Chapter 1730: Chapter 1730: Ungrateful
Mrs. Liang felt restless and uneasy; Su Yunjin stared at Mrs. Liang and soon understood.
“Madam, I know I shouldn’t be ; both you and Master have been kind to me. But I have a son and daughter; my daughter is not yet married and still needs my care. I can’t afford to have anything happen to me. I must stay alive.”
Mrs. Liang kept apologizing, and Su Yunjin watched her without speaking. Mrs. Liang glanced at Little Yuanbao in Su Yunjin’s arms and continued, “Madam, you are a mother too, I believe you surely understand me, don’t you?”
Mrs. Liang looked at Su Yunjin with a hopeful expression, hoping Su Yunjin would let her leave.
Su Yunjin remained silent.
Mrs. Liang waited for a while without receiving a response from Su Yunjin, feeling increasingly anxious, fearing that Su Yunjin would not agree.
She really didn’t want to die!
The assassins today were all deadly.
She couldn’t afford to provoke them, all she could do was hide.
Su Yunjin did not speak, and the air was filled with a silent, oppressive atmosphere.
Mrs. Liang glanced at Su Yunjin out of the corner of her eye, and as Mrs. Liang grew increasingly tense, Su Yunjin suddenly spoke.

“Mrs. Liang, if you want to leave, I’m not stopping you.”
Back when Mrs. Liang was brought from Yangcheng by Gu Ya to be a midwife, the initial agreement was that Mrs. Liang could leave after the full month was completed following the child’s birth.
Later, as Mrs. Liang turned out to be a good cook, Su Yunjin wished to keep her on for cooking duties and decided to retain her.
Both Gu Ya and Su Yunjin had always been generous to their servants, paying high wages. With profitable employment, Mrs. Liang naturally did not refuse.
When Su Yunjin and Gu Ya asked Mrs. Liang to stay on, she was happy to agree.
Now that Mrs. Liang wanted to leave, Su Yunjin wouldn’t force her to stay.
“Thank you, Madam, for accommodating me. Thank you, Madam, for accommodating me.”
Mrs. Liang was grateful, repeatedly expressing her thanks. Since Su Yunjin agreed, Mrs. Liang’s tone was filled with joy. It was wonderful, just wonderful. She could leave; her life was preserved.
Su Yunjin watched Mrs. Liang’s joyous demeanor and couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable. However, she didn’t say anything, merely furrowed her brow.
Mrs. Liang eagerly requested to leave. Though it was for self-preservation, her actions were understandable. Su Yunjin had no reason to blame her.
After her initial joy, Mrs. Liang seemed to realize her impropriety, concealed her smile, and instinctively wanted to explain something. However, Su Yunjin didn’t give Mrs. Liang the chance.
“Mrs., you have cared for me these months, and for these months, you’ve been dutiful. Now that you want to leave, I will give you all the wages you deserve without missing a penny. Besides, I’ll arrange your travel fare and carriage back to Huiyang City, so now you may go back to your room to pack. Once you’re ready, I’ll have someone see you off tomorrow morning.”
Su Yunjin spoke gently, and Mrs. Liang did not expect that despite her selfish request to leave, the Madam did not fault her, even arranging transportation and full wages.
For a moment, Mrs. Liang felt a sense of shame that couldn’t be easily concealed on her old face.
“Madam, I…,” Mrs. Liang looked at Su Yunjin with some emotion.
Su Yunjin said calmly, “There’s no need to say anything; I respect your choice.” This simple sentence silenced Mrs. Liang.
Su Yunjin continued to entertain Little Yuanbao, and although Mrs. Liang was touched, it was not enough to make her stay.
With her head lowered, Mrs. Liang quietly retreated from the room.
The wet nurse finally couldn’t hold back her anger, “Madam, Mrs. Liang is acting , why are you still being so kind to her?”
