Madam Song was coaxed into a good mood, standing under the corridor watching Song Zhiyuan leave, she held the hand of her trusted nanny with a smile as she walked back into the house.
The Nanny Fang glanced at her and joined in with a smile, "Now that the Grand Madam has awakened, you can be at ease too, Madam, you finally have a smile on your face."
Madam Song sat down, touched her cheek, and said, "This great burden on my heart can indeed be set down. Nanny Fang, later take two taels of bird's nest from my storage and stew it in the small kitchen, I'll take it to my mother tonight."
"Two taels?"
Madam Song nodded and said while holding the tea, "It's not just two taels, this bird's nest can nourish her body for a long ti, and I would even get two hundred pounds for her. The past two days, you know, how could I dare to truly close my eyes and sleep?"
Nanny Fang, being her dowry maid and having been with her since childhood, naturally understood her aning and said, "Madam, you can be at ease now. You have indeed weathered the storm."
The Pri Minister's wife, with the status of an Imperial Decree, her honor follows her husband's nobility, and from now on only others will pay heed to her deanor.
Madam Song beca sowhat emotional, holding her hand, her eyes slightly reddened as she said, "Nanny, I know people outside have been waiting to see make a fool of myself, saying that I, Gu Xiangyi, have no luck or fortune, they spoke so maliciously, now they must be gnashing their teeth and tearing up countless handkerchiefs."
Nanny Fang gently patted her hand to comfort her.
"Thus, Nanny, no matter how much I dislike her, I must honor her, hoping she lives a long life. As long as she lives, the Pri Minister will still be the Pri Minister, and I, Gu Xiangyi, will be the Pri Minister's wife." Madam Song straightened her back.
Nanny Fang pondered for a mont and said, "The Grand Madam may be crude and was once a child bride, having gone through hardships, without her strength, how would there be today's Song Family? Madam, don't bla this old servant for speaking too much, compared to those haughty mothers-in-law from other grand families, the Grand Madam is much better, at least she hasn't sent anyone into your room even after you bore two daughters. She's confused in small matters, but have you ever seen her ss up in big ones? Now that she's ill, to say sothing unfortunate, who knows how long her body can endure, the days she could oppose you are limited, why bother to mind it?"
"Good Nanny, I understand, I was young then, I wouldn't dare in the future." Madam Song said blushing, "These years the Pri Minister has been single-hearted with , which sister in the family isn't envious of ? It's just that my womb didn't cooperate, only giving him one son, Su'er, if Qian'er and Qi'er were both sons, what would I have to worry about?"
Nanny Fang sighed too, for this was the only blemish on the Madam's perfect life.
"The Pri Minister said, the Lu Courtyard's doctor remarked that after this stroke, the lady may have so sequelae, perhaps her temperant may change a bit, Nanny Fang, you'll keep an eye for , any servant below not attentive in serving, regardless of whose person they are, replace them all with clever and proper ones. Also, add two more maidservants and old won to her courtyard."
As vast as the heaven and earth, the mother-in-law is largest, especially at this juncture, she must serve the Grand Madam comfortably, wishing her a long life.
"Adding maidservants, why not look for a dical girl? First, she can attend to the Grand Madam's health, second, having a dical girl in the house would also be convenient if the wonfolk faced any discomfort." Nanny Fang suggested.
Madam Song's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of that? Later I'll go back to my maiden family and ask my father to find soone."
Nanny Fang smiled and said, "Madam, before asking Old Marquis, discuss with the Pri Minister, see if he knows any experts in this area, couples discussing matters together only strengthens the relationship."
Madam Song nodded with a blush and softly said, "He said to make a grand celebration for my birthday. Nanny, I am truly happy."
Nanny Fang gently tidied the hair at her temples and smiled mildly, who wouldn't be happy?
