Chapter 493: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (32)

"Yes! I won't bother you with hiring people, Mr. Song." Cao Wanning also responded with a smile, "Now you know the house here. If you have free time, you can come and sit down anytime."

She thought to herself that Song Chengjing was indeed no ordinary person. Compared with her not-so-capable nephew, he was much more capable.

If one lets his son be on good terms with him, perhaps he will benefit from it in the future.

Song Chengjing naturally understood the deeper meaning of this, so he stopped talking and said goodbye politely before leaving.

Only after seeing him off did Cao Wanning breathe a sigh of relief and took her two children to re-examine the house.

The spacious and bright room was neatly arranged, and all the furniture and furnishings were of extraordinary taste; the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard outside the window were arranged in an orderly manner and full of vitality, which was refreshing.

Su Xiangran and Su Yanqing walked around the house again and again, their eyes full of joy, and they were obviously very satisfied with this new home.

Especially the study room specially prepared for them, which was filled with all kinds of books. It was like a small library, which was a treasure for the two people who loved reading.

The next morning, the sun shone across the courtyard.

Cao Wanning got up early, holding tightly in his hand the admission information provided by Song Chengjing a few days ago, feeling a little nervous.

After all, children’s academic performance is of vital importance and cannot be neglected.

Fortunately, since all relevant procedures were complete and correct, the entire process went extremely smoothly without any obstacles.

After arranging everything, Cao Wanning planned to return to Jincheng. When she came, she brought Su Xiangran with her, so there were at least two of them. If she was alone, Cao Ce would naturally not let her go alone.

So he insisted on sending two soldiers and a maid to escort Cao Wanning all the way back to Jincheng.

Cao Wanning did not refuse, after all, Nanny Hong would come to Hai City later.

She had traveled far away all her life, and this time it was just right for Cao Ce's people to bring her back to Haishi.

But what Cao Wanning didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the Su family, there was a "surprise" waiting for him.

Nanny Hong has been very worried recently. Her master Cao Wanning went to Hai City, so her son-in-law called the maid Yue Niang to serve him.

Although she was called a maid, she was actually a young woman who was almost 30 years old. It was just that she had never given birth before, so she was not qualified to be a concubine.

Speaking of which, Yue Niang has been with Su Weicheng for quite a long time. She was originally the eldest maidservant by his mother's side. When Su Weicheng was about to be introduced to someone else that year, Cao's mother sent her to her son's yard.

Even after he married Cao Wanning, he did not send her away for this reason.

Over the years, Yue Niang has been relatively well behaved, only occasionally accompanying Su Weichen when the mistress of the house was not convenient, and she would take the contraceptive soup on her own initiative every time.

But this time, after Cao Wanning left home, Yue Niang changed her usual behavior and "delivered soup" to Su Weichen every day, and then stayed in the room as a matter of course.

The most important thing is that she actually coaxed Su Weichen into agreeing not to let her drink the contraceptive soup. This is what Nanny Hong is most worried about.

Even though Yue Niang is almost thirty years old, she can still get pregnant. If she really gives birth to a child for her brother-in-law at this time, it would be considered a "late-born child."

Even if it does not affect Su Yanqing's status in the Su family, some of this family property must still be divided up.

Fortunately, Cao Wanning came back in less than five days. Seeing her master return to the Su Mansion, Nanny Hong finally felt relieved.

Cao Wanning knew clearly that the people sent by Cao Ce would not stay here for too long.

So, after asking about some situations at home, she asked Nanny Hong to pack her luggage and go to Hai City with them.

"Master." Nanny Hong seemed to have something to say, but was hesitant.

She knew that she shouldn't interfere too much in the male master's house, but she couldn't bear to see Cao Wanning being wronged. Knowing Hong Ma's character, Cao Wanning waved her hand to signal the other servants to leave, and used the excuse that she needed to discuss matters related to Hai City with her.

After everyone left, Mammy Hong knelt down without hesitation and pleaded guilty: "I failed to protect this home for my master. I beg my master to punish me."

"Stand up and talk!" Cao Wanning took a sip of tea and said slowly, "From what I can see, everything is fine in this mansion. What crime have you committed?"

Nanny Hong did not dare to hide anything and told Cao Wanning the whole story that Yue Niang served Su Weichen every night and had stopped taking the contraceptive soup.

After hearing what Matron Hong said, Cao Wanning chuckled and said, "I thought it was nothing, is it worth kneeling down for just this matter of your lower body?

How can I blame you for something that the master can't control himself? "

"But my master, this Yue Niang has been pretending to be well-behaved and obedient for so many years." Nanny Hong felt an inexplicable fear when she thought of this person, "She changed so suddenly. If such a person stays with you, I'm afraid you will suffer.

Although she was not favored, she had been a maid for many years, and she had served the old lady. "

Unexpectedly, Cao Wanning waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go to Haishi with peace of mind! A mere maid can't cause any big waves!"

Seeing that her master seemed very confident, Nanny Hong didn't say anything else. She went back to her room, packed her bags, and followed Cao Ce's men to Shanghai.

More than a month later, Yue Niang felt dizzy while grinding ink for Su Weicheng. After consulting a doctor, she was diagnosed with being pregnant for about a month.
