The girl looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but she did not have the freshness and youthfulness that a seventeen or eighteen year old girl should have. Her skin was dark yellow and gray, and her eyes were slightly drooped, revealing her swollen eyelids and obvious bags under her eyes.
With such beauty, even the maids in the mansion are three times more beautiful than her. Who would believe that she is the third lady of the Nalan Mansion
A surge of intense joy surged in Mrs. Nalan's heart. She thought that if that woman knew about this in the afterlife, she would not know how painful it would be to see her daughter in such a miserable and humble state.
But Madam Nalan immediately showed a distressed expression on her face. She even condescended to wave her hand and asked the girl to come closer to her. She looked at her carefully for a long time before sighing, "Are you Hexi? Poor child, why do you look so thin?"
As he spoke, he swept his sharp eyes over Wang Zhong who came in from behind, "Manager Wang, what did I tell you? Although the Third Miss was driven to the other courtyard by the master, she is still a lady in the mansion after all, and all her food, clothing and expenses must be in accordance with the standards of a lady. But look at how thin He Xi has become now, have you sent someone to take good care of the Third Miss?"
The scolded Wang Zhong lowered his head in fear and said, "Madam, you really wronged me. We always send the best ingredients to the villa, and we have never been short of crystal stones and silver. It's just..."
Madam Nalan raised her eyebrows, "Just what? Why don't you tell me?"
"However, I went to the other courtyard this time and saw it myself. I found out that the servants in the other courtyard were very rude. Not only did they not take good care of the Third Miss, they also deceived their superiors and subordinates and withheld a lot of food, clothing and other expenses. This is why the Third Miss fell into such a miserable state."
As he spoke, he glanced at Nanny Chen with a hidden gaze.
Madam Nalan's eyes flashed, and her gaze fell on Nanny Chen behind Hexi. She suddenly shouted, "You audacious old servant, why don't you kneel down!"
Nanny Chen was so frightened by this shout that her whole body trembled and her face was full of fear.
Soon two servants came up and held her down on the left and right, forcing her to kneel on the ground with a thud.
Madam Nalan raised her lips slightly, but quickly put them away. She said in a tone of deep sorrow and disgust, "Madam Chen, you harmed my Xuan'er back then, so I only had your cultivation abolished and sent you to another courtyard, so that you could atone for your sins and serve the Third Miss well. But you didn't change your bad habits and didn't take good care of the Third Miss at all."
"I could tolerate you at first, but this time, for my poor Hexi, I will never forgive you. Come, drag this cunning slave away and beat him with a hundred sticks, regardless of life or death!"
Nanny Chen is now just a mortal without spiritual power. If she is beaten with a hundred sticks, her life will be in danger.
"Yes!" The two servants who were escorting Nanny Chen answered loudly and were about to drag her away.
Nanny Chen suddenly came to her senses and struggled violently, "Madam, I didn't do that. I didn't harm Young Master Xuan, and I didn't betray Miss. You can't slander me!"
Wang Zhong snorted coldly, "When I went to the other courtyard, I saw with my own eyes that you were bossing around Miss Third and you didn't take Miss Third seriously at all. Now that you are in front of Madam, you still dare to lie! Why don't you drag him away now!"
Nanny Chen struggled and shouted desperately, but she was no match for the two servants, and despair gradually appeared in her eyes. (To be continued)
