Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 107: The Death of Nanny Gui (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the gloomy woodshed, the sound of rats crawling past occasionally could be heard, as if they were chewing on firewood. Coupled with the quietness of the night, it made people feel terrified.

Nanny Gui cowered in the corner alone. All these years, although she was only a nanny, because she was close to Shen Miao, the second and third branches were willing to treat her with respect. Sometimes, Nanny Gui’s life was even more comfortable than those rich families among the commoners. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. She was not used to a hard life, let alone being locked up in the woodshed together with those low-grade maids.

The thin clothes could not withstand the cold at night, but her heart was colder than her body. Shen Yue’s maids had been drugged and couldn’t speak anymore, and no one knew if they could survive. Shen Qing’s maids were sold to a ninth-grade brothel. Ren Wanyun’s methods were so ruthless that Nanny Gui could not help but worry about her fate.

Nanny Gui did not think that Ren Wanyun would let her off easily, because not only did she witness Shen Qing’s scandal, but she also played an important role in this matter. Shen Miao was supposed to be the one who was harmed, but in the end, Shen Qing was ruined. How could a person like Ren Wanyun let her off easily?

Tap, tap, tap. As she was thinking, the sound of someone’s footsteps suddenly came from outside, sounding especially clear in the night.

Nanny Gui froze. In the dark, she looked at the door in fear.

There was both hope and despair. Who was behind the door? Was it someone sent by Ren Wanyun to kill her? Or did she still have a chance of survival?

The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, but they hit Nanny Gui’s heart like a death warrant. Her fat body was so weak that she couldn’t stand up, and sweat kept breaking out on her forehead.

The door creaked open.

The person was holding a green lantern. The color of the lantern was already a little strange, but here, it was like a ghost that drifted out of hell in the middle of the night to haunt people. Nanny Gui looked up shakily and saw a person in a white cloak standing at the door. She walked in and slowly closed the door.

Only the green lantern in the room emitted a ghostly light. The person finally let go of the cloak, revealing a delicate and fair face. It was Shen Miao.

The girl had a slender figure, and her round and gentle facial features actually looked a little strange under the green light. It was precisely because she looked calm that people did not dare to look at her directly.

......

Nanny Gui was stunned for a moment before suddenly shouting in surprise, “Miss!”

Shen Miao placed the lantern on the ground and walked up to Nanny Gui. She squatted down and smiled. “Nanny, are you alright?”

“Miss, you’re finally here! I knew Miss would definitely come to save me! Miss has always been kind-hearted and will definitely not sit back and do nothing!” As if she had found a straw to clutch at, Nanny Gui grabbed the corner of Shen Miao’s dress desperately. Tears flowed down her face, as if she had really suffered a lot.

Shen Miao glanced at Nanny Gui’s hand that was holding the corner of her dress tightly. She smiled and said, “It seems like Nanny Gui has suffered a lot here.”

Nanny Gui was stunned for a moment before she carefully sized up Shen Miao’s expression. Shen Miao had a gentle smile and looked calm, but hearing what she said, Shen Miao was not affected at all. Nanny Gui was shocked to find that she, who had been with her for many years, could not tell what Shen Miao was thinking at all. She said, “I’ve served Miss all my life and am loyal to Miss. Miss, I’m innocent.”
