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.
