“My family doesn’t keep treacherous people. Even if you turn into a ghost and seek revenge on me, I won’t be afraid. I might even have to fight you again.” Her words were even colder than her smile. “It’s not that I betrayed you, but you betrayed me.”

“I feel sorry about your son and grandson. Second Aunt has always been ruthless. Nanny might reunite with them soon.”

“No…” Nanny Gui’s body trembled. Tears and snot were flowing down her face, and she was crying pitifully.” Please, save them…”

“I’ve already said that I won’t go out of my way to help a servant who betrayed me.” Shen Miao’s words were cruel and cold. “Stand by and do nothing is all I can do.”

She slowly leaned forward, whispering to Nanny Gui the way she did when she was young. She said indifferently, “I came to see you for the last time because you brought me up.”

“Nanny Gui, have a safe journey.”

Nanny Gui was about to say something when she saw Shen Miao stand up and put on her cloak again. The corners of the cloak floated in the darkness. The moment the door was closed, everything fell into darkness again. Despair surged from all directions.

Outside, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Miao come out.

After they left, a woman appeared in the flowers. She looked at Shen Miao’s back and then at the tightly shut door of the woodshed, looking angry.

After a few days of autumn rain, the sky finally cleared up.

Everything in the General’s Mansion seemed to have returned to normal, but the medicinal fragrance coming from the east courtyard from time to time reminded people of the turmoil that happened in the Shen family a few days ago.

Shen Qing seemed to be gradually regaining her senses. At least, she was not as crazy as before. However, Ren Wanyun was afraid that Shen Qing would lose her mind again, so she locked her up in the Rosy Cloud Garden and did not allow her to come out. She was even more afraid that Shen Qing would commit suicide, so she was guarding her at all times. In this way, all the matters in the mansion were handed over to Chen Ruoqiu. Ren Wanyun rarely left the courtyard, which gave Shen Miao a few days of peace.

However, this did not mean that nothing happened. A few days later, Nanny Gui was finally executed. The charge was that she secretly colluded with people to harm Shen Qing.

According to the law of the mansion, Nanny Gui was to be flogged to death. Generally speaking, servants who committed crimes were to be executed, and those who committed more serious crimes were to be flogged to death. For ordinary crimes, a bottle of lethal drugs was enough. In short, no one cared if they were dead or alive.

However, Nanny Gui died a miserable death. Her limbs seemed to have been broken by someone. Not an inch of her bones were intact. She was bleeding from her seven orifices and looked extremely terrifying. Even the servant who was carrying the corpse did not dare to look at the corpse, but Ren Wanyun still asked Shen Miao to collect the corpse.

The maid sent by Ren Wanyun, Xianglan, came over and said, “Madam said that although Nanny Gui made a mistake and was executed, she is still Fifth Miss’s servant. Therefore, Fifth Miss has to go and take the corpse to the west courtyard.”
