Chapter 155 Su Yinyin's Wet Nurse
At this moment, in the Duke's mansion, the Duke, the Duchess, and their eldest son, Li Yanche, were discussing the banquet to be held at Yong'an Mansion the next day in the study.
"Madam, tomorrow you should act according to the circumstances and cooperate with Yinyin. Yinyin just sent word. After the banquet, please go and collect all of your sister's dowry. Thank you for your help!"
"Che'er, remember to bring plenty of people, and also bring the dowry list. Wait at the Marquis of Yongyi's residence. Your mother and you represent the Duke's family."
"Father, rest assured, your son will certainly handle this matter well," Li Yanche replied respectfully. The Duchess also nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Meanwhile, Su Yinhan, inside Yong'an Prefecture, was listening to a report from the head maid.
"Reporting to Consort Su, everything has been arranged." The head maid reported cautiously.
Su Yinhan looked down at the kneeling nanny and sneered a few times: "Is that so? You were the one who handled everything back then. Tomorrow I want her to look exactly like she did back then, to recreate her former glory."
"If you handle it well, you'll enjoy endless wealth and luxury. If you don't, your granddaughter will have to enjoy that happiness in Su Yinyin's place!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman trembled uncontrollably. She knew Su Yinhan was cunning and resourceful. But Su Yinhan held the key to her weakness, and she was powerless to resist.
She thought that after betraying Su Yinhan, she would live a carefree life. But in the end, even after taking the money, she still had to work like a slave for Su Yinhan.
Now, my grandson and granddaughter are in someone else's hands. When will this end? "Your Highness, please spare my life! For the sake of this old servant's years of dedication, please spare my grandson and granddaughter."
Su Yinhan impatiently interrupted the old woman's pleas for mercy: "Enough, stop crying and whining. Doing your job properly is your way of survival."
The old woman could only kowtow and agree. She was now filled with regret, realizing she shouldn't have betrayed the young lady for personal gain.
If God gave her another chance, she would never do such a despicable thing.
Yes, this nanny is Su Yinyin's wet nurse, surnamed Li. All of Su Yinyin's movements and behaviors are deliberately orchestrated by this nanny.
After Su Yinyin was raped in the dilapidated temple, she wanted to commit suicide, but this wet nurse dissuaded her.
Su Yinyin wanted to write a letter to her maternal grandmother to inform her of this matter and seek her advice. It was this wet nurse who told Su Yinyin that the letter had been entrusted to a reliable person to be delivered to the old lady of the Duke's mansion. As it turned out, the wet nurse burned the letter.
Su Yinyin had considered telling the Marquis about it, but she was persuaded against it by her wet nurse's sweet talk.
After Su Yinyin became pregnant, she wanted to have an abortion, but it was this wet nurse who persuaded her, saying, "The child is a piece of your own flesh and blood, how can you bear to abort it? The fact that you got pregnant means that you are destined to have him/her."
Su Yinyin was thus persuaded in a daze. Fearing that Su Yinyin would be discovered and unable to carry out the rest of the plan, Su Yinhan instructed the wet nurse to give Su Yinyin some drowsy medicine.
As a result, Su Yinyin spent most of her time sleeping after becoming pregnant. Even when she woke up, she was in a daze.
In her room, the old woman pulled a cloth bag from under the bed. Only she knew what was inside.
She dusted off the cloth bag, blew out the oil lamp in the room, and carefully closed the door.
Under the cover of darkness, they arrived at Princess Yong'an's courtyard and knocked on the gate.
The gatekeeper heard the knocking and opened the door. It turned out to be the head maidservant serving Consort Su.
He asked with a displeased expression, "What is it, Granny Li?"
Granny Li whispered, "This old servant wishes to see the Princess. Please inform her, young sir." She then took out a silver ingot and handed it to the gatekeeper.
Seeing this, the servant dared not accept the money: "Please go back, Granny Li. The princess has already gone to sleep."
Granny Li refused to give up and added a few more ingots of silver, pleading, "Young master, today's matter is of great importance. Please inform them, otherwise this old servant will really have no way to explain."
The servant hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the money and went inside to report. A short while later, the servant came out and led Granny Li into the courtyard.
The princess was half asleep when she saw Li Mama enter, and she was surprised.
Upon seeing the princess, Granny Li knelt down with a thud and cried, "Greetings, Your Highness! I beg Your Highness to save this old servant's life!"
Seeing this, the princess was puzzled, but scolded, "What kind of behavior is this, old nanny, coming to me in the middle of the night crying and sobbing?"
Seeing this, Granny Li raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears and pleaded, "Please, Your Highness, save this old servant's life. If Your Highness does not save me, this old servant has no chance of survival."
"Hehehe, this is too funny! Li Mama, you are a favorite of Consort Su, why would you need me, the Princess Consort, to save you!"
The princess smiled, but inwardly she wondered what tricks Su Yinhan was up to this time. Was she targeting her, or the child in her womb?
The smile on her face slowly turned into a solemn expression. "Please speak freely, Granny. If you are truly innocent, I will protect you."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li hurriedly confessed all the bad things she had done, including her betrayals of Su Yinyin and Su Yinhan's current schemes and plots.
After hearing this, the princess frowned. "This Su Yinhan is so vicious. Yinyin is also a pitiful person. Nanny, since you have told me the truth, I can guarantee the safety of you and your granddaughter, but you must do as I say." Nanny Li kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
The princess instructed Li Mama to proceed according to the original plan and remain calm for the time being.
After receiving the princess's promise, Granny Li took out the cloth bag: "Your Highness, here is the evidence, all the evidence that Su Yinhan harmed the eldest young lady."
The princess gestured to the maid beside her to bring over the cloth bag, and said, "Don't worry, Granny Li, after tomorrow, you can leave with your grandson and granddaughter! I will arrange to rescue your grandson and granddaughter."
Seeing this, Granny Li kowtowed and thanked her profusely. After Granny Li left...
A maidservant asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with this? I'm afraid it's a trick by Consort Su. It might be harmful to Your Highness and the baby inside. What should we do?"
Princess Yong'an was overjoyed. She had been troubled by how to remove this thorn in her side, but now the evidence was in her hands. How could she not make good use of it and face the child in her womb?
If Su Yinhan behaved herself, she could turn a blind eye. There were other women, after all. But Su Yinhan was too ambitious, unable to tolerate her and the child in her womb; then don't blame her for trying to kill her!
She wanted to see the concubine, who had gained her position by stepping on her own sister's blood, end up with nothing, becoming a pariah whom everyone hated.
"It's alright. I will write a letter, and you will personally deliver it to Su Yinyin. Remember, it must be delivered to Su Yinyin."
"This servant will certainly not fail the Princess." The maid obeyed and left.
