Chapter 46: Young Master Arrives
Miss, don't just be grateful to your benefactor. Hurry up and take a look at the children, Aunt Lin said in a choked voice.
Yan Ruyu quickly went to the bed.
Since their mother was already here, Yu Wan could not continue standing there. She stood up and walked to Bai Tang's side.
Yan Ruyu sat down at the head of the bed and looked at the three children worriedly. Then, she reached out to tuck the corners of the children's clothes. In the end, she realized that there was something wrong with the children's clothes.
She frowned and said angrily, What are the nannies doing? Why are they dressing the children like this?
Yu Wan said, I don't think it's the nannies' fault. The robbers changed their original clothes to cover up their tracks.
Otherwise, anyone would be able to tell that something was wrong if a group of men in cloth clothes walked around with three well-dressed children.
Yan Ruyu nodded and said softly, I see. I almost wronged the nanny. Aunt Lin, go get a few sets of clothes from the carriage.
Yes, Miss.
Aunt Lin went to the carriage to get a few clean and warm outfits. There was a tiger hat, tiger shoes, cotton clothes, and cotton pants.
They were indeed the children of a rich family. Just their outfits alone were enough for ordinary people to eat for several years.
Aunt Lin began to change the clothes of one of the children. Yan Ruyu paused for a while before picking up a set of clothes.
Yu Wan took the last set with ease.
Bai Tang could not take care of children. Besides, there was no fourth child for her to do it with. She watched quietly from the side.
Unexpectedly, something unbelievable happened.
For some reason, the child held by Aunt Lin and Yan Ruyu was twisting and turning in their arms. Their little arms and legs were kicking and beating as if they were about to break free at any time.
Then, she looked at Yu Wan. She had already stripped the child down to his underwear. His little head was still moving around, but he was still sleeping like a little pig.
In the end, Aunt Lin and Yan Ruyu were sweating profusely, but they didn't even take off the eldest and second child's pants. On the other hand, Yu Wan had already dressed the third child beautifully.
Let me do it, Yu Wan said to the two of them.
Aunt Lin was so tired that she couldn't speak. Who would have thought that the child, who was small, was so strong?
In the past, the nannies had always complained that the children were difficult to serve. She and the Miss did not take it to heart and only thought that the nannies were slacking off. Now that they had personally tried it, they realized that the nannies had shown mercy.
She wondered how Miss Yu had done it so easily.
Could it be that the farmers were strong? That's right, that must be it!
Aunt Lin handed over the clothes in her hand. Thank you, Miss Yu.
Yu Wan picked up the second child.
It was strange. The second child, who was originally kicking and hitting around, obediently stopped moving when he was in Yu Wan's arms. If it wasn't for the fact that he was still snoring, the few of them would have thought that he had fainted.
After the second child was dressed beautifully, Yu Wan looked at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu braced herself and handed over the clothes in her hands.
Yu Wan had also put it on for the first child.
It went unbelievably smoothly. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Yan Ruyu and Aunt Lin wouldn't have believed it.
These little devils had driven away seven to eight nannies in a month. They even had a bad temper when they slept. Why were they so obedient in the hands of a village girl?
I heard that they were drugged by the robbers. I'm afraid the effect of the medicine hasn't passed yet. They're still in a daze, Aunt Lin whispered.
Yan Ruyu did not say anything and only stared fixedly at Yu Wan. She seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few instructions into Aunt Lin's ear. Aunt Lin's eyes lit up and she went forward to say to Yu Wan, Miss Yu, I see that you hit it off with these children. I wonder if you're willing to come with us to the residence to take care of them?
Bai Tang was unhappy. Why? Do you want Miss Yu to be your little master's nanny? She doesn't have any milk!
Aunt. Lin misunderstood Bai Tang's intention of not letting Yu Wan enter the residence as a servant. She said amiably, The Little Masters stopped drinking milk a long time ago, but we will let Little Masters treat Miss Yu as a wet nurse. In the future, when Little Masters grows up, they will also provide for Miss Yu.
In the Great Li Dynasty, the wet nurse's status was higher than that of ordinary servants. Any aristocratic family that was particular would give the wet nurse her retirement.
In Aunt Lin's opinion, a village girl who relied on selling braised meat for a living would never encounter a better way out in her life. Moreover, they were very strict when it came to selecting wet nurses. However, on the account that Miss Yu had saved their lives and was so capable, they reluctantly made an exception.

Aunt Lin said with a smile, Miss Yu will definitely be satisfied with the monthly salary. When the time is right, we can even arrange a good marriage for Miss Yu.
A maidservant from a rich family would be snatched by others when she went out, let alone a maidservant who had served the little masters. Even a ninth-grade official could marry her.
Miss Yu, what do you think? Aunt Lin asked confidently.
Not a big deal. Yu Wan splashed a bucket of cold water on Aunt Lin. It was true that she liked the children, but she could not go to the Yan Manor to be a servant.
The smile on Aunt Lin's face froze.
Yan Ruyu said softly, If Miss Yu thinks that the status as a wet nurse is too low, how about you become a female teacher for the children?
The female teacher was much more presentable than the wet nurse. At least she was no longer a servant and her monthly salary was especially generous. This was the limit that Yan Ruyu could give Yu Wan. She couldn't let her give up her mother's position, right?
Yu Wan looked at Yan Ruyu coldly. Miss Yan, haven't you heard of the saying that everyone has their own ambitions? It's not because I came from a humble background that I have to curry favor with your family. The jobs you give me are worthless to me. If you really want to thank me, why don't you give me real money? I won't ask for much. How about a thousand taels of gold or ten thousand taels of silver? Young Master Yan's children should be worth this price.
Yan Ruyu choked She was speechless. She thought that she was a reasonable person, but who knew that she would ask for so much? A thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver. Did she have any shame? Did she have any?!
Where would she get so much money if she agreed? But if she didn't agree, wouldn't that mean that Young Master Yan's children weren't worth this price?!
Yu Wan said coldly, Isn't Miss Yan very generous? Don't tell me you can't even take out such a small amount of money? Then why do you keep saying that you'll hire me as the wet nurse of the teacher? I thought your General Manor's money was endless!
Yan Ruyu almost vomited blood.
Aunt Lin gave her a look. This was Little Master's benefactor. Calm down, she had to calm down.
Yan Ruyu fiercely calmed herself down and endured the humiliation as she said, I was rude. I hope Miss Yu doesn't mind. I take back what I said earlier. It's getting late. I should bring the children back. I'll personally deliver the thank you gift and remuneration to Miss Yu.
Yu Wan frowned when she saw her reach out to the children on the bed.
At this moment, there was a huge commotion in the lobby of the White Jade Restaurant.
Young Master Yan has arrived
Yan Ruyu quickly retracted her hand and turned around with the people in the room.
Yan Jiuchao strode in. With his gentle personality, it was rare for him to walk so quickly.
Uncle Wan almost couldn't keep up.
Yan Jiuchao entered the room.
Everyone's gaze fell on him.
This was the first time everyone saw the rumored Young Master Yan. He was wearing a white silver fox cloak. He had a slender figure, black hair like ink, and a jade-like face. His eyes were sparkling. At first glance, he looked thin, but if one looked carefully, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was handsome and perfect.
The moment he crossed the threshold, the entire room seemed to light up.
Bai Tang was speechless. No wonder this person's reputation was so bad, but there were still so many women who wanted to marry him. He indeed had a face that could bring calamity to the country and the people
Yu Wan also felt that his beauty was a little against the rules. However, what she cared about was not this, but that this face was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Yan Ruyu, who had just been ridiculed, blushed with excitement when she saw the person who could support her. She hurriedly bowed. Yan
Yan Jiuchao walked past her without even looking.
Yan Ruyu's body stiffened.
Yan Jiuchao came to the bed.
Uncle Wan also chased after him.
The two of them stared at the sleeping children and a thought flashed through their minds. This little nose and little eyes were simply carved out of the same mold as Yan Jiuchao. No one would believe that they weren't his biological sons
Yan Jiuchao said firmly, Take them away.
