Granny Jin shook her head.
Xu Xinmo felt a surge of disappointment.
Granny Jin gently rubbed the bruise on Xu Xinmo’s wrist, slowly saying, "Since she has no sense of shame, this presents us with an opportunity. But whether to expose her or use this to blackmail her, we need to think carefully!"
"What does Granny think?" Xu Xinmo asked softly.
"Blackmailing her is unreliable. After all, she is a Commandery Princess. It’s better to expose her and make her lose all face. Perhaps she might even lose her position!"
Smiling silently for a long while, she finally said, "But that has to wait. For now, I still need her to lead me!"
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to enter those prestigious families.
Let alone getting to know the Princes!
"Silly child, if that way doesn’t work, we can take the route of the Young Madam!"
"Yes, my cousin’s aunt is a Noble Consort. Though the Crown Prince is married, if I interact more with the Princes, I can definitely win their favor!"
Xu Xinmo was very confident in herself.
Even Granny Jin nodded seriously.
Yun Jinnian and her companions left Yicai Garden. She stopped and turned to look at the plaque of the garden before returning to Niannian Garden without any change in her expression.
"Miss?" Hemei called softly.
"Go and invite Nanny An over!"
Soon, Nanny An arrived, "Miss, what is it?"
"Nanny An, you are well-experienced. Tell me, what can one’s blood be used for?"
"This..." Nanny An pondered for a moment before saying, "In the palace before, some concubines had people who knew foul practices. They would use worn clothes or hair for their rituals. If they were sorcerers, they might use blood for their magic!"
"No wonder, as soon as I entered Yicai Garden, I felt uncomfortable. Xu Xinmo kept acting crazy, clawing frantically, almost scratching the back of my hand several times!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny An was startled, "So, there is someone skilled in sorcery around Miss Xu?"
Yun Jinnian responded.
She fully understood that the person the Master of Sorcery mentioned was none other than Granny Jin beside Xu Xinmo.
A malicious old woman and a shameless Xu Xinmo who disowns her kin!
"In the future, make sure all my belongings are kept securely, especially my fallen hair. It must not fall into Xu Xinmo’s hands!"
Nanny An nodded and added, "Commandery Princess, from now on, everyone should address you by your title!"
"Because the title Commandery Princess represents your status and position. You earned this title yourself, so why not use it? It can serve as a deterrent in many situations!"
A Commandery Princess with a title and land is far more significant than a casually conferred title.
This, Nanny An knew very well from her many years in the Imperial Palace.
"Nanny, you are absolutely right. Please inform the people of Niannian Garden to follow the protocol from now on!"
Nanny An responded, feeling excited inside.
She had always wanted to prove herself, but Yun Jinnian was often away, and even when she was home, it was Mrs. Yuan who made the decisions.
If Mrs. Yuan were a difficult person, she might have fought back, but Mrs. Yuan was gentle and kind-hearted, never oppressing anyone, which left Nanny An with nothing to do, content to be a carefree person.
But now, with Mrs. Yuan away and Yun Jinnian appointing her as the head butler nanny of Niannian Garden, she naturally wanted to give her best effort.
"By the way, Nanny, did you go to Nuanxin Academy today?"
"I did, but Lady did not see me. Her maid Tianmi told me to return, saying Lady knows well what’s going on!"
