Gu Yundong was relieved to see her cautious look.
She took out what Yang Zhifu gave her. "This is what my grandpa gave me. You should have seen it before."
Nanny Sun narrowed her eyes and instantly straightened her back. She had naturally seen it before. This was a seal that Old Master Yang had always taken good care of. He cherished it very much and would not easily hand it over to outsiders.
Nanny Sun carefully sized up Gu Yundong for a moment. From the looks of it, he indeed resembled Old Madam Yang.
She exhaled and said, "I believe in Miss Cousin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Shao Qingyuan gave her a pill. "Eat this first. This pill will make your throat feel better." She might have to talk a lot later.
"There’s no need to be nervous, Nanny Sun. The questions I asked are not very secretive." Gu Yundong smiled and said, "I want to know if Master Ren had a concubine surnamed Chang by his side back then."
Concubine Chang??
Nanny Sun frowned and thought about it carefully. Then, she shook her head. "No, Master only has two concubines. One was introduced by Madam, and the other was taken by him. Both of them don’t have the surname Chang."
The county magistrate was not very interested in women, but the young master...
Huh??
Nanny Sun was stunned. She suddenly raised her head and said, "There’s no concubine surnamed Chang among Master’s concubines. On the other hand, Young Master once took in an Aunt Chang."
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. "Do you still remember what Aunt Chang looked like?"
"Aunt Chang isn’t very tall and speaks softly. I don’t remember what she looks like. I remember that her eyes are quite big. Oh right, her ears are especially small. I remember Young Master saying that he likes Aunt Chang’s small ears. They look very exquisite."
Nanny Sun was a little old after all. In addition, it had been so many years, and they had rarely seen each other. Her memory was naturally very blurry, and she could only remember a few characteristics.
Small ears?
Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes. That was her.
Aunt Chang, who was standing in front of the county magistrate yesterday, happened to have her ears facing her because of the angle. The ears were indeed petite and not too tall. It matched what Nanny Sun said.
"Do you know how Madam Chang became Young Master Ren’s concubine?"
"I know." Nanny Sun nodded. "Back then, this matter caused quite a commotion in the residence."
"How so?"
"The Chang family lives in a small village in Dama County, which is some distance away from here. The Chang family is poor, and the Chang family’s parents are rogues. They are lazy and have a bad reputation. Madam Chang also has an elder brother who is five or six years older than her. He’s almost twenty years old and has yet to get married. Everyone says that Brother Chang will be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
Shao Qingyuan, who was also not married until 20 years old, was speechless.
Nanny Sun did not notice his expression and continued, "Madam Chang’s parents thought that since Madam Chang was good-looking, they could marry her off and demand money as a betrothal gift to her brother. Many people would take a fancy to Madam Chang, but when they heard about the Chang family’s situation, they were all unhappy, especially since the Chang family wanted a lot of betrothal money."
Nanny Sun sighed and shook her head. There was some pity in her tone. "Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be willing to marry into such a family. If I married Madam Chang, I might have to provide for the entire family and be sucked dry by others. Therefore, Madam Chang hadn’t found anyone to marry after 15 or 16 years old."
