Boss Qian said, "The one we had yesterday is no good. She was dark, fat, and ugly. She was far inferior to the maids in the mansion. How could I choose such a person as a wet nurse for my daughter?"

Shang Xi was too lazy to argue with him, "What's wrong with that? I'm in good health and my milk supply is good. As a wet nurse, why do you need to be so pretty?"

Boss Qian was very conflicted. He covered his forehead with one hand and pretended to have a headache. "That woman looks like that. It's hard for me to see her. Will my daughter feel comfortable looking at her every day?" Boss Qian thought about it, then waved his hand vigorously, as if he had made some important decision. "No, what happened yesterday is absolutely not allowed. Absolutely not allowed."

Shang Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to be picky when your daughter is starving."

Cheng Feng, who was rubbing the child's face, asked, "So will my sister feed the child herself?"

Shang Xi smiled, "It's amazing, this child didn't get a single drop of your sister's milk."

"Ah? Then what does this child eat?" Cheng Feng couldn't help being a little surprised, because when Cheng Youning was a child, Shang Xi fed her for a long time. Her sister's health was much better than Shang Xi's, so how could she not have milk to feed the child?

Shang Xi said, "Brother-in-law has been slow to choose a wet nurse, so now Furong has to work hard every day. Furong has been living in the Qian Mansion, nursing the baby day and night. It's only been a few days and she has become thinner."

"How's my sister?"

"My sister escaped death this time. She suffered heavy bleeding when giving birth to the child and almost died." Speaking of this, Shang Xi still felt a little sad.

Cheng Feng was extremely anxious when he heard this, "I'll go in and see my sister."

"Oh, Cheng Feng, oh, men cannot enter the confinement room. Your son is ignorant, and you are not sensible either." Shang Xi couldn't catch up with Cheng Feng even after jogging behind.

At this time, he was stopped by Madam Wan who came out.

"Mom?" Cheng Feng chuckled.

Madam Wan pretended to be angry and said, "You are already an adult, but you are so reckless and not steady at all."

Cheng Feng scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I wanted to go in and see my sister."

"Men cannot enter the confinement room. Your sister is fine. She needs more rest."

"Then how did Cheng Youning get in?"

"He is a child, not a human being."

"Grandma, who do you say is not a human being?" Cheng Youning's little head popped out of the house, looking at Madam Wan with a pair of eyes.

Madam Wan said lovingly, "Grandma didn't say anything to you. You should come out too. Don't disturb your aunt's rest."

Mrs. Wan's eyes were full of love when she saw Cheng Feng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She pulled Cheng Feng and asked him questions as he walked towards the hall. "Feng'er, I heard from the old housekeeper that your journey was long. Did you encounter any danger on the way? And are there any snakes on the Shepan Ancient Road? Did you get bit by a snake?"

"There are snakes, but not many." Cheng Feng didn't tell the truth because he was afraid that Madam Wan would be scared.

Madam Wan laughed again when she heard this. "The old housekeeper really didn't lie to me. He said that place is called Shepan Ancient Road, but there are not many snakes. Ever since I knew that you were not going out for a simple hunting trip, but were going to the Broken Road Forest and passing through Shepan Ancient Road, I have been worried every day, often worried that you would encounter snakes on the road. When you said there were no snakes, mother believed it. It seems that there are really no snakes on this Shepan Ancient Road."

Cheng Youning chuckled, "Grandma, the old housekeeper is lying. There are a lot of snakes on the Snake Pan Ancient Road."

"Really? Are you injured?"

Seeing his mother panicking, Cheng Feng quickly said, "It was a close call, no one was hurt."

Mrs. Wan was relieved, but she still complained to the old housekeeper, "This old housekeeper didn't tell me the truth and said there was no snake."

Cheng Youning said crisply again: "Grandma, they all lied to you. My father lied to you too. There are not only many snakes on the Shepan Ancient Road, but they are also big. The biggest one is thicker than my waist, and the snakes run very fast."

Shang Xi was also listening along, everyone was worried. Madam Wan didn't know about the matter because everyone in the mansion was hiding it from her, but she knew a lot. The journey must be very dangerous, otherwise why had no one been able to cross the Snake Pan Ancient Road and reach the Duanlu Forest for hundreds of years? But she didn't quite believe what Cheng Youning said. There could be many snakes and they could be poisonous, but how could they be so thick?

"Cheng Youning, you are not here to scare your grandmother, are you? What kind of snake can have a waist as thick as yours? Don't you know how thick your waist is?" Cheng Youning's waist is not thin. Shang Xi has never seen a python with a waist as thick as Cheng Youning's. A waist as thick as a bowl is not thin at all.

Cheng Youning looked up and said, "Mom, you don't believe what I said?"

Shang Xi shook her head: "I don't believe it."

"Mom, it's really as thick as my waist."

Shang Xi touched Cheng Youning's head and said, "Don't scare your grandma here. You can say there are a lot of snakes on the Shepan Ancient Road, but you can't say something unrealistic. Look, your grandma's face has turned pale because of you."

Cheng Youning was really at a loss, he looked at Cheng Feng and said, "Dad, please tell Mom and Grandma if the snake is as thick as my waist."

Cheng Feng smiled and shook his head: "There are pythons, but they are not big."

Cheng Youning immediately got anxious: "Dad, you're lying. Have you forgotten that you were chased by a snake while holding me in your arms and running around? You were even scolded by your grandfather for this. Have you forgotten?"

Cheng Feng scratched his head awkwardly, "I was chased by a snake, but it wasn't as mysterious as you said."

In order to prove that what he said was true, Cheng Youning took something out of his purse and showed it to Shang Xi and Madam Wan.

Mrs. Wan's eyes were a little blurry. "Grandson, what is this?"

"This is the tooth of a python. It was this python that bit my grandfather's arm. It was very ferocious."

Cheng Feng reached out and supported Madam Wan. Before he could say a word of advice, Cheng Youning started causing trouble for him.

Madam Wan was obviously frightened by Cheng Youning's words, "Go back home quickly, I'll see how Lian Xing is doing."

Cheng Feng said: "Mom, it's been more than 20 days since she was bitten. She's fine now."

As expected, Madam Wan wiped away her tears and asked, "Is your uncle's arm still there? Is it possible that he has lost it?"

Cheng Feng sighed: "It's really okay, no limbs are missing, but there is a row of teeth marks on the arm that was bitten by the python."

Madam Wan shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. With such a big tooth, the arm must be broken. Hurry up and prepare the carriage. I have to go back and take a look."

"Mom, you won't be able to see my uncle when you go back. He's surrounded by a group of officials, and they may not finish their meeting."

"He's already injured, why should he be in charge of government affairs? I think he's redundant as an official. He's been tormented by him for the past two years, and he hasn't had a single day of peace. He might as well just retire and go back to the countryside."
