"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me clearly?" Wei Shichu looked at the nanny coldly.
The nanny suddenly shivered when she saw her cold and sharp eyes. Most of her contempt for Wei Shichu disappeared instantly, because no matter how unfavored Wei Shichu was, she was still Zhao Yiran's concubine and his master. , and the wet nurse is a servant. When Wei Shichu was weak and bullied, the wet nurse dared to look down on Wei Shichu, but when Wei Shichu became stubborn, she did not dare to be disrespectful. After all, wasn't she just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?
Therefore, after receiving a cold look from Wei Shichu, she reluctantly carried Zhao Lue over to Wei Shichu.
Zhao Lue was only two years old, and he was looking at Wei Shichu with a pair of extremely pure eyes. When Wei Shichu looked at him, he immediately showed an innocent smile. Obviously, he remembered his mother.
Wei Shichu brought him over. The child was a soft ball in his arms, which made people's hearts soften. What's more, he was pink and jade-like and extremely beautiful.
"Auntie..." Zhao Lue shouted in a sweet voice.
"Brother Lue, are you hungry?" Wei Shichu lowered his head and asked him with a smile, "Would you like to have dinner with your aunt tonight?"
"Okay, let's eat with my aunt!" Zhao Lue was very happy and said impatiently.
But the wet nurse couldn't help but said: "Aunt Wei, the third young master is still young and cannot eat the same food as adults. He is still drinking milk."
Many children from high-ranking families can continue to drink milk until they are three or four years old, or even seven or eight years old. However, Zhao Lue is only two years old now. According to the Zhao family's practice, he should mainly drink milk. There is also a little supplementary food, but it is impossible to eat with adults.
But Wei Shichu knew that children who start eating complementary foods after July or August can already eat ordinary meals with adults when they are more than one year old. This is more conducive to supplementing the various nutrients needed for the child's physical development and exercising his brain. Teeth and oral chewing power.
If he only drank milk, the child would be prone to malnutrition. Zhao Lue had always been unpopular with his father and aunt, and the original owner had no experience in raising children. Naturally, no one cared about Zhao Lue's eating problems, so he allowed the wet nurse to keep feeding him. He drank milk, and to this day, his weight is actually lighter than other children of the same age, and his body is also thin.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"He is almost two years old, and his teeth are almost all grown. Naturally, he can eat with me. In the future, we can slowly let him stop breastfeeding." Wei Shichu looked at the wet nurse indifferently, "Don't think that I don't know that you used to often You neglected your duties and left the third young master in the care of a little girl while you lazily ran off to play."
"Auntie, forgive me! I don't dare to do it anymore!" The wet nurse was panicked. She didn't expect that Wei Shichu would see everything she did. If Wei Shichu complained to Zhao Yiran or Chen, what would happen to her? ? ! Even if Wei Shichu's mother and son are not favored, if they are not favored again, it will not be the servant's turn to neglect and deceive the master. The master and his wife will definitely not let her off lightly!
When the wet nurse thought about what would happen to her, she was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "This slave deserves to die! Just because I nursed the third young master, my aunt spared this slave..."
Wei Shichu had no time to pay attention to her for the time being, so he said: "Get out of here first. I don't have time to pay attention to you right now. If you dare to do it again in the future, I will never let you off lightly."
The nanny heard that Wei Shichu meant that she would not be punished for the time being, so she hurriedly ran away, fearing that Wei Shichu would change his mind a second later.
Wei Shichu told Zhichun: "Go and bring back all my meals. I want to eat with the third young master."
Zhichun took the order and went down.
Zhao Lue ranked third. There were two brothers and one sister at the top, both of whom were born to Zhao Yiran’s legitimate wife, Chen. Below there were two concubine brothers and two concubine sisters, who were the children of Zhao Yiran’s other three concubines. These few Brothers and sisters, the direct descendants are highly valued, while the other concubines have their own mothers who can fight for and are favored to help fight for favors. Only Zhao Lue is ranked in the middle, and his own mother is not favored. He is like a transparent person. She is so soft that anyone can step on her, so she is bullied.
Wei Shichu pinched Zhao Lue's soft cheek, and for a moment he thought about whether he should just run away and leave the Zhao family to live their own lives. In this case, Zhao Lue could completely jump out of the fire pit of the Zhao family. No need to be constrained everywhere.
As for Wei Shichu herself, it is even more impossible to stay in the back house and fight to the death with a group of women over a dirty man. With all her cunning skills, she is not here to suffer and wrong herself.
When Wei Shichu thought about this, he suddenly realized that it was impossible to stay and fight with Zhao Yiran's wives and concubines, but it was not that easy to leave the Zhao family.
It is not difficult to escape and leave. What is difficult is to prepare a proper identity for the mother and son, so that Wei Shichu and Zhao Lue can have enough food and clothing without anyone's worries and oppression after leaving the Zhao family.
But no matter what your status is, it is not safe for a young single mother to live with her children these days. Even if Wei Shichu had the ability to protect himself, it would be irritating enough just to deal with the young people who were like flies that swooped up after smelling the fishy smell. If Wei Shichu was the only one, she would still have no scruples, but with Zhao Lue With this child, she would have to be careful.
Is there any way to leave openly and justifiably cut off contact with people like Zhao Yiran?
Wei Shichu had a headache. After thinking about it for a while, she simply stopped thinking about it. Now that Zhao Lue was still young, there was no need to be too anxious. The road would be straight to the bow of the ship. She could always think of a good way.
So she temporarily put these troubles behind her and prepared to have dinner with Zhao Lue.
Zhao Lue had only eaten some soft and easy-to-digest complementary foods prepared by his wet nurse, such as egg custard and minced meat, but he had never eaten serious meals. Therefore, when Wei Shichu fed a piece of fish with a pick of bones to Zhao Lue, Zhao Lue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he tasted the strange but beautiful taste in his mouth in surprise.
"Is it delicious?" Wei Shichu asked him softly. The cooks in the Zhao family's kitchen were very good at cooking. Even the meals sent to Wei Shichu were delicious.
"It's delicious." Zhao Lue said hurriedly as his face turned red with excitement.
"If it's delicious, eat more of it. Fish is more nutritious." After Wei Shichu picked out the fish bones, he added a few pieces of fish to him.
Zhao Lue was not a picky eater, and it was his first time to eat food with a lot of flavor, which made him have a great appetite. He ate all the dishes Wei Shichu gave him without hesitation, and he was very happy with it.
So accidentally, Zhao Lue was full and his belly was bulging. Wei Shichu was a little annoyed, and while gently rubbing his belly, he said to him: "Lue'er, if you are full, just tell your mother." I won’t continue to feed you, it won’t feel good if you’re full…”
"But I want to eat everything you feed..." Zhao Lue said softly. Seeing Wei Shichu's eyes full of admiration, Wei Shichu's heart softened immediately.
