Mrs. Jiang was also very flexible. She returned home overnight and went to apologize to Jiang Yi in person.
Jiang Yi didn't care about Mrs. Jiang's apology, but she was still very moved when Mrs. Jiang mentioned calling her wet nurse back.
Then he hesitated again, "But the wet nurse has her own family, and it's not good to let her leave her family behind to take care of me."
Madam Jiang said, "What's the big deal? We can just give her a little more monthly allowance, and her family will be happy to do so."
"She came to the mansion to be a wet nurse because the family was poor."
"She has been working outside these years, just not at our house."
Jiang Yi no longer had any objections. She really wanted to meet her wet nurse and then ask her if she was willing to be with her. If she was unwilling, she would not force her.
Although she missed her wet nurse very much.
With such expectation, Jiang Yi met the wet nurse on the third day.
The wet nurse's surname is Hu, and people in the mansion call her Madam Hu. Madam Hu is in her early forties, younger than Madam Jiang, but her hair is almost gray, and she looks particularly weathered.
Jiang Yi was almost shocked.
"Nurse." Jiang Yi went to greet Madam Hu almost as soon as she came in.
Just like when he was a child, he quickly threw himself into Mrs. Hu's arms.
"Nanny, what on earth have you been through over the years? How did you become like this?"
Madam Hu patted Jiang Yi's back tremblingly.
"Good boy, good boy, don't cry, your nurse is old."
Mrs. Hu couldn't help but tear up as she spoke, "How have you been these past few years, young lady?"
"Okay, all is well."
"Whatever it is, if it is fine, why would I have to divorce that man? He must not treat me well." Mrs. Hu cried, "My poor girl."
That night, Jiang Yi and Mrs. Hu chatted for a long time, just like when they were children. Jiang Yi snuggled in her wet nurse's arms, as if she also had a mother.
The wet nurse was not her mother, but she stayed with her until she was six years old and was no different from her mother.
Jiang Yi felt that he had not been so happy for a long time.
She told her wet nurse about her experiences over the years, how much she missed her when she left, and what happened after she married Li Huaqing.
Mrs. Hu listened quietly, patted her back gently as if she were a child, and sang the nursery rhymes she used to sing as a child with her.
At that time, Jiang Yi often did not have enough food to eat and suffered from hunger and cold, but when Jiang Yi looked back on his life over the past twenty years, he felt that the time before he was six years old was the most peaceful and happiest.
She had nothing, but she had a wet nurse to keep her company.
In the next few years, even if she got married, she would still be alone.
Fortunately, the wet nurse is back now.
Jiang Yi was immersed in happiness and slept soundly, which was a rare occurrence.
Perhaps it was because the nursery rhymes sung by the nanny were too beautiful, she had a good dream that night. In the dream, she became the nanny's daughter and stayed with her forever.
When she woke up the next day, her wet nurse was sitting beside her couch, fanning her with a palm-leaf fan.
"Wet nurse."
She felt that her luck had finally turned, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Nurse, I don't have a biological mother, so you are half my mother. From now on, I will treat you as my biological mother and be filial to you."
Madam Hu lowered her eyes and said, "I don't ask for anything. As long as the young lady can live well, I will be happy."
Jiang Yi was so happy that he didn't notice Mrs. Hu twisting her hands, her slightly trembling voice, and her evasive gaze.
At noon, Mrs. Hu went out for a while, and then Song Ke came over.
Song Ke clearly noticed that compared to when he had just rescued Jiang Yi from the fire, Jiang Yi was now much more cheerful and vaguely resembled a young girl.
He was most happy to see her happy, but when he thought of that Madam Hu, there was some hesitation in Song Ke's eyes.
He was probably going to shatter her beautiful dream with his own hands.
He couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.
Song Ke's bony fingers kept tapping on the table, and he was exceptionally silent.
This silence was also exceptionally long.
Even Jiang Yi, who was immersed in the joy of seeing his wet nurse, noticed it.
Her pupils swept across Song Ke's fox eyes, which were always beautiful, and she could see a hint of sadness in them.
She was a person who always returned a favor. Song Ke's love gave her redemption, so she also wanted to do something for him.
"benefactor."
He raised his eyes, and the sadness on his face quickly dissipated, and then he showed a gentle smile, "My nickname is 'Lin Yuan', you can call me by my nickname."
The word "Linyuan" kept turning around Jiang Yi's lips, and Jiang Yi's eyes showed confusion. In her eyes, Song Ke was born into a royal family, noble and calm. She could not imagine that his father and mother would give him the name "Linyuan".
But she didn't ask the question out loud, and only said, "Then I will call you 'Linyuan' from now on."
The look of her frowning eyebrows made Song Ke feel even more reluctant.
He thought for a moment and then spoke like this, "Little Jiang Yi is so happy today, but if you have any happy news, why don't you tell me and make Brother Lin Yuan happy?"
Jiang Yi was just about to talk to him about this matter, and when she heard it, she told Song Ke about her wet nurse coming over last night.
"Brother Linyuan, you don't know that my aunt had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me. I was raised by my wet nurse since I was a child. I'm very happy that she can come."
Song Ke said quietly, "You are so happy, it seems like you like your wet nurse more than me."
"Xiao Jiang Yi, I seem to be a little jealous."
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "How can this be the same?"
"Then tell me, who is more important to you, me or your wet nurse?" he asked her eagerly.
