The woodshed was in the most remote corner. Qu Moying took advantage of the night and asked Yuchun to bring some snacks and carry a lantern to the woodshed.
Nanny Miao, who followed her into the mansion, was imprisoned there.
Just yesterday, Yu locked up Nanny Miao on the grounds that she had offended her.
This Nanny Miao was actually not a servant in the mansion. She was a maid rescued by Qu Moying in the farm a few years ago. At that time, Nanny Miao fainted from hunger at the gate of the farm. It was she who asked the head of the farm to rescue her, and gave her money and food to let her leave.
After waking up, Nanny Miao was grateful and said that she was alone to begin with, so she stayed to serve Qu Moying.
He served Qu Moying for several years, devoted himself to him and was the most useful person around Qu Moying.
Unexpectedly, he was detained by Yu for no reason just after returning this time. He originally wanted to ask the lady for help tomorrow, but Qu Moying couldn't wait any longer.
The wooden door was locked and there was no one at the door.
"Madam Miao, are you in there?" Qu Moying walked to the door and asked in a low voice.
"Yes... Fourth Miss? I'm here!" A low voice of Nanny Miao came from inside, sounding listless. Given Yu's personality, she must have kept Nanny Miao hungry and would not let anyone bring her food.
"Madame Miao, I'm here to save you!" Qu Moying stepped forward. The door was not locked, only half hanging with the door knocker. She reached out to put down the door knocker, pulled out the padlock on it, and pushed the door open.
Yuchun came forward holding a lantern.
"Fourth Miss!" Nanny Miao came out. She had been hungry for a day and looked listless. But when she saw Qu Moying, she smiled kindly and concernedly on her thin face: "Fourth Miss, come here. Do the Madam and the Second Madam know?"
"No... I don't know." Yu Chun was a little timid and subconsciously looked at Qu Moying, but saw that Qu Moying looked calm. Inexplicably, she was no longer panicked and calmed down.
"Madame Miao, have some cakes first!" Qu Moying asked Yuchun to bring over a small food basket and hand it to Madame Miao.
Given Yu's personality, how could she give food to Nanny Miao
Aunt Miao was really hungry. She picked up a piece of cake and ate it in two or three bites. After she finished, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and asked anxiously, "Fourth Miss, has something happened?"
She was locked inside,
The location was not facing the yard where Qu Moying lived before, so he really didn't know that Qu Moying's house was on fire.
"The maidservant beside the third young lady wanted to burn the fourth young lady to death." Yu Chun said angrily.
"Fourth Miss, I told you to be careful of the Second Madam and her daughter before I entered the mansion. Are you hurt?" Nanny Miao asked anxiously, reaching out her hand to feel Qu Moying's pulse.
Who could have thought that an old woman who was almost starved to death actually came from a tribe in Northern Qi, had excellent medical skills, and was also proficient in identifying medicinal herbs and using secret methods to prepare medicinal powders for different purposes. Qu Moying had poor eyesight, but an excellent sense of smell and an even stronger ability to identify medicinal herbs. Even Aunt Miao did not expect Qu Moying to learn so well.
"Madam, don't worry. I'm fine. The whole family of the maid who harmed me will be sold out!" Qu Moying shook her head. "Madam, come with me."
"Where are you going, young lady?" Nanny Miao asked puzzledly.
"Go see grandma and tell her that you didn't offend Yu Clan and that Yu Clan's people deliberately wronged you!" Qu Moying analyzed calmly, "Grandma might not believe this before, but she will definitely believe it now."
He did not hold on to the matter of Qinghe, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that if there was no one behind the scenes instructing her, how could a maid be so bold as to frame her master and even want to burn her to death
The person that the old lady suspected the most should be Yu. Although the matter was not investigated further, the old lady must have felt a thorn in her heart.
When the time is right, the thorn could be fatal.
We can also take advantage of this incident and ask the lady to release Nanny Miao, and lure Yu and her daughter Qu Qiuyan over.
The mother and daughter couldn't tolerate her and wanted her life, so she first set up a trap...
"Miss, the Second Madam will not admit it." Nanny Miao said worriedly. She was not afraid of being locked up, but she was afraid that the young lady would be implicated.
"She will agree to let you go, and will also let Qu Qiuyan explain the maid's fire!" Qu Moying's eyes were dark, and she raised a white and tender hand and shook it, then walked out slowly, saying meaningfully, "Madam Qu, I used the medicine powder you prepared for me last time!"
"Miss is using it now?" Nanny Miao was surprised.
Nanny Miao thought that with the young lady's personality, she would never use it, and she was thinking about how to persuade her, which could also be a means of self-protection.
Mixing several kinds of medicinal powders together is not only useful for curing diseases, the tribes of Northern Qi have their own methods that are different from those in the Central Plains!
"They want my life, so let's fight to the death! Now is a good time!" Qu Moying said lightly, his slender figure exuding an eerie coldness in the night.
"Young lady is right!" Nanny Miao nodded repeatedly. It was indeed true. She had advised her in the same way when she was preparing the medicinal powders, but the young lady did not listen at that time. Fortunately, the young lady has come to her senses now.
It seems that this fire really woke the young lady up, which is good, really good.
The master and servants walked forward, and no one noticed that in the shadows of the corridor, there was a tall figure standing there, looking at the master and servants from afar. His eyes narrowed with hostility, and a trace of noble coldness flashed across them.
Although the woman's face was tied under a veil, she did not look blind and could walk without anyone's support. As for her appearance, although only a little bit could be seen, one could sense that she was extremely beautiful and not the ugly woman as rumored.
Not only did he kick people without hesitation, but he also behaved ruthlessly and decisively. It looked like he would kill people or set fire to them without blinking an eye.
Totally qualifies!
"Master, the Prince's Mansion is on fire!" The guard suddenly pointed at a patch of red in the east sky.
This large area of red is not the small scale of the Qu Shilang Mansion just now...
The matter of Nanny Miao was not a big deal. The old lady was becoming more and more disgusted with Yu. The one behind Qinghe was either Yu or Qu Qiuyan. Although Qinghe was Qu Qiuyan's maid, the old lady believed that it was Yu who was behind it.
He immediately agreed to release Nanny Miao.
“Madam… there’s a fire… there’s a fire…” a maid ran in hurriedly, reporting stutteringly.
"Where is the fire again? Go and call Yu over. How does she manage the household?" Things happened one after another. The lady was furious. She slammed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, thinking that the fire was in her own house again.
The old woman wanted to explain something, but she saw Nanny Wu behind the lady winking at her. She didn't dare to say anything more and retreated quickly.
Qu Moying curled the corners of his lips silently. He had originally wanted to use the matter of Nanny Miao to ask the lady to call them over. This time it happened by chance, and he saved himself a lot of trouble.
