CHAPTER 1137: CHAPTER 1135: MISHAPS ONE AFTER ANOTHER

The wet nurse’s words were understood by Madam Wang, essentially saying that the situation wasn’t stirred up earlier because Lu Xiaodie hadn’t been dealt with, but recently she did something to Lu Xiaodie, so how could Sister-in-law Lu not have jumped out?

Ancient people often believed in gods and Buddhas; Madam Wang combined her own observations and was already seventy to eighty percent convinced. Could it really be Sister-in-law Lu coming back for revenge?

"Wet nurse, did they really deal with Lu Xiaodie?" Madam Wang asked tremblingly.

Nanny Wei said, "Don’t worry, those two thugs took the silver, can they not do the job? I’ve heard she’s already been sold off."

Being "sold off" naturally implied someone had orchestrated things from behind, which made Nanny Wei believe it was true and more convinced that Lu Xiaodie couldn’t escape death.

Madam Wang, upon hearing this, didn’t feel particularly joyful; instead, her brows knitted as she muttered, "Could it really be..."

Nanny Wei’s face turned pale, with a hint of fearful terror in her eyes. Such atrocious deeds were committed with her assistance; though Madam Wang gave the orders, she was an accomplice!

What if they came after her too, what would she do?

"Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!" A maid was shouting outside.

Madam Wang’s face darkened; at this moment, she couldn’t bear to hear any bad news, so upon hearing the maid’s words, her face immediately sank.

Nanny Wei immediately went out, reprimanding a few words. But when she heard the messenger’s report, she was so frightened her legs went weak, and she stumbled to run inside.

Madam Wang felt a jolt in her chest and asked, "What happened?"

Nanny Wei replied with a trembling voice, "Ma-Madam, Xiao Shan and the young master have somehow fallen into the lotus pool."

Madam Wang immediately saw black before her eyes.

Xiao Shan was Nanny Wei’s grandson and a little attendant by her son’s side; how did they fall into the lotus pool?

The Wu Residence was rewarded to the Wu Family ancestor by the former emperor, a large five-entry mansion, later purchased an adjacent house for expansion, and the rear garden had a not-too-large lotus pool. A pavilion was built at its center, making it a pleasant place during the hot summer.

"Madam, don’t panic, they’ve been rescued!" Nanny Wei quickly supported Madam Wang.

"Yuyu, is he okay?" Madam Wang urgently asked as she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Wu Guanyu, just ten years old this year, was her only son and her lifeline; he mustn’t suffer even a little harm!

Nanny Wei supported her, swiftly heading towards the lotus pool while learning what had happened.

It turned out that the lotus flowers on the pool had formed buds, sparking Wu Guanyu’s interest. He wanted to pick a flower for his mother to keep, so he had the boat lady row a small boat to the center of the pool, bringing only his attendant Xiao Shan.

It was all fine initially, but just as Wu Guanyu was about to pick a lotus flower, a gust of wind suddenly blew and knocked down Xiao Shan, who hit Wu Guanyu, causing both to fall into the pool.

Fortunately, there was a boat lady who quickly rescued them, but after all, they were young. The fright couldn’t be understated.

Madam Wang stumbled to the lotus pool, Wu Guanyu was crying his heart out, no amount of comforting could calm him.

"Can’t even look after a person, what use are you? Drag them out and sell them all!" Madam Wang, seeing her son with a pale, wet face, pointed angrily at the servants attending him.

A chorus of pleas for mercy arose, as Madam Wang, livid with rage, yelled at Nanny Wei, "Still standing there doing nothing, take them down!" She then held her son and comforted him thoroughly.

"Mom, mom, there’s a ghost, a ghost wants to catch me!" Wu Guanyu cried out frightfully.

Madam Wang’s heart sank and quickly ordered someone to call for the doctor.
