On the way back, Zi'an told Yuan what happened in the mansion today.
When Yuan heard about the fire, she turned pale with fear, "Oh my God, it's a good thing you escaped."
Xiaosun also said: "Yes, fortunately God blesses us."
Zi'an and Yuan said together, "Don't believe in God's blessing."
Nanny Yang said, "Xiaosun, if it weren't for the young lady's alertness and intelligence, you would have died in the fire today."
She looked at Zi'an and said, "Miss, don't rush to fight back. If you touch Prime Minister Xia now, the government will be in chaos. After all, he is the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou. He is in charge of too many things and has too much influence."
Zi'an raised his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I still have some forbearance. I'm facing a prime minister. If I bring him down with family affairs, I can't escape responsibility. It will also be a loss of face for the prime minister, right? If a prime minister can't die in a blaze of glory, he will definitely die in a miserable way."
She was not in a hurry. Although there was murderous intent at every step, she could strip the opponent's claws and teeth with every step. She was not so stupid as to think that she could kill Xia Huaijun now.
She would not be willing to let Murong Jie take risks for him, especially since his current situation was even worse than hers.
If Prime Minister Xia were to fall, it would mean the fall of a faction, which was a matter of great importance.
But if he was destroying himself, that would be different.
He tried every possible means to kill her, even his own daughter. Especially when he knew that Xia Wan'er was not his biological daughter, he still had the heart to set such a fire. How could she let him die so easily
When they returned to the mansion, the chaos had not yet been cleaned up, but it had nothing to do with them, mother and daughter. The four of them returned to Xiazhi Garden.
When Zi'an came out after settling Yuan, he saw Xiaosun running over in a hurry, saying in panic, "Miss, Guiyuan is missing."
Zi'an then remembered that Guiyuan was still alone in Xiazhi Garden. Her face changed. She was too careless and actually forgot about Guiyuan.
She didn't think about other people, thinking that it must be the old lady who took Guiyuan away. She was about to rush out, but saw Aunt Lan Yu come in.
She looked at Zi'an proudly, "It's so late, where do you want to go, young lady?"
Zi'an stared at her, "Did you take the longan away?"
Aunt Lan Yu laughed, "Guiyuan? The servant at the gate? Yes, I took him away. The old lady ordered him to do so. Guiyuan was a servant in the mansion. The mansion was short of manpower, so he has gone to clean the front yard."
"He's injured." Zi'an said coldly.
Aunt Lan Yu smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "How can being a servant be so precious? It's just a minor injury. Aren't there many servants who have to serve you masters even if they are sick? It seems that the young lady is very considerate of the servants. If she really had such a kind heart, she wouldn't be so cruel and cruel to her grandmother and father."
"Don't talk nonsense to me. I'm going to bring the longan back. Go tell the old lady that if you have any problems, just come to me."
Nanny Yang also came up and said, "That's right, how can your old lady embarrass a servant?"
Aunt Lan Yu looked at Nanny Yang and retorted, "Oh, it's Nanny, you are an old Nanny in the palace, and you used to be in charge of the Queen's palace. You should know that Guiyuan sold himself to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that the contract has not expired, the mansion has transferred him to work. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Nanny Yang was speechless. There was indeed nothing unreasonable about this.
However, the servant is also a human being, and he should have a vacation if he is injured.
"It's the old lady who wants to see me, right?" Zi'an asked, resisting the urge to pop Aunt Lan Yu's eyes out.
Aunt Lan Yu rolled her eyes and said slowly, "The old lady wants to see the madam, but the prime minister wants to talk to you."
"Xiao Sun, please ask the lady to come out." Zi'an turned around and gave the order neatly.
Xiaosun went in and came out after a while, helping Yuan.
Aunt Lan Yu laughed proudly and looked down upon Zi'an. "Wouldn't it be better if Miss just cooperated like this? Why torment these servants? This is really not something a kind master should do. Please!"
Zi'an supported Yuan and walked to Aunt Lanyu. They stood there for a few seconds. Aunt Lanyu sneered, "Why? Miss, do you want to hit me?"
Zi'an suddenly let go of Yuan, grabbed Aunt Lanyu's neck and pushed her to the wall.
Her eyes were fierce, as if she wanted to skin Aunt Lan Yu alive, but Aunt Lan Yu was not afraid at all, and even sneered: "If you really want to be cruel, use more force. Even if I die, you can't escape. If you kill people for no reason, even if you have a strong backing, you will have to stay in jail for a few years."
Zi'an laughed sinisterly after hearing this, and let go of her neck, sweeping his nails across her cheek. "Aunt Lanyu, you are joking. Why would I kill someone? Even if I wanted to kill someone, I couldn't do it so legitimately, like Xia Quan did. He died unclearly, so as not to bring trouble upon himself."
After saying that, she circled her fingers around Aunt Lanyu's chin and scratched it with her nails, leaving a blood mark.
Aunt Lan Yu felt pain and pushed her hand away, angrily asking, "Did you kill Xia Quan?"
Zi'an stared at her, with that sinister sneer still on his lips, staring at Aunt Lan Yu so hard that she felt uneasy. "When did I ever say that I killed him? Xia Quan was clearly burned to death."
Aunt Lan Yu began to feel that she was a little scary. She really was like an evil ghost, a vengeful evil ghost.
She remembered what Cui Yu said. Cui Yu said that Xia Zian is very different now than before, and he might be possessed by an evil spirit. If that is the case, then the person standing in front of her must be an evil spirit, right
No, she didn't believe such absurd nonsense. All her prestige was just an act to scare people. Even though she had the support of the Regent, she was not the Regent Princess yet, and it was unknown whether she could become the Regent Princess in the future.
As long as she stays in this mansion, she has to abide by the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Moreover, even the current emperor cannot interfere in the family affairs of his ministers, let alone the regent.
Thinking of this, she straightened her back and said coldly: "Miss, please!"
Zi'an helped Yuan out, and Xiaosun and Nanny Yang naturally followed.
Aunt Lan Yu looked back at Nanny Yang and said, "The old lady didn't ask you to follow her. Go back and rest early, and don't meddle in other people's business."
Nanny Yang said calmly, "I will definitely take care of any trivial matters related to the eldest lady."
Aunt Lan Yu frowned, "Madam Yang, you are someone close to the Queen, and our second daughter is the future Crown Princess, so you'd better recognize your master."
Nanny Yang said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your advice. I know very well who my master is. The Queen asked me to leave the palace to serve the young lady. So, the young lady is my master now. Anyone who wants to bully the young lady is not a trivial matter to me."
"If you can't tell right from wrong, you will die sooner or later, and your death will be unclear." Aunt Lan Yu snorted and turned away.
