"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Gao was woken up and opened her eyes, her eyes still a little dazed.
Where is she? Is she dead? No, no, no, she should still be alive.
Were you dreaming just now?
But is it really just a dream?
Zhixia looked at Madam Yang Er worriedly, "Madam? Madam?"
Yang Gao came to her senses and finally remembered that she had just given birth. She waved her hand and said, "Nothing, just a nightmare. Where's Madam He?"
"Mammy has gone to make arrangements for our return to the capital. I heard you mumbling when I first came in. I couldn't make out what you were saying, but you accidentally broke the teacup. Fortunately, you weren't hurt."
Yang Gao breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't hear it. "Go check on Guo Hui and her daughter first."
When Zhixia heard the lady calling her cousin by her name, she looked a little surprised.
After all, her wife felt the most sorry for this cousin who had lost her father and mother. Before this, when this cousin lived in the Gao family, the mistress, who had been ill for a long time, had not yet died and had taken good care of her sister's daughter.
Zhixia felt that the lady's attitude towards her cousin seemed to have changed a little, but she still respectfully stepped out and walked towards her cousin.
After Zhixia left, Yang Gao quickly lifted up the baby's foot to check, and sure enough, there was a red mole.
She was afraid that her words would be heard by others, so she covered her mouth and cried, "Guo Hui, Nanny He, I treated you well, why did you harm me like this? Guo Hui, you are my cousin, and my grandfather despised your aunt for eloping and disowned you and your aunt. It was my Gao family who took you in and found a good husband for you. Why did you harm my daughter like this! Even if you mistakenly switched the children, she is still your niece! You shouldn't have tortured her and let her die at such a young age!"
Yang Gao looked at the baby girl sleeping soundly, and thought of her own daughter in her dream who was skinny, disfigured and despised. Her heart ached, and she could no longer feel any motherly love for the baby girl.
She cried softly, "God must have mercy on me, allowing me to dream of the scene before my death in advance, so that I won't be kept in the dark by this lowly slave. I disdain to harm a baby who doesn't know anything yet, but in this life, you will return to the Lin family."
Zhixia quickly lifted the curtain and came in, followed by Nanny He.
Nanny He called out, "Madam, why are you crying? You can't cry while you're in confinement!"
Yang Gao wiped away her tears and smiled gently, "Madam, you're right. I couldn't help crying when I saw my daughter sleeping so soundly."
Nanny He also looked at the baby tenderly and said, "The young lady is so beautiful. She is worthy of being the daughter of our Duke's Mansion."
Yang Gao pinched the quilt hard with her hands under the bed, suppressing her hatred as she dealt with Nanny He. On the surface, she trusted Nanny He, but secretly she wanted to kill this vicious woman!
After Nanny He left, Yang Gao lowered her voice and said to Zhixia seriously, "Zhixia, I rescued you from your father. I believe you won't betray me. From now on, secretly monitor Nanny He and Guo Hui's every move to find out what their private relationship is. Don't let them find out. This matter is between you and me, don't let anyone else know."
Zhixia said in a low and serious voice, "From the moment Madam saved me from that gambling father and prevented me from entering that filthy place, my life is yours. I will do whatever you command."
Yang Gao naturally trusted Zhixia, because in her dream, it was Zhixia who discovered that Nanny He had swapped the baby girls, and found out that Guo Hui had sent her daughter away to marry off early and that she had died at the hands of a concubine.
Upon hearing this, Yang Gao was heartbroken and sent someone to send the concubine to jail. Before she could do anything else, she suddenly fell seriously ill and became unable to speak.
Originally, I wanted Zhixia to tell the master and sons about the matter, but Zhixia suddenly died. Nanny He said that Zhixia caught a cold and didn't survive, so she passed away.
