Quick Transmigration: Cold Tyrant Chasing The Goddesss Around the World

Arc 1.18 The Chief's Daughter

Yi Lei Fang pouted at Nanny Lu, acting like a spoiled child. Yi Lei Fang got a good look at this Nanny Lu that she received information in the original owner's memory. An elderly woman who has wrinkles on her square face, aging white hair, gentle grey eyes, thin lips, and a button nose. Nanny Lu only reached Yi Lei Fang's chest making her look like a cute granny.

Nanny Lu and her son Lu Yubai were taken in by Madame Yu. They were not sold as slaves or treated as servants, instead, they were treated as family. Nanny Lu was the one who delivered Yi Lei Fang and had been keeping an eye on Yi Lei Fang until Yi Lei Fang turned seven years old. Lu Yubai was grateful to the Yi Family for supporting his mother and him while he was busy studying for the imperial exam. Nanny Lu would get paid from working in the Yi family and use that money for her son's studies. Nanny Lu would have stayed longer with the Yi family but during that time Lu Yubai was seventeen, he went to the capital to take his exam. After passing the imperial exam, he was directly appointed as the left prime minister. Lu Yubai decided to settle down in the capital due to his occupation. After many years of taking care of Yi Lei Fang, Nanny Lu reluctantly left to the capital to lived with her son. Nonetheless, Yi Lei Fang and Nanny Lu would write to each other to keep in touch. This indicated how close their relationship was.

Yi Lei Fang didn't hear Nanny Lu greeted her family and Guan Yu as she was preoccupied with her thoughts. Then Nanny Lu's booming voice woke up Yi Lei Fang. "You troublesome young lady what is this nonsense of a rumor you are talking about!?"

Yi Lei Fang quickly adjusted her mind as she tries to calm Nanny Lu by gently rubbing her back. Yi Lei Fang forced an innocent smile and tilted her head. "What rumor Nanny Lu?"

Nanny Lu frown. "Just because I am getting old, that does not mean I am deaf! I came to surprise you after reading your letter and when I arrived in the Village. I have been hearing the villagers questioning about your organs gender and later I just found out recently from the servant in the front gate saying your engagement was called off and suggested for Yi Mei to be engaged instead!?"

Yi Lei Fang fiddles with her finger as she apologize. "Nanny Lu, I did not want you to worry."

Nanny Lu control her rage and sighed. "Xiao Fang, ever since I left to live with my stupid son I have been always worry about you. But knowing that your loved ones are there for you while I am gone, it made my heart ease down a little bit." Nanny Lu gently patted Yi Lei Fang's hand and continue, "Fang'er, how come you did not notify me about this. If I were to have known about this sooner I would have requested the emperor to investigate this."

Hearing this, Yi Mei face paled. These were just rumors that Yi Mei had spread, she did not think that it would go this far as to have the Emperor of the Wu Ning get involved!

Yi Mei anxiously interjected, "Nanny Lu, it is not appropriate to involve the Emperor. This is only about the rumor regarding of Tang Jie. The Emperor is probably busy handling other important official stuff to care about an insignificant rumor."

The two Yi elder brothers, Madame Yu, Chief Yi Yang, and Nanny Lu's face darkened. Nanny Lu narrow her eyes at Yi Mei. She provocatively questioned Yi Mei. "Insignificant rumor? Young lady have I need to remind you that rumor can cause the reputation of a Chief's daughter to go down hill and affect the clan. Rumors can also cause alliance to turn against each other. Rumors can also bring war. Rumors can also be an advantage to others in order to gain power. Because of this "insignificant rumor," the engagement was cancelled and if not for Fang'er idea, you would not have been engaged. So please do tell me how this "insignificant rumor" of Chief Yi Yang's daughter not important?"

Yi Mei froze when she saw Nanny Lu's cold eyes shooting at her. Yi Mei was too scared to talk and could only keep her mouth shut.

Nanny Lu moved her eyes away from Yi Mei. Nanny Lu bow towards Guan Yu and says, "Wangye, this lowly subject has a request."

Guan Yu lazily waved his hand, indicating Nanny Lu to continue.

"Wangye, this lowly subject requests this rumor to be investigated. Although it may seem small but this involved Xiao Fang's and the Miao clan's reputation as well as Lu Yubai. Before my son became the left prime minister, the Yi family had been taking care of Lu Yubai and this lowly subject. They have always treated us as family. Please Wangye accept this request from such a lowly subject."

Guan Yu did not show any reaction as he lazily slouched to one side with his right elbow resting on an armrest and his perfectly sculptured face leaning on the back of his hand.

Yi Lei Fang rolled her eyes. She patted Nanny Lu's hand and gently persuaded the elderly woman. "Nanny Lu, its fine. I am a woman now. I am not that naive seven year old girl anymore. I can handle this type of childish rumor. Even if Wangye is not going to help then there is no problem because I can take care of myself. Plus such a childish rumor is not going to ruin my life." Yi Lei Fang scratched her nose and hesitatingly says, "be-besides I am not planning to get married at all..."

When everyone in the hall heard Yi Lei Fang saying that she will not marry, some were shocked and some were happy. Some women even thought Yi Lei Fang is crazy because every woman wants to marry, it is an honor for the family and for oneself.

Unfortunately, Yi Lei Fang is not that type of woman and the mission did not mention anything about finding a lover or getting married.

Then a lazy and baritone voice announced, "Who said benwang would not help?"

All heads turn to Guan Yu. Is Wangye helping? Everyone thought.

Yi Lei Fang narrow her almond eyes and sarcastically says, "When did you say you were helping?"

Wangye is not helping? Everyone kept thinking as their head turn to Yi Lei Fang.

"Benwang is helping but you did not give this benwang a chance to say anything."

Everyone turn their head back to Guan Yu and think to themselves, Ah...Wangye is helping. So generous.

If Yi Lei Fang heard what they were thinking, she would have vomited out blood. Instead, she rolled her eyes and says, "How would I know. You never said you would help. You were just sitting down on the chair like a lazy cat."

The Yi family and Nanny Lu suck in cold air. Is she crazy talking to Wangye like this!? She is going to kill the whole eighteen generations of the Yi family or the whole of the Miao clan if she does not stop her chattering mouth!
