Jiang Ningwei's slightly agitated mood eased a bit. She tilted her head and asked, "It hid itself? Didn't Madam snatch it?"
She pointed her finger backward in the direction of Madam.
Madam quickly shook her head. She had never snatched any wooden horse from her...
"Then who told Eldest Sister that Madam snatched your wooden horse?"
Jiang Sihe thought it was strange. Eldest Sister should have been well taken care of. It was impossible for her to barge into the ancestral hall without a single maid at this time.
"It... it... I can't remember..."
Jiang Ningwei suddenly got a bit agitated again. She shook her head vigorously...
Jiang Sihe knew that she couldn't get any useful information from Jiang Ningwei. Moreover, it seemed that making her think about those things would stimulate her emotions.
"Miss, why did you come here?"
An old nanny in gray clothes ran in from the entrance of the ancestral hall. She quickened her steps and glared at Madam.
"What is Madam up to this time?"
Jiang Sihe was puzzled. How could a nanny from the second branch dare to be so disrespectful to the mistress? However, what happened next left her even more confused.
Madam said in a very gentle tone, "Nanny Chang, she seems to be stimulated. Should we call a doctor for her?"
"We don't need your false kindness. Our second branch can afford a doctor. Naturally, we wouldn't dare to let Madam call one..."
After saying that, Nanny Chang stepped forward to pull Jiang Ningwei.
"I'm not going back. I'm looking for my wooden horse. It's hiding..."
Jiang Ningwei didn't want to leave and dodged Nanny Chang.
"Miss, come back with Nanny. Nanny will make you a new wooden horse..."
After hearing this, Jiang Ningwei resisted even more. "No, I only want my wooden horse..."
On her beautiful little face, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly. She looked extremely aggrieved.
"You said you'd take me to find the wooden horse. Let's go look for it?"
Jiang Sihe said to Nanny Chang, "Nanny, what does Eldest Sister's wooden horse look like?"
Nanny Chang didn't give Jiang Sihe a good look. "It's our second branch's business. Your first branch should mind your own business..."
After saying that, regardless of Jiang Ningwei's unwillingness, she dragged her out forcefully...
Jiang Ningwei's eyes twitched. Suddenly, she pushed Nanny Chang away and rushed towards Madam. Before anyone could react, she had already grabbed Madam's neck with both hands...
"Let go quickly..."
Nanny Qiu came to her senses immediately after being stunned. She grabbed Jiang Ningwei's arms with both hands and tried to pull her away. But Jiang Ningwei seemed to be stimulated by something. She exerted so much force with her arms that it was impossible to pull her away...
Jiang Sihe also rushed over. She observed Jiang Ningwei's expression. It was very different from before. Her eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that she had been stimulated.
Nanny Qiu was too eager to protect her mistress. She raised her elbow and hit Jiang Ningwei on the back of the neck. Jiang Ningwei fainted...
As her body went limp, Jiang Sihe quickly caught her and helped her lie on the ground first.
Only then did Nanny Chang come to her senses. She rushed in a few steps and pointed at Nanny Qiu and scolded, "You blind fool. How dare you knock out the young miss..."
Madam finally took a breath and then coughed violently...
Jiang Sihe quickly got up to help her calm down and fetched a cup of warm tea.
After Madam finally caught her breath, Jiang Sihe handed over the warm tea. "Mother, do you still feel uncomfortable? Would you like to drink some tea?"
At this moment, her throat was dry and she really needed some warm water to moisten it...
At this time in the ancestral hall, the two nannies were entangled and fighting.
Nanny Chang grabbed Nanny Qiu's hair. Nanny Qiu was not willing to be outdone. She directly scratched a bloodstain on Nanny Chang's neck.
Seeing that Madam was okay, Jiang Sihe quickly said, "Mother, Eldest Sister needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. If we delay, I'm afraid..."
Madam quickly nodded. She was just about to speak, but her throat still hurt a bit. Seeing this, Jiang Sihe had no choice but to turn around and say sternly.
"Stop it all. Our mistress is still ill, and yet you're still so careless..."
The two were awakened by Jiang Sihe's stern shout and stopped their hands.
Nanny Chang quickly checked on the young miss on the ground. Nanny Qiu also quickly came over to check on Madam's situation.
"Madam, are you okay? I was so anxious just now that I lost my manners..."
"Alright, what's the use of saying these things now? Hurry up and call a doctor..."
Nanny Qiu's hair bun was in a complete mess. When she nodded, she looked rather comical...
"Wang Mingyi, what did you do to my daughter?"
The voice at the door made Jiang Sihe turn her head. A tall woman was wearing a light purple wide-sleeved front-buttoned long dress. Her hair was neatly coiled in a beautiful bun. Her face was slightly long, and her eyebrows and eyes carried a hint of harshness.
"Second Madam, they knocked out the young miss..."
Second Madam. From this address, Jiang Sihe knew that this was the wife of the second branch, Shen Yunzhao.
Madam didn't say a word. Her expression was a bit evasive. She moved a few steps to the side and murmured, "It's not what you think..."
"Then what is it? Now my daughter is lying on the ground. My nanny said with her own mouth that you knocked her out. Could it be that we've wronged you?"
"No, please listen to my explanation. Actually, it's Ningwei who..."
"Wang Mingyi, shut up. I don't want to hear a single word from you at this moment..."
After Second Madam Shen said that, she squatted down to check on Jiang Ningwei's situation first. "Has the doctor been called?"
She was asking Nanny Chang.
"Not... not yet..."
Second Madam raised her hand and slapped Nanny Chang. "Useless thing. I told you to take good care of Ningwei. Is this how you did it?"
Nanny Chang quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. "It's this servant's fault. Please calm down, Second Madam..."
"Get out and call a doctor quickly..."
Nanny Chang responded and quickly got up and ran outside. She staggered when she reached the door. If it weren't for Second Madam's personal maid at the door who helped her, she might have fallen flat on her back...
"Tinglan, Tingyue, come and help the young miss back!"
"Yes!"
The two maids beside Second Madam stepped forward and helped Jiang Ningwei up together with Second Madam.
"Aunt, Eldest Sister shouldn't be moved at this moment..."
Jiang Sihe meant well, but she got a cold look from Second Madam.
Madam grabbed her sleeve, indicating that she shouldn't interfere in the second branch's business.
When Second Madam Shen reached the door, she turned around again and said coldly, "Wang Mingyi, this matter isn't over. My daughter has been wronged for no reason. Your first branch must give me an explanation..."
Hearing this, Madam didn't show any reaction. Instead, she slightly avoided Second Madam's gaze.
"I'll give the second branch and Ningwei an explanation. I won't let Ningwei be wronged. When Ningwei gets better, I'll definitely take Nanny Qiu to the second branch to apologize. As for the punishment, we'll listen to the second branch then..."
Shen snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. She took her daughter and left the ancestral hall!
Jiang Sihe was a bit strange. Why did Madam seem to be a bit afraid of Second Madam? Clearly, Madam was the mistress of the family. With Madam's family background, Second Madam should have been a bit more in awe. But the strange thing was that with Second Madam acting like this, Madam kept tolerating...
"Mother, you were also injured. And this matter today is a bit strange. You shouldn't just admit it like this..."
"Sihe, you don't need to interfere in this matter. I know what I'm doing..."
