Chapter 1219: She Sure Likes Eating

“Prince, perhaps the little lady hungry?” suggested Lady Niohuru to Yinzhen.
“Please allow this humble woman to feed the little lady!” said the wet nurse hastily while kneeling on the ground. She was hoping to make up for her past mistakes by showing good behavior.
Yinzhen laughed coldly. “There is no way I’d want my daughter to be close to a malicious woman like you.” Yinzhen had his personal eunuch, Su Peisheng, go find a new wet nurse.
As of now, the little lady was able to eat some complementary foods, so they made some stewed gravy and vegetable porridge. The little lady had been crying for so long that she was starting to hiccup. However, when the food came, she immediately stopped crying and started eating.
“Punish this wet nurse with ten planks, then throw her out of the residence,” said Yinzhen coldly. Afterwards, he glanced again at the little lady who was eating and found that she ate very well. It had only been a little while, but she had already finished half the bowl of porridge.
“She sure likes eating.” The slight depression in Yinzhen’s heart faded. He originally thought that this child wouldn’t be able to survive past her first month but now she was looking healthier and healthier. He was relieved.
“How could you, as the mother, fail to notice what the wet nurse was like? If the child didn’t cry tonight, I wouldn’t have even known that the wet nurse actually dared to treat my child this way!” said Yinzhen coldly as he looked towards Lady Song.
Lady Song wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said bitterly, “Prince, this concubine really never imagined that she was such a malicious person! She looked so honest, who would’ve thought her heart was actually so malicious?”
“Could it be that you, the mother, wasn’t even aware of the child’s situation? If you don’t want to raise this child, there are plenty of other people who want to raise her.” Yinzhen’s expression was cold.
Lady Song immediately fell to a kneel in front of Yinzhen and cried, “Prince, this child is my life!”
Yinzhen scoffed coldly, then turned to Lady Ula Nara and said, “Madame, you should head back first and rest.”
Lady Ula Nara couldn’t really hold up for much longer so she didn’t insist on staying and left.
“All of you can head back,” said Yinzhen to the other ladies.
When Lady Song saw that Yinzhen seemed to be planning to stay, her heart burst with joy.
Ning Shu walked back, following Lady Niohuru. She was relieved. Since this incident had attracted Yinzhen’s attention, the little lady’s situation would probably be better from now on.
“In the future, there’s no way we can employ this kind of wet nurse for my child. She’s too cruel.” Lady Niohuru who was walking ahead said this to Tong Yu.
Tong Yu also found this unbelievable. “She’s nothing but a wet nurse. How could she dare to hit the prince’s child?”
The next day, Lady Song was placed under house arrest by Yinzhen. The little lady had been handed over to Lady Nian who was temporarily in charge of the inner courtyard. Yinzhen asked her to raise the child for the time being.
