Qiu Huan trembled all over, shrinking back without daring to make a sound, until she heard Nanny Wang bow and comply. Only then did she hastily look up at Nanny Wang for help.
Seeing Qiu Huan's demeanor, Nanny Wang knew that Qiu Huan must have stolen Chun Tao's jade pendant and earrings while taking her undergarments.
Nanny Wang's heart sank to the bottom. She was the nanny most trusted by Madam Dong and the most respected nanny in the Dong Mansion. She never imagined her niece would be so short-sighted and audacious to commit such a deed, making her feel utterly ashamed.
Nanny Wang hoped Qiu Huan could understand deep down that as long as Chun Tao's reputation was preserved, her life could be spared. Otherwise, she would never be able to stay in the Dong Mansion again.
Just as Nanny Wang left, Bai Qingyan asked Qiu Huan, "Luo Fugui said... on the twentieth of August, you arranged for him to meet Chun Tao. Is that true?"
