The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 506 Imprisonment of Wang Siruo

"You all may go down, and only Nanny Wang will be left here to serve."

The old lady returned to her courtyard and just as she sat down on the chair, she waved her hand and drove the servants out.

After the servants had left and closed the door, the old lady grabbed Wang Shuer's wrist, stared at her and asked, "Shuer, can you see the bones clearly? Are they human bones?"

"Mother, those are indeed human bones. I have carefully observed them and they match Caiyun's age."

Wang Shuer nodded and said with certainty.

After hearing her words, the old lady let go of her hand and collapsed into the chair, her chest heaving violently.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Old lady, don't be angry, your health is important!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Shuer and Nanny Wang hurried forward, stroked her chest, comforted her softly, and brought warm water to the old lady. The old lady finally recovered under their care.

"Caiyun was just reporting her daily life as I ordered. As her grandmother, I was afraid that she would go astray at such a young age and bring disaster to herself and the Marquis's Mansion. How could she kill Caiyun for such a small matter and feed her bones to dogs! We don't know if Caiyun suffered any other torture before her death. Neither the old Marquis, me, an old woman, nor Jing'er are cruel people. Her two brothers are also good children who know the big picture. How could this girl have such a vicious heart at such a young age! Is it because I, an old woman, didn't teach her well?"

The old lady kept slapping the table with her hands, as if she couldn't accept how her own granddaughter could have such a character.

"Mother, don't be sad. Except for my late sister-in-law, the masters of our mansion are all kind and righteous people. This girl Siruo may have inherited her mother's character."

Wang Shuer was afraid that the old lady would hurt her hands, so she gently held her hands with both hands to stop her from continuing to bang the table and comforted her softly.

"Miss Shu'er is right. You don't have to feel guilty, old lady. Miss is like this not because you didn't teach her well, but because she got it from her mother. It was crooked from the beginning. Think about it, you found a famous nanny in the capital for her since she was a child, and you also hired a knowledgeable literacy teacher for her, but she still grew crooked. It can only be that she was bad from the beginning, and it has nothing to do with your teaching."

When Nanny Wang saw the old lady, who hadn't cried for many years, actually shed tears, she quickly spoke up.

With the consolation of the two, the old lady finally calmed down. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and regained her usual dignified wisdom. Looking at the Buddhist beads that were picked up on the table, she slowly said, "With such a character, we can't let her marry and bring harm to others. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble she will bring to the Marquis's Mansion!"

"The old lady is wise!"

"Mother is right!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Wang Shu'er and Nanny Wang nodded in agreement at the same time.

"Madam Wang, go and tell the servants who are in charge of the front and back yards to strictly not let the young lady leave the house. Send more people to guard the gates. Only leave two rough maids to serve in the Siruo yard. Lock the gate of the yard and have the servants deliver meals and daily necessities every day."

The old lady sat steadily in the chair and gave instructions to Nanny Wang.

"Yes, I will arrange it right away!"

Nanny Wang agreed and hurried downstairs to make arrangements.

"Shu'er, go and explain this to your brother in person, and ask him to tell the two young masters the truth, to prevent them from feeling sorry for their sister and letting her leave the house or letting her accidentally use them to do evil."

The old lady thought about it and gave instructions to Wang Shuer again.

"Yes, mother, your daughter will take her leave."

Wang Shuer bowed respectfully to the old lady and took her leave, then walked towards the study of Marquis Anyang.

The old lady then ordered someone to call the old butler and told him to give fifty taels of silver to Caiyun's family and tell them that Caiyun had gone out of the house on business yesterday and accidentally fell into the water, and her body had not been salvaged.

After arranging all this, the old lady sighed deeply, walked to the table with a somewhat unsteady step, and walked into the small Buddhist hall holding the scattered Buddhist beads. She placed the beads in front of the enshrined Buddha statue, knelt on the cushion, and clasped her hands together. After a while, the sound of her low chanting could be heard in the small Buddhist hall.

"Madame Wang, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Nanny Wang gathered the servants in her courtyard together, counted the number of people, and left behind two sturdy old women, she was about to take the other servants away, even the big dog, and carefully wrapped up the uneaten bones in the doghouse and took them away, Wang Siruo walked up to her, looked at her with a gloomy face and asked.

"My dear young lady, these are all the old lady's orders. As for why she did this, I believe you know it in your heart."

Nanny Wang still bowed respectfully to Wang Siruo and replied expressionlessly.

"Although the old lady ordered the servants to leave, Miss's treatment will remain the same as before. She will not be treated harshly. If Miss needs anything, just tell the servants guarding outside the yard and someone will bring it to you. Miss, just concentrate on reciting the Buddhist scriptures. I will take my leave now."

After Nanny Wang finished speaking, she stopped talking to Wang Siruo and left the yard with a group of servants.

The courtyard door was slammed shut from the outside, and Wang Siruo could also hear the sound of the lock being locked.

"Humph! It was that bitch Wang Shu'er who recognized the bones, right? Grandmother, you actually imprisoned me for a lowly girl. In your eyes, I am even worse than a servant in a marquis' mansion!"

Wang Siruo looked at the courtyard that suddenly became extremely deserted, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"But it's good that there are fewer people. It will be more convenient for me to enter and exit the mansion. Don't think that this wall can hold me back."

Wang Siruo changed her mind and felt better. She looked at the two maids standing respectfully beside her and said, "I won't call you. You don't have to come and serve me. Just go and do the chores in the yard."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two maids took the order and went downstairs to get busy.

"Why are you looking so sad?"

Nanny Wang brought the servants from Wang Siruo's courtyard to the old lady's courtyard. She turned around and looked at their faces, which looked like they were about to cry, and asked with some confusion.

The servants looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

"Are you worried about where you will go? Don't worry. As you know, although the old lady is very strict with her subordinates, she is kind-hearted. As long as you don't make any mistakes, she won't do anything to you. Today, you will be dispersed to various courtyards to serve."

Nanny Wang smiled kindly.

"Please ask Madam to let the young lady give us the antidote and let us live!"

No one spoke. Caixia gritted her teeth, fell to her knees on the ground, and sobbed.
