Chapter 1110: Chapter 1108: Harboring Murderous Intent
Wufu couldnât grow up in Changan. The implication in these words was clear to Madam Zhouâs long-time confidant, Nanny Wei, and precisely because she understood, she felt a chill.
The Madam had murder in her heart.
Nanny Wei first looked at the door, signaled to Madam Wangâs trusted maid Qing Lian to guard it, then returned to Madam Wangâs side and whispered, "What does Madam mean?" She gestured with her hand across her neck.
Madam Wangâs face was full of violent malice, and she said, "Thatâs right, only the dead can bring peace of mind."
Nanny Wei drew a breath of cool air and said, "Madam, they are just a mother and daughter with no foundation. If they do enter the house, as the legitimate mother and Matriarch, how to handle them would be entirely up to you. Why commit..." Murder!
Before she could finish those words, Madam Wang shot her a cold glance, and Nanny Wei immediately closed her mouth.
Madam Wang sighed and said, "I understand what you mean, wet nurse, but I donât want such an eyesore in front of me." She pounded her chest and said coldly, "Wet nurse, I am not at ease here."
Since she was uneasy, no one else could expect to be at ease.
Why should Zhou Meiniang earn Wu Lihongâs affection, why should it be so easy for her to enter the Wu Family, and why should she stand in her way, just the daughter of a Young Scholar, why!
Nanny Wei attempted to persuade her again, "Madam, this... they havenât even arrived yet, and itâs uncertain whether they can enter. If we make a move, what about the Master?"
She was old and increasingly believed in the cycle of karma. Over the years, assisting Madam Wang, how many shady murders had she secretly committed? Sometimes, she would be jolted awake and sleepless throughout the night.
Now she has children and grandchildren; her little grandson is clever and talented. Later, she wanted to ask Madam to help them switch to good status, so they might find a new path and not have to serve as beasts of burden anymore.
Therefore, if murder could be avoided, it should be.
Additionally, Nanny Wei believed that the mother and daughter were not worth fearing, whereas what Madam Wang was doing, although silently, if it leaked, then...
"What are you afraid of?" Madam Wang snorted coldly, "The road from Huayang to this Changan City is long, thieves abound, and even Ping An encountered some, right?"
Nanny Wei was startled.
"If they were to meet bandits and die on the road, it would just be bad luck; what does it have to do with us?" Madam Wang laughed, "As for the Master, wet nurse, do you really think heâs a man of deep affection and loyalty?"
"He wonât!" Before Nanny Wei could respond, Madam Wang already said, "If a Zhou and her daughter died, he might be sad, but I fear within a month, heâll have forgotten them completely. Iâll then buy him a lively young concubine from outside, and within a month, he wonât be sad."
Hearing this, Nanny Wei knew that she truly intended to carry out this plan, and she said, "Is Madam planning to bribe bandits or frame someone else?"
"Who knows where those bandits might come from? Naturally, arrangements have been made early!" Madam Wang said with profound meaning. So what if she had murder in her heart? Even if they entered the house and she was in control, she still wouldnât like it, she wouldnât be pleased. Whatâs the point of being in control compared to having them dead?
Itâs their fate to be blamed!
Madam Wang planned well, yet she didnât know that Ping Anâs letter didnât mention many things, like Wufu now being in Changan instead of Huayang, like Madam Zhou being pregnant, like the mother and daughter she thought had no foundation werenât actually so easily manipulated.
