Chapter 252: Nanny: Oh no, someone is here to steal my job

After the Shen family's father and son returned home, the atmosphere finally became more lively, and Xie Hui and Lu Ne no longer had to make small talk. In the evening, Xie Hui naturally stayed at the Shen family for dinner before returning home.

"Look, our son is back. He is eating the food of his wife's family even before getting married. Our son is so lucky!"

As soon as Xie Hui entered the house, Xie Yuan started teasing him.

Princess Kangle and her husband finished their meal, and when they had nothing to do, they played a game of chess. When she saw her son coming back, Princess Kangle put down the chess piece in her hand.

"You said you were sending Manman home, but you were so rude and ate her again."

Xie Hui also sat down nearby and took a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. "Today, Manman's sister came back from Yanzhou. I went to accompany her and talk to Manman's brother-in-law."

Xie Hui took his mother's chess pieces, so Xie Yuan also started playing with his son. When he said he wanted to keep him company, Xie Yuan said, "I can't believe you can still do this." After all, Xie Yuan knew that his son was not a particularly talkative person.

The couple both enjoyed entertaining the child. Princess Kangle said, "Who told you that you have to talk when you accompany someone? Isn't just sitting there also accompanying someone, right, son?"

“You lose.”

Xie Hui dropped the last piece, withdrew his hand and looked at his father.

"Let me see, tsk... you really lost. You are such a grudge-bearer."

Xie Hui told his father and mother: "Starting tomorrow, I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to help. Jingzhao Prefecture is very busy now, and Zhou Zhongan asked me to help him."

"You are destined to be a hard worker, so you can decide on your own. By the way, I heard from Xiao Anzi's mother a few days ago that she wanted to find a wife for him. Did Xiao Anzi tell you about it?"

"Are you still worried about his marriage?"

"Didn't his mother ask me to do this? You two have a good relationship, so there are some things he would love to tell you."

Xie Hui only said: "The Jingzhao Prefecture has been busy recently, so he didn't tell me this."

…

At night, Shen Yuan wanted her elder sister to sleep with her, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Old Madam Shen.

Shen Xi coaxed Shen Yuan, "I'll talk to you again tomorrow, all day long."

"Let's go out and play together tomorrow, go shopping, eat outside, and bring sister-in-law and grandmother along. We're just staying at home anyway, brother-in-law, if you don't mind being with the women's army, come along too."

Lu Ne glanced at his wife, and Shen Xi smiled and said, "We are going out to play, why should we bring your brother-in-law? Just let him stay at home and watch the house."

Shen Xi knew that it would be more comfortable for her husband to be alone at home, but Old Madam Shen felt that it was not good to leave the guest alone at home, so she said, "You guys can go and have fun, I will stay to accompany Minsi."

Shen Yuan winked at Shen Xi, asking her to go and persuade grandmother, while he whispered something to his sister-in-law. He Ying agreed with a smile. Old Madam Shen was also convinced by Shen Xi and agreed to go out together tomorrow. Lu Ne breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the room at night, Lu Ne apologized to Shen Xi: "Xixi, I'm sorry."

"Why should I be sorry?"

"I should be more generous." Lu Ne was a man of few words by nature. He had to think for half a day before saying something. When he arrived in the capital, he was afraid of saying something wrong and leaving a bad impression on Xixi's family. As a result, he spoke even less.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Is this the first day I've known you're like this? If you mind, I won't marry you. Don't feel too burdened. My family is very nice. You can play at home by yourself tomorrow. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

"Okay, I'll just stay at home and read."

Early the next morning, except for Shen Yun and his son Shen Su, who had to go out for duty before dawn, the whole family had breakfast together. After breakfast, He Ying asked everyone to wait a moment and then asked the wet nurse to bring Sui Sui over.

"Third brother-in-law, we are all out today, and Sui Sui will be handed over to you."

The wet nurse brought the child to Lu Ne, who was so surprised that she stood up and said, "I...sister-in-law, this..." Although she was still stuttering, she had already stretched out her hand.

"Third aunt, you hold your hips with one hand and your neck with the other. Look, the young master is smiling at you."

The wet nurse was worried that Lu Ne wouldn't know how to hold the baby, but she didn't expect that he could hold it right away.

"Don't be afraid, brother-in-law. There's a wet nurse here. She'll feed him if he's hungry. You just need to comfort him."

Sui Sui is a child who is not afraid of strangers. When Lu Ne held him, he not only did not cry, but also smiled at him with his toothless mouth. Lu Ne had held younger brothers and sisters at home before, so he was not unfamiliar with them. Although he did not speak, his hands holding the child had already patted each other gently, which seemed to be quite familiar.

This was Shen Yuan's idea last night. Wouldn't it be less boring if we let my brother-in-law take care of the child?

"Brother-in-law, you are amazing. You hold me so well!" Shen Yuan gave Lu Ne a thumbs up. Lu Ne said shyly, "I used to take care of my younger siblings at home."

After everyone left, Old Lady Shen said to her granddaughter, "I don't even need to think about it. This idea must have come from you, girl."

Shen Yuan said confidently, "What's wrong? This is perfect. He is not comfortable with our brother-in-law hanging out with us. It is perfect for him to stay at home and take care of the kids."

"It's because Minsi has a good temper. How can a son-in-law come to someone else's house and ask them to take care of the child?"

"Any man who enters my Shen family must take care of children."

Shen Yuan's words made Shen Xi and He Ying laugh. Old Madam Shen's face was not stiff for a moment. "You are full of twisted ideas. No one can argue with you."

"Sister, where do you want to go first?"

"I want to visit your clinic the most. Just from what you said in your letter, I want to visit it."

Old Madam Shen continued, "Then come back from the clinic and go to the jewelry shop. It's almost New Year. Grandma will pay for it and you can each pick one."

The three of them said in unison: "Thank you, Grandma."

"We have to buy it, Grandma, you have to buy it too!"

Madam Shen refused, "I am an old woman, why should I buy jewelry for you? You are all little girls, you should dress up properly."

"You're not old! I'll pick it out for you later and we can dress up together."

Old Madam Shen laughed and said, "Nonsense, if I still dress up at my age, I'll look like an old monster."

At home, the wet nurse originally wanted the Third Aunt to look after the child, thinking that it was just a joke by the Young Madam and that she would just hold the child for a while. Unexpectedly, the Third Aunt actually looked after the child seriously for the entire day.

The seven or eight-month-old child can already talk in wails and ahs. While Lu Ne is holding the child, he responds every time he calls out "sui sui ah", just like talking. He even doesn't need the nurse to get involved in changing diapers, he does it all by himself. At the end of the day, Lu Ne can do everything except feeding.

The nanny thought it was a good thing that this lady didn't stay here forever, otherwise she would have lost her job...
