Chapter 277 How could you have the heart to lie to me?
Someone came in through the window. It must be my mother's man.
Chen Wan subconsciously turned her head to look, but her vision was blocked by the brocade curtain and she could not see anything.
However, she was not wrong in her guess. The person who climbed in through the window was Xiaotao.
The door was quickly opened, and Madam Shen came in hurriedly. She had not slept well the previous night, and her face was very tired, her eyes were bloodshot, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.
He ran to the bedside in a few steps, and then met a pair of watery black eyes.
The little kid waved his arms, and the moment his eyes saw her, satisfaction instantly turned into surprise.
[Mom, why do you look so bad? ]
【Could it be that you didn't sleep all night because you were worried about me? 】
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after two days of rest. Don't worry, Mom."
[By the way, Mom, you can hear my voice, right? ]
She blinked and looked at Madam Shen inquiringly, waiting for Madam Shen's reaction.
Looking at her current appearance, she really didn't look like anything was wrong, and Madam Shen's hanging heart was finally completely put at ease.
"Yes, I can. I'm glad you're okay. I'm relieved..."
She nodded in response, bent down and gently picked up the little baby.
[Wow, Mom, you guys lied to me so hard...]
[I'm so cute, smart, and clever, how could you have the heart to lie to me? ]
【……】
As soon as she was held in Mrs. Shen's arms, Shen Wan grabbed the cloth on her chest and pretended to be crying and miserable.
Mrs. Shen was amused by her and chuckled, "Mother didn't mean it. Xiaowan'er must forgive mother."
[Of course, Mom didn't mean it, because Mom did it on purpose. But, who made me love Mom? Even if I blame the heavens and the earth, I will never blame Mom.]
"You are really good at coaxing people."
Mrs. Shen was coaxed into laughing softly, her heart feeling sweet, as if she had drunk honey. She smiled and gently pinched Shen Wan's cheek.
On the side, Xiaotao looked at the mother and daughter with curiosity.
What is the lady saying?
What can coax people?
It's so strange. The lady seems to be talking to Miss Xiao Waner, but her words seem a little incomprehensible.
I don’t know why, but Xiaotao always feels something is weird.
[I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth.]
I can't take care of myself. Although we have servants at home, my mother will take care of me herself whenever she's not busy.
Although I've never raised a child, I know how hard it is.
"I see how hard you're working, managing the household and taking care of me. Mom, I'm truly grateful and love you very much."
Although I can't do much right now, as long as I can raise her for two more years, I'll be able to be filial to her.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's heart softened. She lowered her head and kissed Shen Wan lightly on the forehead.
Then, he suppressed the strong urge to reply and turned to look at Xiaotao, who was standing beside him with a curious look on her face.
"Xiao Tao, go out first and close the door. I have something to say to the young lady."
Shen Qingyi, who was sleeping unresponsively on the bed with the quilt in her arms, was used as a cover by Mrs. Shen with peace of mind.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiaotao turned around, tiptoed out, and closed the door.
With only the mother and daughter left in the room, Mrs. Shen was finally able to speak freely and unrestrainedly.
She held Shen Wan and sat on the bed, chuckling and saying, "What are you talking about gratitude?"
"Xiao Wan'er is my child. Taking care of your own children is the responsibility of all parents. It is my duty. It is my duty. I am the one who should be grateful to Xiao Wan'er."
"If it weren't for Xiao Wan'er, Mom would have been killed long ago. How could she be alive today?"
"Also, although Xiaowan'er can't take care of herself right now, she's not completely powerless..."
"Xiao Wan'er is amazing. She's helped our family solve countless problems, big and small. She saved Mu'er, Xing'er, Qingyi...she saved everyone in our family."
"Xiao Wan'er is our family's greatest contributor, the best gift God has given to my parents..."
Shen Wan was flattered by the praise, and a blush crept up her soft and pink face. She was a little embarrassed to respond to Mrs. Shen's words, so she had to secretly change the subject.
"Uh, Mom, I'm curious. Listening to your inner voice is such a weird thing. How did you manage to accept it so calmly? And you pretended to be like that for so long in front of me."
"Aren't you afraid? Don't you think I'm a monster?"
"Haha, if this happened to someone else, and I just heard about it, I might also be scared and wonder what kind of monster you are."
"But I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. I heard your inner voice the moment you were born. Although this is extremely strange, your voice is kind and beautiful. Every word you say expresses your concern for me. How could I be afraid?"
"Later, you slowly revealed your origins, and I learned a lot about you..."
Madam Shen smiled and pinched her face, her eyes falling on the used milk bowl beside her.
"This is too long to explain. Let's talk about it later. Did Qingyi give you milk? When did she drink it? Is Xiaowan'er hungry now?"
After a series of questions, Shen Wan nodded quickly and responded in her heart.
[Yes, I have drunk it. My sister gave it to me more than half an hour ago. I am not hungry yet, mother.]
"Well, it's good after drinking it."
Madam Shen's eyes fell on Shen Qingyi again. She felt a little headache and said helplessly, "What's going on with Shen Qingyi?"
"When I came last night, it was still early and she went to bed. Why isn't she up yet?"
"Also, Xiao Wan'er, what was her purpose in stealthily taking you away? Did she tell you not to tell mother?"
"I'm telling you, you can't cover up for her. Tell me, what is she doing?"
Chen Wan: “…”
She blinked her eyes, cleared her mind, and quietly made up a lie in her heart.
【It’s not an important matter.】
Didn't my second brother take the initiative to reveal his true feelings to me yesterday? It was his first time confessing, so my sister couldn't help but get excited and wanted to chat with me.
[But, I had a headache and wasn't feeling well. I didn't have the energy to talk to my sister. I just wanted to sleep and rest. So, my sister brought me here just to chat with me as soon as possible.]
[Oh right, Mom, I woke up in the middle of the night and was so hungry that I woke up my sister.]
She fed me and chatted with me until I drank milk again half an hour ago, and then she fell asleep. Mom, please don't wake her up, let her have a good sleep.
My sister is at a growing age, and lack of sleep is bad for her health.
"Really? Xiao Wan'er didn't lie to her mother?"
Her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not that simple, but Mrs. Shen couldn't tell what was wrong, so she frowned and looked at Shen Wan and asked.
【……】
Shen Wan was in a difficult position when asked this question. It was not right to hide this matter, but it was not right to confess it either. Suddenly, her head started to hurt again.
