Chapter 166 The Truth
166 The Truth

Granny Pang really could not understand and muttered inaudibly, “That shouldn’t be the case… I’m just a servant.”
She frowned deeply. When she frowned, it affected the wound in the back of her head again. It hurt, and her mind was in a mess.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Gu Yanfei reached out and gently pressed the acupuncture points on Granny Pang’s palm twice. She changed the topic. “Granny, why did you leave the Marquis Mansion back then?”
Her voice was clear and melodious, with a soothing rhythm. It was like a spring breeze blowing across one’s face, or a clear spring flowing through one’s heart.
Granny Pang calmed down a little and sighed. “This was 11 years ago.”
Gu Yanfei looked at her quietly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
In her previous life, Gu Yanfei had also asked around in the Marquis Mansion. Those servants only vaguely said that Granny Pang seemed to have been chased out of the Marquis Mansion because of some mistake.
And today, the people in the manor said that this matter seemed to be related to Gu Yunrong.
Speaking of this, Granny Pang was a little hesitant. “That year, Gu Yunrong was only three years old. One day, she was playing in the garden with Mother Su and happened to meet me. Mother Su said that she wanted to relieve herself, so she asked me to take care of Gu Yunrong.”
“I played with Gu Yunrong for a while. Unexpectedly, the railing by the lake had decayed, and Gu Yunrong accidentally fell into the water. Although I saved her in time, she still choked on a few mouthfuls of water.”
“When Madam found out about this, she flew into a rage. She blamed me for not taking good care of Gu Yunrong and even sold me…”
“Eldest Young Master was still young at that time, so Madam didn’t listen to him at all. However, later on, Eldest Young Master asked a family friend to buy me back and let me return to Qingzhou.”
Granny Pang’s frown deepened, and a few deep wrinkles appeared between her eyebrows.
She was both afraid and puzzled. She muttered to herself, “Could it be that Madam knows that I’m back and is still angry about what happened back then?”
“Madam has always liked Gu Yunrong the most…”
Thinking of this, Granny Pang’s expression changed again. She grabbed Gu Yanfei’s hand and hurriedly asked, “Madam didn’t mistreat you, right?”
“Has Madam ever helped Gu Yunrong bully you?”
Granny Pang’s pale and haggard face was filled with worry and concern as she stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking.
It was as if as long as Gu Yanfei said “yes”, she would immediately jump through fire for her.
Gu Yanfei smiled gently.
Initially, she only had a rough impression of Granny Pang. She had heard that she was loyal to her mother and that she had taken care of her brother for several years… At this moment, Gu Yanfei truly felt the other party’s sincerity.
Granny Pang had clearly just escaped death today, but she was still thinking about the siblings.
Granny Pang was sincerely thinking for herself, for her eldest brother, and caring about them.
It was no wonder that after so many years, Big Brother still thought of writing to Granny Pang to ask her to come back. It could be seen that Big Brother trusted her.
A warm current flowed through Gu Yanfei’s heart. She smiled and said meaningfully, “Madam… wouldn’t dare.”
There was a hint of casualness, cunning, confidence, and unruliness between her eyebrows.
The light of the oil lamp gently outlined the girl’s beautiful outline. Snowflakes fell sporadically on her black hair, flickering like fireflies in the light, making the girl look elegant and otherworldly.
Granny Pang’s eyes stung slightly as the immortal couple in her memory appeared in front of her.
Their little master looked like Madam and had a temperament similar to the previous Marquis. It could be seen that dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. They were like father and son, like mother and daughter.
Now that the truth about the real and fake daughters’ backgrounds had been revealed, Gu Yunrong was still shamelessly staying in the Marquis Mansion. It could be seen that they were all black-hearted!
Granny Pang let out a long sigh, feeling worried. She felt that since Gu Yanfei had just arrived, she probably did not know how much Gu Yunrong was spoiled in the Marquis Mansion.
She said worriedly, “Miss, you don’t know, but Madam treats Gu Yunrong as a lucky star!”
“Gu Yunrong has been very lucky since she was young. She can even pick up banknotes on the road. If she accidentally falls, she can meet a nobleman to help her. She can casually order a maidservant to buy a teapot on the street, but it turns out to be an antique that’s hundreds of years old…”
“Ever since Gu Yunrong came, even Madam’s luck has improved.”
“I remember that when Gu Yunrong was one year old, Madam brought her back to her family. When she returned, the Third Uncle personally escorted her back to the residence.”
