After Lu Zhen left, Su Qiong couldn’t help but worry. “Miss Liu, will Qingqing be poisoned again?”

Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No, I left a safety force on her body.”

Liu Sanniang knew that Lu Qingqing did not really hate Su Qiong. She was bad tempered and rebellious because she wanted to get her mother’s attention.

Lu Qingqing hated Su Qiong for scolding and reproaching her. As a natural defense mechanism, she responded with sharp words too. However, deep down, what she wanted the most was her mother’s love.

Su Qiong heaved a sigh of relief, but then her heart tightened again. “Miss Liu, please stay for a few more days. I’ve already got people to bring over the nannies who delivered my baby. I still need your help.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Su Qiong looked at Liu Sanniang gratefully.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked back to the courtyard together. On the way, they met two maidservants. The maidservant lowered her voice and said, “If Fourth Young Master’s fever doesn’t subside, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive.”

“That’s right. I don’t know what his mother is thinking. She doesn’t even allow us to inform Madam.”

When the two maidservants saw Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang, they stopped discussing the topic.

Liu Sanniang’s hearing was extremely good now. She paused in her tracks and stopped the two maidservants. “Go and inform Madam. She won’t blame you. If anything happens to Fourth Young Master, you will end up miserable.”

The two maidservants were stunned. “But Concubine Yun said…”

Liu Sanniang interrupted the maidservant. “Madam is the one in charge of the mansion.”

The two maidservants suddenly came to a realization. They had almost forgotten who they were working for.

The two of them looked at Liu Sanniang and replied. “Thank you for your reminder, Miss. I’ll inform Madam now.”

Liu Sanniang smiled and the two maidservants ran to look for Su Qiong.

Su Qiong naturally wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it. She was very concerned to the point of flaring up. “Why didn’t you inform me earlier? Why didn’t you get a doctor?”

The two maidservants lowered their heads and apologized. “Concubine Yun said that Madam is in a bad mood and asked us not to disturb you.”

Su Qiong took a deep breath to suppress her anger. “What are you waiting for? Go get a doctor.”

The two maid servants were shocked. Why was Madam suddenly so good to the illegitimate son? This was not something they could figure out.

Su Qiong couldn’t help but feel agitated. When she recalled how cold she was to Lu Run, she felt guilt-ridden.

She was not a good mother. All her love and patience were given to Lu Ranran.

Thinking about it, her heart ached. She had loved Lu Ranran for more than ten years. The truth would be cruel, but she had no choice but to unravel the mystery herself.

At night, Lu Qingqing returned. She stopped kicking up a fuss and was always absent-minded.

That night was torture for Su Qiong. The person who went to get the two nannies was not back yet, but he should be back tomorrow at most. Tomorrow, she felt that she might die.

The next morning, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the Lu Mansion.

Two old nannies came out of the carriage. They were dressed exquisitely and looked like landladies. When they got out of the carriage, they complained. “What exactly is going on? Why do we have to come back? Are so many of you incapable of taking good care of Madam?”

Yu Cui and Su Shun smiled. “Nanny Sun, Madam wants to see you. She probably has something to ask you.”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao frowned. “What exactly is it about? Don’t you have any clue?”

Yu Cui and Su Shun said truthfully, “We really don’t know.”

They knew that Su Qiong went to Yong County to ask Liu Sanniang for help, but they did not know why Su Qiong wanted to see the two nannies.

Seeing that they could not get anything useful out of the two servants, Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao stopped asking.

Holding their walking sticks, the two of them said, “Come and help us.”

Su Shun and Yu Cui looked at each other and helped them in.

Su Shun smiled. “Nannies, Madam doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Have you done anything you shouldn’t have?”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao’s hearts skipped a beat. However, they were women of the world and could maintain composure under any circumstances. “We’re old employees of the family. We’ve been serving Madam since she was young and even attended her parents’ funerals. How could we do anything to let Madam down?”

Su Shun chuckled. “I was just saying. Don’t take it to heart.”

He didn’t know if there was any, but he knew that Su Qiong was very unhappy. It didn’t look like she invited these two nannies back because she missed them.

As Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao walked, they looked around. When they passed by a courtyard, they stopped and asked. “How is Second Miss?”

Su Shun smiled. “Second Miss is in good health. Madam has always been concerned about her.”

“Second Miss has been weak since she was young. It’s a blessing that she’s fine now.”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. What they had imagined did not happen. As long as this did not change, nothing else mattered.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, the two elders slowly knelt down. “Greetings, Madam.”

Su Qiong did not go out. Instead, she said calmly, “Nannies, please come in.”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao looked at each other and saw worries in each other’s eyes. They had knelt down to test Su Qiong. She valued them very much. Usually, after hearing their greetings and knowing that they were kneeling, she would come out to receive them.

If she didn’t come out, something was up.

The two of them felt uneasy.

After entering, Su Qiong instructed Yu Cui. “Go and invite Miss Liu.”

Yu Cui replied. “Yes.”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao looked puzzled. Who was Miss Liu?

Su Qiong looked at the two old nannies. When she was young, she had them by her side. They took care of her and she had always respected and trusted them.

Su Qiong did not ask the two of them to sit. Instead, she said calmly, “Time really flies. It’s been so many years.”

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao echoed. “That’s right. In the blink of an eye, Madam has already grown up and taken over the Su family.”

Su Qiong smiled. “That’s right. Please take a seat.”

Nanny Xiao shook her head. “How can I sit still when you look like you are troubled by something? Miss, please tell me what is the matter. I’m ready to do anything for you even if it will cost my life.”
