This deeply scheming wet nurse was once the dowry maid of Princess Zhao Qing, who later married and beca the wet nurse of Princess Zhao Qing’s eldest daughter, Dong Wan’er, who is now present here.
Because she was unwilling to see her family decline just like that, unwilling to be overshadowed by her illegitimate sister, and even more unwilling to spend a lifeti with an ordinary man in obscurity, she decided to gamble everything, bringing her wet nurse with her to the Capital. Her purpose in coming to the Capital was clear: to catch Mu Chongwu. At present, in the entire Great Jin Nation, the most noble and wealthy single man is Mu Chongwu. Only by marrying Mu Chongwu could she wipe away the sha of being rejected by Mu Chongwen, have a chance to contend with Dong Lian’er, now known as Yuwen Yanran, and save her family and the fate of her dad and mom.
To achieve her goals, she made great efforts. She hadn’t been in the Capital just for a day or two, nor did she co alone with only her wet nurse. Her guards had already scoped out Mu Chongwu’s daily activities, and every encounter with Mu Chongwu was intricately planned by her. Performing arts at restaurants, coincidental etings on the street, and even getting injured by a horse were all her own orchestrations, all to attract Mu Chongwu, to elicit his sympathy and compassion.
Her serene and elegant deanor, every word she said, every action and expression when interacting with him, were all rehearsed in advance. They were extraordinary performances ant to move n, making them feel pity for her.
Her musical skills were indeed remarkable, but not every piece was played so beautifully. Only the two pieces Mu Chongwu ’unintentionally’ heard were played like a heavenly lody.
Those two pieces were painstakingly practiced to seduce him, trained under the guidance of renowned masters, perfect and flawless, thus creating those srizing lodies. Though her other pieces were good, they were not on the sa level as these two.
After half a year of efforts, she didn’t toil in vain. Mu Chongwu was already captivated by her. He arranged for her to stay in the backyard of his fur shop, cared for her ticulously, and often stopped by to chat and share drinks with her, occasionally even composing poems together.
In his heart, she must be different from the others; otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn’t easily dine and drink with any woman!
The fur shop was a two-entry house. The first entry faced the street and served as the storefront, while the second entry was where Dong Wan’er lived. The shopkeeper and embroiderer there were all people from the Capital who went ho at night to rest, leaving only two shopkeepers to stay at the shop to keep watch.
So, the whole backyard with four large rooms was occupied by Dong Wan’er alone, very quiet and peaceful.
When Mu Chongwu arrived, Dong Wan’er was embroidering a cloak trimd with mink fur. She didn’t know how long she had been embroidering with her head down. When she heard Mu Chongwu entering, she looked up, saw it was Mu Chongwu, and quickly stood up to greet him.
However, whether it was because she had been bowing her head for too long or she was physically weak, after she stood up, she felt dizzy and softly fell to one side.
"Wan’er!" Mu Chongwu swiftly stepped forward and caught Dong Wan’er.
With the warmth and gentleness in his embrace, Mu Chongwu felt a mont of awkwardness. He had never been so close to a woman, let alone hold a woman in his arms.
But Wan’er had already fainted; he couldn’t just leave her there. In a rush, he carried her horizontally to the couch.
The wet nurse ca out, saw her young miss had fainted, and was shocked. She said, "Oh dear, Miss has fainted again. Please trouble Young Master Mu to look after her; I will go and prepare her dicine."
