Chapter 334 You can hire a wet nurse
Pei Yanchuan didn't give Song Zhuran another chance to go crazy. "Mo Ran, the sword!"
Pei Yanchuan usually doesn't carry any weapons with him when he goes out, and he rarely needs to use his hands except when he's on the battlefield.
Mo Ran tossed her longsword from mid-air to Pei Yanchuan, who caught it and thrust it towards Song Zhuran's heart. Song Zhuran dodged in time, but Pei Yanchuan seemed to be truly enraged, as he aimed for the kill with every move.
Forced to retreat repeatedly, just as Pei Yanchuan's long sword was about to pierce Song Zhuran's throat, Jiang Wanning cried out, "Your Highness."
Now is not the right time to kill Song Zhuran. Song Zhuran is cunning and must have left some clues before leaving the palace. In addition, Chen Jie will definitely use this matter to deal with Pei Yanchuan.
Not only him, but also the Song family, His Majesty will surely resent and suspect Pei Yanchuan because of Song Zhuran's so-called elixir of immortality.
That would be disadvantageous for Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan naturally knew what Jiang Wanning was worried about. "Ningning, don't worry, even if I kill her, I can still handle the rest."
"Your Highness, I also want to kill her, but given the current situation, we should spare her life."
Taking advantage of the moment, Song Zhuran turned and fled. Pei Yanchuan flicked his wrist, and his longsword flew through the air. "Ah—"
Song Zhuran fled, clutching her injured arm.
Pei Yanchuan stepped forward to comfort Jiang Wanning, "We could have killed her today."
“Killing her is a small matter, but eliminating the suspicions in the emperor’s heart and the prince consort is not easy. Now the emperor has already considered giving military power to Chen Jie, just so that Chen Jie can stand against us.”
"Your Highness, I know you are thinking of the Prince, but it is truly difficult to quell my hatred if I do not kill her today."
Jiang Wan Ning looked at Mo Ran, "Given Song Zhu Ran's personality, she must have gone there to kill my mother and Shi An. She took Shi An but didn't do anything. She was afraid that Chen Jie would find out and blame her for ruining his plans."
“Song Zhuran’s only weakness is Chen Jie. At that time, I deliberately said that Chen Jie was using her, and she must have been concerned about it.”
"There will definitely be suspicion and rift between the two of them, and Song Zhuran will definitely do something even more crazy in order to get Chen Jie."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Mo Ran asked, puzzled.
Jiang Wan Ning slightly curled the corners of her lips and said to Pei Yan Chuan, "I will have to trouble Your Highness to arrange another marriage for Prince Consort Chen Jie in front of His Majesty."
“I will naturally have Her Majesty the Empress convey this message to Song Zhuran.”
Looking at Jiang Wan Ning's smile, Mo Ran suddenly realized that the real sly one was his own princess.
“Let’s go back to the Marquis’s residence first.” Pei Yanchuan pinched Jiang Wan Ning’s cheek and took Jiang Shi’an from her arms. “He’s sleeping quite comfortably.”
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "Shi An is usually quiet and doesn't cry or make a fuss. In addition, Song Zhu Ran fed him some medicine to help him sleep better. I guess she was worried that Shi An would cry and ruin her plans."
Pei Yanchuan looked at his brother-in-law in his arms and gently pinched his round cheeks. The baby in the swaddling clothes felt a slight pain, whimpered and wiggled his body, his mouth moving constantly as if he was looking for food.
As soon as the two boarded the carriage, Jiang Shi'an, who had been unable to find food for a long time, started to cry loudly for the first time, a child who was usually quiet and didn't make a fuss.
Jiang Wanning and Pei Yanchuan stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Looks like it's hungry." Mo Ran poked her head in for a look.
Pei Yanchuan glared at him. "Nonsense."
Can't he tell he's hungry? The key question is, where will he get the milk to feed him?
Mo Ran scratched his head. "When a child is hungry, they need to be fed milk, and only women can do that..."
As Mo Ran spoke, he and Pei Yanchuan silently looked up at Jiang Wan Ning. Jiang Wan Ning crossed her arms and covered her chest, saying, "I don't have any milk."
"Where's your grandma?" Mo Ran asked instinctively. Pei Yanchuan kicked her, almost knocking her off the carriage. Pei Yanchuan looked at Jiang Wan Ning with suspicion, "It seems she's not here."
"Won't our children not have milk to drink in the future?"
"By the way, we can hire a wet nurse. I'll arrange for her to come to the manor tomorrow."
Jiang Wan Ning...
"Your Highness, there's no sign of a child yet. Isn't it a bit too early to find a wet nurse?"
"Not too early, not too early. Better safe than sorry," Pei Yanchuan said, as Shi An in his arms cried even louder, "Or perhaps..."
Jiang Wan Ning immediately refused, "Your Highness, that's my younger brother."
"Besides, I don't have milk either; only women who have given birth have it."
"What are you thinking? I would never let this brat take advantage of you, not anyone else." Pei Yanchuan said with a hint of jealousy, "I mean... I'll feed him."
Jiang Wan Ning almost choked on her saliva, but it seemed there was no other way at the moment.
“Your Highness has quite well-developed pectoral muscles, I think it’s good.” Jiang Wan Ning turned her head away.
"Mo Ran," Pei Yanchuan called out, "I'll borrow your chest for a moment."
His brother-in-law, of course, couldn't eat it either.
Mo Ran looked down at her chest, "Your Highness..."
"This is an order!" Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
Mo Ran looked at Jiang Wan Ning again, pitifully wanting Jiang Wan Ning to save her 'chest', but Jiang Wan Ning gave her a 'please, please' look first.
Mo Ran finally sighed and held out her hand, saying, "Give me the child."
"You come in, we'll go out," Pei Yanchuan said.
Mo Ran, holding the child, sat in the carriage when she suddenly poked her head out of the window. "Your Highness, Your Highness... could you please keep this a secret from me?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, the entire Marquis's mansion will be grateful to you, and we will definitely keep it a secret for you."
Mo Ran was finally relieved.
After a long while, Shi An's crying finally stopped, but instead Mo Ran's screams rang out, "Ah—"
"Young master, don't bite me! I'm about to fall off..."
The next day.
Everyone in the Marquis's and Prince's mansions knew that Mo Ran had served as a 'wet nurse' for half a day.
When Mo Ran came out of the house early in the morning, she saw Mo Qing, Haitang, Shaoyao A-San and others standing side by side in the courtyard, staring at Mo Ran's chest.
Mo Ran covered her chest with her hands, "What are you doing?"
"Greetings, wet nurse!" the others shouted in unison.
Mo Ran's face flushed red instantly, and he shouted, "Who told you that?"
She stormed up to Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning.
"The wet nurse has arrived," Pei Yanchuan said calmly. "There's nothing urgent today, so you can be granted a day off."
"Your Highness!" Mo Ran stamped her foot. "Didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone and would keep it a secret for me?"
"I said nothing."
Mo Ran looked at Jiang Wan Ning with a resentful expression.
Jiang Wan Ning also said in a serious tone, "I swear, it wasn't me either."
Mo Ran ultimately decided on Pei Yanchuan, but dared not say much. Her lifelong reputation was ruined in an instant. It wasn't until many years later, when Shi An called her "wet nurse" again and again, that everyone in the capital knew about Mo Ran's true identity.
