Su Li said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Fei. The Emperor has already made arrangements. I've already bought you a house, land, and servants in Lin'an. After the matter is completed, someone will escort you away. Third Aunt's family is in Lin'an, so you can take care of each other. We can still come to Lin'an to find you when the time comes."

Mr. Fei nodded, tears suddenly flashed in his dazed eyes.

"It is a blessing for me, an old man, to meet you in this life. It has allowed me to enjoy so many years of peace and happiness in my old age. Don't worry, leave the rest to me."

Li Ma was reluctant to leave. She stepped forward to help Mr. Fei straighten his messy clothes and said with tears in her eyes:

"Remember to drink less when you get to Lin'an. There'll be no one around to take care of you. Don't get drunk and fall headfirst into the West Lake and drown. There'll be no one to collect your body!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Mr. Fei laughed foolishly.

"Can't bear to leave me, an old man? If you can't bear to leave, then come with me and take care of me. Oh, without you washing clothes and cooking for me, I feel like something is missing!"

Nanny Li blushed with embarrassment and punched Mr. Fei, cursing:

"I've been so nice to you on weekdays, right? Do you really think I'm your maid who washes your clothes and cooks for you? It's wishful thinking that I'll go with you!"

After cursing, she turned around and secretly wiped away her tears.

She was widowed at a young age, and her mistress placed her with the eldest daughter as a wet nurse to take care of her daily life.

This care lasted for more than 20 years.

She had long regarded the eldest daughter as her own child.

After years of playing and fighting with Lao Fei, she was reluctant to part with him suddenly. But she had never thought about leaving the eldest lady and living her own life.

Su Li saw all of this and kept it in mind.

As soon as Mr. Fei left, she pulled Madam Li and said:

"Mammy, if I told you to go to Lin'an with Mr. Fei, would you be willing?"

When Li Mama heard this, her expression froze. After a long while, she finally reacted and knelt on the ground crying:

"Ma'am, you don't want me anymore?"

"Mammy, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Su Li was frightened by Li Ma's kneeling and quickly pulled her up.

But Nanny Li refused to get up from the ground. She clung to Su Li's arm and cried:

"Madam, I have been with you for more than twenty years. I raised you with my whole life. How can you just say you don't want me?"

Su Li was so amused by Nanny Li's words that she quickly explained:

"Mammy, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly not want you? You are my wet nurse. I grew up drinking your milk. From childhood to adulthood, you are closer to me than my mother. I will take care of you until the end of your life."

"What about you?" Nanny Li blinked.

"Mammy, I know you were widowed at a young age and have no children, so you live a lonely life. It's only with Master Fei by your side these years that I see a smile on your face."

"Mammy, you can't live for others all your life. You should live for yourself once."

"Originally, if Mr. Fei had stayed in Shengjing, he wouldn't have had the chance to say these words. But now he's leaving after finishing that matter. Mammy, what are you thinking?"

When Nanny Li heard Su Li ask this, her old face turned red with shame.

Seeing her like this, Su Li had nothing to understand. She happily helped Nanny Li up and said:

"Mammy, this is a good thing. You've been busy by my side for half your life. Go south and enjoy your old age."

Nanny Li is not even fifty years old, which is almost retirement age in modern times. At this age, one should enjoy life and make up for the regrets of youth.

"lady!"

When Nanny Li thought about being separated from Su Li, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Madam, what will you do if I leave?"

Song Tao on the side smiled and said:

"Mammy, what are you talking about? You should just enjoy your old age. Don't you have me and Sister Songzhi here with Madam? Sister Songzhi's baby is already one month old. I just went to see her a few days ago. She said that in two months, once she has fully recovered, she will come back to take care of Madam. Don't worry, Madam."

"W-where's the young lady?"

Nanny Li was still worried. Since she had accompanied the Madam to marry, Xi Jie'er had always been with Nanny Li. To be honest, she was reluctant to let her go.

Su Li said, "Xi Jie'er is already so old, how can she live without someone? Besides, she has Qiu Mei and the others following her around all the time, what could possibly happen to her?"

When Xi Jie'er was a child, she was clingy and afraid of the dark, and always needed Li Ma to accompany her to sleep at night.

Now she has grown up and has her own secrets. She likes to talk in private with a few close maids who grew up with her behind closed doors. Sometimes, she, an old woman, can't even knock on the door.

"That Le brother..."

Nanny Li was always trying to find a reason for herself to stay. Su Li noticed this and burst out laughing.

"That's right, Le Ge'er is still young. Why don't you let Madam stay and take care of Le Ge'er as he grows up. It's just right. When Xi Jie'er has another child, Madam can take care of Xi Jie'er's child, and then there will be Le Ge'er's child..."

When Madam Li heard this, she became anxious.

"Hey, hey, hey, madam, what's the big deal? I worked so hard to raise you and Xijie'er, but now you're an old man and have to take care of Xijie'er's child and Lege'er's child. Madam, you can't just fleece me alone!"

"Hahahahaha."

Su Li and Song Tao hugged each other and laughed until tears were about to come out. They surrounded Li Ma on both sides and went back to the room.

"Don't worry, Mammy. I was just kidding."

"Come on, let's go back to your room and help you pack your things. Mammy, I heard from Madam that you can get a pension when you turn fifty. Madam, is that true?"

"Seriously! Mammy, not only does she have a pension, but I'll also give you a huge red envelope as a dowry!"

"What a mess! The more you talk, the more confusing it becomes!" Nanny Li scolded with a smile.

……

Here, Su Li arranged for Mr. Fei and Nanny Li to go to Lin'an.

Mr. Fei has already followed the palace carriage to the palace.

After taking the patient's pulse, Mr. Fei frowned.

The Queen Mother's heart was in a knot, but she didn't dare to urge him. Her handkerchief was almost torn to pieces in her anxiety. She cautiously tried to test him:

"Doctor Fei, how is it?"

Mr. Fei rubbed his signature rosacea and sighed:

"It's hard to handle!"

The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat, and she stood up in a hurry:

"What? Is there no hope at all?"

Mr. Fei shook his head:

"This illness is not a big deal for the emperor's dragon body, but he wants an heir..."

Mr. Fei dragged out the last word, whetting the Queen Mother's appetite, and then he said in a resounding voice:

“It’s impossible in this lifetime.”

Upon hearing the bad news, the Queen Mother fell down on her chair with a thud.

Doctor Liu, who was standing by, wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, "Master Fei is really amazing. He dares to say such words. If it were me, I'd probably be..."

Hey, why is he here...

If I heard this royal secret, would I be beheaded?

Or I can go back and find a reason to retire and return home.
