QT: TPE Chapter 15.1

From birth, Xu Lingyi received her mother’s wholehearted love, and not only her mother, but also her father.

But she knew that there were very few mothers like Mrs. Xu in the capital.

Many people only see their sons as a source of support, while their daughters will eventually marry out and become outsiders or passersby.

She was very lucky to have such a good mother as Mrs. Xu.

“Secondly, when entering the palace, you need to bring along reliable maids and a nanny. After thinking about it, Mother decided to have Nanny Zhang accompany you into the palace. Nanny Zhang is steady in character, experienced in handling affairs, and has previously been in the palace. Having her guide you as you enter the palace will put Mother at ease.”

Xu Lingyi nodded. This Nanny Zhang was someone she brought when she married Li Xu in her previous life.

She had helped her a lot in the past. Although she could handle many things on her own in this life, Nanny Zhang was still a good helper.

“I will listen to Mother. Nanny Zhang is someone chosen by Mother, and I trust Mother’s judgment. After entering the palace, I will discuss matters with Nanny Zhang.”

Mrs. Xu nodded, but then added a word of caution: ‘Although Nanny Zhang has been with our family for a long time and all her relatives are here with us, and the chances of her betraying you are very slim, still, you need to be careful. You are the master; you can listen to Nanny Zhang’s advice, but you must also have your own judgment.’

That’s how it is to be a parent. Just a moment ago, she was worried that Xu Lingyi would be stubborn and didn’t want to bring Nanny Zhang into the palace, always managing everything herself.

Now that her daughter had agreed so quickly and was so obedient, she couldn’t help but worry that she might be under Nanny Zhang’s control.

“Mother, you are overthinking it. You know best what kind of person Nanny Zhang is. She would never bully her master.”

In her past life, no matter when, Nanny Zhang always put her interests first and even shielded her from arrows. She never tried to control her.

She is a rare and loyal servant.

Mrs. Xu nodded: “She is a good person. She has been with the Xu family for many years, and it was your father who saved her children.”

“Besides Granny Zhang accompanying you, you also need to carefully select your personal maid. Who would you like to take with you?”

In fact, Xu Lingyi has many maids. Besides Chun Hua and Qiu Shi, she also has Dong Xue and Xia He.

In the past, she was closer to Chun Hua and Qiu Shi, as they were the first two to follow her.

“I plan to bring Chun Hua and Qiu Shi, and add Xia He as well.”

Mrs. Xu said, “Chun Hua is suitable; she is steady and stubbornly devoted, very loyal to you. She knew how to protect her master since she was a child. Having a girl like her by your side gives me great peace of mind. Xia He is also very good, clever by nature, and being born in the household, her relatives are all in the Xu family, so she’s well known and trustworthy. But only Qiu Shi—Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi—the name contains the character for ‘honest’, yet she is not honest at all.”

Mrs. Xu has a keen eye for people. In fact, these words had been said to her in a previous life, back when she was about to marry Li Xu.

But at that time, she liked Qiu Shi very much. She felt that her mother didn’t spend as much time with her as she did with Qiu Shi, so she was prejudiced against Qiu Shi.

Still, she brought Qiu Shi along, and as a result, at the Crown Prince’s residence, Qiu Shi betrayed her.
