Chapter 751 Being Schemed Against by Later Generations
The wet nurse stared at Qiao Qinghe in horror, her eyes filled with shock, bewilderment, panic, and fear...
Qiao Qinghe frowned and glanced at the wet nurse. A Shuang immediately scolded, "What kind of look is that? What do you mean by staring at the old lady like that?"
Su Rongrong frowned and looked at the wet nurse, "What's going on?"
The wet nurse, Wang, shook her head frantically, her face pale, "No, it's nothing."
Although she said it was nothing, the wet nurse couldn't hide the fear and unease in her expression.
Qiao Qinghe's eyes turned cold, and she looked sharply at the wet nurse. "Tell the truth! What were you thinking about just now? Why did you suddenly look like you'd seen a ghost?"
The wet nurse knew Qiao Qinghe's position in her master's heart. Now, being glared at by her master and the old lady, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground with a thud.
Her body trembled, and she stammered for a long while before stealing a glance at Qiao Qinghe before speaking to Su Rongrong in a trembling voice, "Madam, may I...may I speak to you alone?"
Su Rongrong frowned and refused without thinking, saying, "There are no outsiders here, so please just say what you need to say."
The wet nurse trembled for a long time, stealing a glance at Qiao Qinghe, before gritting her teeth and saying, "Does the old lady want to take the young master away?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Su Rongrong asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Ah Shuang was also completely baffled.
Only Qiao Qinghe vaguely guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, the wet nurse explained, "The young master is fine, but he always cries. He only stops crying when the old lady holds him."
Su Rongrong was taken aback. "This shows that the child is close to the old lady. What's the problem?"
The wet nurse anxiously reminded him, "But a child's nature is to be close to his mother! No matter how close the child is to the old lady, he shouldn't bypass you, Madam!"
Su Rongrong frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
The wet nurse glanced at Qiao Qinghe tremblingly, as if she had made a decision, and gritted her teeth to speak frankly: "I... I suspect that the old lady had someone drug the young master."
Before the wet nurse could finish speaking, A-Shuang couldn't help but point at her and shout, "How dare you! How dare you slander my old lady!"
Perhaps because she had already spoken, the wet nurse, with a "what's the use" attitude, suddenly became bolder. Facing A Shuang's scolding, she retorted without fear: "Besides drugging, I can't think of any other reason why the young master is crying and making a fuss for no reason and only close to the old lady!"
"Only by ensuring that the young master only befriends the old lady can the old lady openly bring the child back to the Qiao residence!"
"Furthermore, I suspect that the old lady simply wanted to keep the young prince by her side, and didn't really intend to harm him. Therefore, the fact that the imperial physicians and doctors both said the young prince was healthy means that the medicine didn't cause him much harm!"
The wet nurse spoke more and more fluently, "The only doctor in the world who could concoct such a miraculous medicine that even the imperial physicians and all the famous doctors in the capital could not cure is probably the legendary Doctor Mu."
"But Doctor Mu was brought back from Jiangnan by the old lady, and she is also the old lady's niece-in-law. The two families are very close."
"It's not surprising at all that the old lady has such a miraculous medicine."
"and……"
The wet nurse hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady has a history of snatching children!"
"When the Prince of Qi's son was snatched away, the Prince of Qi's family was at fault first, so the old lady had a perfectly valid excuse to take the child away!"
"But now, the old lady and the madam are close, and they have an inseparable relationship with the Marquis's mansion. If they want to take the child away openly, they can only use some other means!"
The wet nurse, with an expression of resignation, looked at Qiao Qinghe and then at Su Rongrong, and said earnestly, "Madam, I know that after saying these words, I'm afraid I won't survive no matter what."
"But it doesn't matter. Even if I die, I will remind you, Madam, that you can know a person's face but not their heart! Not everyone who looks like a good person and seems to be nice to you is a good person!"
After saying this, the wet nurse closed her eyes, preparing to die.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, all he got was Qiao Qinghe's words: "Alright, no one wants you to die. Get up."
The wet nurse opened her eyes in disbelief and saw Qiao Qinghe already sitting down with Su Rongrong, holding the child.
The child was still lying in Qiao Qinghe's arms, his big eyes rolling around, looking at Qiao Qinghe and then turning to look at Su Rongrong, full of energy.
The wet nurse stood up nervously and stepped aside.
The fear and unease in his heart had not subsided, but his eyes were now filled with deep doubt.
She said such outrageous things, and yet nothing happened to her?
If the madam doesn't kill her, fine, but why doesn't the old madam seem to intend to kill her either?
Neither of them scolded her.
Of course, neither the lady nor the old lady had any conflict or argument because of her words.
Isn't this a bit too strange?
Qiao Qinghe and Su Rongrong naturally had no idea what the wet nurse was thinking, and they had no time to care about her now.
Su Rongrong sat next to Qiao Qinghe, looking at Xu Ge'er in Qiao Qinghe's arms with deep worry in her eyes.
"Grandmother, could it be that Xu-ge'er has really been drugged?"
Qiao Qinghe nodded slightly: "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
Although what the wet nurse said earlier was unpleasant, it made a lot of sense.
Therefore, she believed that someone was likely sabotaging her behind the scenes.
She drugged the child so that he would only be close to her, and then she could openly take the child back home.
Tsk tsk, she has a history of child abduction, the origin of bizarre drugs, and she even considered that the drugs would not harm the child himself.
She just wants a child, so she won't hurt the child.
That's really thoughtful!
As for the purpose of doing this, it was naturally to sow discord between the two families.
If Su Rongrong had even the slightest distrust of her, the evil schemes of those behind her would likely succeed.
Which mother could tolerate someone coveting her child?
"What should we do?" Su Rongrong looked at Qiao Qinghe anxiously. "Will the baby be alright?"
Qiao Qinghe shook her head: "The child is fair-skinned and chubby, so there should be no problem with his health. It's just that his crying is a bit of a hassle."
Su Rongrong felt a little relieved, then smiled and said, "How about letting the child live with you at the Qiao residence?"
Qiao Qinghe turned to look at Su Rongrong, but before she could refute her, Su Rongrong said with a smile, "That way I can also live in the Qiao residence legitimately!"
The child has a special connection with the ancestors and will only behave himself if he stays by their side.
The child is so young, shouldn't the mother go with her?
Yes, that makes perfect sense!
Just as Su Rongrong was about to say that it was a pleasant decision, Qiao Qinghe slapped her on the forehead.
"We always need to make sure the child isn't poisoned."
