Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming-Chapter 1977 - 1128_2
The system called Young Master Huang for a long time.
Young Master Huang was finally able to hear the system’s voice.
Unable to open his eyes, he smelled a familiar scent in his nose.
His mouth instinctively ate; this was a newborn baby’s instinct.
In weakness and hunger, his mouth could move, thanks to a little strength from the system.
Young Master Huang, in the cold, while nursing, ingested warm milk into his stomach and gradually filled it up.
His body gained a bit more strength, and he slowly opened his eyes.
No wonder there was a familiar smell; turns out it was his Wet Nurse.
"Host, host, do you accept the task?"
Young Master Huang’s mind received the system’s voice again.
He’s not foolish; since now it wants him to accept the luck from his Wet Nurse.
She is the only one who can save him, how could he be so foolish as to take her luck away?
If he wants to take it, he should be rescued first, and accept the task when he receives help from more people.
Does this system think he is an idiot?
The Wet Nurse is his only lifeline now, absorbing her luck would bring misfortune to her, and wouldn’t he suffer the same fate?
If the Wet Nurse meets misfortune and leaves him, no one will rescue him, he can’t connect with more people, and no one will save him ever again.
Young Master Huang remained silent, just listening to the system’s annoyed calls.
He sensed the Wet Nurse placing him in the previous box, feeling fearful inside.
Thinking spitefully, if the Wet Nurse leaves him behind, then he’ll listen to the system and drain her luck.
The Wet Nurse didn’t do as Young Master Huang imagined; having nursed a child for a month, she had compassion and feelings.
Looking at the child whose appearance improved after being fed,
She felt sympathy, deciding to take the heir back, saving them the expense of buying a child.
Buying a child also had its pros and cons.
If the child’s parents came searching and Madam Huang found out, they would face death.
Taking the sickly heir back, fearing Madam Huang might blame them for meddling.
The Wet Nurse came up with a plan; they could only speak the truth.
Informing truthfully in a letter to the madam about the missing fake heir and the real heir being found.
The Wet Nurse quietly took the box back.
The estate was filled with workers, returning covertly amid dodges.
She could hide from the others, but not from the maids accompanying her.
The maids kept watch for her and diverted the others.
When the Wet Nurse returned to the room with the box, the maids also returned.
"So soon to have bought it back?" one maid questioned.
"No, doesn’t this box look familiar?"
Another maid asked suspiciously.
"Isn’t this the box the heir was kept in?" a maid realized.
The Wet Nurse’s expression turned serious, she gestured for silence.
She slowly opened the box.
The maids looked inside the box, all shocked, covering their mouths.
In surprise: "How did the heir return? How did the frail heir come back?"
The two who had seen the attendants throw the box up the mountain earlier shared it with the maids.
Then the maids started chattering their conspiracy theories.
They thought someone was backing the attendant, surely a betrayer of Madam Huang.
They swapped the fake heir for the real one. The attendant might be from the Luo Family.
After discussing, they decided to trick the attendant into coming back, interrogate him, bind him, and hand him over to the madam.
They absolutely couldn’t let the attendant and his backers know.
Lest the attendant runs away.
Unasked, they couldn’t know the truth.
After discussion, one maid was sent to deceive the attendant.
One maid carried out their plan.
Saying it’s per the madam’s instructions, with a reward.
The madam instructed it.
The attendant didn’t suspect, having just committed the act, feeling guilty but had never seen the actual heir.
Losing that box was just the steward’s decision.
Upon entering the room, the wet nurse didn’t let him see the heir.
The heir was already asleep in bed.
The attendant entered the room, and the maid closed the door.
The attendant was a bit surprised to see the maid close the door, but seeing the wet nurse and several maids inside, he didn’t suspect anything.
He even thought the wet nurse was rewarding him on behalf of the madam, and that she didn’t want others to know. He felt joyful in his heart, thinking that even the steward hadn’t been rewarded, but he had been, and that made him happy.
While the attendant was still dreaming about the reward, he was suddenly grabbed by several maids.
A man’s strength is greater than a woman’s.
Even when a woman grabs a man, he can’t break free instantly.
The attendant was startled: "What are you doing?"
His eyes were fixed on the wet nurse standing in front of him.
"Did you really think we called you here because the madam wanted to reward you? Tell me, why did you throw that box onto the mountain this morning? Who told you to do it?"
The wet nurse had the demeanor of interrogating a criminal.
Thinking this person was from the Luo Family, she wanted to hear it with her own ears even though she already suspected it.
Tie him up and deliver him along with the letter to Madam Huang.
"The thrown box? How did you know?" The attendant looked at the wet nurse in surprise, then his eyes fell on the box in the room.
Then he said: "How did you bring this unlucky child and box back?"
"You, are you really from the Luo Family? Did you throw our heir onto the mountain?"
The wet nurse gritted her teeth.
Then the attendant heard a chattering sound in his ear, it was the maids denouncing him.
Saying things like he was eating the madam’s food and helping evildoers do bad deeds.
The attendant was confused, wondering how their young master could have been in the box?
"I’m innocent, it was the steward’s order, the steward said to throw the unlucky child in the box onto the mountain, not knowing it was the heir inside."
This attendant was from the estate, and had never seen the fake or the real heir.
Feeling wronged by the wet nurse and the maids’ words.
Listening to them, they said they’d tell the madam about it, and if he confessed, he’d be beaten to death.
A servant who harms the master would be beaten to death.
"What’s going on? Is the steward also from the Luo Family? Quickly explain what’s happening?"
The wet nurse had only thought the attendant was from the Luo family, not realizing the steward was too.
"We’re not from the Luo Family. If you don’t believe us, ask the steward."
The attendant felt wronged, knowing that betrayal would result in punishment, either beaten and thrown out if light, or beaten to death if severe.
He felt really wronged.
The wet nurse and the maids chattered for a while, deciding to trick the steward into coming.
They planned to inquire about it here before telling Madam Huang about the matter.
Someone tied up the attendant.
Some maids went to trick the steward.
Someone started preparing to write a letter, finding both paper and pen.
The steward was tricked into coming for the same reason.
The steward didn’t know he had been tricked and came walking in with a face full of joy.
As soon as the steward came in, the door was closed.
He was momentarily stunned, then looked inside the room. The doorway was blocked by something, preventing him from seeing the attendant, who had been tied up.
"What is this...?"
Thinking the attendant had somehow offended the wet nurse and the maids, he was internally blaming the attendant while glaring at him.
The attendant’s mouth was covered, and he could only make muffled sounds, wanting to speak but unable to.
Feeling wronged and unable to voice his grievances.
"You should be asked, why did you let him throw the heir onto the back mountain? If the wet nurse hadn’t seen it, you would have gotten the heir killed."
A maid standing beside the wet nurse, receiving an eye signal, accused the steward.
The steward felt wronged by the maid’s accusations: "Nonsense, I just told an attendant to throw away a child who was near death left at the main gate, which was discovered upon opening the gate this morning. Was that the heir? Was our heir like that? Wasn’t the heir with you all? How did he end up at the gate looking all filthy and smelly?"
"It was the heir, our heir was stolen by someone last night. We were just going to find him this morning, only to see the attendant tossing the child to the back mountain."
The wet nurse argued.
The steward’s first reaction was to avoid taking responsibility, now suspecting Madam Huang threw the child to the countryside, thinking the heir was too weak, without care for the heir’s life.
Such a cruel mother.
"Don’t frame me, there was a box at the main gate early in the morning, which many people saw, we didn’t do such a guilty thing, besides we haven’t seen the heir, how would we know the heir looked so weak?"
