Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 491: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (13)

Nanny Chang hurriedly said, "My dear Second Miss! You can't touch the cat! Be careful or you'll get another rash!"

Fu Huaiying looked at the nanny who came with Fu Shuyue's dowry, with no expression on his face.

Nanny Chang only then saw Fu Huaiying and bowed slowly: "This servant greets Madam. Madam, please don't blame me for coming in without permission. I was really worried about the Second Young Miss."

When the original owner was still in the boudoir, Nanny Chang served Yan Binghua. Later, she followed Fu Shuyue to the Marquis' Mansion. After Fu Shuyue's death, she stayed to take care of the two orphans.

It was precisely because of this Nanny Chang's "merit" that Zhao Tunan hated the original owner so much that even Zhao Fuyao, who was growing up, no longer had a close relationship with the original owner.

Nanny Chang begged for mercy, but her face showed no fear at all.

Fu Huaiying stood at the door. Although she had not put on any makeup, the indifferent expression on her face made people feel scared for no reason.

"Since you know you've trespassed into my courtyard without permission, get out of here! You're not allowed to come in without my permission."

Nanny Chang's drooping eyelids suddenly opened: "Madam——"

"She dared to talk back when the master was giving her a lecture. Hongling, go and give her three slaps in the face."

Hongling received the order and quickly walked to Nanny Chang and slapped her three times.

There is also a sense of personal revenge in this.

Hongling and Nanny Chang were originally Yan Binghua's people. When they were in Fu's mansion, Nanny Chang often took advantage of the fact that she had served Yan Binghua for many years to order these second-class maids around.

After Hongling was awarded to Fu Huaiying as a maid during her dowry, Nanny Chang often mocked her for "betraying her master".

But Hongling couldn't tell Yan Binghua that she was actually Yan Binghua's person, so she could only suffer in vain.

Now that she finally had the chance to vent her anger, Hongling let it all out, along with the tension she had been walking on thin ice for the past few days.

Nanny Chang was stunned.

She looked at Hongling in disbelief, then at Fu Huaiying who was looking down at her.

How dare she—

It's really amazing! Becoming a marquis' wife is incredible!

"Drag her out. Anyone who enters Hexiangyuan without my permission will be beaten with ten sticks." Fu Huaiying shouted coldly, and Nanny Chang was dragged out of Hexiangyuan by the old woman who did the rough work.

Zhao Fuyao was so frightened that he stopped sneezing and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Fu Huaiying looked at Zhao Fuyao and said calmly, "Hongling, take the Second Miss out and have Nanny Chang take her back."

"You can't keep a cat. I'll have my servants take it and release it."

Zhao Fuyao had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.

When Fu Huaiying returned to the house, the tabby cat was lying on the chaise longue, licking its fur, looking particularly relaxed and comfortable.

After Hongling came back, Fu Huaiying asked her to be careful not to let the cat get on her bed when she was on guard at night, and to use mugwort leaves to fumigate away insects wherever the cat had been.

...

On the other side, Nanny Chang, who had been beaten, was indignant and said to Zhao Fuyao along the way: "Second Miss, you have also seen it. That lady is not a kind person!"

Zhao Fuyao was confused and said, "But you went in without asking for permission, so it's only right that your aunt punishes you."

Nanny Chang said, "Young lady, your mother is not a mistress who mistreats servants! Moreover, this old servant is eager to find his master, so this small mistake is excusable. Why scold me in front of so many servants?"

Seeing that Zhao Fuyao was still young, Nanny Chang stopped talking.

When Zhao Tunan returned to Fu Shuyue's Chengxinyuan, he was worried and wanted to go out to look for her.

As soon as Madam Chang saw Zhao Tunan, she burst into tears: "Master! You have to make the decision for me!"

Zhao Tunan frowned. "What happened?" He looked at Zhao Fuyao and found that her eyes and nose were red, as if she had been crying. "But where did Yaoyao get wronged?"

Nanny Chang recounted what had just happened, adding more details.

"Madam is so unreasonable! She asked Hongling, who was beside her, to slap this old slave a few times." Nanny Chang cried, "It doesn't matter if she hits me, but I'm afraid it will scare the Second Young Lady!"

"If you don't know, you might think that Madam is holding a grudge against her deceased elder sister!"

"Master! Look at my face, it's all swollen!"

Zhao Tunan's face was very ugly. He said to Zhao Fuyao, "Yaoyao, don't go to Hexiangyuan anymore in the future!"

Then he turned to Madam Chang and said, "Aye will be back soon. I will ask Aye to seek justice for you."

Nanny Chang burst into tears, but Zhao Fuyao said, "Brother, I just wanted to find the brown tiger, but it ran to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard."

Zhao Tunan was a little angry and a little helpless: "Yaoyao, didn't I say that cats are not allowed in the mansion? Look at you, are you hugging it again?"

At this time, Nanny Chang spoke up, "Young Master, please don't blame the Second Young Lady. Your mother, Miss Shuyue, also loved raising raccoon dogs when she was young, but she stopped raising them after she moved to the Marquis's residence."

As Nanny Chang spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Zhao Tunan also fell silent.

He thought about how when he passed by the garden after school today, he saw his second aunt and second uncle playing with his two younger brothers and sister in the garden, and he felt lonely.

"If only mother were still alive...it would be great."

Nanny Chang said, "Although I have only served Miss Shuyue for four years, I also watched her grow up in the Fu Mansion. Although Miss Shuyue was a little frail since childhood, she is not a person with such a miserable fate."

Zhao Tunan's mood became even more depressed.

"It must be that beauty is envied by heaven... Alas, heaven is so unfair that she passed away so early. Miss Shuyue's spirit in heaven will surely bless the two masters with safety and success."

Zhao Tunan immediately thought of his aunt, who was also his and Fuyao's stepmother.

If you ask who benefits the most from their mother's death, isn't it her!?

A trace of hatred flashed in Zhao Tunan's eyes. Seeing this, Nanny Chang said no more and urged someone to serve the meal.

Zhao Tunan held Zhao Fuyao's hand and made up his mind to protect his sister. He would expose the woman's true face in front of Aye and drive her out of the mansion!

...

The weather was sunny for eight or nine days in a row. Fu Huaiying, who had been "hiding" in Hexiangyuan for several days, decided to go out and inspect how the shop was doing.

She specifically used the excuse of "buying jewelry for Zhao Ying". The old lady quickly agreed and asked her to go early and come back early.

This time, Fu Huaiying went to the West Market on purpose. If he walked straight out from the West Square Gate, he would just reach the West Market.

West Market is the market where ordinary people often gather. If East Market is prosperous, then West Market is lively.

The West Market is for the Hu people, and the East Market is for the Gui people.

The streets of West Market are not as wide as those of East Market, but they are crowded with people.

The carriage was moving very slowly in the middle of the road, so Fu Huaiying asked the coachman to stop aside, and she and Hongxiu got off to walk around.

The four streets and eight gates of the West Market are arranged like a chessboard, with colorful silk curtains covering the sky and shops lined up one after another.

Hu merchants can be seen everywhere leading camels, and the camel bells create a melodious melody amid the bustling crowd.

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Marquis Dingbei is back! The main force has passed Mingde Gate! They're on Suzaku Street! Everyone, go and see!"
