Chapter 78 A Lesson to Nanny Li
When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Wei Ruo really saw Li Nanny who hadn't seen him for a long time, she was darker and thinner than two months ago.
She knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Wei Ruo to apologize as soon as she saw Wei Ruo coming.
Her actions caused several servants in the mansion to stop and watch at the gate of Tingsongyuan.
Seeing this scene, Xiumei frowned, pulled Wei Ruo, and whispered her worries: "Miss, what should I do? Li Nanny did this on purpose! What is the reason for making such a big commotion and attracting so many people to watch?" ?”
"I know what she wants to do, she wants to ruin my reputation as your young lady." Wei Ruo knew it well.
When Wei Ruo first entered the mansion, Nanny Li was the person in charge of teaching Wei Ruo the rules. In name, she could be regarded as Wei Ruo's half teacher, and an old man who came out of the Earl's mansion. Yes, the scene is really not good.
Wei Ruo and Nanny Li were so tough that day, and when they confronted each other, they were **** for tat. According to this style of behavior, Wei Ruo kowtowed when he saw Nanny Li, not only did he not appreciate it, but he might even mock him again.
At that time, Wei Ruo will get a notoriety of making things difficult for the old lady in the mansion, so that all the servants in the mansion will have a bad impression of her as a young lady.
"Then what should I do?" Xiumei worried.
"Don't worry, look at me." Wei Ruo patted Xiumei's hand lightly.
Immediately afterwards, she walked up to Li Nanny: "Li Nanny, this is impossible!"
"If the young lady doesn't forgive the old slave today, the old slave won't be able to kneel down forever!" Nanny Li said with a sad face.
"What does Nanny Li mean by this? When did I blame you? Get up quickly, you are an old man in the mansion, and you have just suffered in the Zhuangzi, so you don't like kneeling like this!"
As Wei Ruo said, she wanted to come forward to help Nanny Li.
Nanny Li raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.
Wei Ruo in Mammy Li's memory was arrogant, vulgar and savage. She never taught her how to learn etiquette.
According to what she knew about Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo shouldn't have reacted like this!
"Miss, don't you blame me?" Nanny Li asked.
"I was arguing with Mammy that day because Mammy did something wrong. Human life is at stake. I am naturally anxious. Now that the matter is over, my second brother has recovered, and you have been punished. Why should I take my anger out on you again, unless ... Mammy, are you still planning to continue to make mistakes and continue to make things difficult for me?" Wei Ruo had a faint smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.
"No, no, the old slave has reformed and won't do it again!" Nanny Li hurriedly said.
As he spoke, he kowtowed again.
"Madam Li, what are you doing, I forgive you, why do you still kowtow?"
"The old slave feels ashamed in his heart, and is afraid that the eldest lady will not forgive me."
"I can't help it, Li Nanny, you are getting old, what if you break your body and fall at my door, what should you do? Xiumei, quickly help Li Nanny up."
"Good lady."
Xiumei strode forward.
"Li Nanny, get up." Without giving Li Nanny time to react, Xiumei put her hands under Li Nanny's arms, and directly lifted her up.
Before Nanny Li came back to her senses, she heard Wei Ruo continue to say:
"Then check her knee again for any bruises."
But how could her reaction speed be compared to Xiumei's, Xiumei touched Nanny Li's knee with lightning speed.
What the palm touched was not the hard kneecap, but a soft mass.
Xiumei understood, and with quick eyes and quick hands, she reached under Nanny Li's skirt and took off the knee pads tied around her knees.
When the knee pads appeared in front of everyone, everyone showed surprised expressions, and turned to contempt after a while.
Wei Ruo said unhurriedly: "Nurse really pays attention to her health, she came to apologize to me and didn't forget to protect her knee."
Nurse Zhang just came to talk to Wei Ruo about something, and when she came across this scene at the gate of Tingsongyuan, she couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.
Nurse Zhang led the way, and the other maids who were watching also laughed.
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Nanny Li couldn't bear the shame and indignation, she pulled the knee pad from Xiumei's hand, turned around and ran away.
Xiumei smiled and walked back to Wei Ruo's side: "Miss, how do you know she has knee pads?"
"The surface of the bluestone slabs paved on the floor here is rough and uneven. Kneeling on it would be too much for young knees, let alone Madam Li's age? She didn't come to apologize to me sincerely, so naturally she couldn't bear to let herself suffer." Wei Ruo analyzed.
"So that's the case, the young lady is smart!"
"That also requires my Meimei's sharp eyesight and quick hands!"
"So I am suitable to be by Miss's side forever!" Xiumei said with a smile.
The master and servant returned to the courtyard talking and laughing, and the rest of the onlookers also dispersed.
Nanny Li ran back to Wangmeiyuan in a hurry.
Seeing Nanny Li coming back in a panic, Wei Qingwan came up to ask about the situation worriedly: "What's wrong with you, Madam?"
"Miss, what's going on? I haven't been in the country for two months, why did the young lady's temperament change so much?" Li Nanny still can't believe it.
"This... I don't know either, I have never understood my sister."
Wei Qingwan lowered her head and murmured: "In the past, you always said that my sister was a vulgar and arrogant person, and she pretended to be decent in front of her parents and brothers. But in such a long time, I have never seen my sister. Whenever I get blamed for my vulgarity and arrogance, I often use etiquette to suppress me."
Wei Qingwan said again: "Just now, Mammy, when you said you were going to show some color to your sister, that's why I stopped Mammy."
Nanny Li frowned into the word "Chuan", and said a little annoyed: "It seems that I underestimated Wei Qingruo before! Miss, don't worry, I was careless this time. Now that I'm back, I have plenty of time to take my time." Fight her!"
"Mommy, this is not good...in case..."
"Miss, don't worry, this is all my own idea. Even if something happens later, I will be responsible for it alone, and I will never drag you down!" Nanny Li assured Wei Qingwan.
"How can this be possible? Sister, you are doing all this for me! How can I stay out of it?"
"I was punished entirely because of Wei Qingruo. I already had a grudge against her. This time, the lady begged for mercy and allowed me to return to the house a month earlier. It is a kindness to me, and I will do it according to the situation and reason. Miss you Do not persuade."
Nanny Li has made up her mind.
###
Two nights later, when everyone in the Wei Mansion was drinking tea after dinner, Wei Mingting, who hadn't been home for seven days, suddenly came back.
Wearing armor, the battle robe is still in place, the face is covered with dirt, and the hair is messy.
