Madam Xie looked very unhappy and glanced at Xie Xingli.
Perhaps because the princess was present, she couldn’t say anything and could only turn around and go out to give instructions.
Not long later, her maid brought in two strong male servants.
The servants had just approached the little girl lying on the ground when Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand and called for them to stop.
Xie Xingli quickly asked, “Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?”
Gu Nuo’er looked up at him, her big eyes filled with innocence and confusion. “Uncle Xie, this older sister is your eldest daughter after all, and is also the young miss of your Xie Manor. How can you let male outsiders touch her body?”
To think that he needed to be told such simple rules and principles by a three-year-old girl.
Xie Xingli immediately felt embarrassed.
He secretly gave Madam Xie a reproachful glance and then smiled apologetically at Gu Nuo’er. “This subject didn’t think things through.”
The old nanny who had been protecting Eldest Young Miss Xie earlier quickly said, “This servant can carry Eldest Miss up alone.”
As she spoke, she bent down and picked up Eldest Miss Xie.
Gu Nuo’er saw that this nanny seemed to be old and it was a little difficult for her to carry Eldest Young Miss Xie.
However, the nanny still endured the hardship and exhaustion and carried Eldest Miss Xie to the bed.
When Madam Xie saw this, her lips curled into a cold smile. “Why didn’t you do it yourself earlier? Why did you have to wait till so many people were mobilized?”
When Xie Xingli heard this, he glared at her.
The princess was still around. Why was she making a fool of herself in front of everyone?!
Gu Nuo’er had her back facing them and pretended not to hear them.
She walked to the bed and saw that Eldest Young Miss Xie’s eyes were closed and she was frowning slightly.
Gu Nuo’er climbed onto a stool at the side and waved her small hand. “I’ll sit here for a while and maybe I’ll know what’s going on. However, there mustn’t be anyone to disturb me. That’s why, Uncle Xie, you guys can go out.”
Xie Xingli hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Madam Xie sized up Gu Nuo’er even more suspiciously.
She pretended to smile worriedly and said, “Your Highness, you’re still young. We’re also worried about you being here alone. The Eldest Young Miss can go berserk and hurt people at any moment. If she hurts you, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
Gu Nuo’er turned to look at her. Her black eyes were clear as if they could see through people’s hearts.
Her voice was soft. “Madam Xie, leave. I don’t like for you guys to be here.”
In order not to disturb Gu Nuo’er, Xie Xingli quickly pulled his wife and daughter out.
In the end, only the old nanny who seemed to be loyal to Eldest Young Miss Xie was left in the room, unwilling to leave.
She stood by the bed, looking very timid. “Princess, please let this old servant stay. At the very least, this old servant can help you.”
Gu Nuo’er glanced at her and asked, “Who are you to her?”
“Princess, this old servant was left behind by the previous madam to take care of the young miss. You can just call this old servant Nanny Luo.”
The child fluttered her eyelashes and said in a soft voice, “Nanny Luo, since you were left behind by this older sister’s mother, I need you to go and guard the door now.
“Older sister is in a critical moment and we can’t let others disturb her, especially those who usually are on bad terms with her. Do you understand what I mean?”
Nanny Luo trembled and looked up at the little princess who was sitting upright in front of her.
The princess had a small body, but her exquisite and beautiful eyes revealed a hint of intelligence.
Nanny Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding and bowed to take her to leave.
