My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 272 - 115: Don’t Tell Me She Wants Him to Take Responsibility_2
Never mind, regardless of what the truth is, or what her purpose is, this matter is beneficial to him, and he is happy to see it happen.
"Go and tell the person who delivered the letter, just say, ’I will do this, but since it is a serious matter, it requires careful planning.’"
"Yes."

Duke Ning Mansion.
After two consecutive days of severe interrogation, they still couldn’t get the mastermind behind it, so Yun Wanye, in a fit of anger, decided to make an example of others with a severe punishment.
He completely cast aside Yun Wanqing’s heartfelt pleas from that night, regardless of who exactly the supposed black-clad person she mentioned was, and after arbitrarily killing one of the black-clad men, he hung the head in the dungeon to intimidate the others.
Yet, still no useful information was obtained.
It was unclear if these people’s mouths were just too tight, or if they truly did not know any more of the inside story.
In any case, things had reached this point, and it could not continue.
After consulting Yun Zheng, Yun Wanye kept the leader of the black-clad men as bait, and the rest of the black-clad men were all killed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Wan’an Garden.
Yun Wanqing lay by the window, watching Lady Yun meticulously reviewing the accounts beside her, unable to help but think of the wet nurse again.
[Oh dear, it has been exactly two days now, and the wet nurse hasn’t appeared at all.]
[Mother hasn’t mentioned the wet nurse even once in front of me, what’s going on here?]
[Not showing up for so long, is it because something major happened at home, or is it really related to me getting stolen?]
Yun Wanqing frowned, deep in thought, her mind filled with confusion.
Upon hearing her inner thoughts, Lady Yun was momentarily stunned, holding the ledger, the wet nurse and all her family were already completely dead.
Those people had taken the wet nurse’s entire family hostage, forcing her to steal the little baby away.
To save her family, the wet nurse endured the guilt of her conscience, stole the little baby and handed it over to those people.
But those thieves did not keep their promise to spare the wet nurse’s family, instead, they brutally murdered all those innocent people, and the wet nurse did not escape either.
Basically, it was the Yun Family that brought harm to the wet nurse.
If the Yun Family hadn’t hired the wet nurse, hadn’t been associated with her, she might have been poor, but at least her family would be safe.
Therefore, even though the wet nurse helped the thieves steal Yun Wanqing, Lady Yun did not resent her in the slightest, but rather felt guilt towards her.
At the same time, this incident also made Lady Yun realize that when they hire wet nurses in the future, they must not hire women from ordinary families.
Their family had too many enemies, no matter which wet nurse they hired, it would endanger those people.
The best solution would be to spend money to purchase a bondservant.
Most bondservants were loners and lived within the Duke Mansion, rarely going out, and without weaknesses, they were not easily threatened.
After making up her mind, Lady Yun focused seriously on reviewing the accounts.
By noon, having finally finished going through all the accounts, she rubbed her temples, tidied up all the ledgers on the table, and had a maid give them to the steward.
Then, she got up, walked over to Yun Wanqing, and picked her up.
"Xiao Si, there have been too many things going on these few days, and mother suddenly remembered that there is something I haven’t told you yet."
[Huh, what hasn’t mother told me?]
[Let me think, it should be about the wet nurse, but why would mother specifically tell me since, logically speaking, I wouldn’t understand.]
[Never mind, mother used to tell me things all the time, this isn’t unusual, surely someone told her that talking more to infants stimulates brain development, which would make them smarter as they grow up.]
[Yes, that must be it.]
Lady Yun: "..."
She had only said a single sentence, and Xiao Si had already imagined so much.
Truly, such a fondness for imagining.
[Mother, you say it, I am listening.]
[Hmm? Why did you suddenly stop talking? What are you thinking about so intently?]
After imagining this, Yun Wanqing looked up quietly, waiting for Lady Yun to speak.
Unexpectedly, Lady Yun stayed silent for a long time, lost in thought about something, and seeing this, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but question in her heart.
"Ahem, Xiao Si, there is something going on in the wet nurse’s family, so she can’t continue to be your wet nurse. Therefore, mother is thinking of finding another one for you."
"Ah, it is a pity though that mother doesn’t have enough milk, otherwise, there would be no need to go to such trouble."
Upon hearing her inner thoughts, Lady Yun quickly snapped back to reality, and explained the situation to her but concealed the tragic death of the wet nurse’s entire family.
The wet nurse was inherently gentle and had always been meticulous and attentive towards Xiao Si, whom Xiao Si was very fond of. If Xiao Si were to find out about the wet nurse’s tragic death, she would surely be heartbroken.
So, it’s better not to tell her.
She’s still young, and in a few years or a decade, when she grows up, she will completely forget about the wet nurse, so there is no need to tell her and upset her.
