The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Cui Ruixin said slowly and deliberately, "You don't need to take care of Miss anymore. Go back to where you came from."

"Madam, please don't! Please let me stay. I promise to take good care of Miss!" Jiang Shi cried out anxiously.

She finally managed to get into the Marquis's mansion and find a job that allowed her to get close to her daughter.

After waiting for more than two months, she finally became her daughter's wet nurse, and she plans to stay with her daughter as she grows up.

I'll tell her the truth later.

Unexpectedly, the First Madam is now trying to drive her away.

"Don't force me to commit murder on such a joyous occasion during the Lunar New Year." Cui Ruixin's casual remark sent a chill down Jiang's spine.

"Yes, I understand." She retreated, trembling.

She knew that the First Madam would definitely not tolerate her, so she asked the housekeeper for leave, wanting to go home for the New Year.

"It's so late, and curfew is about to start. Do you think you'll make it in time?" the butler asked, somewhat doubtfully.

“There’s still time, my husband’s family lives in the city.” Jiang gave a wry smile.

"Alright," the housekeeper granted her leave.

Watching her departing figure, he couldn't help but mutter, "Since she lives in the city, why would she sell herself into servitude at the Marquis's mansion for three years? I really don't understand."

Jiang braved the wind and snow to return home.

Everyone has already eaten their New Year's Eve dinner.

When her mother-in-law, Madam Chen, saw her, she looked surprised: "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to take good care of the eldest young lady?"

Jiang rubbed her frozen hands and replied, "The First Madam lifted my confinement but was dissatisfied with me and sent me away."

"What did you do that made the First Madam want to kick you out? How come you can't even take care of a child properly? That's your own daughter!" Madam Chen couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Mother, keep your voice down. How can this be made public?" Jiang's husband, He Songlin, quickly closed the door.

Jiang was already feeling wronged, and now that she had been scolded, she couldn't stop her tears and started crying on the spot.

"Alright, alright, it's the New Year, crying is bad luck, don't cry," He Songlin quickly comforted his wife.

"Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying about? You were the one who agreed to the baby swap!" Mrs. Chen said, clearly dissatisfied.

The previous daughter-in-law gave birth to triplets for the He family.

But after giving birth to so many children in one go, her body couldn't take it, and she passed away when the children were only six months old.

She arranged for her son to marry a second wife, a woman surnamed Jiang.

Jiang became pregnant within a year of entering the household.

They had someone take their pulse, and it turned out to be a daughter.

When she was about to give birth in September, the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion approached her and asked her to help deliver the baby.

Because her family has three healthy triplets, it's auspicious and joyous.

Moreover, she was a famous midwife in the capital.

When she arrived at the Marquis's residence, she learned that everyone in the household was eagerly anticipating the First Madam's pregnancy.

The old Marquis even gave an order: if a granddaughter is born, she should be spoiled rotten.

She was immediately smitten.

If they could exchange their granddaughter, born to their daughter-in-law, with the daughter of the Marquis's first wife, wouldn't they enjoy endless wealth and luxury in the future?

So she went home and discussed the matter of switching children with her son and daughter-in-law.

After discussing it, the son and daughter-in-law agreed.

After all, if their daughter could become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, the future of their three sons would be secure.

She couldn't just watch her own brother fall into poverty.

However, with so many maids and servants surrounding the wife of the Marquis giving birth, how to switch the babies at the right time became a problem they needed to consider.

She decided to take a gamble; if there was an opportunity, she would switch; if not, she would give up for now.

As the day of the First Lady's delivery approached, she was brought to the Marquis's residence ten days in advance to wait for her.

She was very flustered.

It was quite a coincidence that the First Madam wanted to go to Yulong Temple to offer incense before giving birth, praying to Buddha to bless the safe delivery of her unborn child.

Upon learning of this, she immediately sent a message home, instructing her son to take his wife to Yulong Temple.

Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law gave birth to the child as soon as she arrived at Yulong Temple.

She had to resort to a little trick to get the First Madam to drink a labor-inducing tea, and then she gave birth to the child at the Imperial Dragon Temple.

She managed to keep her maids and servants busy, but there weren't enough people, and in the end, she was the only one left in the room.

Then she took the opportunity to have her son bring her granddaughter over, and switched the two children.

The time, place and people are favorable.

She actually managed to do it.

Later, they tricked a couple who came to the city seeking medical treatment and hoping to have a child, and sold the child to them.

After all, keeping them at home is too expensive and they're easy to be discovered.

Jiang also recalled the scene of the child swap.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.

She sent her daughter to the Lady of the Marquis's mansion to give her a life of wealth and honor, thinking that she was still young and could have more children.

If we have another son, our daughter can help us out in the future.

But to her surprise, after sending her daughter away, she never got pregnant. She consulted doctors, who all said there was nothing wrong with them.

This matter became a heavy burden on her mind.

Later, upon learning that the Marquis's mansion was looking for someone to take care of the child, she decided to sell herself to take care of her daughter, after being repeatedly urged by her mother-in-law and husband.

Taking care of her daughter at such close proximity will also allow her to grow closer to her, and when she grows up and tells her the truth, she will be more likely to accept it.

But she never expected that by going too far and making her daughter too dependent, she would incur the wrath of her wife.

……

When Yu Ningyao woke up, the New Year's Eve vigil was already over.

She didn't cry or fuss; instead, she followed her parents in a sweet, childlike voice, learning to say auspicious words.

May my grandfather enjoy boundless happiness and longevity!

Wishing Grandma all the best, and good health!

Seeing her obedient appearance, even the usually stern old marquis showed a rare smile and gave her a generous New Year's money.

Yu Kangping and Cui Ruixin gave her a New Year's money as a token gesture, without any expression on their faces.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was being perfunctory, Shen Jinzhu gestured to Emerald to bring another purse and gave each of the eldest son's children a small animal made of silver, about the size of a little finger joint.

Cui Ruixin never expected Shen Jinzhu to be so stingy this year.

In previous years, she gave out gold!

But she couldn't ask, after all, Yu Ningyao wasn't exactly a saint either.

She could only swallow her dissatisfaction and grievances.

After the vigil ended, I returned to my own courtyard.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu, a married couple, prepared a new New Year's gift for their child.

"My sweetheart, look what this is! It's a little rabbit. Do you like it?" Shen Jinzhu held up a pure gold rabbit in front of Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao looked at the pure gold rabbit in front of her, which was as big as her head, and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

"I like it!" She nodded emphatically.

Who could resist such a pure gold rabbit statue?

"Then touch her." Shen Jinzhu smiled and took her hand, letting her gently tug at the rabbit's tail.

With a "click," the rabbit split in two.

Yu Ningyao's eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, this rabbit statue actually contained a hidden secret.

There's also a rabbit inside.

"Bunny!" Yu Ningyao exclaimed with delight.

"Touch it again."

Seeing her delighted expression, Shen Jinzhu's smile grew even brighter.
