After Su Yue sent Qin Yi to the study in the front yard, she slowly walked back to her room and leaned on the couch to take a rest. Not long after, the maids and servants of Fang Zhixuan led Fu Bao to the main house. Seeing this, Su Yue hurriedly stood up and signaled the nurse to put Fu Bao on the couch.

The name Fubao sounds like a lucky name, but the child in front of him is in stark contrast. The one-and-a-half-year-old child is skinny and looks nothing like a child from a marquisate. Instead, he looks more like a refugee. The clothes he wears also seem a bit loose and ill-fitting, as if they were put together at random.

The nurse carefully placed the young master on the small couch, but the little guy seemed a little shy and clung to the dress of the maid Dongqing who came with him and refused to let go. Dongqing looked at Su Yue with a hint of timidity in her eyes and said softly, "The young master is a little shy, so the nurse and I usually take care of him."

Su Yue stared at Fu Bao in front of her. The child had delicate features and some of Aunt Cheng's features, but she couldn't find any similarities with Qin Yi. She couldn't help but sigh that the child's life was pitiful. Although he had been recognized by the Marquis's Mansion, there were still doubts about his true identity and whether he belonged to the Marquis's bloodline. Perhaps because of this, the servants in the mansion seemed to be quite negligent in taking care of him, far less attentive and thoughtful than they were to other young masters.

Thinking of this, Su Yue became more and more confused. Cheng Yi Niang was Fu Bao's biological mother, so she should have taken extra care of her. How could she let him go and ignore him? In the past, Cheng Yi Niang always acted as if she was afraid that he would snatch her son away. I thought she would devote all her efforts to this child, but now it seems that she is just so-so.

Su Yue looked at the nanny and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The nurse bowed her head and replied, "My maidservant's surname is Song, and everyone in the mansion calls me Nanny Song."

Su Yue nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Madam Song, where are you from?"

Nanny Song replied respectfully, "I came here with Aunt Cheng from the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion. I am the child of the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion." Su Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "So, how old is your child now?"

Nanny Song's eyes flashed with tenderness, and she replied, "He is taken care of by my mother-in-law, who is three months older than the young master."

Su Yue's heart moved, and she asked, "Is Fubao able to speak now? What does he eat every day?" Nanny Song replied, "The young master only eats my breast milk every day, and no other food is added."

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but frown. A one-and-a-half-year-old child hasn't started to add complementary food yet, no wonder he looks so thin. Presumably his language ability is also developing slowly, and his growth in all aspects is probably not ideal. She secretly sighed, this Marquis's wife really found a difficult job for herself!

Su Yue turned around and called out to Fu Bao, who was clinging to Dong Qing on the couch: "Fu Bao, I'm your mother."

Fubao looked at Su Yue with his eyes wide open, a little scared. Su Yue smiled at him and clapped her hands to signal him to come to her. Fubao looked at Su Yue with a little fear, but Su Yue found that the child's eyes were not like those of a one and a half year old child. There was no innocence in his eyes, but dullness. Su Yue didn't know what the child had been through. Could the child be sick?

Su Yue slowly approached Fu Bao, trying to make him relax. She spoke to him softly, telling him that she would not hurt him.

There was a hint of confusion in Fubao's eyes, but gradually, he seemed to feel Su Yue's kindness, and his body was no longer so tense.

Su Yue reached out to touch Fubao's little face, but Fubao suddenly burst into tears, scaring everyone.

"The young master is shy. Maybe I scared him." Nanny Song quickly explained.

Su Yue was a little helpless, but she did not give up. She decided to take good care of Fubao from today on and let him feel the real love.

"You guys go down first. I want to stay alone with Fubao for a while." Su Yue said to everyone.

After everyone left, Su Yue tried to approach Fu Bao again, but this time she was more cautious. It was easy for a child to get close to others, and he was good at judging whether others were kind or malicious towards him.

Su Yue hugged Fu Bao tightly, and suddenly she noticed that her touch seemed to make Fu Bao tremble and shrink slightly. Su Yue became suspicious and could not help but observe carefully. She gently lifted Fu Bao's clothes, and when she saw that those private parts of Fu Bao's body were covered with bruises, her heart suddenly tightened.

These bruises were shocking, and it was hard to imagine that such a young child had been treated so cruelly. Su Yue stared at the scene in disbelief with her eyes wide open. Her heart was filled with anger, as if it was about to burst out.

What kind of person could inflict such terrible abuse on such a small life? Su Yue could not understand or accept it. She caressed the scars on Fubao's body with heartache, and tears could not stop flowing down. This poor child should have enjoyed a carefree childhood, but he suffered such great pain unknowingly.

Su Yue decided that she would never let this happen again. She wanted to protect Fubao, keep him away from harm, and let him regain happiness and security. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of being a human being?

Su Yue called the people who came to take care of Fu Bao. Fu Bao had a wet nurse and two maids. One was Dong Qing, whom Su Yue had just met, and the other was Ging Xing. Nanny Song, Dong Qing and Ging Xing came in together and watched Su Yue holding Fu Bao and rocking her gently, humming a lullaby. Fu Bao's little hands grabbed Su Yue's clothes and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.

They wanted to pay their respects, but the accused Su Yue shushed them. Su Yue asked Chen Xiang to carry Fu Bao into the inner room.

Su Yue asked Nanny Song and the others to kneel down without saying anything. The anger in Su Yue's heart made her not know what to say. These people were not worthy of being human beings. How could they be called human beings when they bullied such a young child who could barely speak?

Nanny Song Dongqing and Ginkgo didn't know why Su Yue asked them to kneel here. They looked at each other. Su Yue watched their little movements from above and suddenly asked, "How do you usually take care of the young master?"

"In reply to Third Young Madam, we servants have always done our best to take care of the young master." Nanny Song answered tremblingly.

Su Yue looked at Dong Qing and Ginkgo again and asked, "What about you two?"

Dongqing and Ginkgo also said in unison: "This servant will also do his best to take care of the young master."

Su Yue sneered, "Do your best? You will say the same thing when we get to the Marquis's place later!"

Nanny Song and the other two were immediately panicked, "This... this..."

Su Yue ignored them and asked Chenxiang to take the young master to Zhichunyuan.

Su Yue entered Zhichun Courtyard, handed Fubao to Madam Hou, and told her what she had found. Madam Hou was shocked. She had just wanted to find something for Su Yue to do, but she didn't expect to find such a heartbreaking thing.

Madam Hou looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and asked sternly, "What happened to Master Fubao's injury? Is this how you take care of him day and night? Who of you did it?"

Nanny Song, Dongqing and Ginkgo were all kneeling there trembling.

Madam Hou: "Come here, drag him out and give him twenty lashes, then sell him."

Dong Qing kowtowed when he heard this, and then said, "It was Aunt Cheng. Aunt Cheng pinches the young master when she's in a bad mood. Now the young master doesn't dare to go near Aunt Cheng. He will cry when he sees her."

Su Yue looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you come to the main courtyard and tell me?"

Dongqing and the other three just kowtowed and begged for mercy

Madam Hou immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and severe punishment for those who abused Fubao. She asked Su Yue to take Fubao back to rest first, and she would handle the matter.

Su Yue rushed back to Yunxiao Courtyard anxiously, her mood was extremely heavy. As soon as she entered the door, she hurriedly called Chenxiang and asked her to carefully check Fubao's injuries and make sure that no potential problems were missed.

Chen Xiang carefully examined Fu Bao's body. After careful observation and diagnosis, they found that Fu Bao had no other serious internal injuries except for a slight delay in physical development and some flesh wounds. This made Su Yue feel a little relieved, but her worries were not completely eliminated.

When Su Yue stared at Fu Bao's dull eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that children's minds were often more fragile than their bodies, and the torture Fu Bao had experienced might have been deeply imprinted in his young heart. However, it was still unclear how deep the injury was and whether it would leave a permanent shadow on him.

For many people, the trauma suffered in childhood really takes a lifetime to heal. Su Yue couldn't imagine why Aunt Cheng would treat her own son so cruelly. This behavior was simply outrageous. She began to doubt whether Aunt Cheng had any moral bottom line. This terrible behavior made Su Yue feel horrified.

Su Yue decided to do her best to protect Fubao, give him warmth and love, help him get out of the shadows, and regain happiness and health. At the same time, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never allow such a thing to happen again, whether it was against Fubao or any other innocent children. Children are Su Yue's last bottom line, and no one has the right to hurt these lovely little angels! Think about it, children are the most beautiful gift God has given us! They trust us adults wholeheartedly, but some people have lost their humanity and ruthlessly hurt these innocent little guys. This behavior not only brings physical trauma to children, but more seriously, it will distort children's cognition of the whole world, and then affect the development direction of their entire life path. This is undoubtedly a lifetime of destruction and destruction for children, and it is absolutely intolerable!

Before going to bed that night, Taozi said to each other, "Mrs. Cheng was sent to the farm by the Marquis's wife, and Nanny Song was beaten with 20 boards and sent back to the Marquis of Weiguo's mansion. Dongqing and Yinxing were also beaten with 20 boards and sent to the laundry room to do rough work."

Su Yue gently patted Fubao's back, humming a lullaby, and looking at Fubao's cute sleeping face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This little guy is so adorable!" Thinking back to what had just happened, although Mrs. Hou might have done it out of face or out of pity for Fubao, she finally made the right choice, which made people feel very relieved.

Looking at Fubao's peaceful sleeping face, Su Yue's heart was filled with maternal love. At this moment, Su Yue decided to put down the burden of the past and devote herself to the present life. She wanted to cherish the relationship between her and Qin Yi. No matter what happened in the future, at least they were sincere to each other at the moment. Perhaps, this is the meaning of life - live in the present and enjoy every moment.

Su Yue decided to spend more time with Fubao, teach him how to talk and walk, and make delicious food for him. She wanted Fubao to grow up healthy and happy. Even though his background was unknown, in her heart, Fubao was her child.

Su Yue was lying on the bed thinking. First, she had to invite the best physician to take care of Fubao's health; she also had to personally select suitable clothes and toys for Fubao; she also had to arrange complementary foods for him, and she would also patiently teach Fubao to read and write in the future.

This also reminded her of her son's childhood. She didn't know if it was transference of feelings to Fubao. In any case, Su Yue felt that there was still some hope in life here and the future could be bright.
