Chapter 171
“You want to know about Madam?” Margaret asked, looking at Renee and sighing. “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I don’t really know her either, and I’ve never met her properly.”
“Really?”
“Yes,” Margaret replied as she took a trip down memory lane and answered honestly. “I grew up and was homeschooled in my family. My family has always served the Schneider family, so when Madam found me and told me to apply to become a nanny. to care for your pregnant mother and eventually you, I listened to them unconditionally.”
“She was very mysterious. She never appeared publicly and always wore a veil when she met me. That’s why I said I probably. never met her properly…”
Even after decades, Margaret could still vividly remember the day she had met Madam Everheart.
The woman had been unique. There was no word to describe her, and ‘beautiful‘ was not enough. Even the veil she wore could
not cover up her exceptional charm.
When I came to the Everheart family, she had already left. As to where she might’ve gone… Master, Sir, and even Ma’am were silent, and no one ever mentioned it.”
Renee hung her head and said, “Yeah. Grandpa and my parents never told me about Grandma. There are also no pictures of her at home, but I know they miss her a lot. I always wanted to know what happened to Grandma that made her leave her family.”
Renee had hoped that Margaret would have some useful information, but it seemed like her nanny was also about the same level when it came to this!
From various sources, she had pieced together a picture. She knew that the Schneider family, from the side of her grandmother, Lilliana, was one of the oldest and most mysterious families in the distant North City. The once glorious family had disappeared into the wind for some reason, and no one dared mention them.
“If you really want to understand anything about Madam, I’m afraid you’ll have to personally make a trip to North City.”
Margaret suddenly thought of something and asked Renee, “Did you find the quilt, Miss Ren? I vaguely recall Mrs. Everheart saying that Madam specially sewed this for you before she left. She also personally embroidered the pattern, so perhaps you. might find some clues.”
“I found it, but… there’s been a situation,” Renee said with a deep frown.
While mentioning the quilt. Renee got so angry she wanted to slap Briar in the face.
She slowly pulled the quilt from her bag and handed it to Margaret, who took it eagerly.
“I didn’t think I would see it again! I knew you’d find it, Miss Ren!”
Margaret was overjoyed and immediately spread the quilt open, but when she saw the curses written all over it, she almost
screamed and tossed it.
“W–was this written in blood? Who did this? How could they?!”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t believe in those things anyway.”
Renee wasn’t afraid. She only felt disgusted at the disaster on her quilt.
The most important thing now was to restore the quilt to its original state.
It took some effort, but Margaret quickly cleaned the words off the quilt, and the pattern embroidered on it became clear.
There were two things on it, the same combination of a phoenix and flowers. Some stripes connected together to form a map. as though guiding Renee to someplace.
*Judging from the shape of the map, it looks to be North City. Perhaps Madam purposely left this behind so you could look for
her?” Margaret guessed, which was also in line with Renee’s thoughts.
However, Renee didn’t think too deeply about it as she kept the quilt and jade pendant away.
“We’ll talk about it later!”
