She secretly gave a look to a servant outside the window. That servant understood and quickly left for the Eldest Mistress's courtyard. Unfortunately, Zhang shi was secretly discussing something with her daughter. The servant maids guarding the door outside did not dare to go in without permission.
This delay gave Liu Weirong time.
Old Master Liu took a sip of tea and nodded in satisfaction.""Not bad!"
However, he was surprised in his heart. His big hand rubbed the teacup. It seemed that Zhang shi had hidden a lot of things from him.
Liu Weirong lowered her head, her face blushing." It's all a daughter's own idea to brew tea. It doesn't deserve father's praise!"”He discreetly gave First Madam Zhang Shi a taste of her own medicine.
Hearing this, Old Master Liu was even more satisfied.
The idea of having both daughters enter the palace arose in his heart, but it was just a thought. Since the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was extremely rare for sisters to enter the palace at the same time.
It wasn't that there weren't any? Old Master Liu looked at his third daughter in front of him and thought with ambition.
"There are still ten days before the selection. Father has specially invited a granny who has just left the palace. In these ten days, you and Xiangya will learn from this granny Gao!”Old Master Liu pointed at the unfamiliar nanny standing at the side and said with a smile.
"Ah?" Liu Weirong opened her mouth in surprise, but she quickly regained her senses. Her beautiful face unconsciously revealed a happy expression. She was very playful and cute. She politely greeted Nanny Gao with a smile,"Wei Rong greets Granny Gao! Please give me your guidance in the next ten days!”
It was really a pleasant surprise. A nanny from the palace. She looked to be in her thirties. She probably took good care of herself and had to learn from her.
"Third Miss greets you!" Granny Gao nodded, her expression much friendlier.
She had returned to the Liu residence because Old Master Liu had spent a large sum of money to invite her. He only told her to carefully teach the Eldest Miss Liu the palace rules, etiquette, and some secrets within ten days. As for this Third Miss, he did not mention much.
When she came in, she had already carefully observed this Third Miss and found that she was also a talented person. She was a little scheming, but she was not a deep person. She did not have any conflict with what Old Master Liu said.
Xiao Cui was shocked. Not only her, but the old woman was also dumbfounded. She was anxious to death. What did Old Master mean by this? Could it be that he wanted Third Miss to enter the palace? What about the young miss?
Why aren't Madam and Young Miss here yet?
The other servant girls were secretly shocked. It seemed that this Third Miss had caught Old Master's eye. Eldest Young Miss was very outstanding, but this Third Young Miss was not bad either. As for who could enter the palace, it was still uncertain now, right?
One or two servant girls began to think.
Liu Weirong also saw the expressions of the maids and old women. While Old Master Liu's impression of her changed, she felt that it was better to get to the main topic as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Liu Xiangya returned or the Eldest Madam arrived, it would be impossible to talk about it.
With this thought in mind, he naturally had to chase after Liu Xiangya. He pointed at Liu Xiangya's bookshelf full of books and said with a hint of envy,"" Father, I see that sister has a lot of books here. She has music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She must be a talented woman. I'm not young anymore, but I don't have much chance to learn. I only learned from a literate nanny who has returned to her hometown for more than a year. I don't know many words either. Now that the election is coming up, I'm afraid I won't have a chance even if I get selected…"
His tone was filled with disappointment and frustration.
After the election, regardless of whether or not they were chosen to enter the palace, they would be married. It was true that there was no chance.
As soon as these words came out, the servant maids in the room changed their expressions slightly. This was an eyesore for Eldest Madam.
As for Old Master Liu's personal servant, he was surprised. As for Granny Gao, she was used to the fights in the palace and had long been indifferent.
Liu Weirong sneered to herself. What she said was not a lie. This Zhang shi really did it.
Old Master Liu saw that the envy and disappointment on her face did not seem to be fake. He could not help but remember that Zhang shi told him that Wei Rong did not like reading and needlework. She had played truant time and time again. She did not listen to him a few times and was unwilling to meet strangers.
After hearing so much, he had given up on this timid daughter who did not seek progress. Now it seemed that Zhang shi wanted to destroy this daughter.
He closed his eyes and a thin layer of anger appeared on his face.
When he thought of his daughter's inexplicable drowning two days ago, how could he not understand? His trust in Zhang shi plummeted, almost to the freezing point.
"It's rare for you to have such thoughts. How about this? In these ten days, in addition to learning from Granny Gao, father will find a female teacher for you.”
"Also, your courtyard is too remote, so you don't have to stay there. Zhao Quan, get someone to clean up Lanfang Garden later and let Third Miss stay there!”
Lanfang Garden was the neighboring courtyard of Liu Xiangya's courtyard.
" Father, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already told Big Sister that I'll be staying with Big Sister for the next ten days…" Liu Weirong looked like she wanted to say something, but then she shook her head and refused. What a joke. It was too dangerous to live alone in a courtyard.
When Old Master Liu saw her rejection, he was unhappy at first, then his eyes narrowed. It seemed that this daughter was not simple.
After chatting with Liu Weirong for a while, he made an excuse to tell her that he had something to say. He asked the servant girls to take Nanny Gao to settle down. He also dismissed all the servant girls and old women and asked Zhao Quan to guard the door.
After everyone left, only the father and daughter were left in the room.
"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?”
" Father, I want you to take Xiao Cui away from my side…" Liu Weirong lowered her head and pleaded softly.
"The reason!"
Liu Weirong gritted her teeth and told him that Xiao Cui wanted to kill her. She also told him that she had overheard the Eldest Madam wanting to marry her off to a man who was dying of a " dirty disease " after she failed the election. She also insinuated that the reason why she drowned was related to the Eldest Madam and why she wanted to stay with Liu Xiangya. Finally, she told Old Master Liu about the cold poison.
After Old Master Liu heard this, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He was so angry that he swept the teacup on the table. With a crisp bang, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
"Is what you said true?"
" I'm not lying at all. Father, please investigate. At first, I didn't know that there was a problem with my daily meals. However, the nanny Qian who secretly taught me was once a nanny in the palace and was proficient in some medical skills. She concealed her identity and became a rough servant in the residence. Because she hit it off with me, she secretly taught me…"
" Two years ago, when my daughter was…on her period, she had an unbearable stomachache. Granny Qian noticed that something was wrong and took my daughter's pulse. Only then did she know that my daughter had been poisoned by the cold poison. Her condition was already very serious. Fortunately, she could still be saved. In addition, Granny Qian had a secret recipe. She secretly took medicine for nearly a year before the cold poison in her body was removed…"
"Father, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to find Granny Qian, who has already left the residence, to verify that everything your daughter said is true!”
Liu Weirong's face was covered in tears as she spoke. Some were for herself, and some were for the original owner of this body.
Old Master Liu was now trembling with anger. He believed 90% of Liu Wei Rong's words. His heart was cold to Zhang shi's viciousness, and he felt even more guilty towards his daughter. He went forward to hold his daughter in his arms and stroked her head lovingly.
"It's all because of my incompetence that my son has suffered!”
"Father!"
"Don't worry, I will take care of Xiao Cui, the girl who helped the wicked. I will give you a reliable girl again.”
"You can live with Xiangya now. You just have to do your best in the selection ten days later. It will be good if you can be selected into the palace. If you fail, I will definitely find you a good marriage.”
As for Zhang shi, if it weren't for his two Di sons who were studying in the Academy and his smart eldest daughter, he would have divorced this vicious woman.
"Thank you, Father!"
She was already very satisfied to be able to get rid of Xiao Cui, this scourge. As for Zhang shi, she did not think that her father would divorce that woman for her, the daughter of his wife.
After chatting with Old Master Liu for a while, he heard Zhao Quan's voice coming from outside.
It was Lady Wang and Liu Xiangya.
