Chapter 175 She Frightened Nanny Zheng (2/2)

Of course, she would not say this at this time. It would only make others think that she was a little too weird. Therefore, she answered to make herself look more normal.

“I might as well go with the flow!” Qin Wanru smiled. Her long eyelashes fluttered, which covered all the emotions in her eyes. But if she could, she felt that she’d better not to get married.

“I hope that Shui Ruolan will give birth to a boy. Then, he will inherit everything and become the future of the General’s Mansion. And I can spend my remaining years till death in this mansion because of the boy, my brother.”

Nanny Zheng looked at Qin Wanru in front of her face with amazement. “It seems that this small child has experienced many vicissitudes of life and the fickleness of human friendships. To my surprise, she isn’t concerned about the things that these girls keep thinking about. Is it because she is too little to understand the marriage? Or is it because she understood it so that she doesn’t want the marriage?”

Looking at the smiling eyes in front of her, Nanny Zheng felt that this child must understand what the marriage meant, but she did not want to get married.

At first, Nanny Zheng lacked interest in everything because she was driven out of the Imperial Palace. But now, she was intrigued.

“Are you willing to stay in Qin’s Mansion and follow me?” All of a sudden, Qin Wanru smiled. In her eyes, it seemed that there was a burning flame jumping in her eyes.

“I am only an etiquette instructor. I will only teach you for some time. After that, I will go back!” Nanny Zheng replied. She did not understand the meaning of Qin Wanru.

“I am still young. If I want an etiquette instructor to teach me, then the instructor will spend at least a few years with me. You have just got out of the Imperial Palace, and you may not have the chance to go back there. Don’t you want to find a place that you can stay for a long time?”

The smile on Qin Wanru’s face was as warm as the spring breeze.

Her words reminded Nanny Zheng of her painful memories, so her face fell again. She remained silent. It was true that she wanted to go back. In Nanny Zheng’s eyes, the Qin’s Mansion was nothing but a stepping stone she used to spend her transition period. Moreover, Nanny Zheng believed that her master would find a way to get her back.

“Nanny Zheng, I heard that you are the person released from the Imperial Palace. You were also implicated because of some matters. I don’t care who you served before. Now you wish that your previous master can get you back to the Imperial Palace after you have been driven out. However, it is not an easy thing for your master whoever she is, even if she was the empress. If she truly has the ability to get you back, she would not let you be driven out in the first place!”

Nanny Zheng was indeed a person Qin Wanru expected such that she would not let her go. At this time, when Qin Wanru looked at Nanny Zheng’s face, she knew clearly what Nanny Zheng was expecting. Hence, Qin Wanru chose to break all her expectations and tell her the truth, leaving no space for manoeuvers.

“Second Miss, how did you know things in the Imperial Palace?” The face of Nanny Zheng became very ugly and gloomy. “I came to your mansion only as an etiquette instructor. As for other things, please be cautious with your words, Second Miss. Even if you are young, there are some things you cannot say!”

It seemed that Qin Wanru broke something in her heart, Nanny Zheng felt very unhappy in her heart!

“Do you think what I said is right, Nanny Zheng?” Qin Wanru smiled lightly and leaned back a little. She seemed not to behave herself decently. But her act matched very well with the situation. Somehow, Nanny Zheng did not think that she was rude to her.

“What do you want, Second Miss?” Nanny Zheng felt awful and uncomfortable as if something had hit her a thump on the heart. Something in her heart was as clear as the glass, but she just didn’t want to break it. However, Qin Wanru broke the hope of Nanny Zheng straightforwardly at this time.

“I don’t want anything. I think that I am short of a person like you by my side, so I want you to stay. What do you think?”

Seeing Nanny Zheng’s angry face, Qin Wanru continued to say with full composure as if she did not see Nanny Zheng’s stern look.

“Second Miss Qin said a moment ago that you have no ambitions, but now you tore the mask off your face yourself!” Nanny Zheng sneered, her delicate face flushed with rage. All at once, she stood up.

“I said that I’d like to go with the flow doesn’t mean that I want to become a doormat. Or in your understanding, letting nature take its course is to give up everything, let myself being trampled upon at others’ will, and give up my right to protect my most concerned people, right?” Qin Wanru said with a little sneer.

Her sneer looked so shallow that Nanny Zheng could barely see the smile that her lips curved into. Although she was smiling at this moment, Nanny Zheng felt ice-cold. Such a smile with deep darkness and chill, which somehow made Nanny Zheng creep all over.

Nanny Zheng was stunned. In shock, she stared at Qin Wanru, who was right in front of her. Nanny Zheng had imagined ten thousand kinds of Second Miss Qin’s type, but none of them was the one that she saw with her eyes now. Her sneer even reminded Nanny Zheng of the bloody things that she had experienced all year round when she was in the Imperial Palace.

It was impossible for an unmarried girl at such a young age to get in touch with such bloody things. However, this little girl before her who hadn’t yet grown up seemed to know everything, and she could still keep a graceful and calm posture. Qin Wanru shook Nanny Zheng in the depth of her soul. Although no words could tell Nanny Zheng’s weird feeling at this moment, it made her think of the situation she was in at the moment unconsciously.

“Didn’t I give up everything and be driven out of the palace? Didn’t I just let myself being trampled upon at others’ will?” Nanny Zheng thought. Now others avoided her like the plague. Since Qin’s Mansion had just moved to the capital, they were totally unfamiliar with the place and the people here. Otherwise, Nanny Zheng believed that they would not use her.

“Am I driven into a corner by the reality? All the things that I insist on and wait for are nothing but bubbles that I made by myself!”

“Nothing is left when Qin Wanru pricked those bubbles!”

Nanny Zheng thought that she should refuse the little girl in front of her because this little girl was too dangerous. Second Miss Qin was definitely not one of those normal unmarried Young Madams…
