Chapter 927 The Princess is a Living Bodhisattva Who Saves People from Suffering
When Shi Anxia learned that her husband was still alive but had to fake his death and hide, she began to carefully plan to take her children to Tiema City to "find her husband".
Among these, the control over the six wet nurses is particularly critical.
On the eve of her departure, she secretly ordered people to take away the children of the four wet nurses and properly place them - except for the children of Wang Mama and Zeng Mama's wives, whose families were already dependent on the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, so no additional arrangements were made.
This was a double insurance policy. If the wet nurses behaved themselves after returning to Beijing, the children would return home safely; if there were any unusual behavior, these children would be important bargaining chips to control them.
However, during the execution process, something went wrong on Nanny Su's side.
She originally thought that she had appeased her mother-in-law with the promise that "the princess will select a personal maid for the little princess in the future", but she didn't know that the old woman had already been partial to him.
Not only did he take the half jade copper coin left by Nanny Su's biological mother from the neck of his youngest granddaughter and give it to the eldest granddaughter, he was even more bold and switched the identities of his two granddaughters.
The cousins were of similar age, born only seven months apart. The old woman calculated that her daughter-in-law had been away in Tiema City for a long time, and it would be difficult to tell whether she was real or fake when she returned.
At that time, the people sent by An Xia to carry out the mission noticed something strange. How could there be anything as big as a one-year-old child?
He investigated and took Su Ma's biological daughter away on his own. As for the counterfeit that was replaced by the old woman, she remained in the Su family intact.
The Su family was in a panic at first because of the loss of their granddaughter, but they soon calmed down.
After all, in their eyes, it was just a "money-losing item" that could be lost if lost. Even Su Ma's husband just frowned and turned around to drink and gamble, not caring at all.
But no one expected that just two days later, the fake baby girl who was switched was taken away quietly.
On the night that An Xia and his party stayed at Qingliu Inn in Qingcheng, Yuanzhou, Nanny Su was lured out of her room with half a jade copper coin. As soon as she stepped into the remote stable, a cold hand grabbed her throat and forced her to drink a bowl of bitter medicine.
"Do your job well, and your daughter will be safe." The masked man pinched the half jade copper coin into several pieces and returned it to her. "If you dare to play tricks, your daughter will end up like this jade."
Nanny Su was shocked and frightened, her throat was burning with pain. What hurt her even more was that her daughter was in the hands of a bad guy.
She wanted to ask what she needed to do, but the mysterious man disappeared without answering.
Although Nanny Su is illiterate and has not seen much of the world, her mind is sharper than others.
That night, she stayed awake until dawn, thinking about many things over and over in her mind.
This medicine will not kill her immediately.
She was just a wet nurse, why would anyone do this to her? Unless the other party's target was the young marquis.
At dawn, she figured out the situation. The villain wanted to use her breast milk to harm the young marquis!
Nanny Su felt cold all over and was in a daze. If this was true, she would never be able to atone for her sins even if she died a thousand times! But her daughter was still in the hands of the bad guys, what should she do?
From that day on, she said she had a stomachache.
The wet nurse had an upset stomach, so her milk could not feed the young marquis. Usually, she and Nanny Zhang cared for each other and solved any problems on their own.
Nanny Zhang took over the duty for her without saying a word.
But in the long run, avoiding it is not a solution.
She had to confess everything to the princess. Did she trust the princess blindly? No.
But she knew one thing: once people like her were used up, they would be silenced.
If she died, her daughter would not survive.
Instead of doing that, she decided to take a gamble and ask the princess for help.
Nanny Su made the right bet.
When she told him everything, the princess did not show any surprise, as if everything was under control.
"I have been waiting for you to speak for seven whole days."
"You did a good job by not feeding poisonous milk to my son."
What shocked Su Ma the most was that the princess said that the person in the hands of the criminals was not her daughter, but the daughter of the eldest house of the Su family.
The princess said, "I have someone to take care of your daughter. Don't worry, she is doing well."
Nanny Su was sweating profusely, it was all a false alarm. For a moment she couldn't tell whether she was surprised that the princess had secretly taken her biological daughter away, or whether she hated her mother-in-law for being partial.
Shi Anxia asked Zhuo Qiran to prepare an antidote to remove the toxins in her breast milk.
The poison was called "delayed rupture" and was extremely difficult to detect. If a child drank the poisoned milk, when he started learning martial arts, his heart and veins would rupture and he would die.
At this moment, Nanny Su bowed her head with full piety, "I am willing to follow the princess for my whole life, no matter what identity the princess lets me live in."
Shi Anxia secretly sent Nanny Su away.
Su Ma was beaten to death and thrown into the river for poisoning the young marquis, but secretly she was sent to take care of the children of the wet nurses, including her own daughter.
Nanny Su turned a disaster into a blessing, and felt that the princess was a living bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.
At this time, the night was getting deeper, and the river breeze wrapped in broken snow hit the side of the boat, and the sky and the earth looked vast.
Bei Hui smoothed her hair, came in and bowed, "Madam, the master has told us that we need to change carriages in Gongcheng tomorrow. The snow is getting heavier, and I'm afraid the river will freeze over."
Shi Anxia nodded, "It's also a good opportunity to meet the magistrate of Gongcheng County and borrow some food from them on behalf of the people of Tiema City."
She let Bei Hui take off her hairpins and rings, and was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard three light knocks on the window frame.
Bei Hui understood and quickly opened the window from the inside. When someone came in, she smiled and bowed to greet him, "The young master is here."
Cen Yuan nodded at her, her clothes still carrying the damp chill of the river water and snow.
He raised his hand and took off the black scarf covering his face, and the candlelight flickered on the human skin mask.
Bei Hui was stunned to like Ye Xun because of the human skin mask. She lit the candle and left the room, went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup and glutinous rice balls and sent them in, and then waited in the cabin outside.
In the cabin, Cen Yuan still carefully took off the human skin mask, revealing his original face.
The man in black night suit looks mysterious and profound.
Shi Anxia stepped forward and skillfully undressed him. When her hand accidentally touched his ribs, she clearly felt her husband tremble.
"Does the injury still hurt?" she asked with concern.
He looked down at her, "Yeah, it's okay."
Shi Anxia frowned, "From now on, you can use the identity of Ye Xun to recover from your injuries. We can talk about other things later."
Cen Yuan responded, changed into a thick and comfortable brocade robe, and drank ginger soup to warm herself up.
Shi Anxia sat quietly beside him, watching him drink ginger soup.
After he finished drinking, she handed him the glutinous rice balls.
He was not picky about food, so he ate a few bites, wiped the corners of his mouth, and drank tea to moisten his throat.
Shi Anxia then propped up her chin and asked, "Did you see clearly, my husband? But that person?"
"Yes, Xie Yu is Cen Che." Cen Yuan showed a barely perceptible sadness, "Doesn't that person look very gentle and polite?"
Shi Anxia nodded, "He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and doesn't cause trouble. My husband thinks he was the one who sent people to threaten Madam Su?"
