Chapter 1382 I have no choice but to be my concubine (2)

"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what I said clearly?" Wei Shichu looked at the wet nurse coldly.

The wet nurse shuddered when she saw her cold and sharp eyes, and her contempt for Wei Shichu instantly disappeared, because no matter how unfavored Wei Shichu was, she was still Zhao Yiran's concubine and the master, and the wet nurse was a servant. When Wei Shichu was weak and could be bullied, the wet nurse dared to look down on Wei Shichu, but when Wei Shichu became tough, she dared not be disrespectful. After all, wasn't she a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong?

Therefore, when Wei Shichu looked at her coldly, she obediently carried Zhao Lue to Wei Shichu.

Zhao Lue was only two years old, and he was looking at Wei Shichu with a pair of extremely pure eyes. When he saw Wei Shichu looking at him, he immediately showed an innocent smile. Obviously, he remembered his mother.

Wei Shichu brought him over. The child was so soft and fluffy that it made one's heart soften when holding him in his arms, not to mention that he was so beautiful.

"Auntie..." Zhao Lue called in a baby voice.

"Brother Lue, are you hungry?" Wei Shichu asked him with a smile, lowering his head, "Would you like to have dinner with Auntie tonight?"

"Okay, let's eat with aunt!" Zhao Lue was very happy and said impatiently.

The nurse couldn't help but say, "Auntie Wei, the Third Young Master is still young and can't eat the same meals as the adults. He's still drinking milk."

Many children of wealthy and powerful families can drink milk until they are three or four years old, or even until they are seven or eight years old. However, Zhao Lue is only two years old now. According to the custom of the Zhao family, he should mainly drink milk, plus a little bit of complementary food, but it is impossible for him to eat with adults.

But Wei Shichu knew that children should start eating complementary foods after seven or eight months and can eat normal meals with adults when they are over one year old. This is more conducive to supplementing the various nutrients needed for the child's physical development, as well as exercising his teeth and oral chewing power.

If the child is only fed with milk, it is easy for him to be malnourished. Zhao Lue had never been liked by his father and stepmother, and the original owner had no experience in parenting, so naturally no one cared about Zhao Lue's eating problems. So the wet nurse let him drink milk all the time. Until now, his weight has actually been lighter than that of children of the same age, and his body is also thin.

"He's almost two years old, and his teeth are almost all grown. Naturally, he can eat with me, and I can let him slowly stop breastfeeding in the future." Wei Shichu looked at the wet nurse coldly, "Don't think I don't know that you often neglected your duties before, leaving the third young master to the little girl to take care of, and you were lazy and went out to play."

"Auntie, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again!" The nurse panicked. She didn't expect that Wei Shichu had seen everything she did. If Wei Shichu complained to Zhao Yiran or Chen, what would happen to her? ! Even if Wei Shichu and his mother were not favored, it was not the servant's turn to neglect and bully the master. The master and the mistress would definitely not let her off easily!

When the nurse thought of her fate, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "I deserve to die! Auntie, please spare me for the sake of my nursing the Third Young Master..."

Wei Shichu didn't have time to pay attention to her for the time being, so he said, "Get out first, I don't have time to pay attention to you now. If you dare to do it again in the future, I will never let you off easily."

When the wet nurse heard that Wei Shichu had no intention of punishing her for the time being, she quickly rolled out as if escaping, fearing that Wei Shichu would change his mind if she was late for a second.

Wei Shichu ordered Zhichun: "Go and bring back my meal quota. I want to eat with the Third Young Master."

Zhichun took the order and went down.

Zhao Lue was the third child in the family. He had two older brothers and one older sister, all born to Zhao Yiran's legitimate wife Chen. He also had two younger brothers and two younger sisters, born to Zhao Yiran's other three concubines. Among these brothers and sisters, the legitimate ones were highly valued, while the other illegitimate ones had their own mothers who were competitive and favored to help them win favor. Only Zhao Lue was in the middle, and his own mother was not favored. She was like a transparent person, so soft that anyone could step on her, so he was bullied.

Wei Shichu pinched Zhao Lue's soft cheeks, and for a moment he thought about whether he should just escape and let the mother and son leave the Zhao family to live their own lives. In this way, Zhao Lue would be able to completely jump out of the fire pit of the Zhao family and not be constrained everywhere.

As for Wei Shichu herself, it was even more impossible for her to stay in the backyard and fight to the death with a group of women for a dirty man. She had so many cunning skills, she was not here to suffer and be wronged.

After thinking about this, Wei Shichu suddenly understood. So it was impossible to stay and fight with Zhao Yiran's wives and concubines, but it was not so easy to leave the Zhao family.

It was not difficult to escape, but the difficulty was to prepare proper identities for the mother and son, so that Wei Shichu and Zhao Lue could leave the Zhao family without worries about food and clothing, and would not be bullied by anyone.

But no matter what her identity was, it was not safe for a young single mother to live with a child these days. Even if Wei Shichu was able to protect herself, it was annoying enough to deal with the scoundrels who were like flies that swooped down upon smelling blood. If it was just Wei Shichu herself, she could still do it without any scruples, but with Zhao Lue as her child, she had to be careful.

Is there any way to leave with a clear conscience and cut off contact with people like Zhao Yiran?

Wei Shichu had a headache. After thinking for a while, she simply gave up. Zhao Lue was still young, so there was no need to be too anxious. The road would naturally become straight when she reached the bow of the boat. She could always think of a good solution.

So she put all these troubles behind her for the time being and prepared to have dinner with Zhao Lue.

Zhao Lue had only eaten some soft and easy-to-digest supplementary food prepared by his wet nurse, such as egg custard and meat puree, but had never eaten proper meals. Therefore, when Wei Shichu fed Zhao Lue a piece of fish with bones removed, Zhao Lue's eyes immediately lit up, and he savored the strange but wonderful taste in his mouth with surprise.

"Is it delicious?" Wei Shichu asked him softly. The chefs in the Zhao family's kitchen were very skilled. Even the food served to Wei Shichu was delicious.

"It's delicious." Zhao Lue said hurriedly, his face turning red with excitement.

"If it tastes good, eat more. Fish is more nutritious." After picking out the fish bones, Wei Shichu picked up a few pieces of fish for him.

Zhao Lue was not a picky eater, and it was his first time to eat food with so many flavors, so his appetite was greatly increased. He ate all the dishes Wei Shichu served him without hesitation, showing great support.

As a result, Zhao Lue accidentally ate too much and his belly was swollen. Wei Shichu was a little annoyed. While gently rubbing his belly, he said to him: "Lue'er, if you are full, just tell me directly and I will stop feeding you. It's not comfortable to be too full..."

"But I want to eat everything you feed me..." Zhao Lue said softly, looking at Wei Shichu's eyes full of admiration, and Wei Shichu's heart softened immediately.
