The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Fuyue was already extremely scared when she heard Hua Wu Ke pointing directly at her own yard.

Seeing his mother glaring at him again, he hurriedly walked to Hua Wu Ke, pulled her sleeve and smiled apologetically:

"I was just panicking and running around. Please forgive me this time, dear sister. I will be more careful next time."

Hua Wu Ke pulled out his sleeves without leaving a trace:

"Second sister, be careful with your words. It's better not to have this kind of thing happen again."

Looking at the sleeve slipping through her hands, Hua Fuyue felt angry.

With a gloomy face, he returned to sit next to his mother.

After the test, Sun Ruhui didn't want to waste any more time sitting here drinking tea with Hua Wuke.

"Miss Third's injury hasn't healed yet, so you still need to rest more. Yue'er and I will be leaving first, and we'll come see you next time."

After saying that, he took Hua Fuyue back to Jinghua Hall.

After Sun Ruhui left, Qingmei couldn't help but ask her mistress:

"Since Miss suspected the Second Madam, why did she say those words to alert the enemy?"

Hua Wu Ke replied calmly: "If we alarm them, they will panic and reveal their true colors."

-

As soon as Sun Ruhui entered the room, she called Nanny Guixiang and dismissed the other servants.

The original plan was to pay a deposit first and then pay the rest of the money after the deal was done.

If you fail, the remaining money will not be given to you.

But because Ye Buhuo arrived at the last moment, he rescued Hua Wuke and killed too many bandits.

The bandit leader was not happy and said that he would stay in the capital unless Sun Ruhui gave him money.

This group of people were death row prisoners who were on the run. Sun Ruhui knew that they dared not show up or come to the general's mansion to inform on others.

I thought that if I ignored them, they would eventually leave.

But she always felt that Hua Wu Ke's behavior today was strange, and she was afraid that the old lady would find out that this matter was related to her and tell Hua Jingqian.

He quickly instructed Nanny Guixiang to give the remaining money to the killer and take back her token.

Hua Fuyue was still angry because Hua Wuke had repeatedly humiliated her. When she saw her mother was going to send the assassins away, she immediately refused to do so:

"Mother, have you just given up? How can I be the Crown Princess if Hua Wu Ke is still alive?"

"Shut up!"

Hearing her daughter thinking so rashly, Sun Ruhui couldn't help but scold her:

"Do you think Hua Wu Ke is so easy to kill?"

She and her husband had been discrediting Ye Buhuo in front of Hua Wuke for a long time, and finally instigated Hua Wuke to personally propose to Ye Buhuo to cancel the engagement.

Although the head of the family had not agreed yet, Ye Buhuo did not return the token.

But Sun Ruhui thought that Ye Buhuo was a prince, and being treated like this by a woman, he would definitely not be kind to Hua Wuke.

That's why she dared to attack Hua Wuke.

Unexpectedly, Ye Buhuo finally arrived at the critical moment.

The guards of the Hua family army were already difficult to deal with, and with the addition of Ye Buhuo, Sun Ruhui couldn't help but have a headache.

Seeing her daughter's aggrieved look, Sun Ruhui couldn't bear it and felt distressed:

"Don't worry, mother will definitely fight for you to be the Crown Princess."

After dinner, Hua Wu Ke drank the medicine with Qing Lan's help.

Just as he put the bowl down, Qingmei came in and reported to Hua Wuke:

"Madame Li is back."

As soon as Qingmei finished speaking, Nanny Li came in:

"Oh~, my third lady, you finally woke up. I was so worried about you."

Nanny Li is the managing nanny of the first house. In her previous life, she was the person Hua Wu Ke trusted most in the first house besides her childhood sweetheart Qinglan.

Unfortunately, Nanny Li had already been won over by the Second House, and her "contribution" to her marriage to the Crown Prince was in no small part due to her.

Hua Wu Ke sat on the couch, glanced coldly at the old woman in front of him, and asked, "Where did you go, Ma?"

When Hua Wu Ke was injured and sent back to the mansion by Ye Buhuo that day, it was Nanny Li who took him over from Ye Buhuo.

At that time, when they saw that Hua Wu Ke's clothes were covered in blood and she was breathing out more than she was breathing in, they thought that the third young lady would not survive.

Since the master and the young master are not around, as the housekeeper, I will be the person with the most say in the eldest house.

These days I have been busy getting closer to Sun Ruhui, so how could I care about the dying Third Miss?

But she must not know about this, Li Ma thought to herself.

Then he thought of his newly born grandson and said to Hua Wuke with an apologetic smile:

"Didn't my Zhuzi get married last year? And a few days ago, he gave birth to a big fat boy!

As a grandmother, I really can't help but go home to see the child. It's my fault for not serving the Third Young Miss well. I will accept any punishment the Third Young Miss gives me!"

Nanny Li knew best how easy it was to fool Hua Wu Ke.

Admit your mistake first, and then say that you were away for the past few days because you went home to see your children. The third young lady will definitely forgive you.

Nanny Li folded her hands in front of her chest, bent over, and looked terrified and accepting the punishment.

But I am fearless in my heart.

I'm sure Miss San wouldn't blame a grandmother who went home to see her children.

Having a grandson? This is a good excuse to take away Li Ma's management power.

Hua Wu Ke thought to himself and said calmly:

"It's fine for grandma to go home to see her grandson, but Mammy is the housekeeper of my eldest house after all. She should set an example and follow the rules of being a servant.

You disappeared for so many days without saying hello this time, and I can’t convince everyone if I don’t punish you.”

Nanny Li knew that the Third Young Lady would not let her go just like that, so she bent even lower:

"Miss Third is right. This old slave deserves to be punished."

"Then I'll fine you half a year's wages."

The words were addressed to Nanny Li, but her eyes were directed towards Qinglan.

Qinglan immediately understood what the young lady meant and said:

"Mammy, there's a new baby in the family. There will be a lot of expenses in the future. I think it's better not to fine her."

Nanny Li was still feeling bad about half a month's wages.

After hearing Qinglan's words, he didn't care why this person who usually didn't get along with him suddenly spoke up for him, and hurriedly agreed:

"Yes, my wife is very weak, and the child is also weak. The doctor told us to take good care of her."

As he spoke, he pinched his sleeve with his fingers to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"How can you, as a grandmother, feel at ease? You have to go home more often to see your children."

The story about the child being weak was just a random fabrication. When I was in charge, I secretly got a lot of good things. My wife was well nourished during her pregnancy, and she gave birth to a healthy, fat boy.

But in the future, I will inevitably have to leave Jiaming Hall and go to Jinghua Hall to show my courtesy from time to time.

Nanny Li thought for a moment:

"Miss San is right. As a grandmother, I think about my poor grandson even when I go to sleep."

After hearing these words, Hua Wu Ke felt satisfied.

He didn't show it on his face, pretending to be distressed and said:

"Grandma is so worried about her grandson. If I keep her tied up in Jiaming Hall all the time, it would seem inhumane.

But you are the housekeeper after all, what should I do if you are not here?"

After a pause, he continued:

"Why don't you let Qinglan take over from you? Nanny will help Qinglan out in the future, and you can have more energy to take care of your grandson."

"what!"

I thought I could use this as an excuse for my frequent absence from Jiaming Hall so that I could get closer to the Second Lady.

Who knew that the third young lady would actually take away the management power.

Nanny Li was panicked. The second room was not as important as her own management rights.

Besides, the Second Madam only paid attention to me because I was the housekeeper of the main room.

This power of management cannot be handed over.

"Qinglan is the young lady's personal maid and she is still young, how can she be in charge?

Although my grandson is weak, he still has his parents by his side, so it is better for me to continue to share the young lady's worries."

Hua Wu Ke took a sip of tea and remained unmoved:

"I still have Qingmei by my side. Nanny is old, and sooner or later Qinglan will be in charge of the first house. Since the little baby is weak, it is better for grandma to take good care of him."

Just now, in order to keep the six months' salary, I described my grandson as weak. If I refute it now, wouldn't it be obvious that I just lied?

If a servant tells a lie, the master has the right to deal with him at will.

Nanny Li regretted her decision to death, but she was powerless to do anything. She responded unwillingly:

"Listen to the Third Miss's arrangements."
