Shen Miao got out of school and returned to Shen's house when the sky was a little late.

  Shen Yue and Shen Qing still didn't accompany her, and Shen Miao was too lazy to bother with them. Old Lady Shen had already rested, so she went back to the West Wing by herself.

  As soon as she walked to the west wing, a somewhat warm and enthusiastic voice came: "Miss is back, I heard that Miss fell into the water and was worried sick, now seeing Miss is fine, my heart can finally put down the stone."

  As she turned her head, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked towards this side. The woman was slightly plump with dark skin and wore a cyan-colored jacket made of good material. On her wrist was a heavy silver bangle, and her eyes were full of smiles.

  "Ah, Granny Gu." Shen Miao replied calmly.

  The woman seemed to think she had done nothing wrong and went on to say, "I originally wanted to come earlier, but unfortunately my child has been ill all along and I've been busy taking care of her. I really couldn't do anything else, so I left my child with her mother and came back to the mansion first. Now that I see you're doing well, I can finally feel at ease."

  This remark was a clever way of saying that Shen Miao was more important to her than her own grandson. If it were any other time, Shen Miao would have been deeply moved by these words and then spoken some comforting words, handing over some silver coins to Gui Yatou to take back for her grandson's medical treatment.

  But reborn again, looking at the woman in front of her, Shen Miao almost wanted to mock herself in her heart, how could she have been blind enough to think that such a person was a loyal servant?

  Mrs. Shen gave birth to Shen Miao not long after, and Shen Xin took the order to go on an expedition. Shen Miao was still young and couldn't bear the hardships of traveling by boat or carriage, so Mrs. Shen had no choice but to leave her behind in the Shen mansion with a heavy heart. Old Mrs. Shen hired a wet nurse for her, who is now known as Gui Yatou. Gui Yatou was born into a farming family in the countryside, and at first, Mrs. Shen thought she was diligent and honest. Later, seeing that Gui Yatou took good care of Shen Miao, she felt more at ease leaving her by Shen Miao's side as a nanny.

  But in this world, people will change.

  The West Wing of the Shen Mansion was originally sparsely populated, with the two houses in the East Wing and Old Lady Shen holding power. Originally, Gui's nanny was still honest and accompanied Shen Miao, but as time went on, she saw through the situation and unhesitatingly defected to the East Wing and Old Lady Shen. Gui's nanny had a flattering personality, and when she had made up her mind to marry Fu Xiu Yi, she also played a role in stirring up trouble.

  However, the most hateful thing is that when Old Lady Shen brought her niece from afar to rely on the Shen family, that niece was taken advantage of by Eldest Brother Shen, and insisted that Eldest Brother take responsibility, eventually becoming his sister-in-law, making a mess of Eldest Brother's backyard. And that niece who was insulted by Shen Que was precisely the person witnessed by Gui Momo.

  Now thinking back, it was really a clumsy plot.

  Once unfaithful, a hundred times useless. Moreover, someone like Guan Yiyang, even if she's unfaithful a hundred times, she'll naturally have to be well taken care of. A dog that runs out like this is better off being killed than kept.

  Madam Gui waited for a long time but didn't hear Shen Miao's reward, the benevolent expression on her face was slightly stiff for a moment. She couldn't help but look up at Shen Miao, only to see Shen Miao looking at her lightly, without any special emotions.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, she felt a twinge of guilt.

  The next moment, Shen Miao replied indifferently, "Oh, that's really hard work for the nanny."

  Valley Rain hummed softly, casting a somewhat mocking glance at Gui Ya. She had always looked down on Gui Ya's fawning and sycophantic behavior, relying on her status as the young lady's wet nurse to bully others in the western courtyard. Ironically, their own young lady had been deceived by Gui Ya's flattery in the past, believing many of her slanderous rumors, which resulted in a rift between her and the original servants of the western courtyard.

  It's all good now, the young lady seems to have woken up from her fall into the water and has become much clearer about many things. At present, she is treating Gui with an attitude that is neither hot nor cold, which greatly comforts Yu Ru in her heart.

  The old woman smiled and said, "I advise you, miss, not to be too sad, take care of yourself. You are a lovely girl, the young master must like you, one day..." She usually knew how to say pleasant things, and would often pick out words that Shen Miao liked to hear, which could always win her favor. But today, as soon as she spoke, Shen Miao's expression changed.

  "You're speaking like this, are you trying to tarnish my reputation?" Shen Miao said coldly: "Although Father and Mother are no longer in the General's Manor, I am also the legitimate young lady of the General's Manor, and the mistress of the West Wing. Even at home, one must still be mindful of their reputation, and yet you're speaking like this, aren't you intentionally trying to throw me into a pit of fire?"

  Gui's mother was taken aback and subconsciously said: "How can you say that, young lady? I'm also doing this for your own good..."

  "Is that to say it's my fault?" Shen Miao sneered, "Fine, let's go ask the old madam for clarification. Now, the reputation of the general's daughter is like a big white cabbage, isn't it? Even if it's just a big white cabbage, it's still worth a few copper coins. Gu Yehong, you speak so eloquently, I couldn't help but wonder if I'm being too impolite."

  Perhaps she didn't expect Shen Miao to suddenly change her attitude, and even if she was in a bad mood, she shouldn't take it out on herself. Gu Yini had been tyrannizing the West Wing for a long time, and usually Shen Miao was also controlled by her very well. Today, however, she was even humiliated in front of Yu Ru and Jing Xuan, and her heart was somewhat annoyed, so she said: "Miss, these words are really unfair to an old slave like me. I've followed Miss for over a decade, how could Miss think that I'm intentionally harming people?"

  "Preposterous!" Jing Zhen shouted loudly: "The young lady is our master, how dare you speak to her in such a manner, Gui Yatou?"

  Madam Gui was startled, and also regretted her previous excitement. But words that have been spoken are like spilled water, and there were many servants around watching the commotion. She thought Shen Miao was just an easily deceived young girl, so she quickly softened her tone and said: "Miss, I'm truly worried about you, Miss. I've followed you for so many years, and in my heart, I've long considered you as my own child. What I said earlier was wrong, please don't be angry, Miss, take care not to harm your body."

  Treat her as if she were her own child? Shen Miao sneered inwardly, thinking that Gui was a clever person. She had obtained a lot of silver from her in the past, but Gui still acted like the real mistress of the East Wing. In the end, she even caused her brother to suffer such a great loss. If it were in her previous life, encountering such a shrewish slave in the harem, she would have long since ordered someone to beat her to death and throw her out. However, now... Since Gui was sincerely devoted to the East Wing, why not use her hand to make the East Wing suffer a loss?

  She raised an eyebrow and said lightly: "Since Gu Yehuo knows his mistake, he will only be fined three months' salary."

  Gui's expression stiffened, and Shen Miao's lips curled up slightly.

  What should be done with the poor old lady who has no money?

  Naturally, he went to Dongyuan to show his loyalty.
