Let me tell you, my daughter is sixteen years old, beautiful as a...Yanyu went to press acupoints on the wet nurse's forehead. Fu Jiujiao looked at the heartbroken old woman and asked, "How did he die"

The old woman glanced at Fu Jiujiu and continued to cry.

Niangxia furrowed her brows, "Our young mistress is asking you a question, didn't you hear"

The old woman, after hearing about Fu Jiujiu's identity, knew she couldn't afford to offend such a powerful person. "I... I don't know. When I was cooking, he fell into the well. By the time I found him, he was already gone."

"My darling! My heart!"

Fu Jiujiu walked closer, wanting to see if the child had any injuries, but was stopped by the old woman, "Your Highness, don't dirty your hands."

At this time, the wet nurse had already woken up, weeping with heart-wrenching sobs, "My darling, my child!"

She cried out as she rushed forward, embracing her son's corpse, "What happened Why didn't you wait for Mother to come back!"

The old woman also cried, "Why didn't you listen to grandma Grandma told you not to play by the well."

Fu Jiu Jiu looked at the little baby, who was about six or seven months old. The well in this family was very high, even a doll her size would have to work hard to climb up.

How could a baby under one year old possibly climb up there

"Are you sure he climbed up there"

"Yes, yes, how could there be a lie" The old woman cried so heartbrokenly.

The wet nurse was holding the child's body, just waking up, and fainted again.

The pain of losing a child is something that most people can't comprehend.

Fu Jiu Jiu also felt a pang of sadness, but the child's clothes were crumpled in the wet nurse's arms, revealing a thin little arm, and there were no blisters from smallpox on it.

But once a person is dead, it's impossible to determine that through pulse.

Fujujiao felt that someone didn't want her to know.

She gave Niànxià a look, and Niànxià pushed her clothes up again. The old woman still wanted to stop her, but Yān yǔ held her down so she couldn't move.

"My Lady, what are you trying to do My poor child, the man has already died. Let him go peacefully on his journey."

"Shut up, you dare to obstruct our young mistress I won't want your head!" Yan Yu threatened fiercely.

The old woman's eyes darted around, but she no longer struggled. "Even if you are a county princess," she said, "you can't bully us orphans and widows."

As Fu Jiujiu lifted the little kid's clothes slightly, she saw red dots appearing on his skin, forming patches of rash. Her face darkened further.

The wet nurse woke up again, just about to cry, when Fu Jiujiao stopped her, “Wait until later to cry, first ask your son how he died”

"Yes, mother, what on earth is going on"

The old woman still held some respect for Fu Jiujiu, but she had no good face for her own daughter-in-law. "You have the face to ask You went to the prince's mansion to enjoy yourself and left me alone to look after this big house. I have to cook and do laundry, how can I manage The child was crawling in the courtyard, how could I possibly know he fell into the well"

"Mother, how could you let him be alone in the courtyard It's so dangerous!"

"Then you should just watch, go to the palace and eat delicious food and drink fine wine. I'm this old and still have to look after your children for you. You don't thank me but blame me instead! How can you be so heartless"

"I..." The wet nurse held her son's body and wept uncontrollably.

Fu JiuJiu gave Yan Yu a wink, and Yan Yu exerted force. The old woman cried out in pain, "Ouch ouch, girl, be gentler! My old bones are going to break!"

"Our county princess has a question for you, answer honestly."

"I'm an honest person, just say what you want. Your Highness, what would you like to ask" The old woman had a tough-as-nails look, she must be difficult to deal with on a regular day...

"What's wrong with him"

"What's the big deal There are so many mosquitoes and insects this summer. Our place isn't like where you rich people live, it's normal to get bitten."

"You're not being honest." Fu Jiujiu said.

The smoke and rain intensified, the old woman's cries grew louder.

"My Lady, My Lady, you... you can't bully an old woman like me."

"First of all, I might not even be able to climb up this well, let alone a child that small. Secondly, this wasn't bitten by an insect at all. I'm telling you, this is most likely chickenpox. You know what chickenpox is"

"Flowers Ah!"

"If it's really smallpox, don't even mention it, I'm afraid nobody on this street would survive."

The old woman was terrified, she froze in place, "This... how could this be smallpox"

"Who did he take over from" Fu Jiu asked again.

"That's right, Mother. Bao'er has been with you all along, how could she have contracted smallpox"

The old woman shook her head, "I... I haven't let anyone else touch him."

"Has he ever come into contact with anything from outside"

The old woman's eyes darted around. "No,"

"Are you really going to do this I think you're looking for a fight."

"I said... I said... It was the day I took my child out, and I met a woman. She complimented our child's looks and said it was fate, so she touched the child."

"Please... please, miss, spare my life! I truly didn't lie."

"Nian Xia, go to her room and search."

"No way, you guys are being too much!" the old lady shouted.

Fu Jiujiao frowned, "This princess will bully you today. What can you do to me Search!"

The old woman wilted.

Soon, Niànxiá found a bag of silver from inside the house.

"Where are you from"

"I... I can't save up, can I"

"Is your family really so wealthy that you would let her go out and be a nanny for someone else, ignoring your own child" Fu Jiujiu retorted.

"Mother, what time is it It's really a flowery talk. We are all doomed," the wet nurse advised.

"Shut up, what's it to you."

The wet nurse looked at the child in her arms, and she only wanted one answer: "I went to the palace as a wet nurse for whom Isn't it for this family, for my younger brother to have money to study Which mother would be willing to abandon her own child to take care of someone else's child, I..."

"Wait, the second brother who loves to read"

"It's... my nephew."

Fu Jiujiu looked at the midwife, "What prospects did that man offer your son Do you think he can still become an official even if you don't say anything and caused this mess Don't be ridiculous."

"No... there's nothing like that."

"I'd like to see if I go to the emperor and tell him about your son, whether he can still hold office."

"You... you're bullying me."

"As I just said, all I want to know now is, who gave your grandson this illness"

"Mother, please tell me," the wet nurse pleaded.

The old woman didn't speak immediately, but was weighing her options.

"You dare to murder the young master of the Duke's Mansion You think you can escape According to Li Chao's law, descendants of those who commit crimes for three generations are not allowed to take the civil service examinations. Doesn't matter who promised you this, your son wouldn't even be eligible to take the exam."

"You're lying," the old woman said, but seeing Fu Jiujiu's determined expression, she relented.
