Zhou Wanwan took the lady's pulse and said, "Madam's illness is not a serious problem; it can be treated with a little care."

The wealthy man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! I didn't expect you to be able to take a pulse at such a young age!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I've learned a little, but my skills are not yet proficient."

The wealthy man sighed and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to trouble yourself with my child."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and led Chen Ankang out.

After they went outside, Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said, "Find a few inconspicuous trees to keep an eye on here."

The Old Scholar Tree found two Xiao Tao, and Zhou Wanwan left with Chen Ankang.

When she returned, she looked at Chen Ankang and asked, "Did you notice anything wrong today?"

Chen Ankang squinted and said:

"I always felt that the wealthy man was lying, and that the wet nurse was suspicious."

That lady's problem is quite serious too; the three of them are probably involved in the boy's whereabouts.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and asked, "Who do you think did this?"

Chen Ankang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Just wait here. Someone will definitely come tonight, and you'll find out then."

Chen Ankang was baffled; she couldn't understand what Zhou Wanwan was saying.

Today's case is indeed problematic, but he doesn't know what the problem is.

As expected, Zheng Xing'an entered that evening with a veiled person.

Zheng Xing'an smiled and said, "Miss is right after all; the wealthy man's wife wants to see you."

Soon, the wealthy man's wife entered. She removed her veil, looked at Zhou Wanwan, and said, "My name is Song Rusheng. Hello, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "You know me?"

Song Rusheng nodded and said, "I've heard a little about it. I've heard that Miss Zhou's fortune-telling is very accurate. Could you tell my fortune?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"I do three divinations a day, and I've finished today's."

I'm just a little curious, why did you hide your own son?

Song Rusheng stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "So you did know."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "That rich man said your leg was inconvenient, but actually your leg is perfectly fine, right?"

Song Rusheng was silent for a moment before saying, "I didn't hide my son on purpose; that woman forced me to."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "You mean the wet nurse?"

Song Rusheng nodded, tears slowly streaming down his face:

"This woman is no ordinary wet nurse; she is my husband's lover, and the two of them have been having an affair for a long time."

To make it easier for my husband to have an affair with her, he directly made her my son's wet nurse.

If she hadn't done anything to my son, I wouldn't have taken him away. She spoiled him to death, causing a rift between us.

I hate them so much I could grind my teeth.

What did the child do wrong? Then I came up with this idea.

They often gave me a drug that made me drowsy.

I took advantage of their inattention and secretly carried the child away. The two guards in front were my men.

"Of course I won't tell anyone. I came here today to ask you, could you please not reveal this matter?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "If that's the case, why don't you leave him?"

Song Rusheng sighed and said:

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. I invested all my dowry in his business."

Later, when I had nothing left, he gave me ten taels of silver every month.

He never told me how the business was doing or how much he made, and I never saw any money.

You probably can't imagine, but the place we're living in right now is rented.

We are actually quite wealthy, but we don't own any assets.

He once said, "If I dare to leave him, I will have nothing."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow. There were quite a few scumbags in ancient times, just as many as in modern times.

Thankfully, there was no insurance in ancient times. If there had been, wouldn't there have been even more cases of men killing their wives for insurance money?

It is evident that modern men and men in ancient times still have many things in common.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and looked at her, saying, "Do you want to be completely free?"

Song Rusheng stared blankly at the little girl in front of him. Zhou Wanwan pushed a contract towards her and said:

"I can solve everything for you, but I want 20% of your family fortune."

If you'd like, just sign here.

Song Rusheng's eyes lit up as he looked at the contract:

You mean you can help me acquire a lot of wealth?

"It's no use. Zhao Hu is very clever; he doesn't own any assets at all. I already checked that."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Song Rusheng and said, "Once you sign, you don't need to check these things; I will."

Song Rusheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

You also need to think carefully about what you really want.

Do you want to continue living with him like this, or do you want to divorce him?

Song Rusheng was stunned. "Divorce? I... I can choose to divorce?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

Whether or not to divorce is up to you; I'm just giving you advice.

But if you don't get a divorce, wouldn't you feel depressed living like this every day?

What I can guarantee is that I will investigate his assets, and then you will receive what you are rightfully entitled to.

"With money, who would want to live this kind of life with him? I'm exhausted from acting every day."

"You have no idea how outrageous they were. Every day after I took my medicine, they would do whatever they wanted to me in bed. I... Waaah..." Song Rusheng sobbed uncontrollably.

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes. What a scumbag!

Song Rusheng signed the papers directly. Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Then you should go back and wait for news! I need a day to sort out our assets."

Song Rusheng didn't actually believe the child's words. She went home and had just lain down when she heard noises coming from the other room.

Zhao Hu hugged the wet nurse and said, "You little vixen, you're getting more and more restless these days."

The wet nurse wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Brother Tiger, don't you like me like this?"

Zhao Hu put his arm around her and chuckled, "I like it, of course I do!"

"Don't you think it's exciting to have your sister in this room and us doing this here?"

Zhao Hu chuckled and said, "Your quirk is really something... what if it gets discovered?"

The wet nurse giggled:

Tiger, what are you afraid of?

She's just a cripple; what can she do when she's confined to bed all day? Even if she heard, so what?

Zhao Hu gently pinched her nose. "After a while, I'll make you my secondary wife."

The wet nurse said somewhat discontentedly, "A concubine? I thought you'd be the principal wife! You have no feelings for her, why can't I be the principal wife?"

Zhao Hu looked at her and said, "Don't be ungrateful. Being a concubine is already quite good. She can only be the principal wife."

The wet nurse said helplessly, "Alright! Don't be angry, I promise you."
