The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 446: I’m Sorry

Lady Wu looked up at Jiang Youzhi standing in front of her, suddenly stood up and embraced him, then rested her forehead against his shoulder, bursting into a sob-like cry.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault for losing you, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my son..."

Listening to these words, Jiang Youzhi’s eyes unknowingly grew moist.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently patted Lady Wu’s back.

Lady Wu began to cry even more uncontrollably, clutching Jiang Youzhi tightly as if she was using all her strength.

Jiang Youzhi didn’t know how to comfort her, at the moment, he didn’t feel any sense of reality.

Though holding Lady Wu did make him feel a blood connection, he couldn’t call her "mother" at this moment. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Prince Kang’s eyes were also a bit moist beside them.

Anyone witnessing such a scene would be somewhat moved.

However, Prince Kang did not let Lady Wu cry for too long; with just one sentence, he successfully stopped her from crying, "Lady Wu, are the maid and nanny who were with you when you gave birth still around?"

Lady Wu’s cries choked, she held Jiang Youzhi’s hand tightly with one hand while quickly wiping away her tears with the other, solemnly nodding, "They are still around."

Prince Kang asked softly, "Is the lady able to recount the circumstances of the childbirth then?"

Lady Wu pulled Jiang Youzhi to sit down; fortunately, the chair was wide enough for both not to feel cramped. She kept holding Jiang Youzhi’s hand tightly as she slowly recalled.

"After I gave birth that year, I first heard the baby crying, loud and strong, and I thought then, my son must be very healthy."

"But after a while, the nanny said the baby’s face turned blue and it seemed he wouldn’t make it."

"I didn’t believe it, struggled to ask her to show me."

"She waited a while and then handed the baby over."

"At that time, in the carriage, it was already dark, and I couldn’t see clearly."

"She said beside me that the baby had no breath left."

"I still didn’t believe it, but when I checked the baby’s breath, there was indeed none."

"I almost collapsed, I couldn’t believe the baby I had gone through so much to give birth to was gone just like that."

"Then the nanny took the baby over again, saying she would try to see if she could save him."

"I was so weak then, couldn’t even lift myself up to take a look at the baby."

"Who would’ve thought the nanny then said the baby was already dead thoroughly and needed to be buried quickly or else it would bring bad luck."

"I wanted to stop her, but I was in such a rush and pain, and before I could say anything, I fainted."

"When I woke up again, the carriage had reached the inn, I asked the nanny where the baby was, and she said it was already buried."

"She said she was afraid I would see and feel sad, and grieving during postpartum would leave lasting sickness."

"At that time, I just wanted to find the baby; even if my child was gone, he couldn’t be left in that barren wilderness, but I simply couldn’t get up."

"After resting at the inn for a day, Jiang Zhongxing came; I asked him to take the nanny to find the baby; he and the nanny went out and came back saying they couldn’t find it, saying that it was late then, and the nanny didn’t remember the place where she buried the baby."

"They dug several places but found nothing."

After listening to Lady Wu, Prince Kang frowned and said, "What about that nanny?"

Lady Wu’s face turned cold, "She was the wet nurse that accompanied me from my marriage, raised me since I was little. After that incident, I was very displeased with her; soon after I moved to the other residence, I sent her to the estate to retire."

Prince Kang asked, "Is she still alive?"

Lady Wu closed her eyes and shook her head, "Not long after she went to the estate, she caught a cold and passed away."
