"They were putting on an act?" Stunned, Liu Ya's eyes widened.

Nanny Li was also stunned and her eyes went wide opened for she was speechless: you actually did not even realized it.

Liu Ya's widened eyes were filled with consternation which clearly told Nanny Li: Yes, I did not even realize it, and that thought did not even come to me!

Nanny Li rolled her eyes: Speechless!

Liu Ya's eyes hung low: Sorry!

"Ai! You ah!" Nanny Li sighed deeply and earnestly patted Liu Ya on the shoulder, "You're Ma'am's personal maidservant, and will one day be her right arm! Lass ah, you've much to learn! Like today's incident with Qiuju, you shouldn't have just let her bully you and put Ma'am in a tight spot! You should've forcefully brought her to the Second Mistress right at the scene!"

Liu Ya became startled, "But, but how will I know if she'll be willing to go with me?"

Nanny Li sneered, "Of course she won't be willing to follow you! That's why that would make her admit defeat and beg for your forgiveness to a point that the hand that hit you would have wished it had hit herself instead!"

Liu Ya's eyes glistened. From gaining such a huge enlightenment, Liu Ya stood motionless.

"Liu Ya has received Nanny's teaching and hopes that Nanny will continue to give Liu Ya more pointers! Please teach Liu Ya, Nanny!" Liu Ya's expression was extremely serious. Retreating a few steps back, she bowed to Nanny Li to take her as her teacher.

"Enough, enough! There's no need for this; this old lady doesn't like this!" Like a wise person, Nanny Li went on, "there isn't much to be taught for it's all up to one's awareness! When you safely reach my age, you'll know almost everything you should know!"

Liu Ya became horrified and could not help but secretly took a glimpse at the old wrinkled face of Nanny Li which looked like the flower of a chrysanthemum. A chill ran down her spin and she sweared in her heart that she definitely would not wish to know only after reaching Nanny Li's age!

"Nanny, please teach nubi!" Liu Ya insisted without budging.

Nanny Li frowned and gave Liu Ya a dark look.

However, Liu Ya understood that Nanny Li was a person whose heart was as warm as spring, and so it did not matter even if she would occasionally give a chilly expression. Without fear, Liu Ya faced Nanny Li's expression with a smile and a thought suddenly came up to her which she could not help but blurt out all of a sudden, "If Nanny doesn't mind, nubi can be your foster daughter! And in the future, Liu Ya will see Nanny as her own mother and be filial!"

"What!" Nanny Li's whole body shook, and a sound came out beyond her control. The expression she once wore immediately made a huge change.

'Own mother', those two words were like a hammer that heavily pounded at her heart, shattering the layer of sadness that wrapped around it. An explosion roared in her head and her eyes warm to a point where tears were almost shed.

"Nubi was reckless! Nubi was reckless!" The moment those words got blurted out, Liu Ya immediately knew she was being thoughtless and her face turned red. Hurriedly, she shook her hand and gave a smile, "Nanny, please don't get mad, just see it as nubi——"

"Right." Nanny Li suddenly laughed and blinked her teary eyes. Grinning at Liu Ya, she continued, "You've said it, from today on you'll see this old granny as your own mother and be filial, you'll also have to see this old lady off as your own parent! From today own, you'll be this old granny's foster daughter!"

"Nanny..." Liu Ya was staggered.

"Silly lass, still calling me Nanny!" Nanny Li laughed upon seeing her foolish expression for it was amiable and compassionate before speaking out loud to herself, "But it's also right that we seek the approval of the Mistress, Sir, and Ma'am being before our relationship can be valid!"
