Chapter 233 Mother, What Should I Do?

Qingmei didn't know why the old lady wanted to see her, and she had been feeling a little uneasy along the way. After hearing what Nanny Wang said, she suddenly understood something.

Seeing that Nanny Wang had already entered the old lady's room, she quickly trotted a few steps and followed her in.

"I greet the old lady. I wonder what you want me to do?"

After Qingmei entered the room, she knelt down and saluted respectfully towards the old lady.

"Get up, no need to be polite. Qingmei, take this Buddhist scripture back to Fangqing and ask her to copy it once a day. You will be responsible for delivering the Buddhist scripture she copied to me."

The old lady held a Buddhist scripture in her hand and smiled at Qingmei.

Nanny Wang quickly took the Buddhist scripture from the old lady and handed it to Qingmei.

"Yes, old lady, but it may be a bit difficult for you to copy two books in one day!"

Qingmei gritted her teeth and said it anyway, then she glanced at the old lady nervously.

"You are a caring girl. You don't need to copy the book you took away yesterday. Just copy this one. This one is more suitable for her!"

The old lady did not blame Qingmei. Instead, she nodded at her with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Qingmei hurriedly and respectfully accepted the order.

"I hope she can really understand what the Buddhist scriptures say and stop doing wrong things. When you stay with her, you should advise her more and tell her not to do evil things. You must know that good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"

The old lady said earnestly.

Hearing the old lady's words, Qingmei's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the old lady knew all the things that the lady had done many years ago?

She suddenly looked up at the old lady, and fell into those eyes full of wisdom!

The old lady really knew it!

Qingmei knelt down on the ground and said respectfully to the old lady, "Old lady, I am of low status and I am afraid that you will not listen to my words of persuasion. I am willing to be your eyes. If you do anything bad, I will report it to you. I believe you will listen to your words."

The old lady looked at Qingmei who was kneeling on the ground for a long time without saying a word. After a long while, she sighed and said, "What a smart girl, you know what to do to be the best for your master. Thank you for your hard work. If Fangqing wakes up in the future, she will definitely thank you!"

"I dare not ask Madam for gratitude, as long as Madam is well, I will be satisfied!"

Qingmei knelt up straight and looked at the old lady and said sincerely.

After saying that, she took out the letter that Madam Zhao had given her from her sleeve, raised it above her head, and respectfully reported to the old lady, "Madam, this is what Madam Zhao from the General's Mansion gave me just now. She ordered me to give it to you, Madam. Please take a look!"

Nanny Wang, who was standing by, nodded in satisfaction, then stepped forward to take the letter from her, carefully opened it, and handed it to the old lady. After reading the letter, the old lady's expression did not change, and she asked Nanny Wang to restore the letter to its original state and return it to Qingmei.

Then he looked at Qingmei and smiled, "Fangqing is lucky to have you by her side. Get up and do what Aunt Zhao tells you to do. Give the letter to Fangqing!"

"I obey your command! If the old lady has no other instructions, I will leave!"

"Well, let's get down!"

Qingmei respectfully took a few steps back before turning around, lifting the curtain, leaving the old lady's room, and walking towards Cao Fangqing's small Buddhist temple.

"Madame Wang, go and call the Marquis over!"

After Qingmei left, the old lady held her forehead, closed her eyes and gave instructions.

"Yes, I obey my orders!"

After kneeling and bowing to the old lady, Nanny Wang went to the front yard to find Marquis Anyang.

"Mother, you called your son here in such a hurry, but what's the matter?"

A quarter of an hour later, Marquis Anyang came in hurriedly from outside, bowed to the old lady and asked.

"All of you go down, Nanny Wang, you stay outside the door!"

The old lady did not answer her son, but gave instructions to Nanny Wang and others.

When the mother and son were the only ones left in the room, the old lady asked Marquis Anyang to sit next to her and told him about the trouble Cao Fangqing had caused yesterday.

"I was wondering why Cao Fangqing suddenly worshipped Buddha. It turns out that she offended the Sixth Prince and was punished by him!"

Seeing her son calling Cao Fangqing by her full name, the old lady sighed with disgust in her eyes.

My son has recently been looking into the incident of Fangruo falling off the cliff. Judging from his expression, he should have known that the incident was related to Cao Fangqing.

"Jing'er, there is something else today. Madam Zhao from the General's Mansion came to deliver a letter to Fang Qing. I read the letter. Some time ago, Cao Fang Qing actually begged Zhao Ting'er to ask the Minister of Rites to send someone to Linshan County to investigate Fang Ruo and her daughter..."

Before she finished her words, Anyang Hou stood up suddenly and said, "Were those people from Linshan County sent by the Minister of Rites? What did Cao Fangqing ask her grandfather to investigate Fangruo and her daughter? "

"Don't get excited yet, sit down and listen to what I have to say!"

The old lady patted Marquis Anyang's hand and spoke gently.

Seeing her son sitting down obediently and looking at her seriously, the old lady continued, "You came back this time because Fangruo and her daughter severely punished Siruo and were a little indifferent to Cao Fangqing. She noticed something was wrong. She must have asked the maids around Siruo and found out about the feud between Siruo and Fangruo and her daughter. That's why she wanted to investigate Fangruo and her daughter!"

After hearing what the old lady said, Anyang Hou frowned and said, "Mother, I recently found out that Fang Ruo's fall from the cliff was probably planned by Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing. If Cao Fangqing finds out that Fang Ruo is still alive, she will definitely try her best to get rid of her!"

"So, Jing'er, you have to treat Fang Qing the same as before, or even better than before. Don't let her see any clues and start investigating Fang Ruo again! Don't let Fang Ruo be in danger again because of you!"

The old lady said earnestly.

"I understand, mother. I have paid attention today. Based on my performance in the General's Mansion yesterday, Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing should not doubt the identities of Fang Ruo and her daughter for the time being! I have sent more people to Linshan County, and I will definitely not let Fang Ruo get into trouble!"

Marquis Anyang looked at the old lady and said in a low voice.

"Jing'er, withdraw your people from Linshan County. You must understand that only when you have no connection with Linshan County anymore will you not implicate Fangruo!"

Seeing that her son lowered his head and remained silent after hearing what she said, the old lady continued to persuade him, "Jing'er, let it go. Since Fangruo is now loved by her husband and has a son and a daughter, she is living a very happy life. Don't disturb her life anymore!"

"Mother, I didn't mean to destroy her peaceful life. I just wanted to protect her secretly, that's all!"

Marquis Anyang said with a painful look on his face.

The old lady touched the head of Anyang Marquis with heartache, and said cruelly: "Son, your protection is a disturbance, and it may bring danger to Fangruo. If the people sent by the Minister of Rites really find Fangruo and kill her family, you will regret it for the rest of your life! Cao Fangqing asked the Minister of Rites to send people because of your abnormality!"

Whenever Marquis Anyang thought about Fang Ruo being harmed again because of him, his heart ached!

Seeing her son's distraught look, the old lady held his hand tightly and continued, "Son, you and Fangruo have already started your own families, so just live your own lives. What you need to do now is to find a way to prevent your family from breaking up!"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Anyang looked up at the old lady in confusion.

"Jing'er, Fangruo looks gentle and quiet, but in fact, she has a very strong temper. Just wait and see. After Cao Zhu finishes the war, the siblings will definitely come back to seek revenge on Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing. How will you deal with it then? Should you sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice and let them make the events of that year public, or should you try to mediate for the sake of your three children?"

The old lady put the cruel reality before Marquis Anyang.

"Of course, we should hand Cao Fangqing over to Cao Zhu and Fang Ruo for punishment. With their tempers, there is no way they will let Cao Fangqing go!"

Marquis Anyang said in a decisive tone.

After saying this, he frowned as he thought of his three children.

"Jing'er, you are the father of three children, so you should plan for them. If people knew that their mother was such a cruel person, how would they cope with it?"

When Anyang Hou heard this, he closed his eyes in pain and murmured, "Mother, what should I do? I don't want Fangruo to be wronged, and I don't want the children to be implicated by their mother!"
