Chapter 277: Chapter 106: Desolate_4

Nanny Hao’s complexion changed drastically as she said, “Miss, how can you be so…” Under Yueyao’s mocking gaze, she could only manage a bitter smile, “Miss, the Old Madam indeed left some words.” Nanny Hao clearly remembered the Old Madam’s last words. The Old Madam had told her that if the Third Young Lady ever did something to harm the Lian family, the Great Master should send the Third Young Lady to the Nunnery to spend her lifetime there. In fact, Nanny Hao thought this was even more cruel than taking the Third Young Lady’s life directly. A life accompanied by ancient Buddha’s and dim lanterns is worse than death itself.

Upon hearing Nanny Hao’s words, Yueyao felt profound distress, as if the seas had overturned. It turned out that, in this life as in her past life, she was still someone abandoned. Fortunately, in this life, she had sought the support of her uncle’s family, which was the only reason her grandmother had so readily given her her mother’s dowry.

Yueyao’s heart was bleeding, but in front of Nanny Hao she had to pretend everything was fine. Yueyao said indifferently, “After some time when things have calmed down, I will release your indenture, and you can go wherever you want!”

Nanny Hao was momentarily lost; she had no home left, and her children had deeply hurt her, so she never thought about seeking them out. In Nanny Hao’s heart, she acted as if they were dead.

Actually, Nanny Hao was afraid, afraid that if she went to find them, they would not recognize her as their mother. Once she left the Lian family, where could she go?

Nanny Hao watched Yueyao immersed in her agony, realizing they had one thing in common, both abandoned by those they loved most. Nanny Hao told Yueyao directly, “Miss, I no longer have a home. If Miss is willing, I would like to stay by your side forever.” She was Yueyao’s Steward Mother; if she left Yueyao but not the Lian family, there would be no place for her in the Lian family.

However, Yueyao said pointedly, “How can I trust you?”

Nanny Hao replied with a bitter smile, “Miss, although the Old Madam left those words, I never intended to carry them out. I am very aware that you, Third Young Lady, are a person of pure mind and would not harm the Lian family unless pushed to desperate straits by Lady Mo.” These were heartfelt words from Nanny Hao. Even though the Old Madam had entrusted her with this task, she was indeed not prepared to carry it out. When push comes to shove, if one does not fight back, that person deserves to die, then she would just watch without saying anything.

Everyone cherishes their own life; she had survived through the same ordeal, so how could she harm the Third Young Lady who similarly refused to accept her fate without a fight.

Yueyao did not make a sound; anyone can say nice words.

After a moment of hesitation, Nanny Hao said, “Miss, I’ve been in the mansion for over twenty years and have formed quite a few good relations; these relations will definitely be useful to you in the future.” Over those twenty years, Nanny Hao had helped many people, and these people would definitely be able to assist her with numerous tasks in the future.

Yueyao was somewhat moved by this. Within the Lian Mansion, she felt powerless alone; just depending on those bought over by Nanny Deng was not enough, because the information from these people was only superficial; she could not dig deeper. Yueyao said, “If you can tell me all about these people and specify how these good relations were established, I will believe you.” Allegiance had to be proven.

Nanny Hao, having observed Yueyao over this period, was certain that Yueyao was a very kind-hearted person. Observing how Yueyao treated the Maid, the Old Madam, and her Embroideress, anyone who treated her well received her full generosity; even those who were not good to her and frequently schemed against her, she would help within her capabilities. For instance, the Eldest Miss would have definitely been in trouble if the Third Young Lady had not alerted the Old Madam at that time. The Third Young Lady was very kind-hearted; if not for Lady Mo being too cruel, I believe the Third Young Lady would not have opposed her.

Upon seeing the list in her hands, Yueyao felt that if all this was true, her time in the mansion would be much easier in the future. She didn’t need these people to risk their lives for her; she just needed to get the information to be prepared rather than being blind and deaf, then ending up slaughtered like fish on a chopping board. Yueyao looked at Nanny Hao and asked softly, “Nanny, do you have any unfulfilled desires?”

Nanny Hao shook her head, “No desires?”

Yueyao thought for a moment and said, “I heard you have a son and a daughter, if you do not wish to see them, it doesn’t matter, grandchildren are also fine. This way, Nanny Hao will have someone to rely on when you’re old.” This wasn’t Yueyao using Nanny Hao’s grandchildren or children as a threat, but without any leverage over Nanny Hao, she couldn’t truly believe Nanny Hao’s sincerity in allegiance, a problem left over from her past life.
