151 Let Him Take the Initiative to Apologize

“They don’t have a chance, but it doesn’t mean that other people don’t have a chance either. Nanny Sheng, since you’ve decided to follow my grandmother, you must follow me. I have to remind you. Don’t trust anyone. One could make great progress in a short time and should be looked at with new eyes. For the sake of Grandmother’s safety, you and I must be careful,” Gu Qingxue warned.

Nanny Sheng nodded solemnly.

Gu Qingxue then let go of Nanny Sheng’s hand.

Nanny Sheng suddenly laughed out loud, as if she had thought of something.

“What are you laughing at, nanny?” Gu Qingxue did not understand.

Nanny Sheng’s gaze was gentle, she looked at Gu Qingxue and said with a smile, “What Eldest Miss said just now was actually appropriate for you. This old servant didn’t expect that the Eldest Miss would come back after being married for a few years and that there would be such a big change.”

Gu Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat. She said with a helpless smile on her face, “I have no choice but to live my life.”

Nanny Sheng’s smile immediately disappeared. She thought of Gu Qingxue’s experience and could not help but feel sorry for her. “Fortunately, god wouldn’t down those who had a heart. Now that you are so skilled in medicine, you don’t have to make a living in the future.”

“Actually, I still have something to discuss with you,” Gu Qingxue said after a moment of hesitation. “Today, the imperial duke’s wife proposed that I be her adopted daughter.”

Nanny Sheng was pleasantly surprised. “This is a great thing! Did the Eldest Miss agree to it?”

“No. Imperial Duke Zhan is suspicious of me. However, in my opinion, the imperial duke’s wife won’t give up so easily. I’m a bit conflicted, and I’m worried that grandmother will be unhappy after she recovers,” Gu Qingxue said, she looked at Madam Qi, who was sitting on the soft couch in a daze.

“Eldest Miss, you worry too much. As long as you aren’t mistreated, the Old Madam will definitely not mind. Moreover, it is useless for Imperial Duke Zhan to be suspicious of you. The wife of the imperial duke has always been in charge of their manor. If the imperial duke’s wife treats you sincerely, please agree. This old servant can see that you also like the imperial duke’s wife very much,” Nanny Sheng advised.

Nanny Sheng’s words dispelled the last bit of Gu Qingxue’s misgivings.

She did not agree today partly because she was worried that her grandmother would be unhappy about this matter in the future.

After Nanny Sheng’s explanation, she realized that she was thinking too much.

“I do like the imperial duke’s wife very much, but Imperial Duke Zhan doesn’t trust me. I can’t just ignore it,” Gu Qingxue said with a wicked smile.

Nanny Sheng saw Gu Qingxue’s expression, and her heart began to pound. “Eldest Miss, that’s Imperial Duke Zhan. You can’t act recklessly.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be rough. I have my own ways to make him take the initiative to apologize for what happened today.” Gu Qingxue smiled confidently, then got up and left.

At night, the light snow sprinkled down, quickly coating the entire capital with a layer of silvery white.

In the Fengkang Palace where the empress dowager lived…

The braziers in the great hall were burning vigorously, and the charcoal fire emitted crackling sounds. The entire great hall was as warm as spring.

In front of the dining table, the empress dowager had a smile on her face as she looked lovingly at Rong Zhan. “Zhan’er, when you are free, bring Han’er into the palace. That child is obedient and sensible. I like him very much.”

“Han’er has been feeling unwell recently. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to enter the palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager for a while.”Rong Zhan brought up Rong Han, and a trace of concern appeared in his eyes.

The empress dowager said in surprise, “Why is his sickness acting up again? When Young Master Meng came to the palace to check my pulse, I specially asked about him. At that time, Young Master Meng even said that Han’er was fine.”
