Chapter 495 Becoming a Walking Duck
Shen Xia looked at Nanny Yu: "Nanny Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Nanny Yu seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts and did not hear what Shen Xia said.
It was Chunhua who was standing next to her who pulled her aside and said, "Madam Yu, the Madam is calling you."
Only then did Nanny Yu come to her senses.
Retracting the sadness in his eyes: "Madam, what's wrong."
Shen Xia asked curiously, "Mammy, what's wrong with you?"
Nanny Yu shook her head gently and said slowly, "It's nothing, Madam. It's just that I never thought that I would have the opportunity to return to this house in my lifetime."
Hearing this, Shen Xia was even more confused and asked, "Return to this house? What's the reason for this?"
Nanny Yu sighed softly and continued to explain: "Madam, you don't know, this courtyard belongs to the master I served before. Back then, that family was also prosperous for a while, but unfortunately they encountered misfortune and were confiscated by the court, so I left this place."
After hearing this, Shen Xia was also very surprised. She never thought that this yard she bought casually would have such a wonderful fate.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the fickleness of fate, but at the same time, I had more questions, so I continued to ask: "Since their homes were confiscated, are they... no longer alive?"
Nanny Yu shook her head again and replied with a somewhat sad look: "That's not the case. They didn't die, but were banished to a remote place."
Shen Xia frowned and asked in confusion: "Then how did you get away?"
At this moment, Nanny Yu showed a trace of sadness on her face, and said quietly: "I originally grew up with the old lady, but after the young master was born, I stayed by his side and took good care of him."
"Who would have thought that something would suddenly happen to the master, and the young master and his wife resolutely cut off their relationship with the master and his family in order to protect themselves."
"The young lady's family asked for help from their connections, and I was lucky enough not to be implicated because I served the young master. I wanted to go with the old lady, but she asked me to stay with the young master. It's just a pity for the young master, who followed the old master and the old lady. I don't know what he is like now."
After hearing this, Shen Xia didn't feel comfortable commenting on other people's affairs.
In order to protect themselves, the son and daughter-in-law actually broke off relations with their parents.
However, in this case, the parents should also be willing for their son to break off relations with him.
At least the bloodline is preserved.
The difference lies in who brought up the matter first. If it was the parents who brought it up first, it means they love their child very much.
If it was the children who proposed it, it would be unkind and unjust.
I just don't understand why my grandson went into exile with him.
Don’t his parents feel sorry for him?
"Then how could your young master and his wife have the heart to let the child go into exile with the old man?"
Nanny Yu shook her head, "There's nothing we can do, because the young master has been raised by the old lady's side since he was a child. The young lady and the young master are not close to the child. The old lady is worried that the young master will not be treated well when she is not around, so she brought him along. The key point is that the young master is willing to follow the old lady and the others."
"Then why are you there?" Shen Xia thought about the first time she saw Nanny Yu in the slave market, she was covered in wounds.
I'm exhausted from being tortured.
"Alas! The young lady didn't seem to be happy that I was with the young master. She didn't get along well with the old lady before. As the old lady's person, the young lady probably wasn't happy about me. It was fine at first, but gradually she found a reason to give me a bad reputation and sold me out."
"The people who lived in the old house have basically been replaced over the years. I'm glad she sold me, otherwise I wouldn't have met the princess. I'm doing menial work over there."
Shen Xia also felt sad after hearing this.
Just didn't expect it.
Nanny Yu also had this experience.
Then she comforted him, "Don't worry, Nanny Yu, your former master's old lady is a good person and will definitely be rewarded."
Nanny Yu replied: "I hope so!"
"Well," he said, looking at the servants and maids beside him, "As long as you work hard for me, I will give you a good place to live in the future. If you don't have children, I will give you a place to live in your old age."
The maids and servants nearby were extremely happy.
Shen Xia looked at Ruyi and said, "Whenever you want to get married, just come to me when the time is right."
Ruyi’s face turned red: “Madam…” Why are there so many people around?
How embarrassing!
A group of people walked towards the front of the yard.
Then I saw a pair of wild geese in the middle.
Shen Xia looked at Jixiang: "Why are there wild geese here?"
Jixiang smiled and said, "It's the wild goose that Master Gu is betrothing you to!"
"Then why didn't it fly away?"
Jixiang smiled and said, "Master Gu clipped its flight feathers, so it can no longer fly, and is kept in this yard."
Shen Xia nodded: "Oh, okay! Then remember to feed him."
Jixiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam! Someone will feed her every day."
Shen Xia looked at the two geese next to them that were still contented. They were once a pair of geese, but now they had turned into free-range ducks.
A group of people walked around the entire yard.
Song's mother will also come to the capital.
So Shen Xia looked at everything and then gave instructions on how to arrange it.
Wait until Song's mother and others come to the capital, and then move here together.
But this yard still needs a housekeeper.
I don’t know who Song’s mother brought with her. Now that the yard is so big, it seems that we need to buy some more people.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to take care of such a big house.
As for the housekeeper, you don’t need to buy it for now.
If Butler Fan comes, let him continue to be the butler.
If he doesn't come, just promote someone else.
Qiu Ziyang and Han Ji left the princess's mansion together.
Han Ji felt heartbroken. Just because his grades weren't as good as theirs, were they starting to distance themselves from him?
Qiu Ziyang looked at Han Ji, who looked unhappy. "Han Ji, staying in the capital is not necessarily a good thing, and going to the countryside is not necessarily a bad thing. You don't have to think that the countryside is bad."
Han Ji looked at Qiu Ziyang aggressively and said, "The place is so good, why don't you go there?"
Qiu Ziyang frowned: "You are emotionally unstable now, calm down and talk first!"
After saying that, Qiu Ziyang also left.
Thinking that his parents should be coming to the capital soon.
When the time comes, I will buy a smaller yard in Beijing.
There should be no problem.
He has no money now, otherwise, he would like to find a yard and move out.
He simply didn't understand what was wrong with Han Ji.
How did it become like this?
Given his personality, the capital city is probably not suitable for him.
He came to see Song Yun today because the documents for decentralization had been issued.
