Jiang Jin looked at the baby in her arms and said indifferently, “There’s no need to care about him!”
Ye Xin who was pretending to be Song Ning panicked inwardly. She hurriedly reached for the baby and said, “Grandma, you’ve been holding him for half a day. Let me carry him.”
Jiang Jin avoided Song Ning’s hand. She smiled kindly before she said, “Forget it. Why don’t you go for a walk? You’ve been feeling down lately. Let me look after the baby. Didn’t we agree that I’ll help you look after the baby after you give birth? You agreed to let the baby accompany me. You have to keep your words.”
Song Ning hastily said, “Alright, Grandma. It’s good to let the baby accompany you. This can also be considered as a bit of filial piety from me and Mu Chen.”
Although Jiang Jin was smiling at this moment, inwardly, she felt her heart sink. After a moment, she raised her voice slightly and called out, “Yu!”
Perhaps, due to the volume of Jiang Jin’s voice, the baby began to move around. Jiang Jin hurriedly said, “I’m sorry to have scared you, baby. I’m sorry. It’s all Great-Grandma’s fault…”
The baby gurgled and giggled as though he was saying he forgave her.
Jiang Jin could not help but smile.
At this time, Sister Yu who had hurried over asked, “Old Madam, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Jin handed the baby to Sister Yu and said, “It’s time for the baby to have his milk. Send him to my room. I’ll put him to sleep as well. It’s almost time for his nap. From now on, I’ll change my schedule to adapt to the baby’s schedule…”
Jiang Jin rose to her feet and pulled Song Ning up before she said with a kind smile, “Let the chauffeur bring you out for a walk. I’m sure you feel stifled at him. By the time you return, Mu Chen should have calmed down as well. Since there’s someone to help you take care of the baby now, you should take the chance to go out…”
Song Ning’s tense expression eased instantly. “Thank you, Grandma!”
…
Jiang Jin seemed to be in a daze as she sat next to the baby’s crib and gently swayed it.
Sister Yu moved next to Jiang Jin and asked in a soft voice, “Old Madam, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Jin was startled. Sister Yu’s words pulled her back to her senses immediately.
Sister Yu said, concerned, “Are you tired? Why don’t rest for a while? The Little Master is already asleep, and I think he’ll be sleeping for another two hours. Don’t worry, I’ll watch over him…”
Jiang Jin’s gaze fell on the baby’s tiny and fair face before she softly said, “Yu, from today onward, the baby will stay in my room. Only two of us will look after the baby. You have to put 120% of your effort into watching over him. Take care of him just like how you’d taken care of Mu Chen back then. The water, the milk formula, and everything the baby consumes… Move all of them into my room. Don’t leave any of the tasks concerning the baby to anyone else. Do you understand?”
Sister Yu was confused. “Old Madam, what happened?”
Jiang Jin shook her head gently. “It’s nothing. I’m just taking precautions. Do as I say. Just imagine if someone wants to harm the baby? Doesn’t that make you worry?”
Sister Yu was shocked, “Old Madam! What’s going on? Who wants to harm the baby? I’ll give him or her a thorough beating!”
Jiang Jin grabbed Sister Yu’s arm. “Yu, all I’m asking is for you to be on guard. I’m not saying someone is definitely going to harm the baby.”
Upon hearing these words, Sister Yu sighed in relief. Her eyes were slightly red as she said, “Old Madam, you almost scared me to death. Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on the Little Master at all times.”
Jiang Jin nodded. “Apart from me, you, and Mu Chen, no one’s allowed to get close to the baby or touch anything that goes into the baby’s mouth. Remember to keep an eye on all the people at home. Do you understand?”
“I-I… I understand,” Sister Yu stammered slightly. After a beat, she asked tentatively, “Then, does this apply to… to Y-young Madam?”
Jiang Jin nodded solemnly. “Yes, everything I said applies to her especially so. Don’t let her get close to the baby, and don’t listen to any of the advice she gives about the baby. Do you understand?”
Sister Yu nodded. “Yes.. I’ll remember your words, Old Madam.” Following that, she said in a small voice, “In fact, I’ve also felt that something isn’t right with the Young Madam…”
