Chapter 214: Deep Fear

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After Nanny Sun finished mocking Liu Sanniang, she looked at Su Qiong and said, “Madam, this girl is a liar. Don’t be deceived by her. At my age, I’m no longer afraid of dying. What I worry about the most is you, Madam. You’re being deceived, I’ll let you see the truth.”

Su Qiong frowned. When she heard Nanny Sun’s words, she felt as if she was being roasted on a fire.

She looked away and said sternly, “Shut up. Don’t disturb Miss Liu.”

Even if facing the truth would tear her heart into two, she had to do it. If she backed off this time, she would be tortured for the rest of her life.

When one was indecisive, one would suffer. She deeply understood this.

Looking at Su Qiong’s reaction, Nanny Sun understood that before this matter was resolved, they wouldn’t be allowed to go.

Nanny Sun looked at Liu Sanniang and wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t move it as if it was nailed to the table.

Nanny Sun’s heart tightened for some reason. What was going on?

Gradually, her tense body was wrapped in a warm force. Under this force, she gradually relaxed and felt comfortable.

Liu Sanniang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Nanny Sun. She said slowly, “You lied. You swapped the children.”

Nanny Sun’s eyes widened, and her turbid eyes were filled with deep fear. She trembled and opened her mouth a few times, but she could not speak. She wanted to stop Liu Sanniang from speaking, but Liu Sanniang tightened her grip, forcing her to remain seated.

Sweat broke out on Nanny Sun’s forehead and her limbs trembled. At this moment, she was very afraid, as if her deepest secret had been discovered.

“When Su Qiong gave birth, you were by her side. After the child was born, you didn’t let the child cry. You hid the child in your loose clothes and went in smoothly. You stuffed some gold into the midwife’s pocket and told her to rest while you delivered the baby. You were the one who took the child out after he was born. You then placed him in the basket and came back with a baby girl.”

“The baby girl was too thin and weak, so the midwife was suspicious. You said that Madam didn’t eat well when she was pregnant and eventually, she believed you.”

“You rushed back with the basket after giving the child away to Concubine Yun. You were worried that the matter would be exposed and wanted the concubine to raise the boy just in case. If this matter was really exposed in the future, you could use him to threaten.”

Liu Sanniang let go. What she saw in Nanny Sun was evil. Her strong lust and ambition made her lose her mind.

Nanny Sun’s face was pale. As soon as Liu Sanniang let go, she fell from the stool and crawled towards Su Qiong. Tears flowed down her face as she wailed. “Madam, please spare my life.”

Nanny Xiao, on the other hand, looked at Liu Sanniang as if she was looking at a ferocious beast.

She got down on her knees and cried, “Madam, I’m innocent. Please spare my life. Don’t listen to this woman. She is lying.”

In the house, only a few of Su Qiong’s most trusted servants were present. They were all in shock.

Su Qiong shot Nanny Sun, who was hugging her, an angry look and kicked her away. She shouted. “Get her up.”

Nanny Xiao resistant. “No, she is a liar. She’s spouting nonsense.”

Su Shun and a few other servants grabbed Nanny Xiao and dragged her to the table to sit down. They pulled her hands out forcefully. Su Shun said, “Madam treated you so well, but you betrayed her. Miss Liu, don’t hold back your power. You must find out where the young master is now.”

Liu Sanniang grabbed Nanny Xiao’s hand and closed her eyes. She released her power and enveloped the room.

She broke down Nanny Xiao’s mental defense and unfolded her.

Under the empathic effect, everyone could see the memory of that period of time.

Thirteen years ago, Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao were still with Su Qiong. She trusted the two old nannies. After her relationship with Lu Shiming fell apart, the burden on her shoulders was not reduced at all.

The child in her stomach became her hope. If it was a son, she would have no regrets in her life.

Lu Shiming’s ambition disgusted her. She could not possibly bring herself to have another child with Lu Shiming. The two old nannies knew better than anyone how much Su Qiong wanted a son.

When Concubine Yun found them and promised them a handsome reward, the two of them decided to betray Su Qiong.

Nothing would happen if Su Qiong could not give birth to a son. After all, she could still nurture her daughter.

When Su Qiong was giving birth, Nanny Xiao was waiting by her side while Nanny Sun was with Concubine Yun. If Concubine Yun gave birth to a son, Nanny Sun didn’t need to do anything. If it was a daughter, she would bring the daughter over to swap.

Before Nanny Sun came back, Nanny Xiao did not dare to relax for a moment. There were a few times when Su Qiong’s child was about to come out, but she pushed it back while the midwife was not paying attention.

When Nanny Sun came, the two of them exchanged a look. Nanny Sun sent the midwife away and the two of them quickly swapped the children. When they saw that it was a son, they did not hesitate.

Su Qiong did not notice that her child was swapped.

She did feel unhappy that it turned out to be a daughter, but that didn’t stop her from loving her daughter. What was more, because her daughter had poor health, she loved her even more.

As for the nannies, they got what they were promised.

Because they were old, Su Qiong allowed them to retire. They did not plan to tell Su Qiong this secret and were prepared to die with it.

Liu Sanniang retracted her power and everyone snapped back to reality. Su Qiong could not help but tremble after seeing the truth with her own eyes.
