Chapter 6 Punishing Xuetongs Naughty Maid (2/2)

Nanny Li was taken aback by Mo Xuetong's questioning. She opened her mouth but could not answer.

She was the most respected nanny by Auntie Fang's side and had always looked down on Mo Xuetong. That was why she had used Auntie Fang's name against Mo Xuetong earlier. If she had said ”Madam” and Third Miss did not dare to object, then the matter would mostly be set. She would find another time to bring the matter to Old Sir and said that Third Miss had agreed. On the account of Young Sir and Eldest Miss, Old Sir would marry Auntie Fang. Then, she would be a prized subject of Auntie Fang. Nanny Li had gone straight for this confidently when she came.

However, she had not expected the Miss to become so sharp now and asked her maid to slap her. Then, she had questioned her so much she was rendered speechless. Those around her looked at her mocking, pitiful and indifferent glances...She suddenly felt angry.

She had always been respected with Auntie Fang and had never been so embarra.s.sed. She had never been slapped by a maid several decades younger than her. She felt embarra.s.sed, and lengthened her neck saying aggressively, ”Third Miss, what right do you have to hit me? I'm a servant of Auntie Fang. You have to see who the owner is even if you're hitting a dog. Third Miss, you've not given consideration to Auntie's face, how are you going to answer to her when you return to the capital?”

”Kneel down!” Mo Xuetong's expression was cold as she yelled sharply.

Everyone in the house had never seen Mo Xuetong so angry before. They all looked at her in shock.

Nanny Li trembled. She felt that Mo Xuetong seemed powerful and imposing, making her feel as if she could not breathe. Her heart beat wildly and she immediately seemed to lose all her imposing manner. Her legs could not help but feel weak and she knelt down.

”Auntie Fang is just a concubine. Yet she dares to call herself Madam. Her servants also dare to belittle the true miss and be impolite. When did the Mo family lose its rules? This time when I return to the capital, Old Madam has to ask Sir when he made that woman Madam of the family. How dare he let a concubine shame the daughter of the main wife.” Nanny Shen of the General Manor was happy for the Old Madam when she saw how angry Mo Xuetong was. She went up and said that to Nanny Li coldly.

Nanny Li understood what was happening then. She did not dare to reply. She gritted her teeth and admitted defeat. She took two ragged breaths and then remained kneeling on the ground, greeting Mo Xuetong again.

”Isn't this Nanny Li, the servant of Auntie Fang? Isn't Auntie Fang someone with lots of principles, when did the people by her side become so unruly so much that they cannot tell the difference between Madam of the family and a concubine?” Mo Lan said sarcastically and coldly by the side.

Nanny Li knelt on the ground and was not asked to get up. She felt angry, and when she heard Mo Lan's words, she wanted badly to unleash her anger. However, she was only a servant here and without the support of Auntie Fang, she dared not do anything. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. Her face was red from her anger and she could not say anything.

”Third Miss, this old servant is stupid! This old servant has been blind and deaf.” Nanny Li could only lower her head. When she saw that Mo Xuetong's expression was still frigid, she knew that she was still angry. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed loudly several times. Her head hit the tiled floor, making loud cracking sounds. The old woman grimaced in pain.

”Nanny Li, you are indeed stupid not being able to differentiate the concubine from the madam. How about when I return to the capital, I tell father to help Auntie Fang pick a few nannies so that others will not be blind and deaf to mistake the concubine from the true wife.” Mo Xuetong said when Nanny Li's forehead became bruised and swelled up. Mo Xuetong looked indifferent as she said that while smoothing out the wrinkles on her sleeves.

Nanny Li's breath hitched. She was careful not to reply, afraid that she might anger the miss if she were not careful.

Mo Xuetong ignored the kneeling Nanny Li. She turned around and said, politely and gently, to Nanny Shen, ”Is this Nanny Shen? How is grandmother doing?”

”The Old Madam is doing well. She misses you and hopes that you can return soon. She was so happy she ate an extra half bowl of rice when she saw your letter. She was worried about you and sent me to fetch you back to the capital.” Nanny Shen said with a laugh when she saw Mo Xuetong asking about the Old Madam. She was happy for the Old Madam.

She did not expect that the seemingly weak and gentle young miss would take care of the arrogant woman on their first meeting. Nanny Shen was secretly impressed. The young miss was not as weak and useless as rumored. Nanny Shen could not help but be more gentle in her speech.

The two talked about family matters and intentionally ignored Nanny Li who was kneeling there.

Moments later, Mo Xuetong seemed to suddenly realize that Nanny Li was still kneeling on the ground. She said coldly, ”Nanny Li, quick get up. I was so agitated I forgot that you were still kneeling here. I had completely forgotten while speaking with Nanny Shen. I reprimanded you for your memory, but it seems like I'm the same.”

This was a complete slap to Nanny Li's face. Nanny Li wanted badly to stand up and scold Mo Xuetong! However, she did not dare and pretended to be happy. She smiled dryly and said, ”How can Third Miss say that. It is this old servant who did not pay attention first. I was so happy to see Third Miss that I forgot to greet you. I was wrong and have embarra.s.sed myself in front of Third Miss.”

Mo Xuetong's expression was frigid when she saw Nanny Li's pathetic appearance and she ignored her.
