Nanny Liao never expected Scarlett Jennings would dare to strike.
But in the three months since returning to the mansion, the genuine daughter’s easy-to-handle personality didn’t make her pay much attention to the change.
As a reliable person by the lady’s side, she had a lot of experience dealing with such matters.
Just a little girl, even if she wants to resist, how many people can she actually fight against?
She immediately instructed the people she brought, "Go, make sure Lily listens."
At that, a swarm of people rushed towards Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett Jennings held a maid down with her hand, but her gaze suddenly shifted to Lily Phoenix, who was still trying to muster up the courage.
When Nanny Liao brought people into the courtyard, Scarlett Jennings had already quickly instilled a bit of spiritual light into her.
The spiritual light made her previously ethereal Ghost Body more solid, giving her the power to resist.
Scarlett Jennings taught her the first lesson then,
"When someone kicks the door in, don’t be a coward, hit back directly."
Lily Phoenix didn’t quite understand what being a coward meant specifically, but she vaguely knew Scarlett was teaching her to be brave.
Seeing a group of people rushing towards Scarlett Jennings, Lily Phoenix finally made up her mind, her Ghost Body lunged forward, directly entering the body of the maid Scarlett was pressing down.
Scarlett Jennings let go of her hand accordingly.
Possessed by Lily Phoenix, the maid straightened her waist, turned around, threw her arms wide, and hugged another maid beside her.
"You’re not allowed to hit her!"
The voice wasn’t loud, but it was, after all, a brave first step.
Scarlett Jennings was barely satisfied, and then, taking advantage of everyone’s stunned moment, she lifted her foot and kicked one of the people leading the charge.
A live demonstration of how fighting should be.
Unfortunately, Lily Phoenix had never fought before, she could only control the maid’s body to block those trying to surge forward.
The room instantly turned chaotic, and Scarlett Jennings took advantage of the chaos, rushing swiftly through the crowd, sneaking up on Nanny Liao, twisting her arm behind her back, and then directly instructing,
"Tell them to stop."
Nanny Liao was someone respectable by the lady’s side, never experienced such a thing, her expression twisted, careless of other details, telling the people in the room to stop.
A group of incompetents, so many people dealing with one, and even let her directly run up to me.
And what’s up with that maid? Suddenly switching sides?
A bizarre feeling rose in Nanny Liao’s heart; before she could figure it out, Scarlett suddenly leaned close to her ear, speaking in a voice only they could hear,
"It seems like your grandson recently ran into something unclean, first having nightmares and convulsions, then a continuous fever. If left unchecked, losing a soul might leave him mentally impaired for life..."
Nanny Liao’s face changed when she heard her mention her precious grandson, wanting to reprimand her for the source of the news; but hearing the latter part, an inexplicable chill ran down her spine.
Because her grandson indeed first had nightmares and convulsions then continuously fevered.
If truly as she said, wouldn’t her grandson...
At this moment, she finally recognized that Miss Lily was up to something, and that maid, initially about to act but suddenly helping her, was indeed off.
Nanny Liao dared not gamble, so she restrained herself, her tone lower, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing her relent, Scarlett Jennings straightforwardly let her go, "I won’t make things difficult for you, just go with you to see the lady, but you must be courteous to me."
...
A quarter-hour later.
