Hua Niang rolled her eyes in disdain. "Fifty taels is good for you, but when you were accompanying a guest just now, you jumped into the water and scared him. Don't I have to pay you back? And what about those clothes, jewelry, and makeup you're wearing? Could they have been blown here by the wind?"

Zi'er said gloomily, "I can give you five hundred taels of silver, but I don't have it with me. You can go to Li Wangfu to ask for it. Our wife of the Marquis of Zhan Yifu will never refuse to pay!"

Hua Niang was so frightened that her face immediately turned pale and ugly. She never expected that she would actually provoke someone from Li Wangfu.

She didn't dare to really go and ask for the debt!

I’m afraid I might even lose my life!

She immediately snatched the fifty taels of silver from Zi'er's hand and said, "This is enough money. You should pay me back the amount I spent on it. We will cancel each other out and we won't owe each other anything anymore!"

After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry.

It was as if he was afraid that Zi'er would regret it and ask her to return it!

Ling'er had already found a carriage by now. The two of them helped Nanny Feng up, and she burst into tears.

Zi'er soothed her softly, "Don't cry, our Madam will take care of it for you!"

When she returned to Prince Li's Mansion, Lin Yiwan learned the whole story. She was so angry that she ordered people to send Feng Ma's husband and mother-in-law to the government.

Soon they were charged with murdering young girls and were exiled to the border.

Nanny Feng was ill and almost lost her milk.

Fortunately, after Lin Yiwan's treatment, her body recovered quickly.

But for some reason, Mu'er refused to drink her milk anymore.

Lin Yiwan was very confused. It had only been a few days since they separated, and her son was already getting tired of the old and loving the new?

When she told her mother, Lin Su, about this, she frowned and pondered, "Wanwan, children won't lie. Once he gets used to the smell of his wet nurse, he'll become very dependent on her. Even if he's away from her for a while, once he gets used to her, he'll still snuggle into her arms!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. Ever since Nanny Feng came back, her son refused to go into her arms.

And she was crying so hard, as if something had happened to him!

Unless, she is not Nanny Feng at all!

Thinking of this, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She called Zi'er and Ling'er over and asked them to repeat everything that happened when they went to Nanny Feng's house.

At first, there was nothing suspicious, and even after re-interrogating Nanny Feng, the man could not find any clues.

Just as Lin Yiwan was lost in thought, Nanny Feng came to her door with a face full of guilt and said, "Madam, I am going to try to raise the eldest young master again. If this fails, I will not be able to continue living in the mansion!"

Lin Yiwan spoke inconspicuously, "Madam Feng, there's no rush to feed him. Didn't you just recover? The government just sent word that your husband wants to see you before he leaves. Are you still willing to go see him?"

Nanny Feng shook her head vigorously: "No, he killed my daughter. I never want to see him again!"

Lin Yiwan pretended to sigh, "I was expecting you to say that, but he sent the token of your love over here. I accepted it for you. Keep it safe. It's a way to fulfill your relationship as husband and wife!"

She took out an ordinary jade pendant and handed it to Nanny Feng, who stuffed it into her sleeve without even looking at it.

Lin Yiwan's face immediately flashed with murderous intent. After a moment, she slowly spoke, "Madam Feng, do you know that the jade pendant you just accepted was not given by your husband at all?"

"Madam, what do you mean?" Nanny Feng's face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously clenched her fingers hidden in her sleeves.

Lin Yiwan suddenly approached her: "I said, you are pretending to be Aunt Feng, you are not her at all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Feng, who had been looking uneasy just now, immediately changed her expression. She quickly took a sharp dagger and stabbed it towards Lin Yiwan's throat!

Zi'er rushed over immediately, twisted her arm with both hands, and knocked her dagger to the ground.

Nanny Feng roared at the top of her lungs, "Madam Hou, what right do you have to wrong me? Ever since your son was born from your womb, he has thrived on my milk. Are you trying to kill me by slandering me like this?"

Her voice was so loud that it soon attracted the attention of several wet nurses in the inner courtyard.

The faces of several wet nurses all looked unhappy. They looked at Lin Yiwan cautiously while looking at Nanny Feng.

Nanny Feng knew how to manipulate people's hearts. She cried and said, "Everyone, although we are of low status, we are all wholeheartedly devoted to the children. I ask you, which of you has not abandoned your own children to come here to feed the young masters? How can you tolerate such bullying?"

It must be said that this statement completely caused the other wet nurses to join in the discussion: "Madam, why do you doubt Nanny Feng? We have all seen how she treats the eldest young master. She is afraid that he will be hungry or thirsty. Even though her arms are sore from exhaustion, she still refuses to let him sleep, just because he will not sleep well!"

Lin Yiwan's dim eyes swept over the crowd. She knew better than anyone that if she didn't give these wet nurses a reasonable reason, she would probably lose the support of the people.

After all, the children are already familiar with them, and it would be very troublesome to replace them at this time.

She met Aunt Feng's slightly smug look, frowned, and asked, "You said I wronged you, didn't you?"

She nodded heavily: "Heaven is above, and the thick earth is my witness. You have wronged me, and you must give me an explanation!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "Alright, since you want an explanation from me, I'll make a bet with you. As long as it's my fault, I'll let you do whatever you want!"

Nanny Feng stared at her suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "I want to test whether your milk is poisonous or not, to determine if you have any evil intentions!"

Nanny Feng froze, and subconsciously took a step back: "How are you going to try?"

Everyone was also very confused. Could it be that the Marquis' wife wanted to use her own son to test the poison? That was too risky, right?

Lin Yiwan ordered someone to call Lin Xiaoruan. Since the little girl was studying medicinal herbs, she raised several snow-white, fat mice for experiments.

To avoid being criticized, Lin Yiwan asked all the men in the mansion to leave.

Only a few wet nurses and maids were left as witnesses!

She warned in a serious tone, "Madam Feng, you put the milk into the porcelain bowl yourself. As long as these little white mice can eat it without any harm, I will wrong you. If you want to beat me or punish me, I will definitely not hesitate!"

Panic flashed in Nanny Feng's eyes. She bit her lips tightly and dared not say a word.

Lin Yiwan looked at her in surprise. "What's wrong? Just now, you kept saying that I was wronging you. Now that I'm giving you a chance to prove your innocence, why are you backing down? Or are you feeling guilty?"

She deliberately prolonged her tone, which immediately made the expressions of the people around her who had originally supported Nanny Feng become complicated.
