Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Cunning and Scheming Person
Night had fallen over the Sheng Mansion.
Although the Sheng Mansion had been renovated, the master bedroom at its deepest core remained untouched, preserving its original state.
A blackwood tea table, a writing desk, a set of blue and white porcelain teacups, a double-decker Green Lamp, and countless neatly-frad ancient paintings and poems adorned the four walls.
Nanny Chen added so oil to the lamp and noticed the Old Lady transfixed by a portrait. She approached and persuaded, “Old Lady, it’s late. You should rest now.”
Mrs. Lai ca to her senses and massaged her brow, asking, “What’s the situation now?”
Nanny Chen replied, “Old Lady, there’s no danger to Han Ruixin’s life. I estimate she’s already woken up. At this mont, Young Master Achen is at the hospital with her.”
The Old Lady sneered, “She really went to great lengths, recklessly taking a bullet like that.”
Nanny Chen chuckled along, “Indeed, she’s quite determined. For the sake of the young master, she didn’t hesitate to risk her life. However, she thinks that by doing so, she can win our Sheng Family’s favor. That’s simply naive.”
Yet the Old Lady unexpectedly said, “No, in this matter, she hasn’t backed the wrong horse. We must properly express our gratitude where it’s due. Our attitude towards the Han Family can justifiably be altered at this opportunity.”
“This…” Nanny Chen thought for a mont before understanding, “Old Lady, do you an to allow the Han Family into the ga to counter Ye Shu? Old Lady, aren’t you being overly cautious? Both Ye Shu and Han Ruixin are just little girls. Are we worrying too much?”
“No, you’re wrong, Old Chen. That girl Ye Shu is not an ordinary girl. Watching her ticulous planning at the wedding, her step by step strategy, she made Mrs. Han and her daughter retreat in defeat, lanting bitterly. Such a shrewd mind and fierce character — if such a girl were to marry into our Sheng Family, she certainly wouldn’t submit to the family’s rules and disciplines. Most importantly, we must be wary of her amber-colored eyes.”
“Oh, I understand, Old Lady. By the way, Ye Shu is now pregnant. If we are too harsh on her, I fear she might beco too agitated, which could affect the child in her womb.”
“That’s why the asure of force used depends on your judgent, Old Chen. Before she gives birth to a child for our Sheng Family, we cannot let her emotions be greatly provoked. Whether she can beco my granddaughter-in-law still depends on her ability.”
“Mm, understood, Old Lady. Shall I make the arrangents now?” Nanny Chen asked cautiously.
The Old Lady instructed, “Go. Now is a good ti.”
“Yes, Old Lady. After seeing you to bed, I’ll go make the arrangents.” Nanny Chen said before proceeding to make the Old Lady’s bed.
Jin City Noble Hospital!
To create more opportunities for her daughter Han Ruixin and Young Master Sheng to be alone, Mrs. Han moved a reclining chair to lie just outside the hospital room door, shooing away any reporters or anyone else who attempted to disturb them — aside from doctors and nurses.
Just as she was dozing off, a black nanny van quietly pulled into the hospital. A senior woman carrying a large fruit basket exited and made her way straight toward Han Ruixin’s room.
Half asleep, Mrs. Han suddenly saw a dark figure flash before her, sending a chill throughout her body, almost toppling her from the chair.
“Mrs. Han, why are you sleeping here?” the senior woman asked flatly.
“Who are you—” Mrs. Han, recognizing the visitor and swiftly rising, said, “Oh, you’re Nanny Chen from the Sheng Mansion, a favored servant by Grandma’s side!”
