Chapter 229: Nanny Zhu Betrayed Mdm Zhou
The woman in front of him had fair skin and a rosy complexion. How did she look half-dead?
Old Master Dongfang widened his eyes and pointed at her for a while before asking angrily, “You… you were pretending in the past. You’re not sick at all?”
“That’s right!”
Mdm Zhou looked at him and her eyes reddened immediately.
“Mdm Bi killed my son. Her daughter’s death today is the best retribution the heavens have given her.”
Slap!
Old Master Dongfang used all his strength and slapped Mdm Zhou’s face.
“Mdm!”
Seeing that Mdm Zhou was knocked to the ground, Nanny Zhu pretended to be anxious and came out to help her.
“You b*tch!”
Old Master Dongfang pointed at her angrily and said, “Do you think you’re worthy of being a Mdm of the Dongfang Mansion with your status? If it weren’t for Yuechu’s mother, would you have your status today? You ingrate!”
“Haha. Hahaha!”
Mdm Zhou shook off Nanny Zhu’s hand and laughed crazily.
Her laughter stopped as her neck was strangled by Old Master Dongfang.
“Old Master, you can’t!”
Nanny Zhu went up to persuade him, but was flung off.
Second Aunt watched coldly from the side and did not have the intention to speak.
“Who cares about her charity?” Mdm Zhou sneered and said, “Who cares about being a Mdm? I want my son, our son!”
Mdm Zhou almost burst into tears when she said the last sentence.
Old Master Dongfang was slightly stunned and subconsciously released his grip.
He believed that Mdm Bi was not the murderer. However, when he thought of his child who died in his swaddling clothes and how he and Mdm Bi’s only child was gone, he looked like he aged ten years instantly.
He fell to the ground and mumbled, “What a sin!”
Lianer stared at the scene in front of her in a daze, not knowing how to react.
“Old Master. Old Master!”
Second Aunt glanced at Nanny Zhu, who understood and immediately knelt on the ground to cry. She said to Old Master Dongfang, “Miss, she… she was killed by Mdm!”
Everyone, except those in the know, was stunned.
“What did you say?”
Old Master Dongfang regained his senses and looked at Nanny Zhu in disbelief.
Suspicion was one thing, but the truth was another.
“Mdm was the one who caused Miss’s death!” Nanny Zhu kowtowed thrice and said tearfully, “I’m guilty. I knew that Mdm wanted to harm Miss, but I couldn’t stop her. Old Master, I watched her die, but I didn’t save her. Please send me to the officials!”
“You… How dare you betray me?!”
Mdm Zhou stared at Nanny Zhu in disbelief, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
“Mdm, I’m sorry!”
Nanny Zhu looked both guilty and pained. “I don’t want to see you repeat your mistakes!”
Her son was the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Dongfang Mansion. Because he loved gambling, he embezzled a huge sum of money in private. Second Aunt had found out about this matter.
If she did not work for Second Aunt, her son’s deeds would be exposed and he would probably be beaten to death.
She already had one foot in the grave. It did not matter how long she lived. She just wanted her son to be well.
Second Aunt promised her that as long as she betrayed Mdm, she would get someone to give her son and daughter-in-law a sum of money and send them away from Lin Jiang Mansion.
As for herself, she did not care about the consequences.
“Afraid that I’ll make mistakes again?”
Mdm Zhou smiled bitterly. “Nanny Zhu, oh, Nanny Zhu. I admit that I’ve treated you well, but you teamed up with an outsider to deal with me!”
It was not that Mdm Zhou was unaware of some things. It was just that she did not dare to believe it.
