Chapter 8
She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and followed the two children back to the house.
The main hall is not convenient for children to play, and there is a spacious soft couch in the princess’ bedroom, which is prepared for these two children.
There are also many neatly tidy toys next to the soft collapse. Cao Mi once played with one or two curiously. From the perspective of modern people, although these toys have limited playability, their preciousness is definitely rare for ordinary people.
The two children were not unfamiliar in her house, and when Cao Mi entered the house, they had already started playing. The toys that had been neatly arranged were messed up, and a few were thrown directly to the ground.
Cao Mi picked up a cloth tiger at his feet, sat beside the two children, and watched them fight for a small wooden sword.
The two were deadlocked for a while, but Qi Ran was obviously unable to take over his brother Qi An. He looked at the wooden sword that was already in Qi An’s hand, and suddenly wailed, turned around and cried to Chen’s side, “Nursing mother, I want… woo, I want a small wooden sword.”
Cao Mi was already immune to their reaction, and was pretending to watch Chen shi carefully comfort Qi Ran.
In fact, children are the most fair. Whoever gets along with them for a long time and who treats them well will like whomever they prefer.
Cao Mi remembered that when he was a child, he was sent to his grandmother’s house by his parents during the summer vacation. He was a lawless man for three months under the love of his grandmother. When the school started to leave, he cried and shouted that he would not let go of his grandma’s sleeves. I have lived in that warm farmhouse with my grandma all my life.
As the wet nurse of two children, it is not uncommon for Qi An and Qi Ran to be close to her. But Cao Mi never imagined that these two children would be raised by her to the extent that she only knew that the nursing mother did not recognize her mother.
Although the original body has always spent less time with the children due to lack of energy and physical reasons, Cao Mi believes that if Chen Shi does his duty as a servant and often mentions the existence of his biological parents to the two children, then this The two children will not be so indifferent to themselves.
What’s even more regrettable is that the original body did not find any problems before.
Seeing the two children getting close to the Chen family, although she had some taste, she always felt that when the children grew up, she would naturally know the difference between a maid and a biological mother.
Hey, it’s not like there has never been a situation where a little emperor was controlled by a wet nurse in Chinese history. Wasn’t there such a joke in this time and space?
Cao Mi fell into a trance just thinking about it, and it wasn’t until Qi Ran pulled her sleeve that she regained her senses.
“Ran Er, what’s wrong?” Cao Mi asked.
The twins look alike, but the third child has a faint tear mole under the corner of his right eye, so it is easy to distinguish.
“Mother.” Qi Ran’s mouth was flat, “Where is Steward Chen? I want to ask Steward Chen to ride a big horse for me!”
“Steward Chen?” Cao Mi thought to the point.
She pretended to be difficult, “Mother, mother doesn’t know about Chen Guanshi…”
“Liar!” Qi Ran jumped in anger.
This little chubby puffy cheek was inherited from the baby fat of the King of Bei’an, and his appearance was so cute that he couldn’t bear any negative emotions, “The nurse said, you know where Chen Guanshi is!”
Cao Mi paused, then turned to look at Chen Shi.
Chen Shi, who was still making the child laugh a quarter of an hour ago, is now covered with tears.
“What, what’s the matter?” Cao Mi asked at a loss.
Chen’s choked voice could no longer be suppressed, “Wu… husband, madam, please, please, please look at the villain, for the sake of hard work and hard work over the years, please protect me, Protect the last root of the Chen family… woo woo…”
Cao Mi was about to continue to accompany her to play, when he saw the two children who were playing by himself, seemed to be frightened by Chen’s cries, and began to cry together.
They stretched out their hands and crawled towards Chen’s side, “Nursing mother, uah…Nursing mother…”
Cao Mi hurriedly picked up the child to comfort him, but it didn’t work at all, so he could only take time out of the chaos to say something to Nurse Chen, “If you have something to say, why do you need this? An’er, Ran’er, don’t cry, Chen, come and help me.”
Hearing her order, Mrs. Chen held back her tears temporarily, and said to Qi An and Qi Ran, “Okay, Ange Erran, the princess is a kind-hearted mistress, she won’t embarrass me, you guys do not Cry.”
Hearing the words, the two children actually stopped crying one after another.
Cao Mi was relieved on the surface, but his heart was tightly twisted——
I’m afraid these two crooked children are no better than Qi Rui, who is suspected of suffering from anorexia!
No matter what Cao Mi thought in his heart, Chen’s side had already begun to complain about his grievances, “I heard from the backyard steward that my incompetent younger brother was locked up by his wife because he made a pretentious proposition to vent his anger on his behalf.
“He was a little reckless since he was a child, but he never had any bad intentions. Can Madam bypass him this time for the sake of his loyalty to the Lord?”
The “younger brother” in Chen’s mouth was naturally Chen Kang whom Cao Mi had just met in the morning.
Cao Mi originally thought that Xia Lin’s group was fighting the idea of ”abandoning soldiers to protect cars”. It turned out that they didn’t want to lose even one soldier or one soldier.
Chen Kang pleaded guilty and took everything on his own, and the Chen family took care of him with two children. According to the original character, this matter will definitely be gently exposed.
So Cao Mi sighed lightly, “Hey, why are you doing this? Could it be that I want to punish him? This matter was ordered by the lord himself, and I have to explain to the lord.”
After she sighed, she didn’t wait for Chen to continue to cry and pollute her ears, and continued: “But you don’t need to worry, I’m imprisoning him now, thinking that after a few days, the prince may forget about this matter. So that he can come out again. I originally planned to visit Mrs. Zhang in the afternoon, soothe her, and expose the matter. “
Cao Mi never thought of directly attacking Chen Kang. Without this pawn, how would she know which “car” Xia Lin wanted to protect?
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Chen really calmed down, and repeated “Princess Concubine’s kindness” several times.
Cao Mi shook his head.
She turned her head and turned her attention to the child again, but after a while, Mrs. Chen found an excuse to leave with the child, probably for fear of delaying her to appease Mrs. Zhang.
Cao Mi nodded noncommittally, and before she left, he said, “From today’s dinner onwards, An’er and Ran’er’s meals will be used in Jingming Courtyard.”
Chen Shi and the two children were stunned.
Qi An directly pouted, “Why? I don’t want it.”
Qi Ran didn’t react at all, but when he heard Qi An’s words, he replied unwillingly, “I don’t want it either!”
This nasty little jerk!
Cao Mi ignored their troubles and smiled lightly at Chen’s: “Rui’er has a bad appetite these days. Let these two little guys come to accompany him, maybe Rui’er can eat more.”
Chen shi nodded when he heard the words, comforted the two children, and left directly.
Cao Mi rubbed his aching forehead, took a deep breath, put the twins aside temporarily, called Xia Lin and Taozi, and walked to the Yilan courtyard where Zhang’s mother and daughter were.
When he came to the door of the Yilan Courtyard, Cao Mi did not enter the house directly, but called to the nanny in the courtyard to ask, “Is Mrs. Zhang awake? Why are the three of you outside the house?”
The only three servants in the courtyard shook their heads.
The eldest grandma dared to explain to Cao Mi: “Madam, we usually do some rough work outside the house, and Mrs. Zhang does not allow us to go into the house at will.”
Cao Mi was a little surprised.
It is said that this kind of mother with a child is exactly the time when someone needs help.
She swallowed the doubts in her heart, smiled, and said to the old woman: “Then, go to the door gently, say I’m here to visit, and ask Mrs. Zhang if it is convenient for me to enter.”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded and left.
Taozi was a little indignant behind Cao Mi, “Madam, it’s a blessing for you to come to see her, why do you still ask her if she will let us in?”
Cao Mi replied succinctly, “It’s always because we justified our losses before, it’s better to be more cautious.”
Taozi pouted, obviously still not very happy, and even Xia Lin added, “Madam’s previous health is not good, although it is true that she treated Zhang Shi badly, but it will not make her climb on her head.”
Cao Mi shook his head, “For the lord’s sake, I should give her some face. By the way, if it’s convenient for her later, I’ll just go in alone. Now she’s sick, and there are so many of us, I’m afraid I accidentally bumped into her.”
Taozi and Xia Lin were naturally reluctant, but they were both suppressed by Cao Mi.
Soon, the old woman came out and respectfully invited Cao Mi to enter.
Entering the house, Cao Mi saw Mrs Zhang standing by the door alone, saluting her, “Princess, you are safe.”
Cao Mi smiled and stepped forward to help her up, “Why did you get out of bed? Are you feeling better?”
Zhang Shi raised his head and looked at her indifferently.
To say that the original body suspects that the Zhang family and the King of Bei’an may have an affair is not without basis. Zhang Shi is only a middle-aged person, and now he has just suffered a serious illness, his face is a little pale, and his appearance that originally only scored six points has been cut off by three points.
But between her eyebrows, there was a faint taste of the dignified atmosphere of her original sister.
At this time, as a female guest who was treated harshly, she was neither humble nor arrogant when facing Cao Mi. There is no self-pity because of being wronged, and no cynicism because of injustice.
Cao Mi took her to sit down in the hall, and asked her about her situation for the past two days, and she responded lightly. When Cao Mi mentioned her visit and the tonic fabrics she brought, she just nodded lightly, showing no joy or anger.
After some confrontation, it was Cao Mi himself who was embarrassed.
Finally finished the courtesy process, Cao Mi talked about the business that he came over this time, “I have already found out a little about the matter of deducting the supplies in your yard. It was a greedy manager in the backyard who unknowingly sent what should have been sent here. Winter charcoal and food and clothing. I have already detained people, I don’t know you…”
She deliberately stopped here, and Mrs. Zhang took it over with understanding and said, “The villain is frightened. It’s all up to the lord and the princess to make the decision.”
Cao Mi felt a little at ease, and said again: “After all, it is your mother and daughter who have suffered grievances, and I always have to give you an explanation. By the way, apart from the shortage of supplies, you have been in the mansion for the past two months, and you have suffered a little. Other harsh treatment…”
Before Cao Mi could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a girl’s cry coming from the back room.
