C7 Just Listen to the Mother

"Why did she get punished?"

"This humble one does not know that this humble one is only here to guard on the orders of the Prime Minister's wife."

"Let me take a look." Although the two doors were locked by a chain and could not be fully opened, the gap was large enough for Chu Qianmo to be able to see inside. Nanny Liu was kneeling on the ground with her body bent forward, her hair in a mess, and her face pale, not knowing how long she had maintained this posture, and even the noises outside could not be heard clearly, she was probably going to faint.

Chu Qianmo looked at the two servants who seemed to have no intention of dying. Without thinking too much, she turned around and entered Heze Pavilion. Before the servant girl at the door could go inside to inform her, Chu Qianmo had already drawn the curtain and entered the house.

"Why did you shut Nanny Liu down?" Chu Qianmo's small body was upright and straight. Two cold rays of light shot out from her rough almond-shaped eyes, locking onto Su Panxue's slightly plump face.

"Impudent! Spouse of Prime Minister is punishing a slave. Do you still want me to report to you?" Su Panxue's personal maidservant, who was currently massaging her back, looked at Chu Qianmo and shouted without waiting for Spouse of Prime Minister to speak.

"What kind of onion are you? I'm talking to Spouse of Prime Minister. Do you want to be Spouse of Prime Minister? Apart from being born with a bad heart, you still have some chances of winning. At least you look a little pretty. " Even though she was a servant, she had relied on her master to bully Chu Qianmo.

"…" As she used this move to sow discord, the young maid immediately felt Spouse of Prime Minister's body move away from her. She even shot a glance at her, scaring her to the point where her face turned pale.

"She didn't get punished. It was you who got punished. Just when I was about to come looking for you, you actually came yourself." Chu Hanyan, who had been sitting at the side, got up from her sandalwood chair. She smiled as she held her head in her hands.

"Why should I be punished?" Without waiting for Spouse of Prime Minister to speak, Chu Qianmo pulled a chair over and sat down.

Spouse of Prime Minister wanted to flare up, but she also wanted to wait for Chu Qianmo to make a joke of herself. In the end, she hid the sullen expression on her face and used the silk handkerchief in her hand to touch her nose, concealing it.

"The cat in the Prime Minister's Mansion was discovered dead miserably at the door of your room this morning. That day, it was the buddhist hall that it brought you to. Your mom could attach your body to it, then she could give it spirit energy.

"Why should I kill it?"

"Because you're afraid of cats."

"I'm afraid of cats, how would I dare to kill it?"

"..." It was Nanny Liu who killed him. Was it wrong to punish her? "

"That cat should be dozens of years old. Is it as old as Spouse of Prime Minister?"

"Nonsense, that cat is well-built." That cat was indeed from when Su Panxue married into the family, and it followed her here from Su Family. At that time, it was still a kitten, and should be the same age as Chu Hanyan now, sixteen years old. Chu Hanyan blurted out in order to flatter her mother that she was in her prime.

"It's body is vigorous and vigorous. Nanny Liu is so sick that she can't even walk fast. How can she catch it?"

"…"

"So you're blaming the wrong person?"

"…" The few people in the room looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. Chu Hanyan, who was previously like a rooster who liked to fight, was now flushed red and kept her head down without saying a word.

"Nanny Liu was sick to her bones to begin with. Now that she's been punished and frightened by someone for no reason, you guys must compensate her with some mental compensation, right?"

"I've never heard of someone punishing a servant in their mansion and even giving them compensation." Chu Hanyan retorted, unable to bear it any longer.

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the bastard. Do you mean the Prime Minister's house is higher than the Son of Heaven? Also, didn't you just say that the cat was intelligent? Would killing it be disrespectful to the gods? He had to find the person who killed it. How about we report this to His Majesty and investigate everything?! "

Su Panxue, "…"

Chu Hanyan, "…"

"What do you think, Spouse of Prime Minister?"

"Go, get someone to release Nanny Liu. Take twenty silver to suppress your shock." Su Panxue gritted her teeth as she turned around to speak to her personal maid, taking the opportunity to gouge her out with her eyes. If there really was a god involved, then if there was a buddhist shrine involved, there was no telling what would happen in the end. They absolutely could not afford to be careless.

Chu Qianmo didn't have time to waste on Nanny Liu as she followed the maidservant out. The mother and daughter left the room, panting heavily. Finally, Spouse of Prime Minister rubbed her temples and sighed.

"Mom, Yan'Er is going to die from anger." Chu Hanyan stomped her foot. She never thought that she would be tricked by Chu Qianmo. When did that silly little girl become so eloquent in the past?

"It looks like these moths will be present in every day she lives in this world." Su Panxue suddenly regained her usual composure. With a cold glint in her eyes, she said, "You haven't seen the crown prince for quite some time, have you?"

"Mother …" As she spoke of the crown prince, Chu Hanyan bashfully lowered her head, two red clouds flying up to her cheeks.

As legitimate daughter of Prime Minister's Mansion and the niece of the current empress of Xikang Empire, Chu Hanyan had naturally already betrothed her best husband long ago. She only waited for the wedding day to end and enter the Eastern Palace to take over the world with the crown prince.

The empress had no children, and Third Prince had raised him within her Fenghe Palace since he was young. It was only because he was very close with her and distant with his own mother that he could become the crown prince.

"It is only natural for you to invite the crown prince to your residence. If that girl is too rash and dares to act in such a manner, there will be nothing the current Prince can do even if he wanted to protect her. " Su Panxue's rebuttal made Chu Hanyan overjoyed. "I will listen to mother."

After saying that, she stamped her feet shyly, lifted up her skirt, and pushed aside the curtain as she left.

"Nanny Liu, what are you doing now?" Chu Qianmo rested for a while in the inner room, but when she came out she couldn't find Nanny Liu. Just as she was getting anxious, she saw Nanny Liu come in from the outside.

"If an honored guest were to arrive, the servants of the entire mansion would be busy cleaning the courtyard and decorating the porch." It was probably because Chu Qianmo had made Nanny Liu feel more confident in the past two days, so she seemed to be in much better spirits.

"There are so many people busying themselves. I do not need you to do it. Besides, you are not a servant, you are my senior." Chu Qianmo helped Nanny Liu to a chair and sat her down.

"Miss Mo, please don't say it like that. It would kill me." Nanny Liu could not refuse Chu Qianmo. Sitting on the chair, she had an uncomfortable look on her face.

"You are not allowed to call me Miss Mo in the future. Just call me Qianmo. This is an order." Chu Qianmo put her head on her head. It really did look like that.
