“My wet nurse tried to murder my daughter, and my daughter-in-law took her to the authorities.”
"Wh...what?" The old lady's eyes widened.
"I sent my daughter-in-law along with that midwife," Ye said, suppressing her hatred as she watched her reaction. "The two of them tried to murder my daughter. I've already spoken to the authorities and they're interrogating them severely."
The old lady staggered back several steps; if it weren't for the nanny behind her supporting her, she would have fallen long ago.
"What's wrong with Mother?" Madam Ye asked, feigning ignorance.
"No...it's nothing. The child is fine. There's no need to send him to the authorities...Now that the Marquis's mansion is the last of its kind, you should also look after the Marquis."
“It is precisely because of the Marquis’s concern that I, as the mistress of the house, must act impartially. If these people were sent to other pregnant women, wouldn’t the babies also suffer?”
"No...it's not that serious, is it?" the old lady asked guiltily.
[Mother, the midwife who delivered my father was the mother of my father's mistress.]
The wet nurse was my grandmother's cousin.
[We were already planning this when you were pregnant...]
[Sobbing, they never intended for their daughter to live...]
Boom!!!
She only felt a fishy, sweet taste in her throat.
A tingling sensation ran through my chest.
So, is the mistress's mother secretly colluding with her husband's family?
Ye clenched her fists, suppressing her anger.
"Mother, my wife's child is about to be murdered, how come it's not that serious?"
"Does it mean that only death is considered serious?"
The old lady blurted out, "Isn't he still alive...?"
"Mother!" Ye's eyes reddened. This was the mother-in-law she had served for more than ten years.
Then, she closed her eyes and said coldly:
“Mother, I have made up my mind about this matter and I will not tolerate it. Please go back now, I need to rest.”
"Lanyin, how could you be so vicious? The child was perfectly fine, and you took two lives!"
Mrs. Ye never imagined that her mother-in-law, who always doted on her, would have such a side.
Was everything before really a lie? Was she the only one foolishly serving?
"Fate? Isn't my child's life a life?"
"Mother, your daughter-in-law is only protecting her own daughter. Her child is an heir of the Marquis's mansion!"
The old lady remained silent. One of the midwives was her cousin, and the other was her in-law.
This child...
"Alright, Lanyin, let's talk about this tomorrow. You should get some rest."
"Wait, Mother."
The old lady turned around. "What's wrong?"
Why don't you want that sky-blue umbrella today?
"I don't like that color, as you know," the old lady said, then stepped over the threshold and left.
Ye was disheartened.
The old lady didn't even think about such a simple flaw.
It hasn't rained in Bianjing for a long time...
Why would you need an umbrella?
She concealed her heartache and watched the old lady's departing figure.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow.
Lin Wanwan tried to reach out to wipe away Ye's tears, but her hand fell down as soon as she raised it.
Waaaaah.
She wanted to wipe her mother's face and let her breathe on her.
[Don't cry, Mommy, Wanwan loves you.]
Mrs. Ye lowered her head, pressed her face against the child's, and wept bitterly.
That night, Mrs. Ye did not sleep a wink.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei stood outside the door, listening to the barely concealed sounds of pain coming from inside, and both of them burst into tears.
From the moment the old lady entered, they understood everything.
The midwife was hired by the old lady, and the wet nurse was hired by the marquis. It's such a coincidence that both of them have problems, so they must be involved!
The next day.
Looking at her beloved daughter sleeping soundly, so incredibly cute, Mrs. Ye finally smiled after a night's rest.
The chubby, fair-skinned child in front of her was born after she risked her life.
The fact that they could hear her thoughts meant that the mother and daughter were connected and that they had come to save her.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei heard the noise inside the room, pushed open the door, and saw that Ye Shi's eyes were slightly red and swollen, so they knew that she had not slept all night.
"Madam, you're up. Please drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"It's winter now, and you're in your postpartum period, so please don't harm your health."
Hua Mei placed the breakfast porridge she had prepared in front of Madam Ye and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
Ye lowered her head and let Hua Mei serve her.
She was also quite tired after not sleeping all night.
After finishing breakfast, I fed Lin Wanwan milk, and then she fell asleep.
She slept until evening, when she was woken up because she was hungry.
Hua Xin, holding the child, approached with a smile, "Madam, look at Miss, how adorable she is! I have never seen such a cute child before."
Ye's eyes and brows were smiling.
The child's fair face seemed to have changed a little after a few hours. His big, watery eyes and wide grin revealed a row of gums, making him look incredibly endearing.
She reached out and gently touched the child's cheek.
That's good, she almost lost the child.
"My darling, Mommy will protect you well."
"Hmm~"
The little girl seemed to understand, making "mmm" sounds and occasionally giggling.
Seeing that the lady finally smiled, Huaxin and Huamei felt much better.
The book states that the first wife, Ye, gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The baby girl died at birth, and two of the three sons met tragic ends.
After the death of her second child, the first wife went insane and, in a fit of hysteria, hanged herself.
The original wife's family was framed by her adopted son and daughter, who conspired to commit the crime of treason and were executed along with their entire family!
Afterwards, her adopted son rose through the ranks in his official career, her adopted daughter became a princess, and her surviving son severed ties with Ye and called his second wife "mother."
