Chapter 244
The nanny referred to the current family of the Yin Family, particularly Xiaohua’s father, as "that man," while little Xiaohua, who was just over four years old and still in her innocent phase, even called her biological father "that bad man." It seems this master of the Yin Family was truly not a good person.
Chen Muxue tenderly stroked Xiaohua’s head with some sympathy.
Her mother had passed away early, and her biological father didn’t seem reliable, perhaps even becoming a threat to her. Yet, Xiaohua remained cheerful every day; it’s not easy.
She hoped Xiaohua could stay happy like this forever.
Chen Muxue immediately put away some of her thoughts.
She had been considering letting Xiaohua return if her family came looking for her, thinking it was a large family after all. But after hearing the full story, Chen Muxue decided that, no matter what, she wouldn’t let Xiaohua go back.
Not to mention the servant who had tried to sell Xiaohua was now a favored concubine, according to the nanny.
What a disgusting situation.
The nanny felt more relieved seeing the genuine care Chen Muxue showed when she touched Xiaohua’s head. It seemed that this Sect Leader of the Qian Ding Sect had some true affection for her Miss Xiaohua and might not have ulterior motives as she had feared.
However, she wouldn’t relax just yet. Things seemed fine now, but who knows what could be hiding beneath the surface? Like the current water concubine!
As long as they were in the capital city, she could observe at any time...
"By the way, why are you staying at the Huo Family’s Villa? Is it a long-term stay or a temporary one?" The nanny finally remembered to ask.
As a servant, she rarely had the opportunity or courage to ask questions of masters like them, but the young Miss Chen seemed approachable and probably wouldn’t blame her...
On the contrary, the man beside her had an aura even stronger than that of "that man"; being so young yet having such presence, he must not be an ordinary person. She hoped he wouldn’t blame her...
"Oh, we have some matters to handle in the capital, so we shouldn’t stay long," Chen Muxue said, scratching her head. "We’re friends with the eldest master of the Huo Family, and he invited us to stay here. It was hard to refuse such hospitality..."
Considering that the inns in the capital were likely quite expensive, having such a large residence to stay in for free was indeed a great opportunity.
The nanny’s eyes dimmed slightly. How would she keep track of the young lady’s situation after they left? Miss Xiaohua was so young and alone; who would she turn to if she were bullied?
She wished she could take Miss Xiaohua back to raise her right now, but without the lady of the Yin Family, it was like a dragon’s lair!
Oh yes, if she couldn’t go back to the Yin Family, she could take Miss Xiaohua back to the Shui Family!
Even though the road to Miaojiang was long, as long as they sent word back, the Shui Family would certainly send someone to fetch her!
The nanny’s eyes brightened a little. She took out an envelope and handed it to Chen Muxue: "Sect Leader, as long as you give this envelope to the night guard Little Radish at the side gate of the Yin Family, it will be delivered to me. Before you take Miss Xiaohua out of the capital, you must notify me!"
As she spoke, her tears began to drip again, some falling onto Chen Muxue’s hand.
Like being burned, Chen Muxue quickly withdrew her hand while holding the envelope: "I will, I will, please don’t cry. Crying too much is not good for your eyes."
The nanny looked only to be in her thirties, but her eyes were swollen, with deep dark circles, and her hair was greying. She must have been tormented endlessly by the matter of Xiaohua being lost.
Only then did the nanny take her leave. Before departing, she glanced at Xiaohua with great resolve in her heart.
Miss Xiaohua, wait for your maternal family to come and get you! After all, they are your maternal family; even if Miss Xiaohua lost her cultivation, surely they wouldn’t let Miss Xiaohua wander the streets because of their familial ties!
