What Was the Wet Nurse's Background, Anyway?

Zhou Wanwan followed the instructions of the flower and unexpectedly found a remote location.

She carried a few dishes inside and saw a fat boy with big ears sitting on the doorstep.

He stared intently at the food in Zhou Wanwan's arms and asked, "Did my mother ask you to bring me food?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I put these things here."

The boy shouted:

"You dog of a servant, you're so late! Do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

Didn't my mother tell you to call me Young Master?

Goodness, this wet nurse is incredibly bold.

Zhou Wanwan obediently replied, "Young Master, I'll head back now."

When they returned to the courtyard, Zhou Wanwan still found it unbelievable, because in ancient times, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and a servant was a servant.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to do this. Just who is this wet nurse?

Zhou Wanwan also found it strange. She was exhausted after a long day and went straight to bed to rest. In the middle of the night, she heard noises outside.

"Waaah... My child, who was that heartless bastard who fed you this? Quickly, get the doctor here!" the wet nurse cried from outside.

Zhou Wanwan then woke up and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat. Lingbao... hey! I wonder where that guy went."

After a while, Lingbao was seen riding back on a large wolfhound, wobbling back.

Lingbao sighed and said, "I'm exhausted. This wolfhound is no good! It can't carry as much as the Donkey Friend. I went to the side hall more than ten times today and only brought back this little bit of stuff. I'm so angry!"

Zhou Wanwan opened the bed sheet and saw that under the bed were all sorts of bags.

Zhou Wanwan quickly said:

"Thank you so much. Please call our carriage in quickly and load all these things onto it. If we're late, we won't be able to escape."

Lingbao, next time you do something, you must tell me beforehand, otherwise you'll easily catch me off guard.

Fortunately, Liu Dalang, Zhou Qingyan, Zhou Qinghe, and Zhou Qingchen came to pick her up today.

Zhou Wanwan told them to take their things away. Just as they were finishing tidying up, the wet nurse rushed over and said, "Zhou Wanwan, did you bring food to my son?"

Zhou Wanwan frowned at the wet nurse and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Madam Cheng was standing nearby, looked at her and said, "Caigu, don't rush, tell me slowly! Your wet nurse said she brought you dinner today, did you see anyone bring you dinner?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "No, I'm starving. I was planning to go home."

The wet nurse shouted, "You're talking nonsense! I clearly brought you food, and you even brought the food to my son, which has made him so weak from diarrhea!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her in disbelief and said, "What son? I... I just got here, I don't know anything about sons."

Madam Cheng looked at her and said:

"Caigu, she's only 5 years old, how could she have so many tricks up her sleeve?"

Besides, how would she know where your son lives?

The wet nurse looked at her and said, "This little girl is quite remarkable! Madam, I don't think she's suitable to stay by the young lady's side."

Madam Cheng shook her head and said, "I think Wanwan is quite nice, especially since Yueyao likes her."

The wet nurse smiled faintly and said, "I asked Miss Yueyao about it today, and Yueyao told me that this woman is vulgar and uncouth, and she doesn't like her."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"But today Miss Yueyao asked me to stay and keep her company."

I didn't expect to fall asleep right after eating. I wonder if it was the pastry that caused it?

The wet nurse shouted loudly:

"Stop talking nonsense. Miss Yueyao was born prematurely and is not in good health."

That's why I often feel sleepy. You don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "But I know medicine! There really was morning glory seeds in this osmanthus cake."

"Fine! You know medicine? I told you you were the one who killed my son, and I was right, wasn't I?"

"If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be like this now!" the wet nurse exclaimed.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

What does your son's condition have to do with me?

I have no grudge against him, why would I feed him poisoned food?

The wet nurse continued, "That's because you dislike me, so you want to take revenge on my son."

Zhou Wanwan looked up at her and said, "How about this? We can go directly to the government and see what's going on?"

The wet nurse looked at her and said:

"You don't need to find anyone in the government if you've released this medicine."

"Then you must have this kind of medicine in your room. Do you dare let us search it?"

It turns out these people just wanted to search her room.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "I don't have any problem with that, but it's not fair to search me. What if you're the one who made this medicine?"

The wet nurse looked at her and said, "Fine, fine, you little brat, you're too sharp-tongued for me to argue with. If you want to search, then you can search my room too."

Madam Cheng nodded and said, "Alright! Old Zhao, have a few dozen people search their rooms thoroughly."

Zhou Wanwan quickly said, "No, please. Everyone in this mansion knows her. It's not fair to me to do that."

Madam Cheng nodded and said, "That's true. I'll go find the yamen runners at the county office!"

Soon more than ten yamen runners arrived and began ransacking the room.

The woman said softly, "Little girl, you've got some nerve. You're going to be in trouble soon."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Oh? I'm quite curious, what kind of bad luck will I have?"

The woman sneered, "Of course you poisoned my son! Do you think someone like you would stay? Just you wait!"

Suddenly, a constable was heard say, "We found several packets of medicinal herbs here, but we don't know what's inside."

A strange smile appeared on the wet nurse's lips, "Old foxes are shrewder; you dare to mess with me? No way."

Madam Cheng frowned and said:

"Let the doctor come and take a look. What exactly are these things?"

Wanwan, I trust you completely, so please don't let me down!

The young ladies from wealthy families were also watching the commotion in the courtyard. Lu Lan sneered, "You brat, I knew she wasn't simple-minded. She actually dared to swindle my gold and silver jewelry."

Wen Zhiyu sneered:

"Isn't that your own fault for being stupid?"

We can't even beat a child, but he's only five years old and his handwriting is much better than ours, so he's quite impressive."

Lu Lan chuckled and said:

"Impressive? Let's see if she dares to be arrogant again."

Now that they've even found the poison, she can expect to be kicked out of the Cheng family mansion!

The doctor arrived quickly, and just as he was about to speak, another constable rushed over and said, "A large pile of medicinal herbs was also found in the next room, but we don't know what's in that box now?"

The wet nurse blinked, frowned, and said, "You think you can find medicinal herbs in my room? Your eyesight must be terrible!"
