Ning Yu froze in place, his face pale and beads of sweat breaking out on his back.
Did the Marquis discover something?
Ning Yu pinched her palms and forced herself to calm down, "My Lord, I didn't get any of the young master's urine on me..."
Shen Zongyu's face was stern and his whole body exuded an icy aura. Although he didn't say a word, the aura around him became increasingly fierce.
Ning Yu swallowed subconsciously, thinking, if I just wiped my face lightly with a handkerchief, it shouldn't wash away anything, right?
Ning Yu walked to the wooden basin, bent down, scooped up a handful of warm water, and gently splashed it on her cheek, revealing a piece of white skin.
Ning Yu wanted to stop, but a man's cold voice came from above her head, "Continue."
Ning Yu bit her red lips and said, "Just wash it. It's not like she has done anything to be rude."
Soon, the gloom on his face gradually faded away.
Ning Yu raised her chin slightly, with a few drops of water on her face, like a lotus in clear water. The bottom of her eyes seemed to be rippling with the scenery of lakes and mountains, as if hiding a hook, which attracted Shen Zongyu's gaze.
Shen Zongyu stared at it in amazement, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had already guessed that the little nurse had concealed her appearance with powder, but he never imagined that she was so stunning and beautiful.
No wonder he hid his face when he was on the road. If he were seen by others, he would definitely be stared at by countless people and might even be kidnapped.
Shen Zongyu realized that he had been staring for too long and looked away calmly.
At this moment, there was a sound of slow and steady footsteps outside the door.
Chen Si strode in. Seeing Changping Hou Shen Zongyu, a flash of surprise flashed through his heart. He saluted as usual, "Greetings, father."
Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw the wet nurse beside Shen Zongyu. She had her head lowered and could not see anything.
Shen Zongyu subconsciously didn't want anyone to see the little nurse's appearance, so he quietly blocked the person and said, "Go to Jingtao Pavilion and get a change of clothes."
Ning Yu nodded in agreement and hurried past Shen Si.
Chen Si took a quick glance and could only see the wet nurse's flawless profile. Her eyelashes were trembling and there were a few drops of water on her eyes, making her look pitiful.
Is this the same wet nurse he saw last time?
After Ning Yu left Shi'an Garden, he quickly took out the medicine powder and applied it on his face before walking towards Jingtao Pavilion with peace of mind.
Before he could get close, he was stopped by the guards.
Ning Yu was not surprised and said softly, "Big brother, I am Lady Ning, the young master's wet nurse. The Marquis asked me to get a change of clothes."
The guard looked her over and said, "Wait here."
Soon, Wei Qi came over with a set of clean clothes and saw a familiar face. Wasn’t that the woman who stood next to the Marquis on the way back?
I didn't expect that she would become a wet nurse in the mansion.
Is it a coincidence?
Wei Qi was a little wary and took the initiative to say, "I'll go and see you off. You go back first."
Ning Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wei."
Wei Qi rushed over and was about to hand the clothes to Shen Zongyu, but was met with a look of disgust, "Where is she?"
Wei Qi shed tears silently in his heart, he now understood.
The Marquis wanted the wet nurse to bring him clothes, not him, a rough man.
Wei Qi explained, "I thought that the wet nurse was someone sent by the emperor..."
Shen Zongyu thought of the way the little nurse trembled when she saw him, and sneered, "Do you think she's a spy?"
On the other side, Ning Yu was groping in the dark and preparing to return to Shi'an Garden.
Not far away, a man's figure gradually approached. Ning Yu took in his appearance, his heart beating fast as he whispered, "Greetings, Young Master."
Chen Si thought of the stunning glimpse he had just had and ordered firmly, "Raise your head."
Ning Yu slowly raised her face, but her eyelids were drooping.
Chen Si squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully. No matter how he looked at her, she was just an ordinary woman. He was sure that he was not mistaken.
unless·····
Chen Si raised his hand and touched her face...
A cold voice came from behind, "What are you doing?"
When Shen Si heard the familiar voice, he felt confused. Why was his father here?
Perhaps to answer his doubts, Shen Zongyu's dark eyes glanced at Ning Yu, and his tone was calm, "Sir, come with me to the study."
Shen Si no longer cared about the wet nurse and left with Shen Zongyu.
Ning Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to the side room to get out the medicine powder and applied it again. Only when he saw his appearance in the bronze mirror did he relax.
The news that the two male masters of the Marquis' Mansion had gone to see the young master soon reached the Crown Prince's wife Yuan Xian.
Yuan Xian was wearing only her underwear, her long black hair loose, and her pearl hairpins removed. She looked lazy, "Are you saying that the Marquis and the Crown Prince went to visit Jing'er?"
"Yes, the Marquis also brought the Young Master to the study. I guess they had something to discuss," Nanny Yuan reported truthfully. Suddenly, she added, "The Marquis seemed to like the Young Master very much. He stayed for at least a quarter of an hour."
Yuan Xian smiled slightly, "It seems that the Marquis thinks highly of Jing'er. This is a good thing."
"By the way, how is the newly hired wet nurse?" Yuan Xian asked casually.
Nanny Yuan said, "Don't worry, Madam. Madam Ning has hardly left the courtyard in the past half month and seems to be a well-behaved person."
Yuan Xian nodded lazily and picked up a pearl hairpin. "In that case, I'll give her this purple mandarin duck flower hairpin and the pieces of fabric in the warehouse..."
The next morning.
After Ning Yu finished feeding the young master, she returned to the side room. Nanny Yuan was already sitting on the throne. Her tone was as if conferring a gift, "Madam Ning, these are a reward from the Crown Prince's wife..."
"Thank you, Madam Crown Prince."
Ning Yu secretly estimated how much silver the pearl hairpin could be worth. The material of these pieces of cloth looked good. She could make bellybands for the two little ones.
Nanny Yuan glanced outside the door before asking, "Madam Ning, what happened in the young master's room last night?"
Ning Yu suddenly realized that he wanted to ask about the Marquis.
"The Marquis just hugged the young master."
Ning Yu naturally couldn't tell the Marquis that the young master had urinated on him. If he knew that it was her who spread the rumor, she might lose her life.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Nanny Yuan's eyes as she warned, "Young Master, no matter what happens, you must report it immediately."
Ning Yu knew what Nanny Yuan meant, but she didn't want to stare at Shen Zongyu, and she didn't even have time to hide.
He agreed perfunctorily.
As night gradually falls, the sky is covered with a black cloak, with only the twinkling stars and the loud chirping of cicadas.
Shen Zongyu closed his eyes and frowned tightly.
He dreamed of the time in Chunshen Tower when the woman had everything under her control and allowed him to experience the joy of love for the first time.
The woman's slender waist twisted slightly, and the charming moan from her throat was so moving that people couldn't stop.
Later, he didn't know whether he was controlled by drugs or relying on instinct...
