Chapter 2085 - 2087: Confession
"No, I don’t want to!" Nanny Gui was adamantly refusing to meet Madam of Prime Minister.
She knew very well what the outcome would be after seeing Madam of Prime Minister.
Madam of Prime Minister was suspicious and petty. If she saw her being brought to her tied up, she would surely think she had confessed.
Then, not only her life, but also the lives of her two sons, her entire family of four would have to die.
It didn’t matter if she died, but her two sons couldn’t die; the younger one was only seven years old, how could he die.
She believed what the people in front of her said, that Old Third Chen had already confessed; he was a coward afraid of death. And if he hadn’t confessed, how would these people have found her?
"Taking you to see someone, and you don’t want to go. Asking you to talk, and you don’t want to talk. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?" Yang Chuxia sneered coldly, "Take her away. I will ask Madam of Prime Minister what she intends, and if she doesn’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’ll give the women of her family sterilization drugs."
Yang Chuxia’s words shocked Nanny Gui. She had long known that the Marquis Changning’s wife was bold and unruly and didn’t hold back in her actions, but she hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless.
Yes, even though it was dark, she had guessed who the person in front of her was.
Nanny Gui’s mind was racing, thinking about how to extricate herself without implicating Madam of Prime Minister.
"Wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
"Wouldn’t it have been easier if you said so earlier?"
Yang Chuxia gestured, and the two nannies holding her pushed her back onto the chair.
"..." A moment of silence ensued before Yang Chuxia, growing impatient, kicked the chair leg, "Are you playing with me?"
Nanny Gui twitched her mouth before saying, "Actually, this matter wasn’t instigated by my lady; it was instigated by First Madam Luo."
"Her?" Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow, "Do you take me for a fool? You work at Prime Minister’s Mansion, both you and Old Third Chen work for Prime Minister’s Mansion, and yet you tell me this was instigated by the Luo Residence? How did the people of the Luo Residence instigate people from Prime Minister’s Mansion? If you’re going to lie, at least have a draft first. Be honest with me, or I’ll take you to see Madam of Prime Minister immediately."
"Madam, what I’m saying is true," Nanny Gui responded, "I have a good sister who works for Madam of Prime Minister. Once, First Madam Luo came to visit Prime Minister’s Mansion. You know, First Madam Luo never visits without a reason. And our lady also never rises early without profit in mind. The Luo family has declined, and our lady originally did not want to see First Madam Luo. But this time, they talked behind closed doors for a long time; my good sister overheard faintly First Madam Luo saying something about if she couldn’t have children, the opportunity would come."
"Afterward, my good sister had me look for Madam Hongye," Nanny Gui said somewhat cautiously, "Madam Ye, that’s all I know."
"Madam, this old woman is obviously not telling the truth and is trying to shift the blame," Ming Lan immediately said from the side, "Even if this matter involved First Madam Luo, the one who acted was your Madam of Prime Minister. Can you really hide this?"
"Exactly, Madam, let this maid teach her a lesson," Mingqiu chimed in, "In matters like this, the fewer people know, the better. Yet she claims her good sister asked her to find Madam Hongye. It’s absurd, even now she’s trying to deflect blame from Madam of Prime Minister. Does she think that by claiming her good sister directed her, we wouldn’t be able to cause trouble for Madam of Prime Minister?"
