After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

Xu's mother nodded and asked someone to enter Nanny Wan's room and search it carefully inside and out. Finally, she found a wooden box in a secret compartment under the bed.

A maid tried to take the wooden box out, but she lost her grip and couldn't lift it at all. It was too heavy! She was stunned for a moment, and quickly called the nanny next to Xu's mother, and finally took the box out with great effort.

She brought the box to Xu's mother and opened it. Suddenly, there was a gasp in the room.

Gold ingots! Full of gold ingots! Stacked together one by one, once the lid was opened, it seemed as if the whole room was sparkling with golden light!

The servants around were all stunned. They stared at the gold ingots in a daze.

Oh my god! So many gold ingots, how much are they worth!

How could a servant like Wan Ma get so many gold ingots? Did they empty the storehouse of the Duke's Mansion?

Xu's mother was also very surprised. Seeing so many gold ingots, she was also dumbfounded. When she came to her senses, she was furious.

"Great, great! I didn't expect that I would raise such an ungrateful person who repays kindness with hatred!"

It’s these gold ingots, right? Nanny Wan was bribed by these gold ingots, right?

"Ma'am, there's another box here!"

Another maid found a box that was slightly smaller than the previous one.

"Bring it here and open it! I want to see how many treasures Nanny Wan has hidden here!" Mother Xu said gritting her teeth.

The maid brought the box over and opened it. As expected, it was filled with jewelry, all kinds of jewelry. Gold hairpins, hairpins inlaid with round pearls, bracelets, everything was exquisite, and there was even a huge bead!

Xu's mother was so angry that she laughed, "Look, Nanny Wan's property is even richer than our Chengguo Mansion!"

It was obvious at a glance that these things were not ordinary items, and not something that ordinary people could afford. The person who bribed Aunt Wan must be either rich or noble.

Xu Muhua stared at the various jewellery in the box, and this time he finally caught the flash of inspiration in his mind.

These things...why do they look like they belong to the palace?

As soon as this thought flashed into her mind, it was like the sun coming out of the clouds. She seemed to understand something and see something.

But this also made her heart sink.

If her guess was true, then...

"Mom, let's deal with things first!" Xu Muhua reminded.

Xu's mother immediately decided to have the news blocked, and then went directly to the dilapidated courtyard of the Duke's Mansion where servants who had committed mistakes were imprisoned.

Nanny Wan had her hands and feet tied and her mouth gagged.

Of course, she also understood that she was probably exposed. But she couldn't figure out why she was discovered.

No one had ever suspected the old lady's illness, and they all thought that she had caught a cold by herself because she had been greedy for coolness at night. She was also relieved, thinking that she could escape safely this time.

She was thinking that she would find an opportunity to leave the mansion after some time, saying that she was old and worried that she could not serve the old lady well, so she wanted to live with her family. The man said that he would help them arrange a new identity, so that she could get rid of her status as a slave and live the rest of her life as a commoner.

Unexpectedly, the matter was suddenly exposed!

So when she saw Xu's mother come in, Nanny Wan didn't look panicked or surprised at all, but rather very calm.

"Madame Wan, I believe I have never treated you unfairly. Even the old lady trusts you. Why did you do such a thing? Who bribed you to attack the old lady?"

After asking, Xu's mother motioned Xu Rui to take the cloth out of her mouth. "Madame Wan, you'd better be sensible. I'm usually kind, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to fool. If you dare to play any tricks in front of me, I can't say what will happen to your children and grandchildren."

Nanny Wan's face was pale. "Madam, I was wrong in this matter. It was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with others. I can tell you everything. I just ask you not to implicate my family. They know nothing."

"Does your family really know nothing?"

Nanny Wan shook her head. "They really don't know anything. I believe Madam has also searched my room and found those things, right? I didn't dare to take those things back, let alone tell them."

Xu's mother looked at her steadily, her eyes full of scrutiny. After a while, she said calmly, "If you tell us the truth, we will naturally not implicate the innocent."

Nanny Wan let out a sigh of relief. "Someone bribed me to find a chance to kill the old lady. But that person didn't let me poison her. Instead, he asked me to find a way that would look normal and not arouse suspicion from anyone. It had to be done quietly and naturally."

"Who bribed you, and when did they find you?"

Nanny Wan answered without hesitation: "It started after the eldest lady's wedding date was set. At that time... I refused. But that person came a few more times, promising more and more things, and..."

She paused, and gazed deeply at Xu's mother with her cloudy eyes. "In the end, I agreed because I once heard that the man's voice was a little wrong. It sounded very much like the eunuchs in the palace."

He is obviously tall and looks no different from a normal man, but his posture, voice and behavior are very different from those of a normal man.

At first she didn't even think about the palace, until one day, when the man saw that she still refused to speak up, he probably got a little anxious and revealed his true colors.

Although she was a servant, she had lived in the Duke's Mansion for so many years and understood that the only person who dared to come to the Duke's Mansion to bribe the servants and attack the old lady was the most supreme one in the palace.

So what can she do?

If she refuses to the end, the palace will find someone new, and she and her family will probably be eliminated.

Mother Xu was horrified and took two steps back unsteadily. Xu Rui quickly reached out to support her, his face gloomy, and it was obvious that he understood the deep meaning of Nanny Wan's words.

"So, Madam, there is nothing I can do! After I agreed, the man did not urge me, but told me to wait for news. It was not until the eldest lady was going to marry the Crown Prince that he sent me a letter again, asking me to find a chance to take action."

"I kept putting it off until a few days ago, when that person sent me something again. I thought it was a letter, but I didn't expect..." Aunt Wan's voice choked up a little, "I didn't expect that when I opened it, it turned out to be a finger! It was the finger of my five-year-old grandson!"

He was hinting to her that if she didn't take action, the next thing delivered would be something else, and who knows when it would be her grandson's life!
