Chapter 37 V2 : Why Does The Heart Still Feel Aggrieved? (2/2)

“Yes, this servant doesn’t wish to give trouble to Young Master and Young Mistress! This servant will stay away from her!” Liu Ya spoke with grievances.

Nanny Li who stood at a side was bursting with anger when she heard their conversation. That servant, Liu Ya, being wronged was not a huge matter, but if that were to make trouble for the young master, that definitely must not happen!

That Qiuju! That lass, in the end, was nothing but a servant who can be sold at any time; to think that she dared to touch the members from the first family, and have so much guts to punish someone who belonged to the young master, does that lass even respect the young master in the first place?!

Previously when Liu Ya narrated her story which depicted that it was Qiuju who was in the wrong, Nanny Li was already annoyed: Why the need to be so low as to have the need to hide away from that lass? Young Master may respect his elders, but there was no reason to let a servant go unpunished for the sake of an elder’s face!

“Young Mistress!” Nanny Li sneered, “Even if Liu Ya truly was in the wrong, it was unheard of for a maidservant who belonged to the second family to touch one who belonged to the first family. Now with the young master, young mistress, and the management, even Second Old Mistress would not inconvenient herself to punish those not within her area of control! But Qiuju that lass had the guts to do so! This cannot be let off so easily, otherwise, a second time might happen!”

Of course Sang Wan agreed to those words, but her mouth spoke the opposite and urged Nanny Li to let it go this time around for the matter was small, and also because the relationship between the first and second family may sour if matters were to be blown. However, Nanny Li was firm in her stand and wanted to listen no more. She spoke, “Young Mistress, you’re the new daughter-in-law, and so, just leave this matter to this old servant! We don’t really have to do anything, this old servant will bring Liu Ya to greet Second Old Mistress, and then return the favor to Qiuju and her master!”

With that, she did not forget about Liu Ya and continued, “No need to wash your face and comb your hair. Also, no need to apply the ointment; come, we’ll pay them a visit now!”

Liu Ya did not hesitate. Even before Sang Wan was able to decline, she immediately accompanied Nanny Li and a few other young maidservants as they left to visit Second Old Mistress.

It was too late for Sang Wan to have them change their mind, and all she could do was let out a sigh and let them be.

Hong Ye was still left confused but Zhide was no doubt clear of Sang Wan’s intentions and could not help but give her praise in her heart: Young Mistress truly is witty! What a good strategy!

In such a situation, letting Nanny Li handle it was no doubt the most appropriate. One was because of her old age and identity that even Second Old Mistress would think twice when going against her; Two was her protectiveness which was famous throughout the entire household. She might not care about those who offended her, but if anyone ever offends the young master, even if it were the heavens, she would not let them save face!

Deploying her was truly the best option! Second Old Mistress and Qiuju should consider themselves unlucky for not thinking twice when provoking Young Mistress!

For a master to have such a kind heart, knows how to strategize, and is willing to make a stand for her servants, where else can such a person be found?

Zhide unknowingly became lost in thought; as a servant, wasn’t having the correct master the most important of all?

Sure enough, Second Old Mistress was extremely embarrassed about the fact that a maidservant close to the second old master dared to touch someone who belonged to the young master. However, that was not the problem; the actual problem was about Nanny Li having arrived at her doorstep with a few other maidservants. If she did not show her sincerity, the matter would not be solved easily.

Seeing Liu Ya’s swollen cheeks and teary eyes, Second Old Mistress became even more ashamed and furious. If possible, she would have dragged that Qiuju and beaten her to death right here right now!

Concubine Fang claimed that she was ‘ill’ and was not present, but had someone return the slaps on Qiuju’s cheeks and dragged the crying her over. That person apologized profusely to Second Old Mistress, and then to Liu Ya, before saying that Concubine Fang was furious when she got wind of the news and had already punished Qiuju. If Nanny Li and Liu Ya were still unsatisfied, they may teach the unruly maidservant a heavy lesson for such a maidservant was better gone dead!

Qiuju hurriedly kneeled down in front of Second Old Mistress to beg for mercy and then to Liu Ya as more tears flowed down her eyes as an indication that she would never dare to do it again. Good words rolled out from Qiuju’s mouth like the water in the Yellow River which immediately put Liu Ya in a difficult position.

When had Liu Ya ever seen such a scene? In an instant, she became dumbfounded and a sense of guilt birthed in her heart as if she herself was the villain who viciously bullies weak women. Her face showed an expression of being uncomfortable and retreated behind Nanny Li embarrassedly before giving the look.

Nanny Li was used to seeing the cheap trick of retreating when the situation was unfavorable and advancing when it was not. Her heart was secretly furious but she understood that she should not be unreasonable——giving a heavy lesson was not something an old nanny like her was capable of. As such, she bitterly scolded Qiuju with a few sentences and left with Liu Ya under the polite send-off by the maidservants that were beside Second Old Mistress.

On the route back to Ning Garden, Nanny Li still felt unsatisfied. Even though Qiuju was punished, she was not punished by her which would inevitably give a sense of empty feeling as if her punch had hit thin air.

Nanny Li’s face was dark, and Liu Ya who just returned back to her senses also felt aggrieved.

And because of the hate towards a similar enemy, Liu Ya and Nanny Li’s relationship became even closer. From behind, she caught up with Nanny Li after a few steps and spoke in doubt, “Nanny, although I had already seen that Qiuju had received her punishment, why does my heart still somewhat feel uncomfortable; somewhat aggrieved?”

Hearing so, Nanny Li stopped in her tracks and sighed, “Why won’t you? Concubine Fang was quicker than us when playing the cards that the act became unquestionable. What’s worse is that even though it was so obvious that they were acting, we could do nothing but accept that act. It would be strange if your heart felt satisfied at all!”
