The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 86 Meng's Cousin
Meng Tingzhou was worried about Ayou, so he went to see him.

After he left, Liu Huining came to see Jiang Shiwan.

Yun Shang didn't want her to disturb Jiang Shiwan's recovery, so she replied softly outside: "Madam Ning, my wife just changed the medicine and is resting."

Liu Huining didn't force his way in: "If that's the case, I'll do the same thing tomorrow."

Jiang Shiwan was concerned about Ayou and knew that this woman must have come to his house for some reason, so he asked Xueying to open the door.

Liu Huining, who was about to leave, was slightly surprised: "Oh? I thought my sister wanted to rest, so I planned to visit her tomorrow."

Jiang Shiwan lay on the bed and looked at her calmly: "Thank you for taking care of Ah You for me."

Liu Huining naturally saw her battered hands and shook his head, feeling very sorry: "Sister, you have a pair of good hands, but they are ruined like this, what a pity."

She smiled, but her expression was sinister: "Sister, do you think you are safe after leaving the Ministry of Punishment?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Jiang Shiwan looked at her warily: "Of course I know that you are very thorough in your work, and you must have more than one trick up your sleeve."

Liu Huining chuckled: "In fact, I admire you, sister. There are many daughters of wealthy families in the huge capital, but there are not many who are smart. Sister is one of them. If it weren't for my husband, I think we might have become close friends."

"I don't deserve it. How can I be compared with the most talented woman in the capital?"

Hearing her disdain and sarcasm, Liu Huining did not get angry.

"Yesterday, I took care of the young master for my sister. He was really cute, with a chubby face and a tiger-like body. He looked a lot like you and your husband. To be honest, I was quite envious." Liu Huining said quietly, "It would be great if my husband and I could have a child."

But now she knows that given Meng Tingzhou's feelings for Jiang Shiwan, her hopes are almost slim.

"Don't worry, you have been in poor health for a while, I will definitely help you and take good care of the young master."

"What did you do to Ah You?"

"Don't worry, my husband loves the young master so much, how dare I treat him badly?" Liu Huining glanced at her proudly, "Sister, just take good care of your injuries, don't worry about me."

"But when my husband is gone, I don't know what the young master will experience."

Watching her leave with a smile, Jiang Shiwan suddenly shouted: "Ayou! Give me back Ayou!"

She was startled out of her dream.

"Meimei." Meng Tingzhou, who had been sitting next to her, hugged her and said, "You are having a nightmare."

Jiang Shiwan just realized that he was sweating all over and that the conversation between him and Liu Huining just now was just a dream.

She looked at Meng Tingzhou in horror: "Where's Ah You? Where's Ah You?"

Seeing her pale face, Meng Tingzhou stroked her black hair and said, "I promised you that I would bring Ah You to you when he wakes up. I think he should be here soon."

Jiang Shiwan was almost in tears.

"Okay, it was a dream." Meng Tingzhou knew how important Ah You was in her heart. "Not to mention you, I also don't feel comfortable letting others take care of Ah You. In fact, Ah You's first birthday will be in two days, but the Governor's Office has been in turmoil recently, so I plan to keep everything simple."

Jiang Shiwan didn't care about these red tapes, so he nodded randomly: "Just do it as you see fit."

"Commander-in-chief, Madam, the young master has woken up."

The nurse's voice came from outside.

Meng Tingzhou said in a deep voice: "Come in."

Ah You was carried in from outside. He was obviously stunned when he saw Meng Tingzhou and Jiang Shiwan, and then he jumped up and down with joy. Meng Tingzhou stood up and asked the nurse to hold the child closer: "Let Madam take a good look."

Ah You seemed to want to rub against Jiang Shi Wan's body, and kept flapping his hands and feet to climb up.

Meng Tingzhou said patiently: "Ayou, my dear, mother is injured and cannot hold you."

Ayou was restrained by the wet nurse and made unpleasant noises to express his protest.

Seeing that he didn't look very well, Jiang Shiwan asked the nurse worriedly, "Why did you have diarrhea out of nowhere?"

The nurse was at a loss: "Madam, please forgive me. Although Madam Ning is responsible for taking care of the young master, the food and things he eats are different from before. I don't know what went wrong."

"Tell me clearly what happened after Madam Ning took over the care of Ah You."

The wet nurse didn't understand what was going on, but she still told Jiang Shiwan what she knew.

After listening for a while, Jiang Shiwan smelled some clues: "Are you saying that it was Madam Ning who fed the young master milk at night?"

"Yes, other than that, Madam Ning and her people were not involved."

"Is this milk any different from the past?"

The nurse thought for a while, as if recalling something: "Madam, there seems to be nothing different."

"Is the milk that the young master drank cold?"

The nurse tried to recall again, a little hesitantly: "Uh... when it was served, they said it was placed in a warming cup, but I didn't see any steam coming out of the bowl."

"That's it." Jiang Shiwan's eyes flashed with understanding, "Ayou has a weak spleen and stomach, and can't drink raw or cold things. I guess he drank cold milk, so he got a stomachache."

This Liu Huining is really meticulous and can kill people without leaving any trace.

Jiang Shiwan looked at Meng Tingzhou: "Now that I'm back, can I let Ah You stay by my side?"

"No." Meng Tingzhou rejected her without thinking, "You are so badly injured, how can you let Ah You stay by your side? What if you get hurt?"

"If you don't trust Liu Huining to take care of the child, we can find someone else to take care of the child. What do you think?"

It seemed like he already had a candidate in mind, so I asked, "Do you think anyone is suitable?"

Meng Tingzhou said thoughtfully: "As for people, I do have one here, but I don't know if you like her or not."

"Tell me what you say."

"I have a cousin who became a widow at a young age. She is a clear-headed person. If you think she's a good choice, I'll have someone bring her to you tomorrow to have a look. If you're satisfied, we'll keep her. If not, we'll find another way."

When Jiang Shiwan heard about her cousin, he naturally frowned: "Cousin? What is the relationship between your cousin and Lin Tingyi?"

"One is the cousin of the Lin family, and the other is the cousin of the Meng family."

Your last name is Meng?
Jiang Shiwan knew very little about the Meng family.

Meng Tingzhou seldom mentions his relatives, and this cousin of the Meng family seems to be quite popular with him.

Jiang Shiwan had another thought: "Why are you willing to let your cousin come to the Governor's Mansion for no reason?"

Meng Tingzhou didn't intend to hide anything, and said calmly: "She was married far away at the time, and her life was hard after her husband died, so she wanted to return to Beijing to live with her family. I think it's a good choice to find someone I know to take care of Ah You."
