After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 351 Meeting Mrs. Gao

Shen Nanzhi had a good idea, but she also felt that she could not expect the regent of the court to have a conscience and confer the title of county lord on her. This was not something you could get just by making contributions. You needed connections and relationships. Official affairs did not look at your worth, but at the protection of officials among each other.

Shen Nanzhi thought about it for a while, maybe Shen Huai'en could help, but just thinking about it made him angry. There was something wrong with the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiayi. Should he throw these people away?

This way, there will be no need to have anything to do with Shen Huai'en.

People who use him always feel like they owe him a favor.

Jia Yi asked carefully: "Miss, what do you want?"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't bear to throw away this subordinate who respected him, so he decided to use him first. Shen Huai'en owed him a life-saving favor anyway, so he should repay his subordinates with a few more.

"It's okay, let's go out for dinner."

"Okay, Wuling Prefecture's fish is very famous. I know a restaurant that serves delicious fish. Let's go and try it."

"Okay, it's getting late, Anxin, An Ning hasn't come back yet?"

"No, but Jiaer and Jiasan are following. They'll be fine. Maybe they haven't had enough fun?"

As they were talking, the two went downstairs, and a surprised voice came: "Miss Shen, it's you!"

Shen Nanzhi lowered her head and saw Madam Gao downstairs. She became happy too: "Madam Gao, why is it you? Are you going on a long journey? What a coincidence that we meet here."

"Isn't it a coincidence? It's so nice to meet you. What are you going to do?"

"I have something to take care of. What about you, Mrs. Gao?"

"I'm going back to Beijing. Thanks to you, I was given the title of county lady. I'm going back to Beijing to express my gratitude and visit my parents' home."

"Congratulations! I just saw so many carriages in the yard, and I thought it was some wealthy family going out with a grand ceremony, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed. I'm not talking about grandeur. With two children, there are too many things. If we don't pack them up, there will be so many carriages."

Shen Nanzhi understood: "We really need to be more careful with the two children. Where are the children? I miss them so much."

"Zhao Jie'er is tired and sleeping. An Ge'er is not feeling well. He was born prematurely and is weak. He will have a fever and cough if you don't pay attention. I'm so worried about him. Now he is feeling unwell again and needs the nurse to hold him and comfort him."

"Ah, raising a child is hard work, Sister Gao, you must take good care of yourself."

"I know, so I'll just tell you, where are you going?"

"Let's eat together."

"Okay, Madam Liu, go ask the doctor to check on the child, and then we can eat together."

The two of them had endless things to talk about, and it was a very happy thing to meet old friends.

Shen Nanzhi did not tell Mrs. Gao about his own affairs so as not to implicate her.

After the meal, he brought two portions for his family. Shen Nanzhi doesn't like to eat alone, so he will always think of his family.

It's just some food and doesn't cost much money, but it can make subordinates feel warm and be remembered by their superiors. It is also a means of winning people's hearts.

However, this method does not disgust people, and over time, Shen Nanzhi has developed a habit of it.

When we returned to the inn, Anxin and Anning had already returned, and they were accompanied by Jiaer, Jiasan and others, but they all looked unhappy.

"Are you having fun? Why are you looking so gloomy?"

The two of them quickly stood up to serve: "Miss, it is the servant who caused the trouble."

"what happened?"

Jia Er said: "It's nothing, big brother will take care of it. I met a blind scoundrel who dared to tease Miss An Xin in the street."

"The government doesn't care? He flirted with a pretty girl in the street, and they didn't break his legs?"

An Xin said embarrassedly: "I kicked him to death, will it cause trouble?"

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

You are good and awesome. She shouldn't worry about An Xin, but about that scoundrel.

"Let Jiayi handle it. Have you eaten? I brought you some delicious food."

"Thank you, young lady. You are so nice. You even thought of giving us delicious food. I like you so much. I will serve you for the rest of my life."

"Okay, stop being cheesy and go eat yours."

Shen Nanzhi sent the two away and asked Jia Er: "Will there be any trouble? Can your master control the prefect of Wuling? Should we go and have a chat with the prefect?"

Jia Er said: "Of course there is no problem, young lady, don't worry, our master is of noble status, let alone a mere prefecture, even if we go to the capital, young lady can walk sideways."

"Ha, you are just bragging. You are not the regent, so how can you act so arrogantly?"

Jia Er: “…”

Did the girl guess it?

Judging from her expression, it seemed like she was just saying it casually. Jia Er felt more at ease and would let the master explain it to the girl later.

Mrs. Gao sent the doctor away, feeling worried, and Shen Nanzhi accompanied her to see the two children.

Zhao Jie'er was a little fatter and more cheerful than before. Seeing her, she happily rushed over and said, "Aunt Nanzhi, I miss you so much. I wanted to go find you, but Nanny wouldn't let me. How annoying."

"Sister Zhao is beautiful again. Auntie misses you too. Give me a kiss."

Sister Zhao giggled when she kissed her, and Madam Gao was helpless, thinking that Miss Nanzhi was just like a child.

I hold my son in my arms. He was born prematurely, so he is very small. He is already more than eight months old, and he looks very skinny. His face is like a monkey, so pitiful.

Instead, she had a pair of eyes that were black and shiny, and particularly beautiful. She never cried or made a fuss, and was quite endearing.

"Oh my, poor An Ge'er, you are sick again. Do you still recognize your aunt? It was your aunt who rescued you. If you don't come with your aunt, I promise to raise you to be plump and white."

The nurse looked a little surprised. Who is this person? How arrogant! Can she raise a child well?

She had been nursing her brother and knew best how difficult he was to take care of. He fell ill every three days and seriously ill every five days. Only Mrs. Gao was rich enough to provide him with tonics and medicinal herbs. If it were a poor family, he would have died long ago.

Madam Gao said, "Nanzhi, you are so thoughtful. It is me who has let him down. He has suffered so much following me as his mother..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. The child was sick, and the mother's heart felt like it was fried in a frying pan.

Ang'er stroked her face as if to comfort her, which made Mrs. Gao even more sad. Why should such a good child be tortured by illness?

"Okay, the child is just weak, it's not a terminal illness, you have to be optimistic, the child will get better.

When we get to the capital, ask the imperial physician to come and see the child. He will get better.”

"I thought so too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made the long journey and let my child go to Beijing with me."

Shen Nanzhi stopped talking about this topic and hugged An Ge'er and said, "Zhao Jie'er, go sleep with your aunt tonight, so that your mother can have a good rest."

"Is An Ge'er coming too?"

"Of course, Ang'er is so well behaved, auntie wants to hold him for a while longer."

Madam Gao was very confident in her. She didn't know why, but she felt that Miss Shen was her benefactor and could solve any problems she encountered. "I'm glad you don't find it troublesome. Let the nanny go with you to take care of her."

"Come on, Sister Gao, you should also have a good rest. You look like a ghost. You have to take care of yourself."

Zhao Jie'er was also worried: "Mother, you take a rest. I will follow my aunt and take care of my brother. Don't worry."

"it is good."

Mrs. Gao is indeed tired. She gave birth prematurely last year and caught a cold. Add to that the child's condition and it's really stressful and tiring. She is so haggard at such a young age and looks ten years older.

Madam Liu felt sorry for her, "Madam, please don't worry. Miss Shen is the most reliable person. She will stay with the child. Madam, you should also have a good rest. I will bring you some ginseng soup."

"Well, I'll lie down for a while."

Mrs. Gao fell asleep as soon as she lay down. Nanny Liu did not disturb her, but lowered the curtains and let her have a good sleep.

……

An Xin and An Ning were very surprised when Shen Nanzhi came back with two children. They quickly fell in love with Zhao Jie'er. The cuddly little girl was so adorable, articulate, sensible and well-behaved, so lovable.

They could feel the childhood happiness that they did not enjoy from Zhao Jie'er, and they were quite happy to play with her.

After Ang'er finished his feeding, Shen Nanzhi held him upright and patted him to stop burping. The nurse looked at him curiously, "What are you doing?"

"When babies are breastfeeding, they tend to swallow air. If you leave him lying down now, the milk will easily spit up and his stomach will feel uncomfortable. Pat him to make him burp, and he will feel better."

"Is that so? The girl also knows how to take care of children?"

"I haven't given birth myself, but I've seen a lot of them. I've also heard about them from my elders. The wet nurse has worked hard. Go have some snacks and rest early. I'll take care of him here."

"Thank you for your hard work, girl. Call me if you need anything."

"Go."

The child was sent directly into the space. After the space was repaired, the child slept soundly. After waking up, he was fed with boiled goat milk and spent the night in the space.

In fact, it was three days later. When I took him out at dawn, he was obviously much more energetic.

If the child had been placed in a space to be raised for ten days or half a month, he would not be so weak.

It is a blessing for this child to meet me.

The nurse woke up and looked for the child in a panic: "Why was I sleeping so soundly? Is the child okay?"

"It's okay, it's fine. I'm the best at taking care of the child. Otherwise, Mrs. Gao can't leave it to me, right?"

"What did the child eat?"

"It's goat milk, but it needs to be cooked. The child has eaten two meals, and he's probably going to poop now. You come."

The wet nurse had no complaints, as this was her job.

This time, Mrs. Gao found a good wet nurse. After the experience of being betrayed by a servant last time, she carefully selected the person this time and tested her character several times before using her.

The child is obviously much more lively, and the slight fever he had yesterday has gone away without any medication.

Mrs. Gao also had a good rest and felt refreshed. She came to see the child.

"Nanzhi, did the children disturb your rest?"

"They are all very well behaved. Don't worry, Sister Gao. Mothers are different. They are always thinking about their children."

"That's right. When you become a mother, you will understand my feelings. I can't help but worry when you are not by my side."

"Sister Gao, are you leaving today?"

"Well, let's go to the capital to see the imperial physician as soon as possible, so that the child can get better soon."

"Let's go together. There is a group of bandits in this area. I'm afraid they will attack you."

"Bandits? Do they dare to attack the ladies of the imperial court?"

"We have kidnapped a prefect's son. I'm afraid you and your group of women and children will not let him go."

"That's great. I feel more at ease having you, Miss Shen, accompany me."

"I'm here to save people. Madam Gao, go ahead. If nothing happens, we won't show up. If they dare to kidnap you, don't be afraid. I will follow them and save you."
