Zhen Wanwan returned to her room, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Her original intention was to get Madam Fang and Chunyu to put themselves in each other's shoes and see if they would be willing to be interrogated when questioned by others.
I never expected that my clever plan would backfire and turn a small matter into a big one!
Despite searching the entire ship, Feng He still couldn't find the lost jade pendant.
Conversely, Zhen Wanwan and Feng He became enemies with Madam Fang.
This humiliation so infuriated Madam Fang that she couldn't sleep day or night!
Every time I think about it, I feel like tearing Zhen Wanwan and Feng He to shreds.
Chunyu, the prime suspect, was ruthlessly abandoned by Madam Fang.
They simply handed the person over to Zhen Wanwan to avoid seeing or worrying about her.
They said they'd let her decide what to do with him!
Zhen Wanwan knew very well that Chunyu was an innocent victim, but since the person had already come, she reluctantly accepted her.
Zhen Wanwan instructed Yun'er to give her a minor punishment as a warning, and then handed her over to Lord Feng for safekeeping.
She planned to lock her up for a few days to deflate her arrogance; her overbearing personality was really annoying!
After this incident, everyone became much more vigilant.
He became even more polite and respectful towards Zhen Wanwan, in particular.
Even Grandma Li and Grandpa Zhen sometimes looked like they wanted to say something but couldn't when they saw her.
Finally, on this day, after Grandma Li had dressed the two little ones in new clothes, Zhen Wanwan spoke up.
"Mother! Just ask whatever you want! You're always so hesitant, making me guess all the time..."
Grandma Li opened her mouth, looked at her eyes, and asked cautiously.
"Wanwan! There's something your dad and I want to know... It's about our darling and sweetheart's biological father... Are you deliberately hiding this from us?"
Remembering the story Zhen Wanwan had told about his wife running away with her child, Old Lady Li felt a surge of heat in her heart.
My daughter's all grown up, and I don't love her as much anymore!
Such a big thing, and they kept it from her, their mother, completely!
I wonder which billionaire is the biological father of the two little ones?
Or perhaps it was some powerful prince or regent?
Zhen Wanwan was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this and remained speechless for a long time.
In Old Lady Li's eyes, this demeanor was an indirect admission!
Grandma Li patted her hand tenderly.
“If you don’t want to talk about this, I won’t force you. But our little darlings are still so young. If you have any misunderstandings with their father, please communicate with him as soon as possible and resolve them properly.”
Zhen Wanwan gave an indescribably awkward laugh. Was her mother possessed?
Not long ago, she was still angry at her daughter's biological father, but after not talking about it for a while, her mother changed her mind.
Did she even fantasize about a love-hate relationship between her and the child's father?
"Mother! Didn't I tell you before? I have no idea who that person is! And they don't recognize me anymore!"
After saying her last words, Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but recall Zhu Yuan's face.
That indifferent expression suggests he's long forgotten her.
Grandma Li looked distressed; her daughter really wasn't close to her anymore!
She began to have suspicions after they met Lord Feng and boarded the ship.
Lord Feng is such a great man, why would he be so respectful to his daughter?
They were incredibly meticulous about everything they ate and wore.
They treated her, an illiterate peasant woman, with utmost respect.
In addition, chatting with some of her younger female friends and hearing their gossip made her take it to heart.
Well... after Yun'er's incident.
She became increasingly certain that her son-in-law, whom she had never met, was no ordinary person.
"Sigh! If it's inconvenient for you to say, then I won't ask."
After pausing for two seconds, Old Lady Li continued, "Our family has no money or power. I don't expect you to marry into a wealthy family. I just want you to live a peaceful and stable life for the rest of your days."
"Your father and I are content."
Zhen Wanwan looked at Old Lady Li helplessly and said, "Mother! I have no intention of getting married in this lifetime!"
"I don't know where you heard any rumors, but I really haven't hidden anything from you..."
Seeing her daughter's confident demeanor, Old Lady Li began to waver in her resolve once again.
"is that so?"
Zhen Wanwan nodded firmly: "Yes! So, you don't need to overthink things. Go out and enjoy the scenery when you have time!"
Meanwhile, the wet nurse learned that Chunyu had been abandoned by Madam Fang and given to Zhen Wanwan, and that she didn't even know whether Chunyu was alive or dead.
After coaxing Ms. Fang to sleep, her eyes were swollen from crying!
Afraid of being discovered, she kept her tears hidden.
Spring rain...
Under the lamplight, the wet nurse's expression changed from grief to anger, and finally to resentment!
"Don't worry, your mother will avenge you!"
Thinking of this, her resentful gaze shifted to the swaddled baby girl on the bed.
I already have a plan in mind!
Whether it's Madam Fang or Zhen Wanwan, she will absolutely not let them get away with it.
Ideally, they would never see their own flesh and blood in their entire lives!
The wet nurse thought of Tianbao, who was loved and cherished by the Zhen family, and then looked at Miss Fang, who was also a baby girl.
A crazy idea popped into my head.
Switch the two babies in swaddling clothes!
Let them be separated from their own flesh and blood forever, just like she and Chunyu!
If we tell them the truth when they're older, they'll probably be in a lot of pain!
After raising her for so many years, her daughter turned out to be her mortal enemy!
Having lived in the Fang family for so many years, she knew the Fang family's First Madam's personality very well.
On the surface, the lady appeared kind and approachable, always smiling at others, and never intentionally offended anyone.
While in the household, she treated her legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters equally, and was a virtuous stepmother praised by everyone.
In reality, Madam Fang was the most cunning, raising her illegitimate daughters to be extremely domineering, earning them a notorious reputation throughout the capital.
She even pretended to apologize on behalf of her illegitimate daughters, determined to throw this mudslinging water on them.
At banquets, anyone who had offended her was privately punished by her.
The wet nurse couldn't believe that Madam Fang, who was so vindictive, would so easily forget the embarrassment Zhen Wanwan had caused her today.
"Just you wait! Since you've been bullying Chunyu like this, don't blame me for being ruthless..."
As if sensing something in her sleep, Miss Fang began to sob.
Is she grieving for the hard times that are about to come?
The wet nurse didn't know, and didn't want to know.
Despite being filled with hatred, she still obediently picked her up.
Unexpectedly, the more they tried to comfort her, the louder she cried.
Upon hearing this, Madam Fang gave the wet nurse another vicious scolding.
He vented his anger at the humiliation he suffered today on the wet nurse.
In the past, the wet nurse would have begged for mercy in grievance, but today she already had a plan for revenge in mind, so she naturally wouldn't care about this little bit of insult.
When Madam Fang wasn't looking, the wet nurse's lips curled up slightly.
His eyes were full of starlight, and a deeply hidden schadenfreude.
