"You intentionally told the Aunt Li that it was Nanny Zhang helping you in the dark, and even said that everything you've done was under my guidance. If I don't hate you to the core, when she comes out of the ancestral hall, I won't feel good."

Her idea was to sow discord.

Since Nanny Zhang wanted to be loyal to Madam Li, then let her personally try out her methods of punishing her. She only hoped that when the time comes, Nanny Zhang would not regret it.

Madam Li knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole day and was soon released.

However, the matter of her being ordered to kneel in the Ancestral Hall by the madame had spread across the entire Prince An's Palace.

When Madam Wang heard the news, she was the happiest. Madam Li had just come out of the Ancestral Hall, so she brought her servant to Madam Li's courtyard and said some words in front of Madam Li that spoke of her heartache, but actually rejoiced at her misfortune.

Madam Li had a stiff smile on her face as she finally sent Madam Wang out of his own courtyard. In the blink of an eye, her expression changed and she smashed the porcelain tea set on the table with a gloomy face.

"You actually dare to come and make fun of me!" She tossed all the other things on the table clean as well, and panted heavily due to exhaustion. Then she sat down on a chair and glared fiercely at the direction that Madam Wang had left in.

"Please calm your anger, Madam." "No matter how pleased Second Madam is, the Prince An's Palace is still in your hands. She only has the advantage in the mouth, but in the end, you still have to follow Madam's instructions. Please don't be angry and hurt your own body."

Madam Li had also calmed down. She and Madam Wang had always been at odds with each other, as if the two were natural enemies. Furthermore, the moment Madam Wang had just returned to the palace, she had already lost the power to manage the treasury. This was a power seized from her hands, how could the Madam Li with the strongest Prince An's Palace not hate Madam Wang?

But now, there was something more important than Madam Wang.

The Madam Li's gaze darkened. She called the servant over and whispered something into her ear before waving her hand at the servant, "Go on, I want to tell the servant from Nanny Zhang. No matter how cunning and loyal she is, she won't be able to stand up to me."

The servant Hongtao replied and left Madam Li's courtyard. She then sneaked into the front yard and found her brother Hong Ying.

She looked around, then lowered her voice, and chatted by Hong Ying's side for a while. Finally, when she returned from the front yard, she was holding a bag in her arms.

Hongtao did not directly return to the Madam Li's courtyard. Instead, she first arrived at the Parasol House and found the Nanny Zhang.

"Why is Miss Hongtao here?" Nanny Zhang opened the door, upon seeing the person, she smiled obsequiously, and quickly led the person into her own room.

Hongtao had a smile on her face, but it was impossible to see how angry she was, "Madam, on account of the fact that you have been working for her for so many years, have me come over to reward you with something."

Her package was placed on the table, and Nanny Zhang's gaze immediately became greedy. He stared closely at the package, unwilling to shift his gaze away.

Hongtao scoffed disdainfully in her heart, but she was still smiling. "This is something that Madam has meticulously prepared, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Nanny Zhang immediately stepped forward and carefully opened the bag. Inside was a piece of jewelry made from gold and silver. The workmanship was exquisite, and she could tell that it was definitely worth a lot of silver.

"This was all given to me by my aunt?" Nanny Zhang could not help but swallow her saliva, her voice trembling.

Hongtao slightly curled her lips, "These are naturally all for you, but..."

But what?

Just as Nanny Zhang was thinking this, she heard Hongtao shouting loudly, "Nanny Zhang, how did you get the treasures that were lost in the warehouse?"

Her voice was shrill and high-pitched, instantly drawing the guards over.

Nanny Zhang lived in a servant's room, there were no gatekeepers, the guards heard the sound, and immediately barged in.

When he saw the item in the bag in front of Nanny Zhang, the guard laughed out loud. "So it was a tricky slave like you who stole the property of the, you've taught us to catch you."

"What family's treasure? This is something this aunt specifically bestowed upon me!" Nanny Zhang stretched her neck, not the least bit afraid in front of the guards.

That guard was also not someone who could be fooled easily. He sized up Nanny Zhang and sneered, "You are the head miss's servant. Furthermore, the treasure in your bag is precisely the treasure that was lost in the King's Manor a while ago. With the stolen goods here, why haven't you quickly confessed?! "

Three to five of them rushed forward and pressed on Nanny Zhang's shoulders and tied her hands behind her back.

"I didn't." Seeing that she was about to be tied up to send off the official, the Nanny Zhang panicked. She twisted her body and turned to look at Hongtao, asking for help, "Miss Hongtao, this was brought over by your Aunt.

Hongtao met her gaze, but her face revealed surprise, "What is Nanny Zhang saying, I'm only here to tell you that the Madam set a fire for Eldest Miss and told you to remember to send someone to get it, but I didn't send anything over to you." She pointed to the package, her expression even more cold, "As for why the things stolen in this house are here in Nanny Zhang, you should know it better than anyone else."

She kept the relationship quiet and dry. She had already thought of a reason long ago, so she couldn't find any fault with it.

Nanny Zhang looked at her cold expression and suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

She had also stayed in the Duke Palaces for most of her life. At this point, how could she not understand that the matters today were entirely done by the Madam Li and it was all because of her?

But she was trembling in fear while working for the Madam Li, why did she want to harm her?

"Where's Aunt? I want to see her!" Nanny Zhang shrieked as she struggled in the hands of the guards. However, she was old, and had always lived a life of luxury, so how could she possibly be a match for the strong guards? She struggled for a good while, but ended up in the hands of the guards.

"You don't need to see Aunt. Aunt said it, if you dare to scheme and betray her, you have to bear the consequences. Nanny Zhang, why don't you think about what you did wrong, but I'm afraid you haven't even had the chance to change your mind, you should go down to the ground and repent again!"

"What design, what betrayal, I don't even know!" Nanny Zhang cried, her tears and snot mixing together. Her hands that were tied behind her wanted to grab onto Hongtao's sleeves, "Miss Hongtao, I beg you to tell my aunt, I am completely loyal to her."

Hongtao pushed her away and looked at Nanny Zhang falling to the ground, "Leave these words to me underground, take him away!"
