As soon as Mo Yu woke up, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little bit wrong.

It was too quiet.

And there was a faint smell of blood, which gave people an ominous premonition.

Mo Yu tried to shout twice, but found that his throat was so dry that it seemed to smoke, and he couldn't shout at all.

Looking at the sky outside the window, it was still a pitch-black night, and there was not even a moon, which made people feel even more uneasy.

Mo Yu was anxious, but not panicked. He tried to move his hands and feet, and found that although he felt a little numb, he could still move it. He felt a little relieved.

He listened for a while and found that there was silence all around, and there was no human voice at all. His heart couldn't help but tighten again.

Although he usually doesn't leave anyone in his room, there are always people guarding outside, in case something happens to him and no one comes when they need to call for help. That would be bad. Although

the Lin family has always been low-key and simple, and not the kind of family that advocates luxury, they are not without basic servants and bodyguards.

Mo Yu is still young, so the wet nurse Chen is still serving him.

Of course, this wet nurse Chen is not really going to breastfeed him - he is already a big boy of seven or eight years old, and he certainly can't do it like when he was a child.

But wet nurse Chen herself is also educated - her father is a scholar near Hulu Temple outside Gusu City, and the man she married is also from another scholarly family on the same street.

Such a person would not be a wet nurse for others.

But why did Nanny Chen come to be Mo Yu's wet nurse? There was a reason behind this.

Since she was from the vicinity of Hulu Temple, she must have been related to Zhen Yinglian. It

was also unlucky for Nanny Chen's family. When the Hulu Temple was burned, the whole street was burned.

Not only the Zhen Shiyin family next door to the Hulu Temple, but also several families nearby were implicated.

Among them was Nanny Chen's family.

Her mother died early, and she only had a scholar father. Because he read too much, his eyesight was not very good and his hearing was also bad, so he did not hear the shouts of "fire" on the street, and was burned to death at home.

Nanny Chen's newborn daughter, who was less than a month old, and her husband, who was studying hard to prepare for the imperial examination, also died in the fire. They died because of the thick smoke in the house. They were choked and their lungs were injured. They coughed for more than half a month before they died.

Nanny Chen's mother-in-law also coughed for a long time, but the old woman finally survived and did not die like her granddaughter and son.

But the root of the disease was left.

Because her husband died early, she had been lamenting her bad luck and her husband's death for many years. Now she was also a son and granddaughter. Anyway, it was all her fault...

Nanny Chen had no choice but to prescribe medicine for her, take care of her, and support her, while slowly comforting her. Finally, she stopped looking for death every day.

However, since she was an elderly patient who needed to take medicine for a long time, the burden was not ordinary.

It happened that the Lin family in Suzhou City had a new son and needed to find a wet nurse. Nanny Chen made up her mind and brought her mother-in-law to apply.

Jia Min was a kind-hearted person, and Lin Ruhai was also a generous person. When they heard that Nanny Chen's family was in such a miserable situation, they felt very sympathetic. Seeing that she was born with a decent appearance, was very tactful in her speech and behavior, and could even read and write, of course they immediately decided to keep her.

In the past six or seven years, Nanny Chen nursed Lin Moyu from a baby to a big child, which was really not easy.

After all, Lin Moyu's body was very troublesome when she was a child.

Not only was she sick every other day, but even when she was feeling better, she was still sickly and looked like she could die at any moment.

If it weren't for Nanny Chen's careful care, Lin Moyu's frail body would have died before Mo Yu came through, and none of the stories would have happened.

So, in a sense, Nanny Chen was a hero to Lin Moyu and the entire Lin family.

Nanny Chen was truly devoted to Lin Moyu and the Lin family, and of course the Lin family also took great care of her.

At the time, Nanny Chen was a bit like "selling her body to support her mother-in-law."

However, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai did not ask her to sign a contract to sell her body, but handled it as a hired worker.

Similar to the shopkeeper and the workers in their shop, they were completely in a contractual cooperation relationship.

And this contract was unilateral.

That is, Nanny Chen had the right to choose to leave at any time, and the Lin family could not refuse. But the Lin family could not dismiss Nanny Chen without any legitimate reason.

In order to make it convenient for Nanny Chen to take care of her elderly mother-in-law, Jia Min even arranged a small courtyard for her and her mother-in-law, and they basically lived a happy life with food, accommodation and wages.

In this environment, Nanny Chen's mother-in-law's mood also improved a lot, and finally stopped thinking about finding death, and lived a happy old age life happily for several years.

The old lady died three years later.

When she left, it was Jia Min who came forward and gave Nanny Chen twenty taels of silver, and asked the housekeepers to help with the arrangements.

Jia Min wanted to help, but Lin Moyu was ill at the time, and she was really powerless.

Fortunately, the funeral was handled very decently, and Nanny Chen was very grateful for it. She served the Lin family more and more like her own home.

After her mother-in-law passed away, she became completely alone, and there was really no better place to go except the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min both welcomed this. After all, Nanny Chen had always been Lin Moyu's wet nurse, and they were relieved to leave their only son to Nanny Chen.

After Mo Yu traveled through time, although he felt it was awkward to be served by such a young "mammy", if he did not let her serve him, she would burst into tears, which was even more of a headache for Mo Yu.

He had no choice but to accept the service of Mammy Chen. After a long time, he could not leave her.

Therefore, Mammy Chen always slept on the big bed in the suite outside Mo Yu's bedroom.

There was another servant sleeping on the small bed in the ear room outside the door, ready for something else. If he needed to run errands or do other things, he could be found.

But Mo Yu was always a worry-free master and did not have any strange needs.

Therefore, usually it is Nanny Chen who serves Mo Yu.

She is not very old, she is only about 30 years old this year, but she is already respected as Nanny. It can be seen that in this ancient time, age is really a strange thing.

In short, Nanny Chen is a very responsible wet nurse. She has always taken very good care of Mo Yu. In the Lin family, she is basically a family member.

Therefore, if there is any movement on Mo Yu's side, she will definitely be the first to know.

But this time Mo Yu fell to the ground, and Nanny Chen didn't even come in to take a look. It was really unusual.

Mo Yu was very puzzled, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door. The sleeping servant woke up.

Perhaps the sound of Mo Yu falling to the ground caught his attention. He held up a glass lamp and walked inside while asking, "Brother, are you awake? Do you need to get up at night?"

Before Mo Yu could respond, he heard the servant scream and throw the glass lamp to the ground, and then shouted to the outside, "Come quickly! Someone is dead! Oh my God! Where is my brother?! How are you?"

The servant howled for a while, but did not dare to come in to see Mo Yu's situation, which also made Mo Yu very speechless.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came soon, and even Xiao Daiyu came soon after. It was really "a friend in need is a friend indeed", and the difference between real relatives and fake relatives could be seen at once.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were very distressed when they saw Mo Yu fall to the ground, but they were relieved when they found that he had no problem except for his hoarse voice.

It was only at this time that they had time to pay attention to the situation of Nanny Chen.

The facts were clear.

Although the boy was young and timid, he did not talk nonsense.

Nanny Chen, who had spent seven years in the Lin family and was such a good person who was like a family member, suddenly died on the ground outside the suite. The murder weapon was gone and the murderer was nowhere to be found, but seeing that she was covered in blood, it was obviously a sharp weapon such as a sword.

After a doctor was invited to see her and confirmed that Nanny Chen had indeed died a long time ago, everyone in the Lin family was shocked, especially Mo Yu, who seemed to be at a loss for words - how could Nanny Chen just die?

Nanny Chen's kind words would always echo in his mind, "Brother, don't touch this, let this old slave do it."

Although Nanny Chen was not originally a slave, she had always regarded herself as a slave.

However, from Lin Ruhai, Jia Min to Mo Yu and Xiao Daiyu, they all treated her as an equal.

Just this point alone moved Nanny Chen so much.

This should be the reason why she was willing to protect Mo Yu at all costs.

As for another reason, it may be that she personally raised Mo Yu since he was a child, and already treated Mo Yu as her own child.

In this situation, out of a mother's instinct to protect her child, she would also stand up and protect Mo Yu.

So, the current situation is that Nanny Chen was assassinated right under his nose, but he had no idea what happened.

This in itself is very scary.

Mo Yu's first reaction was whether the Digital Legion had attacked him. After all, the biggest suspect who wanted him dead was that person.

Therefore, after he calmed down, he immediately sought the opinions of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and prepared to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor and talk to Master Kang about what this was. What kind of thing is this?

How can you be so great just because you are a prince? You can just go to the homes of ministers and kill people at will?

There is simply no law, right?

Mo Yu felt that his head was about to explode with anger.

But you still have to stay calm.

At least wait until you enter the palace and meet Master Kang before going crazy, otherwise it would be a loss.

You have to seek justice for Nanny Chen.

The sky gradually brightened, Mo Yu had dressed up and was ready to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but at this moment, someone suddenly came from outside the door to say that someone had come to the palace.
