Nanny Tian looked around. She looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Third Miss, are you calling for old servant?"
Qin Yu quickly replied, "Yes, are you Nanny Tian?"
"Indeed, it is old servant. Why does Third Miss seek old servant?" Nanny Tian came to the woodshed window, looking at Qin Yu with curiosity.
Qin Yu asked cautiously, "Does Nanny Tian recognize characters?"
Nanny Tian smiled shamefully, "Third Miss, please don't tease old servant. Old servant comes from a humble background, how can I read?"
"Can Nanny help me with a favor?"
Nanny Tian hesitated, "Third Miss, you're not asking old servant to steal a key and let you out, are you? Old servant dares not!"
Qin Yu smiled, "I just want Nanny to help me deliver something. Are you willing?"
Fearing Nanny Tian would refuse, Qin Yu quickly took off the red jade hairpin from her head and handed it to Nanny Tian, "This is for you, as reward. After the task is done, this young lady will also give you one hundred taels!"
A mere red jade hairpin?
One hundred taels?
Is she trying to dismiss her like this?
She doesn't even treat her like a person!
However, Nanny Tian still put on an act as if she had never seen such things, and said excitedly, "Third Miss, absolutely not. This hairpin is too precious, old servant cannot accept it!"
Seeing Nanny Tian refuse, Qin Yu felt a little relieved!
She heard that this Nanny Tian was from Qin Yun's household. Over the years, Nanny Tian had been doing odd jobs around the manor. Such a low-ranking servant naturally had not seen many precious or good things!
Look!
She casually took out a valuable hairpin, and the other party was moved to tears!
"Nanny, please take it! When this young lady gets out, you can follow me, and you will have whatever you desire!"
Nanny Tian subtly twitched the corner of her mouth!
Then, she said emotionally, "Third Miss is so thoughtful. From now on, if Third Miss needs anything, just command, and old servant will comply!"
Qin Yu said happily, "Seeing how thoughtful Nanny is, why don't you accept this hairpin? If you don't accept it, you are looking down on this young lady!"
Nanny Tian quickly accepted the hairpin, tears streaming down her face, "This is the most precious gift old servant has received in my life. Thank you, Third Miss. What does Third Miss need old servant to do?"
From a hidden spot!
Xiao Ju clicked her tongue! She didn't expect Nanny Tian's acting skills to be so superb, completely fooling Third Miss!
It was a pity that she would only ever be a nanny in this life!
"Nanny Tian, please wait for me!" Qin Yun tore off a piece of cloth from her hem, then picked up a small piece of charcoal from the ground and wrote a line of words on the cloth. She folded it and then took off the sachet from her waist, placing the cloth inside.
"Nanny, please deliver this to the Ming Manor. When you go, take the path along the south side of the back courtyard. When you reach the outer wall, meow like a cat three times, and then place this sachet under the tallest willow tree and you can leave!"
"Won't I be discovered?" Nanny Tian asked curiously.
"Don't worry, you won't be discovered!"
"Third Miss, who are you sending this to? Why is it so mysterious?"
Qin Yu was getting impatient and urged, "Nanny Tian, you don't need to ask about these things. Just do as I say!"
"Alright, old servant will listen to Third Miss!"
"Remember, absolutely do not let a third person know. This is our secret, understand?"
Nanny Tian nodded, "Old servant obeys!"
Seeing Nanny Tian leave with the sachet, Qin Yu felt both fear and trepidation!
If not for the dire circumstances, she wouldn't have resorted to this!
Outside the woodshed courtyard!
Xiao Ju and Nanny Tian met.
The two immediately relayed the message to Qin Yun!
Qin Yun told Nanny Tian to proceed as instructed, and not to alert anyone.
Nanny Tian arrived at the Ming Manor's back courtyard and, following Qin Yu's instructions, completed all the steps!
After placing the sachet, Nanny Tian hid in the shadows.
Not long after!
A young servant quietly left the courtyard and went to the base of the large willow tree, picking up the sachet.
After the task was done, Nanny Tian returned to the manor to report to Qin Yu.
Xiao Ju, meanwhile, brought the news to Qin Yun.
In her room!
Qin Yun looked at the note passed by Xiao Ju!
Then, she wrote a reply and summoned Hong Fu, asking Hong Fu to deliver the letter to Xiao Ju or Nanny Tian, informing them to act at any time. The letter was to be burned immediately after reading!
With all arrangements made! Qin Yun slightly hooked her lips!
Even without showing herself, she could drag Qin Yu to hell!
Nightfall!
The Qin Manor seemed a little restless tonight!
Everyone had their own agenda, thinking about what to do next.
In the darkness, a black shadow quietly entered the Qin Manor's woodshed!
"Who are you?" Qin Yu sensed someone entering. Although she had an idea who it was, she still wanted to confirm.
In the pitch-black night, she could only identify the other person by their voice!
"Miss Qin, it's me, Ming Xia Jing!" As he spoke, Ming Xia Jing stepped forward and immediately hugged Qin Yu!
Qin Yu wanted to break free, but... she was the one who called for him!
Pushing him away now would seem too pretentious!
"Young Master Ming, let's talk properly!" Qin Yu stood still, allowing Ming Xia Jing to embrace her.
"Miss Qin, why are you locked in the woodshed? What do you need me to do?"
Qin Yu shed tears of sorrow!
"At night, the woodshed is full of rats and snakes. I'm scared. I want to ask Young Master Ming to take me away. I don't want to stay here!"
"Alright, I'll take you away now!" Ming Xia Jing couldn't resist kissing Qin Yu's cheek, then pulling her out!
The two escaped the Qin Manor through the back gate, everything went so smoothly!
Qin Yu got into Ming Xia Jing's carriage, not knowing where they were going. She then said, "Young Master Ming, thank you. I didn't expect you to help me at the most crucial moment!"
"Miss Qin, it is I who should thank you. You thought to ask for my help, I am truly touched! Does this mean you have a place for me in your heart?" Ming Xia Jing excitedly grabbed Qin Yu's hands, his eyes lingering on her.
Qin Yu knew very well what Ming Xia Jing wanted to do!
"Young Master Ming, actually, I just don't want to stay in the woodshed at night. Before dawn, I have to go back!"
Ming Xia Jing said excitedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. If you don't want to stay in the woodshed at night, I will come to pick you up from the manor every night, and I will bring you back before dawn!"
"Miss Qin, how did you get locked in the woodshed? You are so gentle and kind, how could Lord Qin treat you like that?"
Qin Yu shook her head. "Don't talk about it, I don't want to discuss these sad matters!"
"Alright, I won't ask. Miss Qin... I..." Ming Xia Jing suddenly lost his composure and tightly embraced Qin Yu!
"Young Master Ming, we are still in the carriage, it's not appropriate!" Qin Yu turned her body, facing away from Ming Xia Jing.
Ming Xia Jing became flustered and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to my private residence!"
The carriage traveled for a while, and soon, Ming Xia Jing brought Qin Yu to a secluded house!
"We're here. This is a house under my name, and we'll stay here tonight!"
Ming Xia Jing scooped Qin Yu into his arms, his face filled with excitement as he got out of the carriage and walked towards the house.
