Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 912 - 823: Unwilling to Be a Slave 43

Nanny Yun’s eyes were red, and she shouted, "An’er, Yueyue, ah!" Her voice was shrill, and her face was awash with tears, a complete picture of motherly sorrow.

Indeed, it was Nangong Shuangshuang who sent Chun Sheng out of the palace to have Gao Yan capture Nanny Yun’s two sons, cutting off their fingers and ears—parts specifically chosen to be identifiable for Nanny Yun to see.

These two people, being Nanny Yun’s sons, suddenly gained official status out of nowhere. It was impossible that they didn’t know what their mother traded for their wealth and status. They used others’ flesh and blood to pave their roads, so they shouldn’t blame others for being ruthless. Nangong Shuangshuang took action without hesitation.

Looking at Nanny Yun’s pained expression, Nangong Shuangshuang felt no sympathy. She bent down and looked at the pitiful Nanny Yun, saying calmly, "Nanny Yun, are you pained because your sons were harmed? If you have this motherly love, why do you not understand the heart of others’ mothers?

You wanted your sons to soar high, but caused the Empress’s unborn child to be deformed. Born later, it would be deemed a demon, implicating the Empress’s entire family, leading them to a miserable end. Such malicious intent is simply unworthy of being human."

Nanny Yun’s face was covered in tears and snot, her image completely undone by her crying. She was pressed down on the ground by two eunuchs, but she lifted her head with difficulty, her red, tearful eyes full of hatred while she stared at Nangong Shuangshuang, her hoarse voice filled with malice.

"I’ve always loyally served the Empress, never harboring a shred of ill intent, yet you, venomous maid, treat me so despicably. You’ll die a miserable death! I’ll tell the Emperor, I’ll tell the Emperor that you abuse your power, and harm innocent people!"

"Innocent people?" Nangong Shuangshuang stood up straight with a slight smile, "Nanny Yun, doesn’t saying that make you feel guilty? I don’t want to waste time with you, nor do I want to wrangle words with you.

Do you think your malicious conduct was so hidden that no one could see through it, or do you believe the person backing you can truly save your entire family?"

As Nangong Shuangshuang spoke, she took an entire set of white porcelain teapots from the table, the very set Jing Jieyu had been using these days for honey water.

Nangong Shuangshuang picked up one of the porcelain cups, showing Nanny Yun its bottom, and laughed lightly, "Nanny Yun, although your two sons are married, they have no children yet. Your daughter hasn’t married either. What do you think if I use this set, preparing honey water daily, letting your three children use it to drink daily, until the hard candy at the cup’s base fully dissolves into the water, letting your three children finish drinking it all?"

"No, you can’t, you can’t do this!" Nanny Yun’s eyes grew wider with Nangong Shuangshuang’s narration, her face covered in terror, her head shaking continuously, her voice hoarse and screaming. She knew too well the secret of that cup.

The person who gave her the cup had told her that a pregnant person drinking from it for more than ten days would have a deformed baby. Drinking past a month, one would never be able to bear children again, and one’s health would deteriorate, greatly reducing their lifespan.

Moreover, the individual who provided the cup and kettle informed her that the sugar inside these porcelain sets could last for half a year steeping in water. Now, Jing Jieyu hadn’t used it for over twenty days. If the remaining sugar were consumed by her children, there would be no maintaining their lineage, not even expecting to live past thirty would be a dream. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Initially, such a poisonous scheme was too hurtful to use, too evil. Nanny Yun couldn’t bear to, but the person behind the scenes held such high powers; if she didn’t act, her family would surely die. But if she did, her children would have bright futures.

For reassurance, the opposition first promoted Nanny Yun’s two sons and daughter. Seeing her children already benefiting, Nanny Yun’s heart wavered. For her children’s sake, she finally decided to take a risk.

However, Nanny Yun didn’t expect to be caught so soon, her deceit revealed, even her malicious methods known by Jing Jieyu.

Looking at the tearful Nanny Yun, Nangong Shuangshuang softly advised, "Nanny Yun, now that your schemer is exposed, I urge you to confess everything. Otherwise, you won’t face any good outcomes."

Nanny Yun didn’t lift her head; she just looked at the fingers and ears of her two sons in the box, crying. Nanny Yun dared not confess; not that she didn’t want to, but the person supporting her had too high a status. She dared not speak it aloud. If she didn’t speak, she’d die. If she did, her family couldn’t survive. So Nanny Yun could only cry silently.

Seeing Nanny Yun like that, Nangong Shuangshuang could tell what she was thinking and let out a sneer, "Nanny Yun, you really do prefer to drink penal wine instead of toasting wine. Your silence merely relies on Lady’s kindness.

The harem knows well, our Empress is the most easy-going among all the masters, and the only one who never harshly punishes palace maids or eunuchs, who never had a servant beaten to death, who never demoted a single servant to the Violence Room.

That’s why all the servants in the harem envy the palace maids and eunuchs of Yingyue Palace, all wanting to serve by the Empress’s side. Those serving the Empress are all loyal due to her generous kindness.

Nanny Yun, your reluctance to confess is just based on the belief that the kindhearted Empress, even when angry, would only kill you alone, whereas if you confess, the person who manipulated you would kill your entire family. Do you think you’re bullying our Empress’s kindness?"

Nanny Yun’s head hung even lower; this was precisely what she thought, beyond dispute. Nangong Shuangshuang’s anger turned into laughter at her resigned display, "Nanny Yun, you think the Empress is kind, but what you’ve done exceeds her tolerance for kindness.

Do you know what kind of situation the Empress would face once she gives birth to a deformed child? The Emperor would blame the Empress for bearing a demon, affecting the country’s fortune, and might never see the Empress again or even bestow her poison wine or white silk.

Even if the Empress dies, her father’s political enemies would seize this opportunity to tell the Emperor to root out the Empress’s family, citing the national downfall due to the birth of a demon.

You executed this vicious plan, cutting off the lives and futures of the Empress’s entire family. Why would you think the Empress would be merciful, sparing your family?"

Before Nanny Yun, trembling with fear from Nangong Shuangshuang’s words, could respond, an infuriated Jing Jieyu slammed the table, directly ordering Chun Sheng by her side, "Chun Sheng, take my token and immediately leave the palace.

Go and inform my father, arrest Nanny Yun’s entire family. Each day Nanny Yun refuses to confess, execute one, regardless of elder or child, until all are dead. Nanny Yun, let’s see if you, this venomous old maid, can watch your family perish and continue to stubbornly refuse confession!"
