Chapter 7, The mistress falls into the water
Panchun nodded and left.
Seeing that the little guy stopped crying, Liu Wan deliberately stayed in the room for a long time before going out.
When she went out, she faintly heard them saying that old lady Xie favored boys over girls and deliberately ignored the newborn Xiao Wanwan.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Inside the charity hall.
Xu Rourou was coaxing Xie Huaishan to sleep, and she cried with grievance, "Huaishan, my son, it's because of my low status that I can't give you a grand full-moon banquet. The honor and favor in the front hall should have belonged to you.
"Your father told me that after today you will have a good status, and today's grievances are not a big deal, but even so, how could he bear to separate you and me, mother and son. ”
She is actually the wet nurse of her own child!
In this way, even if she becomes a concubine, she cannot declare to the outside world that she is the biological mother of her own child.
Since she has known Xie Jinan for many years and they have been childhood sweethearts, even if Xie Jinan lets her be his legal wife, she is worthy. After all, she still feels that Xie Jinan is not sincere enough to her.
Thinking of this, she cried even harder.
The voices of maids came sparsely from outside the door,
"Have you heard? The girl that the prince likes is of higher status than the lady. If the girl fell into the water this time and was rescued by the prince, then wouldn't we have one more mistress in our mansion?"
"Who did you hear that from? How could the girl fall into the water for no reason? Don't let the housekeeper hear it."
The voice became even smaller, "Sister, would I lie to you? The old lady has made all the arrangements. Someone pushed the girl into the water, and the prince jumped in to save her. The girl must marry the prince as his mistress..."
Xu Rourou gritted her teeth. Her status was still uncertain, so why would Xie Jin'an marry someone else?
What would she and Huaishan do then?
No, she had to go and take a look. She
opened the door and ran out.
By the lotus pond.
Liu Wan led the female relatives along the corridor to the pavilion.
The plaque on the pavilion was wrapped in red cloth, and the corridor was decorated with red ribbons, which looked very festive.
The maid smiled and handed one end of the red cloth to Liu Wan, "This is a surprise prepared by the prince for the young lady. Please unveil the plaque, madam. "
Liu Wan pulled open the red cloth, and on the plaque were written the three characters "Ai Wan Pavilion".
A maid came out of the pavilion carrying things, and Liu Wan opened the red cloths one by one, and there were many valuable things inside.
Especially the box of gold, silver and jade.
They were all given to Wan Wan.
Everyone was envious and said that Liu Wan had married a good husband. Little Wan Wan rubbed her eyes.
[What's so good about it? Aren't all these things the hero's in the end? And this Aiwan Pavilion, my scumbag dad prepared a big house for the hero in the capital, but only gave me the title of a pavilion, so biased...]
Liu Wan's face froze.
She knew that these things that looked okay were not that good.
Xie Jinan and the old lady were willing to give these things to Wanwan, hoping to get a big return with a small investment.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Yes, there's a snake! "
The female relatives at the scene scattered and dodged, some of them lost their composure, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Wan's face sank, and she indeed saw a bamboo green snake coming out of the grass. Taking advantage of the chaos, a maid beside the fifth princess suddenly fell towards the fifth princess. Liu Wan was quick to pull the fifth princess away.
The maid fell straight to the water and was bitten by the snake.
Liu Wan held Xiao Wanwan in one hand and the fifth princess in the other, and said decisively, "Quick, escort the ladies away!"
At this time, people outside the pavilion shouted again: "Oh no, a female relative fell into the water!"
The female relatives cried out in surprise, and hurriedly hid outside the pavilion under the escort of the maid.
Sure enough, someone fell into the water.
When Liu Wan came here, she saw a figure jumping down to save people.
Madam Liu suddenly shouted: "Isn't that Prince Xie? How come it is his turn to jump into the water to save people?"
"There seems to be a woman in the water, what... is going on?"
"Human life is at stake, there is nothing we can do. "
Everyone watched with trepidation, and soon, Xie Jinan rescued the person up, all wet.
"I'm sorry, Fifth..."
Before he could utter the word "Princess", Xie Jinan's face turned pale when he saw the pitiful face.
How could it be Xu Rourou.
Shouldn't she be feeding her child in the room now?
Oh no, something bad has happened!
When the old lady came here, she saw the Fifth Princess standing beside Liu Wan, and saw Xu Rourou, who was brought up, shivering and wet. Her eyes turned black and she almost fell down.
"Oh, old lady Xie, you can't be scared. Whose family is this lady? She is not innocent after being touched by the prince. "
Yes, handle this matter well and don't make a big deal out of it."
The female relatives reminded one after another.
Pan Chun came running over breathlessly, rushed forward and shouted, "Hey, isn't this the wet nurse that the old lady hired to feed the young master? Wet nurse, why did you fall into the water for no reason? "
Everyone was shocked as if struck by lightning!
Wet nurse?
Prince Xie, he had contact with a wet nurse?
Young master? Who else?
[Hehehe, the scumbag dad's mistress has appeared... They look pretty, it would be great if someone could expose them...]
Xiao Wanwan waved her fists and laughed.
The scene was quiet and her laughter was out of place, but she was a baby, so no one bothered her!
Liu Wan explained with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone. The old lady rescued a baby boy from the hands of human traffickers last month. Seeing that he was pitiful, the old lady kept him in the mansion to raise him. This is the wet nurse hired to raise the young master. "
Mrs. Liu stepped forward and held her daughter's hand. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She asked sharply, "Madam, I don't know where this wet nurse came from. How could she fall into the water for no reason?"
The old lady was so anxious that she almost lost the ability to stop herself from speaking. What
did she dare to say? How could she know that Xu Rourou fell into the water here? It was clearly arranged... was... Ling Lu said. The fifth princess looked at her curiously. But she didn't dare to say anything.
Xie Jin'an's face was extremely gloomy. He pulled the corners of his mouth and held back his anger, "What happened?"
"Yes... I was in a hurry to feed the young master, and I accidentally fell into the water. I... sob... I won't live anymore..."
Xu Rourou was so scared that she cried. Her beautiful face was stained with wet hair dripping with water, and she looked pitiful.
Liu Wan handed Xiao Wanwan to Madam Liu, and wrapped Xu Rourou in a robe, "Where are you from? Where is your husband?"
"Husband...husband?"
Xu Rourou raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Jinan, who still had anger in his eyes.
Liu Wan said with pity, "You are not that old, but you have become a wet nurse. I guess your husband must have died? Where is the child? Is the child dead too?"
