Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Acknowledger the Wet Nurse as Foster Mother_1

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Xu Family had expressions of amazement on their faces.

“Ruoruo, what did you just say? Are you going to recognize my mother as your godmother? So, from now on, you will be my god-sister?” Xu Zhengyong exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, I’m planning on doing that. We will pick a day, and I will bring gifts to your doorstep to formally acknowledge you as my godparents.”

She had been thinking about this for a long time, but the circumstances had not been ripe before.

Now, with her second brother’s help, she had nothing to worry about.

And the status of her wet nurse, due to Brother Xiaoyong’s accomplishments, had changed.

Since everything was in place, it was time to schedule the important matter she had been longing for.

“This can’t be done! Absolutely not!” her Wet Nurse exclaimed in a hurry.

“Exactly, this isn’t right. Miss, you are so noble, it won’t work with us.” Xu Zhushan also quickly intervened, gesturing with his hands.

Xu Zhengyong, however, held a different view: “I think it’s great! Father, Mother, you becoming Ruoruo’s godparents would be wonderful. Then, I can openly and honourably be Ruoruo’s brother!”

“No, we are too humble to be the godparents of Miss.” The Wet Nurse kept refusing, waving her hand.

Wei Ruo held the Wet Nurse’s hand and expressed her heartfelt feelings: “Nanny, first, in my heart, your status has never been humble. We’re family, not master and servant. Secondly, your current status is not low. Brother Xiaoyong has been made a Military General. You are the legitimate mother of a General, and there is no shortage of prestige. You have absolutely no need for any concerns.”

“Yes, Mother! When I first joined the army, my goal was to hope for our family to have a reputable status. Although I wasn’t able to achieve my initial goal of helping Ruoruo leave the Wei Family, I can at least let Ruoruo rightfully call you Mother now without any constraints.” Xu Zhengyong stated.

“It won’t work, it’s not acceptable!” the Wet Nurse reiterated, shaking her head.

“Wet Nurse!” Wei Ruo said seriously, “I really want a mother, but my relationship with my birth mother is not good and is unlikely to get better. Throughout my life, you have always been there for me. To me, you are not my birth mother, but you are more than that. So, can you fulfill my wish and be my mother?”

The Wet Nurse was startled, her eyes reddening.

Then she got up, covered her face, and walked into the house.

Xu Zhushan followed her into the house.

Wei Ruo didn’t follow. She knew the Wet Nurse was happy.

After a while, Xu Zhushan accompanied the Wet Nurse back to the dining table.

She nodded slightly, letting Wei Ruo know that she agreed.

Wei Ruo was delighted, “Great! After the ceremony, we will officially be mother and daughter.”

Xu Zhengyong asked Wei Ruo a question: “Ruoruo, although I am very happy that you want to be my god-sister, shouldn’t we first ask the Prince? What if he disagrees?”

“Don’t worry about it. He already knows about it and he agrees.” Wei Ruo replied confidently with a smile on her face.

“That’s good. He seems to be a decent man.” Xu Zhengyong commented.

Then Xu Zhengyong added: “I will immediately find a fortune teller to select an auspicious date!”

Upon hearing that, the Wet Nurse hurriedly replied: “No need for that, we don’t have to be that formal.”

Xu Zhengyong said, “Mother, we have to be formal. It would be best if everyone in the Capital City knows. This is the moment when Ruoruo acknowledges you as a godmother, how can we be casual?”

Wei Ruo stated, “That’s right, Nurse. It should be more formal. Tomorrow, we will go and ask Daoist Qianyuan to give the Wet Nurse a formal name, and then select a good day. In a couple of days, on the Lantern Festival, I will hold a banquet, and I will officially announce it there.”

The Wet Nurse was born into an impoverished family and because she was a female child, she did not even have a proper name.

Without any accidents, after her death, only Xu He would be engraved on her tombstone.
