Chapter 2234: Retribution
They werenât the only ones in the courtyard. People originally assigned to serve in the inn would also come to clean, run errands, and deliver food and water.
No one knew who was walking around or who had been to this courtyard. How could they investigate who it was?
The commotion outside alarmed Consort Su. She quickly sent someone to find out what was happening.
When she heard the news, she was furious. âInvestigate! Investigate immediately! This is preposterous!â
Nanny Ling had already rinsed her mouth and felt a bit better. Upon hearing Consort Suâs command, she was very touched. She hurriedly expressed her gratitude, saying, âIâll investigate this personally!â
Consort Su nodded and replied with a cold smile, âGo quickly! If you find out who did this, they will be flogged to death!â
Daring to scheme against her trusted aide was akin to slapping her in the face. If she let this matter go easily, what would happen next?
Nanny Ling was enraged. She summoned the stewardesses of the inn and instructed them to find everyone who had been to the courtyard that day.
The stewardesses were naturally reluctant. What was the matter? If they werenât informed, they wouldnât call anyone for that!
After all, everyone had work to do and didnât have much free time. Moreover, it was late at night, making it inconvenient.
Nanny Ling was reluctant to mention such an embarrassing incident. She considered claiming that her master had lost something, but before she could speak, one of the stewardesses smiled and said, âI heard you fell quite badly. Did someone sprinkle beans?â
Nanny Ling stared at her. âHow did you know?â
âI just heard people talking about it. Itâs not a secret!â
Nanny Ling couldnât hide it anymore and sneered. âThatâs right! Can you call everyone over now? You have to give me an explanation for this!â
Being teased like that and suffering a heavy fall was unbearable. Not only was it painful, but her posture had been ugly, and she couldnât tolerate it.
The stewardess who had spoken earlier smiled lightly and said indifferently, âIsnât it just an accidental fall? Nanny Ling, be more careful in the future. Itâs not a big deal. Everyone is busy and doesnât have time to argue with you. Nanny Ling, donât forget that you slapped me today and even kicked my subordinate to the ground, cutting your hand in the process. Didnât we also admit we were unlucky and didnât argue with you? Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill now that itâs your turn?â
The other two stewards echoed her sentiments.
Nanny Ling was stunned and looked at the stewardess.
The stewardess didnât avoid her gaze at all. Her eyes met Nanny Lingâs directly, and she even smiled meaningfully.
Nanny Lingâs heart skipped a beat. She seemed to understandâŠ
She had either fallen for no reason or because of the person in front of her.
Heh, she was holding a grudge.
She had hit someone in the afternoon, and she had fallen at nightâŠ
Anger rose in Nanny Lingâs heart, and she stared at the stewardess with hatred.
The stewardess smiled slightly, as if she could tell that Nanny Ling already understood what was going on, but she was not afraid at all. Her expression clearly said that Nanny Ling could try again if she dared.
If Nanny Ling had the ability to make a move, she shouldnât blame others for taking revenge.
This was the city of Huaixi province!
Nanny Ling smiled stiffly and slowly said, âHeh, youâre right. This is indeed not a big deal. Tell everyone to be careful in the future. Otherwise, it wonât be fun if they fall.â
