for several days. You have become thinner and thinner. Now they have all gone back to rest."

What this means is that they did not stay in Guanju Courtyard to protect Shi Yao.

Shi Mingzhu calmed down a little, propped herself up, and asked tearfully, "Mother, where is Nanny Xin? Please save her. She has been with me for more than ten years and has never made a mistake. This time, it was because I was too seriously ill and desperate to seek medical treatment that I listened to the Taoist's deception and made a doll to stab the villain..."

The Duke's wife sighed, looked at her daughter with pity, put a coat on her, paused, and then said, "Xin Niang is gone."

"What? How could it happen so quickly?" Shi Mingzhu was shocked, angry, and sad. She grabbed her mother's hand and said in a distorted voice, "How could she die? Did she think I didn't save her? That's why... I wanted to save her, but there were so many people around, so it was not easy for me to plead with my grandparents in public."

In order to avoid getting a bad reputation of disregarding sisterly affection, her grandfather and father would become furious and want to kill Nanny Xin.

She had intended to plead privately.

"It was your grandfather and father who made the unanimous decision. They dragged the person out and beat him to death on the spot. Zhuzhu, let's forget about Nanny Xin. She broke a taboo, so what else can we do if we don't kill her? If the rumors of witchcraft and witchcraft spread, the whole family will suffer. Don't mention that Taoist priest anymore, just pretend he didn't exist."

The Duke's wife looked uncomfortable. She would have to have the Taoist priest taken out of the capital. If he refused to leave, don't blame her for being cruel.

Shi Mingzhu fell back suddenly, two lines of tears slid down the corners of her eyes and flowed into her hair.

"Mother, Nanny Xin was wrong, but she was my wet nurse, she was my wet nurse! I grew up drinking her milk, grandfather and father should at least give her some consideration and spare her life! Even if they send her away, send her far away, and tell others that she is dead, it is better than beating her to death."

For her, her father was busy outside all day long and she could only see him once a day at most. They could have three or five meals together at most in a month. Although he loved her very much, he could not be with her all the time. In the past few years, her father was stationed at the border and the father and daughter had not seen each other for several years.

Her mother was busy managing the huge Duke's Mansion, and she also had three older brothers to worry about. Although she was the most favored, she was only the most favored. The three brothers had to share some of the care, not to mention that after her eldest and second brothers got married, they each had a nephew, so the care she received was even less.

She grew up in Nanny Xin's arms since she was a child.

Nanny Xin treated her wholeheartedly and only had her in her eyes and heart. She never mentioned her biological son.

In her previous life, Nanny Xin often cursed Shi Yao in private, and would stab people when she was angry, but it was okay then. In this life, she was half asleep and half awake and knew what Nanny Xin was doing, but she didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, she fell and Nanny Xin lost her life!

Why is this happening?

She was reborn, and apart from a few things that didn't match up, nothing much changed in this life. Why was her situation worse?

Shi Yao didn't look like she was reborn. Her personality was completely different from the last time she saw her in her previous life, and her eyes looked unfamiliar.

Then why did Nanny Xin die?

Shi Mingzhu had to think deeply, whether the great opportunity of rebirth that fell upon her would require her to take away the people she cared about most and the things she cherished most to compensate and balance it?

Seeing her crying like a tearful person, the Duke's wife couldn't help but feel jealous, and she advised gently, "Although it's a pity, she is a servant after all. She raised you with her milk, and you have lived a rich and prosperous life for so many years. For your sake, no one in the mansion treats her badly, and everyone respects her a little. This life is worth it.

You can only blame her for being unlucky and careless, hiding such a filthy evil thing under your bed, and letting Shi Yao find it."

Shi Mingzhu closed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists.

Shi Yao!

Shi Yao!

It’s all Shi Yao’s fault!

Shi Yao, please return my Nanny Xin's life to me!

The Duke's wife stroked her daughter's forehead and continued to analyze the matter with her carefully, teaching her the ways of the world.

"If the puppet thing gets out, it will be a disaster! There are so many servants and maids who saw it, you can't kill them all, right? Most of them are your people, there are also maids and servants from each room, and there are also people serving tea outside, dozens of people in total.

The only way is to use thunderbolts and beat the culprit Xin Niang to death, so as to quickly deter the people in the mansion and shut their mouths, so that they can't talk nonsense, let alone let the rumors implicate you. Your grandfather and father have good intentions, you are not allowed to complain or cry out for injustice, you can't chill their hearts for a dead person."

Shi Mingzhu nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shi Yao killed Nanny Xin, she will not let Shi Yao go.

After coaxing Shi Mingzhu to sleep, the Duke's wife sat for a while and then hurried out to send someone to drive the Taoist priest out of the capital.

She sighed and said to her confidant, Nanny Jin: "Although Xinniang is loyal, she has a vicious mouth. I always dislike her for her foul language. She always talks about whore and slut, and I am afraid that she will lead Zhuzhu astray. But Zhuzhu protected her and didn't wait for me to teach Xinniang a lesson. She made a fuss and wanted to take her away."

This old thing, just die.

How despicable it is to snatch her daughter away from her!

It's a pity for such a loyal dog.

Nanny Jin guessed Madam's thoughts and said with a smile, "Xin Niang didn't know how to speak virtuously. She has committed a sin of her own. It's a worthy death. Fortunately, the young lady took after Madam and was noble in nature. She didn't let her teach her bad habits."

The Duchess's wife was satisfied with what she heard, and the matter of Nanny Xin was left alone.

However, she kept a note of Shi Yao in her heart.

If you beat the snake, you will not die, but you will be harmed by it.

Shi Yao used to only have the old lady's pity, but today it seems that the old lady actually has some genuine affection for her.

There can't be two tigers in one mountain. There should be only one girl, her daughter, in this Duke's Mansion.

What second girl? She shouldn't have come into the world.

If Shi Yao had not been 70% similar to the Third Master Shi Jian'an and 50% similar to the Lady Dowager, she could have made people "check" whether Shi Yao was the Third Master's biological daughter and completely erase the so-called "Second Girl".

Shi Mingwu and his wife Fu Nanjun had a quarrel, which was inappropriate and no one took it seriously. It was just their own hobby.

Servants came and went carrying luggage. Shi Mingwu was dressed in brocade clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and a red cloak. He looked elegant and handsome.

He stepped into the inner room, looked at the unreasonable little woman in front of him, and said calmly: "Nan Jun, stop it. Stop it."
