Chapter 12 (1/2)

hapter 12: Gui Momo

When Shen Miao got out of the academy and return back to the Shen residence, the skies were a little dark.

Shen Yue and Shen Qing still did not return together with her and Shen Miao could not be bothered to care about them. Old Shen Furen had already gone to rest so she went back to the West courtyard.

Just as she reached the West courtyard, a voice with some warmth sounded, “Young Lady has finally returned. This old servant heard that Young Lady had fallen into the water and was very worried. Seeing that Young Lady is well, this one’s heart can finally be at ease.”

Turning her head to the side, she saw a middle-aged woman walking over. This woman was about forty years of age with a slightly fat stature, slightly darker skin and wore a green dress. Even though it looked ordinary, the material used was a good one. There was only a thick silver bracelet on her wrist as her face wore a smile.

“Gui Momo.” Shen Miao faintly replied.

That woman did not think that she did any wrong and continue preaching, “This old servant wanted to come over earlier but since Ran-er was ill. After much tossing and turning and seeing there was no other choice, one only pass Ran-er to his mother and came back to the residence first. Seeing that Young Lady is alright, then one’s heart can be settled.”

The main point of this words was saying that Shen Miao position in her heart was more important that her own grandson. If it was the usual, after listening to these words, Shen Miao would be greatly moved and gave Gui Momo some taels to get a physician for her grandson.

But after her rebirth, Shen Miao almost laughed at herself when she saw the woman in front. In the beginning how blind was she to think that such a person was a loyal servant?

Not long after Shen Furen gave borth to Shen Miao, she set off with Shen Xin and since Shen Miao was too young and could not bear the difficulty of travelling, Shen Furen could only reluctantly leave her in Shen residence. Shen Furen hired a wet nurse for her which was the current Gui Momo. Gui Momo was born in a farm in their estate and at the beginning Shen Furen saw that she was diligent and honest and afterwards she saw Gui Momo treating Shen Miao very well, she then felt assured to put her at Shen Miao’s side as a training Momo.

But in this world, people will change.

There were already very little people in West courtyard in the Shen family and the one calling the shots were the two other households and Old Shen Furen in the East courtyard. Guo Momo initially took care Shen Miao honestly but after time past, she saw the power situation clearly and did not hesitate to deflect to the Old Shen Furen in the East courtyard. With Gui Momo’s flattery character, Gui Momo had fanned the flames when she was initially bent on marrying Fu Xiu Yi.

But the most detestable thing was that in the beginning when Old Shen Furen brought her far away grandniece to seek refuge with the Shen family, that grandniece accuse Eldest Brother, Shen Qiu for ruining her innocence and insisted on getting Eldest Brother to take responsibility. She finally became her sister-in-law and created a mess out of Eldest Brother’s backyard. And Gui Momo was the witness to the insult Shen Qiu did to the grandniece.

To think about it now, it was all but a bad show.

Once disloyal, one cannot be used for a hundred times. Moreover with such a person Gui Momo, a hundred times disloyal, she naturally have to tidy things up. For such a dog that run out to others, might as well be killed instead of keep rearing.

Gui Momo waited for a long time but did not hear Shen Miao giving out any reward and the loving look that she maintained on her face stiffen. She could not help but look up to see Shen Miao but only saw Shen Miao looking at her indifferently as if it was nothing special.
