138 Mother, Did You Sleep With Someone Else in the Second Half of the Night?

Gu Qingxue observed Nanny Sheng’s expression.

There was no hesitation in her eyes, only loyalty.

Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes and felt relieved. “Nanny, please get up.”

“Is the Eldest Miss willing to let this old servant stay?” Nanny Sheng did not want to get up until she got an affirmative answer.

Gu Qingxue said indifferently, “I didn’t intend to drive you away from the beginning.”

Nanny Sheng frowned in confusion, “Are you trying to test me on purpose?”

“Yes. Don’t be angry. I’m doing this because I suspect that you’re the one who poisoned my grandmother.” Gu Qingxue glanced at Madam Qiao with heartache at the mention of this matter.

“How could the Old Madam be poisoned? I’m in charge of her daily life. I’ve never been negligent for a day!” Nanny Sheng said excitedly.

“Nanny Sheng, it’s not difficult to poison someone. Food, clothing, and transportation are everywhere. You can’t guard against them,” Gu Qingxue said expressionlessly.

Nanny Sheng’s face was pale, and she did not know how to respond.

“My grandmother was poisoned deeply. I don’t want to see her stay in the Gu family, which is in dire straits. I want to take her away and detoxify her,” Gu Qingxue said as she held Madam Qiao’s hand tightly.

This was also why she was eager to test Nanny Sheng.

“Then please take this old servant with you, Eldest Miss! This old servant had some savings over the years and was willing to hand them over to the Eldest Miss. I only hoped that the Eldest Miss would let this old servant see the Old Madam recover. Otherwise, this old servant wouldn’t be able to close my eyes even if I died.

Gu Qingxue stood up and went forward to help nanny Sheng up. “Don’t worry, nanny. Since you’re so loyal to my grandmother, I’ll naturally take you away with me.”

“But, the Eldest Madam is the most likely person to poison the Old Madam. She won’t allow you to take the Old Madam with you,” Nanny Sheng said.

After the Old Madam became confused, Madam Kou became the person in charge of the Gu family. She was the biggest beneficiary, so the possibility of her poisoning the old madam was the biggest!

“I already have a plan for this matter. If Madam Kou won’t allow it, I’ll find someone to speak for me,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.

Nanny Sheng wiped her tears. “Eldest Miss, are you talking about the imperial duke’s wife? Although she has a high status, this is a family matter in our Gu family. I’m afraid the imperial duke’s wife will not be able to interfere.”

“It’s just a coincidence that I saved Imperial Duke Zhan’s wife. I have no intention of using her. Nanny Sheng, don’t worry. The backer that I found is much more unreasonable than Imperial Duke Zhan’s wife. If he is willing to help me, no one will dare to say anything.” Gu Qingxue smiled confidently.

Nanny Sheng could not figure it out. was there anyone in the capital who was not to be trifled with?

“Nanny, don’t tell anyone about this. Just pretend that you don’t know anything and don’t tell anyone about this, not even your relatives,” Gu Qingxue warned.

Nanny Sheng replied solemnly, “Don’t worry, Eldest Miss. .”

Gu Qingxue nodded and pretended that nothing had happened. Together with Nanny Sheng, who had wiped away her tears, they helped the Old Madam to the dining room for dinner.

After dinner, Gu Qingxue led the three children back to their living quarters.

Cui’er had already boiled the hot water in advance. After washing up, Gu Qingxue brought the three children back to their room and lay down on the bed with them, she revealed a satisfied smile. “It’s better to sleep with you guys. You guys don’t know that last night when mother slept alone in the middle of the night, I was freezing.”

The three little children immediately hugged their mother tightly when they heard that and worked hard to be their mother’s little heater.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dumby and Lingbao did not get any clues. Only Gu Lin thought for a moment and asked in confusion, “Mother, were you sleeping with someone else in the middle of the night?”
