Peach replaced with plum?
Nanny Zhao truly did not know Sixth Master Gu was this shrewd and resourceful.
After she held her breath and listened to Sixth Master Gu's grand plan, she couldn't help but have a thought—Isn't this just swapping beams and columns? When did it become a case of the peach dying in place of the plum?
But regardless of what this tactic should be called, it seems it's the only way now.
Nanny Zhao answered with a bitter face, saying, "It has troubled you, Sixth Master. As long as the young mistress gets better, I'll do anything."
Gu Jingjun, having learned his lesson from before, suppressed his anger and said to Nanny Zhao, "Though Mrs. Xu and I have had quarrels, she is the mother of my children, my wife, and I should take care of these matters. You thought yourselves clever hiding her illness, making everyone worry for Mrs. Xu, and my mother, at her age, still has to be frightened—this was going too far."
