Chapter 154 The Cruel Truth
Most of the slaves are alone and live in the Duke's Mansion and rarely go out. They have no weaknesses and are not easily threatened.
After making up her mind, Mrs. Shen looked at the account book carefully.
At noon, she finally finished looking through all the accounts. She rubbed her temples with her hands, sorted out all the account books on the table, and asked the maid to send them to the housekeeper.
Then, he stood up, walked to Shen Wan and picked her up.
"Xiao Wan'er, there have been so many things going on these days, and I suddenly remembered that there's something I haven't told you yet."
【Hey, what didn’t Mom tell me? 】
[Let me think about it, it should be the wet nurse's business, but why did my mother specifically tell me about it? According to common sense, I don't understand.]
"Never mind. Mom always loves to tell me things, so this isn't unusual. Someone must have told me that talking to babies more often stimulates their brain development and makes them smarter when they grow up."
【Yes, that's definitely the case.】
Mrs. Shen: “…”
She had only said one sentence, but Xiao Waner had already imagined so many things.
I really like to imagine.
After Shen Wan finished thinking about it, she looked up and waited quietly for Mrs. Shen to speak.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen remained silent for a long time, but was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. Seeing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but ask questions in her heart.
"Hey, Xiao Wan'er, your wet nurse has something going on at home and can't continue to be your wet nurse, so I'm thinking of finding you a new one."
"Alas, it's a pity that mother doesn't have enough milk, otherwise, there would be no need to do this."
Hearing her thoughts, Mrs. Shen quickly came to her senses and told her what happened, but she concealed the tragic death of the wet nurse and her family.
The wet nurse was gentle by nature and was always considerate and meticulous towards Xiao Wan'er. Xiao Wan'er liked her very much. If Xiao Wan'er knew that the wet nurse had died tragically, she would definitely be very sad.
So, I decided not to tell her.
She is still young now. In a few years or even decades, when she grows up, she will completely forget her nanny. Therefore, there is no need to tell her and make her sad.
Hearing this, Shen Wan's face fell, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger.
"Just after I was kidnapped, something happened to my wet nurse's family and she couldn't be my wet nurse anymore. This is too much of a coincidence."
[Could it be that the nanny was really involved in my theft? And was she even silenced?]
Thinking of this, a hint of surprise flashed across Shen Wan's eyes, and even Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Her little Wan'er is really smart. No matter what happens, as long as she knows the clues, she can guess it almost exactly.
It seems that even if she wanted to hide it, she might not be able to do so.
[The wet nurse is kind and gentle by nature, and definitely not someone who would do such a thing. However, if she were threatened, it would be hard to say.]
The Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded. Given the abilities of those idiots, they definitely wouldn't be able to get in. Therefore, if they want to successfully steal me, they'll likely target the wet nurse.
[The wet nurse is employed, not a slave, so she can come and go freely in the Shen family home and has regular vacations to visit home.]
[These people must have found out the identity of the wet nurse and used various means to threaten her.]
[Wow, if that's the case, the nanny might have been murdered.]
[Those men in black are worse than beasts!!!]
[Wow, wow, wow, I'll never see my nanny again. I was thinking of giving her a big gold bracelet when she quits.]
"Wow……"
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
[Wow, even though it was my nanny who stole me away, it was actually my family who got her into trouble.]
[I drank her milk for so long, and in the end, I killed her. I really will feel sad for the rest of my life...]
[Wait, what did Mom just say? ]
While crying, Shen Wan suddenly thought of something important.
[Oh, by the way, my mother said she doesn't have enough milk and wants to find a new wet nurse for me.]
[No, no, I don't want a new wet nurse. Mother, please don't find me another wet nurse. I don't want to continue killing people.]
If your milk supply isn't enough, you can get me some goat's or cow's milk. I'm not picky about food.
【I'm really not picky.】
[But how should I tell my mother about my thoughts? Should I continue dreaming?]
[No, no, if I keep dreaming about it, it will make my mother suspicious, so I'd better just cry.]
When I saw the new wet nurse my mother had found, I cried very loudly and refused to be held or fed by her.
[Mother understands me so well, she will definitely understand what I mean when the time comes.]
"Why are you crying, Xiaowan'er? Don't cry, don't cry. Let me see if you have peed."
Madam Shen sighed, secretly memorizing all her thoughts, then put her on the couch and went to check her diaper.
"Hey, the diaper isn't wet. Why is Xiaowan crying? She just finished her milk not long ago. She shouldn't be hungry."
[Wow, I'm not hungry, and I'm not peeing, I just feel uncomfortable thinking about my nanny's tragic death.]
[Mom, please don't find me a wet nurse anymore, okay? I don't want one.]
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Fine, if you don't want it, forget it.
Anyway, Xiao Wan'er said that she is not picky about food and she is fine with either goat's milk or cow's milk. In that case, just ask the housekeeper to buy a dairy sheep.
Raising a sheep is indeed easier than buying a slave.
"Alright, alright, Xiaowan'er, stop crying. If you keep crying, your mother's heart will break."
Madam Shen touched her little face, wiped the tears from her cheeks, lowered her head and kissed her forehead gently.
[Okay, okay, I won’t cry anymore.]
[Otherwise, Mom won't be able to figure out why I'm crying, and she'll definitely get worried.]
Shen Wan immediately stopped crying, sniffed hard, stretched out her two cute little hands, gently touched Mrs. Shen's face, and silently comforted her.
The little kid's eyes were red and he looked pitiful, but he was still comforting her. Madam Shen's heart was so soft that she took her hand and kissed her palm.
"Our little Wan'er is really sensible. When mom tells her not to cry, she stops crying immediately."
Shen Wan blushed at the praise.
[Oh my god, I carry the memories of my past life with me, so I should be sensible.]
Chen Wan pinched her little finger, her thoughts drifting away again.
Thinking about what Su Haitang is doing at this moment.
[I don't know what Su Haitang's current situation is.]
Thinking of Su Haitang's mission, Shen Wan became upset.
Now, she couldn't hear the conversation between Su Haitang and the system, nor could she go out to secretly investigate the situation. She was completely in the dark.
And Shen Qingyi had never mentioned Su Haitang in front of her these days, so she was not sure whether Shen Qingyi knew about Su Haitang's situation.
[Ah, my sister is also very confusing to me. ]
[She might have a system, but her recent behavior is so lame. Consider Su Haitang. Doesn't her sister's system assign her tasks?]
