The last few words that Nanny Wu uttered sounded extremely heavy.

She clasped her hands tightly, and after she finished speaking, she avoided those clear eyes and lowered her head, as if she was afraid to face the coming storm.

She was nervous, unable to guess Qin Suling's reaction after she knew the truth. She was afraid that this heavy burden would be too much for her to bear.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to accept such a reality.

Suddenly, Nanny Wu's heart tightened and worry surged like a tide.

She had no time to care about anything else, fearing that the young girl would despair and do something impulsive, so she quickly held her hands tightly and anxiously comforted her: "Don't worry, the lady is getting better now, and they will definitely treat you well in the future."

"And the old lady, she prays to God for blessings day and night for you!"

She spoke rapidly, and her words revealed deep worry, fearing that the slightest mistake would touch the girl's sensitive heartstrings.

When Qin Suling heard it at first, she felt nothing. But now, she felt Nanny Wu's nervousness and concern, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'm fine."

Qin Suling's words were gentle but firm, which stunned Nanny Wu for a moment. She looked at her half-believingly and half-doubtingly, and only felt relieved when she saw her calm expression.

However, this extraordinary calmness surprised her even more.

She had never expected that the girl could take it so calmly, as if she had already expected all this.

"You...did you already know about this?"

Although Nanny Wu found it unbelievable, she still couldn't help but ask about the doubts in her heart.

Could it be that the lady had already seen through this?

But when I thought back to the letter I sent home, I felt that something was fishy.

She looked puzzled and her heart was full of confusion.

Qin Suling naturally knew it, but that was just a memory from her previous life.

Recalling the love and consideration of Nanny Wu, she couldn't help but draw a sharp contrast between her and the person Qin Suyu had placed by her side in her previous life.

What did that person say at that time? Qin Suling's memory gradually became clear.

The man's words were full of praise and admiration for Qin Suyu, portraying her as the savior of the Qin family. If he showed any disrespect to her, he would be ungrateful.

Those words made her feel wronged and angry, but she had no way to refute them. She could only suppress her depression and anxiety in her heart, so she fell ill for several days.

After returning home, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he had to put on a smile and did not dare to say anything to Qin Suyu.

"Although I don't know the details, I have already sensed something in my heart." Qin Suling said softly to Nanny Wu.

"Miss..." Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu's face turned pale. She had never expected that the girl was so perceptive and could see through the mystery just by calling her a name.

Her voice trembled. “Why didn’t you ask?”

A gentle smile appeared on Qin Suling's lips. That smile was like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, swaying gently, brushing away the dust and worries around her.

Her eyes drooped slightly and her eyelashes trembled, as if she was whispering to some corner deep in her heart. Then, her gentle gaze slowly turned to the window, towards the familiar yet distant scenery.

Outside the window, tall buildings stand in rows, like towering ancient trees in a dense forest, closely connected to each other, yet independent of each other.

In mid-air, ribbons and flags danced lightly in the wind, interweaving into a flowing picture scroll, colorful and dazzling, adding a rare touch of tenderness to this jungle of steel and concrete.

Looking further away, there is the boundless blue sky, which spreads out in an almost arrogant manner. A few white clouds are leisurely and contentedly wandering slowly in the sky, like poets strolling in the garden, wantonly displaying their freedom and unruliness.

Qin Suling's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past. During the days in the Qin Mansion, her favorite thing to do was to find an empty corner and quietly look up at the vast sky.

Whether it is the white clouds against the blue sky during the day, or the stars moving like the sea when night falls, they can easily touch the softest part of her heart, make her intoxicated, and make her forget the troubles of the world.

At that time, she always felt that although she and her loved ones were thousands of miles apart, they shared the same sky, as if their thoughts and concerns could follow this invisible bond, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and warm her heart.

However, as time went by and the world changed, hatred, resentment and unwillingness hung like a dark cloud over her heart, making her almost forget the last time she gazed at the sky so peacefully.

At this moment, when she looked up at the sky again, although there were some waves in her heart, she also felt a little more relieved and indifferent.

"Are you asking about that person's condition, or the Marquis's plan for me?"

She pondered in her heart, a self-deprecating smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

She knew very well that these issues were no longer important to her at this moment.

The plans of the Marquis' Mansion and the comments of others were nothing but passing clouds and could not shake her inner determination and composure.

"girl……"

Nanny Wu's voice was a little hoarse and worried, and her eyes were red, as if she would cry at any time.

Qin Suling turned around gently and looked at the old lady who had been with him for many years, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She was fully aware of the huge impact today's events had on Nanny Wu, and she also knew that no matter how much she expressed that she didn't care, it would be difficult to dispel the doubts and worries in her heart.

So she chose to remain silent and responded to Nanny Wu's concern with a gentle smile.

"Mammy, please go and rest. I want to be alone for a while."

Qin Suling said softly, her voice gentle but firm.

Nanny Wu looked at the smile on her face, feeling mixed emotions and almost crying.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, not letting them fall in front of Qin Suling, and forced a smile: "Then you have a good rest, I will come to visit you again at dinner time."

After saying that, Nanny Wu silently picked up the tray on the coffee table and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she looked back reluctantly at Qin Suling's lonely and strong back, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally could only leave silently with a pale face.

As soon as she stepped down the stairs, Nanny Wu was surrounded by a group of anxiously waiting servants.

"Madam Wu, what's the situation? Have you told me?"

"How is your mood, madam? Do you need a doctor to come and see me?"

"I have some quick-acting heart pills here. Would you like to give one to Madam first?"

……

Everyone was talking at once, making a lot of noise.

Nanny Wu was surrounded by people and her ears were filled with noisy sounds.

She was annoyed and shouted to stop the noise.

After the surroundings gradually quieted down, she slowly spoke: "Madam already has an idea in mind."

When these words were spoken, the people around were all shocked, especially one of the women, whose face was filled with disbelief.

They might not have expected that this seemingly weak woman actually had such a tenacious heart, and extraordinary wisdom and calmness.
