The evil woman wears the clothes quickly: the abstinent male protagonist loses control and falls

Chapter 239: The Little Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion VS His Royal Highness the Noble Crown Prince (28)

Tang Wanrou did understand Nanny Chen, but she forgot one thing. As a mother, how could she just let go of her child?

Xiaoting felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words, so she could only shut up.

Late at night, the sloppy man came to see Nanny Chen again. After all, Nanny Chen was the Crown Princess' confidant, so the guards on night watch were willing to make concessions.

Nanny Chen was already in a daze, but although she had some resentment towards Tang Wanrou at the moment, she did not hate her.

When Nanny Chen saw the sloppy man, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were fixed on the man.

The sloppy man's legs were shaking. He was already in a miserable state, and now he was even more frightened. When he saw Nanny Chen, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

"What are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you to stay home and wait for news? The Crown Princess has already promised me to send someone out to look for her son. What are you doing here now?"

Nanny Chen lowered her voice and roared, which seemed extremely creepy in the quiet and cool summer night filled with the chirping of cicadas.

The sloppy man took out a small rectangular wooden box with trembling hands.

The moment she saw the wooden box, Nanny Chen's heart inexplicably froze for a moment, as if thousands of tiny needles were piercing her skin, causing her excruciating pain.

She had a bad feeling, but she couldn't believe it. "What...what is this?"

The sloppy man couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

"This is my son's finger. There's a birthmark on it. There's no mistaking it. But they didn't leave any note or letter, and I didn't catch them. What should I do? My son's finger has been cut off. What on earth do these damn people want?!"

Nanny Chen staggered.

My head is buzzing.

My vision went dark and I almost fainted.

In the end, she pinched her thigh hard to avoid fainting.

She couldn't fall down yet, her son was waiting for her to save him.

Nanny Chen quickly calmed down, squatted on the ground to pick up the small wooden box, slowly opened it and saw a little finger stained with blood, with the birthmark she was most familiar with on it. It was undoubtedly her son's finger.

"Go back and wait. Since they kidnapped my son and returned my finger, and since they didn't ask for money and didn't leave any letters, it proves that they have other interests. Go back and wait, and report to me if you have any news."

The sloppy man wanted to cry, but was slapped by Nanny Chen and became silent.

"Get lost! My son is waiting for me to save him. I don't have time to care about you now. However, if you delay me from saving my son because of your cowardice, I will definitely send you to hell!"

The sloppy man was frightened by the look in Nanny Chen's eyes.

He covered his face and got up, not daring to say no again, and ran and stumbled out of the Prince's Mansion in silence.

Nanny Chen held the small wooden box as if she were holding some treasure.

Silent tears fell from her face, which was already covered with wrinkles and ravines. The years left permanent marks on her face.

These traces are proof that she grew up with Tang Wanrou and gave up her own son.

Because of Tang Yu's mother's incident, the Prime Minister's Mansion did not hire any new servants for several years, for fear that outsiders would find out that the Prime Minister was not married for life and lose face.

Therefore, her husband and son could not enter the Prince's Mansion and had to live outside. She chose to serve Tang Wanrou at that time, and she stayed there for nineteen years.

In the past 19 years, she has seen her son only a few times a year, but she is sincere to Tang Wanrou.

But now.

She regretted it deeply.

If she had been with her son, wouldn't this have happened? Her son wouldn't have become addicted to gambling, wouldn't have been kidnapped, and wouldn't have had his fingers cut off.

She regretted it.

But she couldn't do anything. She still had to rely on the Crown Princess to help her find her son. But was she still as sincere to Tang Wanrou as she was at the beginning? She herself didn't know.

The next day.

Tang Yu woke up in the morning and washed up, rinsing his mouth with a cup inlaid with gold threads, and then spitting into the basin held by the maid. He put on his clothes, a white dress as white as snow, and a graceful figure. His long hair was combed into a flying fairy bun with a set of white jade hairpins.

After the rest of the maids were driven out and only Xiaoyuan, Xiaotao and Tang Yu were left in the room, Xiaotao spoke.

"Master, our people gave Mr. Chen's severed finger to that man yesterday."

Xiaoyuan also reported her findings while tracking Nanny Chen.

"That's right. The man gave the severed finger to Nanny Chen. Nanny Chen looked very devastated. Her steps were unsteady and she looked like she had aged several dozen years. She also went to beg the Crown Princess as the master had expected."

"But now that the flower viewing banquet is approaching, Concubine Wan's daily interest is to go against the Crown Princess, so the Crown Princess is also distracted and does not want to give up her power. The two of them are fighting like fighting cocks."

"So although the Crown Princess sent people, she only sent a few incompetent people to look for Nanny Chen's son. I think Nanny Chen already has resentment in her heart."

Tang Yu looked out the window. It was already July. She had been in the Prince's Mansion for more than half a month, and so many things had changed in a flash.

It's interesting.

"Tonight, Xiaoyuan will give the firefly grass to Nanny Chen and ask her to replace it with Tang Wanrou's jade pendant. Tell her that if she dares to tell the truth, her son's life will be in jeopardy."

Xiaoyuan accepted the order and said yes with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Nanny Chen's surprised look. She usually bullies us, but now we have finally caught this old venomous snake at her weak spot! Let's see if she dares to be arrogant to the master in the future."

Tang Yu suddenly thought of Ning Chen. It had been so many days, and this man seemed to have disappeared since the last time. If it were normal times, Tang Yu would not care about his life or death at all.

But she will have to step on him to reach a high position in the future.

How can I not care about the boss's thoughts?

"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not summoned anyone yet?"

Xiao Tao shook her head, "My Lord, no, except for attending court, I stay in the study to deal with memorials, and then I either sleep in the study or go back to Zhaoyang Palace, never stepping into the backyard."

"As for whether he has favored other people, I don't know. Last time, Ning Liangyuan went to deliver soup at noon and stayed for an hour. I don't know if it happened..."

Tang Yu shook his head decisively.

impossible.

Ning Chen couldn’t finish it in an hour, so how could he possibly finish it?

Unless he took the wrong medicine these days and is dying.

Tang Yu began to wonder when Ning Chen became like this, it seemed like it was that night when she acted out the affectionate scene.

Deliberately performed for Ning Chen to see.

Could it be that this man was frightened? Or did he promise to help her punish the Crown Princess but didn't, and then he was too guilty to enter the backyard.

Hiding from her.

But Tang Yu thought about the flower viewing banquet, so it didn't matter if he hid. He would come over after the banquet.

Tang Wanrou was preparing for a flower-viewing banquet and canceled the greetings for the past few days. Tang Yule was very relaxed.

At this moment, Nanny Chen's face looked even worse. She had not drunk a sip of water or eaten a grain of rice since she received the news yesterday.

She also wanted to ask the Crown Princess if she could help her find her son.

As soon as I walked outside the Star-Moon Palace, I heard Xiaoting's voice coming from inside.

"My lady, I heard that Nanny Chen's husband came to see Nanny Chen again last night. I think the matter this time is a bit serious. I don't know if Nanny Chen's son can be found."

Nanny Chen, who was listening outside, was hopeful.

Then Tang Wanrou's impatient voice was like sending hopeful Nanny Chen into hell.

"The people I sent to investigate found out that her useless son was captured because he was addicted to gambling. In my opinion, he deserves it. Whether he can be found or not depends on fate. I'm sure Nanny Chen knows this herself."
