Nanny Chen said, "Old Madam, you can rest assured about this. I believe Du Shiniang is an excellent choice. Not only is she exceptionally talented in doing business, but she also manages her daily life in an orderly manner. She is a woman who excels both inside and outside the home. In the future, she can support her husband and teach her children at home, as well as assist her husband on the battlefield to fight enemies. Imprinting her image into Young Master Achen’s neural pathways was the right move."
"Mm, what you said is correct. From now on, let Du Shiniang hand over her tasks to another Smart Girl. Now that she is bearing the Sheng Family’s child, she must be well taken care of in terms of diet and daily life," the Old Lady stated and then inquired, "In the past few days, it seems I haven’t seen Sun Nanjue and An Zhe causing trouble, have I?"
"Old Madam, they haven’t come in these past few days. I think, over time, they will lose interest in our family’s Young Master Achen. After all, those people only got close to our young master for their own benefit. All those claims of brotherhood are false. If Young Master Achen ceases to bring them advantages, they will naturally know when to back off and stay away."
The Old Lady asked, "Have you settled the family of Guan Jiu?"
Nanny Chen replied, "You can be at ease, Old Madam. I’ve already moved Guan Jiu’s family to a secret location. After this, Guan Jiu would dare not mess with our affairs; otherwise, he would not bear the consequences."
"That’s good!" the Old Madam snorted coldly, "Actually, if it were just the issue of Ye Shu, I wouldn’t have thought to deal with her so harshly, but given that she and Su Mei are mother and daughter, I have to be cautious."
"Yes, Old Madam, if she were a chess piece Su Mei deliberately sent to infiltrate the Sheng Family, then we would undoubtedly face a terrible defeat. We forced Su Mei into such a difficult position back then; once Su Mei gains power, she will definitely not show any mercy towards the Sheng Family. Therefore, preventing Ye Shu from being with the young lord is the wisest choice."
"Has there been any news on the whereabouts of Ye Shu?" Although the Old Lady loathed Ye Shu, the fact that Ye Shu was pregnant with the heir of the Sheng Family meant the Old Lady still harbored some concern.
Nanny Chen replied, "No, we haven’t found any information yet. I’ve already arranged for people to monitor Ou Linlin around the clock. If she goes to find Ye Shu, we’ll be able to locate Ye Shu’s hiding place immediately."
Eight months flew by in the blink of an eye. Ye Shu leaned back on the recliner, gently stroked her rounded belly, and couldn’t help but reveal a happy smile on her face.
Da Li, on the other hand, chuckled beside her, "Ye Shu, did the baby kick you again?"
Ye Shu smiled, "Yes, Auntie Da Li, do you want to come and listen?"
"Sure, sure!" Despite Da Li’s Herculean strength, when she approached Ye Shu’s round belly, her movements became as gentle as could be. After listening to the belly for seven or eight seconds, she excitedly said, "Little Bao is so strong, seems like he can’t wait to come out! Ye Shu, let me take care of the baby in the future. I like the little baby!"
"Alright, your body is full of muscles, perfect to be the baby’s portable cradle," Ye Shu chuckled. After spending the past few months together, Ye Shu realized that Da Li was actually very careful when it came to work, completely different from her ferocity during a fight.
Especially as her belly grew larger day by day, Da Li’s care became even more meticulous. Sometimes, Ye Shu truly felt that Da Li was like a Guardian God sent by God Himself to look after her. In this lifetime, to receive such care was more than enough.
