After quickly taking a sip of tea and calming down his emotions, Huang Qiong said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the things you said. I'm afraid the royal decree for my king's return to the capital will be issued in the next few days. My king When they return to the capital, they will naturally return to the capital together. But my sister-in-law is looking for me today, not just for family matters."
After hearing Huang Qiong's words, Liu Hu's wife hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I won't stop my sister-in-law from remarrying. My eldest brother has been gone for so many years, and my sister-in-law has suffered so much in Prince Jing's Mansion. Now Finally, she has a high-ranking official who knows her well. As a younger brother and sister, I can only be happy for her and have absolutely no other thoughts."
"Last night, my sister-in-law and I also talked about it. Although she will not suffer if she gets married, I will make the decision on Liu Hu's behalf for the hundreds of acres of land you returned to the Liu family, and all will be transferred to the names of her two children. I guarantee that they will The children have no worries about food and clothing. As for Liu Hu's two children, I told him not to worry. As long as you are here and our biological father and mother are here, those two children will not be able to bear the injustice."
"This is the last thing that the Liu family and I, the former brother-in-law, can do for her. I know that you let your two children follow your sister-in-law for their own good. Besides, you are not remarrying with your mother. You don’t have to change your name and you just become a student, which is a great thing. But I have two things I want to ask the prince for."
"You also know, can you talk to your sister-in-law and leave your niece to me? These two children have grown up with me and Liu Hu over the years. I have never had any problems because they are not biological. What other thoughts do you have? Even during the most difficult days of being a refugee, I would divide the little food into four equal portions, and I would never show favoritism because they were not my children."
"I also know that he is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in sending a child to him. But as a girl, it is enough to read some books and understand some principles. There is no need to learn those military arts and tactics. Moreover, my niece is introverted, doesn’t like to talk, and is not lovable.”
"I heard that there is a young lady who has not yet left the palace. I don't know what her character is like. I am really worried. Although she may not suffer much when she is with her own mother. But when my sister-in-law comes to this house, she is so... It's not good for an official to be too partial to his own children. Can you talk to your sister-in-law and leave your niece with me?"
"Also, as you know, Liu Hu has a vulgar personality. Apart from practicing martial arts all day long, he is not interested in anything else. Even if he takes care of the children, he only shouts a few times when the children are naughty. On weekdays, he is not interested in anything else. I don't care. Now I'm your bodyguard again. This time I'll be with you for several months when you go out to fight, and I don't have any free time to discipline your children."
"The boys are getting older, and it is really difficult for me as a mother to discipline them alone. Although I have been studying with Mr. Jia, I feel that neither Mr. Jia nor Mr. Fan's things are suitable for children of their age. Study. If they want to study when they are older, I, as a mother, will naturally not stop them. But now, I am really worried. "
"Can you talk to the master and accept me and Liu Hu's son? I don't ask him to be a Jinshi in the future, let alone be a general in the army. I just ask him to be a good man in the future. , Be able to do things openly and aboveboard. Those small tricks will never become big things after all, and if you don’t grasp them well, you can easily harm others and yourself.”
After hearing Mrs. Liu Hu's words, Huang Qiong couldn't help but give a thumbs up in her heart. Not to mention her wisdom, this woman's vision is much better than Liu Hu's in the long run. Before she had time to tell her that Liu Hu's son should also be placed under Mingyuan's sect, she took the initiative herself. Even his understanding of Jia Quan is not much worse than his own.
If this woman were a man, with this vision alone, he would definitely find a way to keep her by his side as his staff. It's a pity that she is a woman and a married woman. What a pity for her talent. The second thing she said was that I originally meant it, so there was no harm in agreeing to it.
But the first thing was a bit difficult for Huang Qiong. The mother took her daughter by her side to take care of her, and no one could say anything about it. Even if you remarry with your mother, others can't say it's wrong. Huang Qiong also believed that with the personalities of Yu Mingyuan and Li Xiu, this child would definitely be no different from the past.
But Huang Qiong had noticed the love that the woman in front of her had for her nephews and nieces some time ago, and she truly cared for them as if they were her own children. No matter in education or life, there is no difference between treating those two children and my own children. Those two children were taught by her not only to be sensible, but also to be extremely polite.
She was worried that her somewhat introverted niece would be bullied by Yu Mingyuan's woman if she followed Li Xiu. Huang Qiong still believed that she was sincere and was not using her niece to blackmail her. But after all, this was related to Sister Xiu. How could I persuade a mother to choose one child and give up another?
After hesitating for a long time, he looked at the woman's expectant eyes. Huang Qiong sighed slightly: "The second thing, I can promise you now: "It's just that letting the child stay with you does make it a little difficult for me. Sister-in-law, I know that you have always treated these two children as your own. I can't bear to leave my two children, fearing that they will suffer in the past. "
"After all, Sister Xiu has become someone else's family, and she can't put her child first in everything. But Sister Xiu is the child's biological mother after all, and it is only natural that she takes her child to her side to take care of her. Sister-in-law, the same goes for you. As a mother, you should also understand the pain of separation of flesh and blood."
"Furthermore, you should also think about it. For the child, the mother remarried and took away the younger brother, but kept herself. This will also have a great impact on the child's future. Even though you want to keep it, this When the child grows up, will he resent his mother for being selfish? At that time, not only will the child suffer, but Sister Xiu will also suffer even more."
But at this point, Huang Qiong looked at Mrs. Liu, whose eyes were a little red, and knew that she really couldn't let go of these two children. Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Let's go and listen to the child's thoughts. If she wants to follow you, I'll go and talk to Sister Xiu. If the child insists on going with her mother, sister-in-law, I hope you'll let it go." Well, after all, that’s really what’s best for her.”
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. Seeing Mrs. Liu nodding, Huang Qiong did not hesitate, stood up and led her towards the inner house. When they arrived at Li Xiu's room in the inner house, Li Xiu was talking to the two children.
Although he has a cheerful temperament, he is a little more reserved because of the unfamiliarity of the eight-year-old boy. Li Xiu's six-year-old daughter seemed very silent in front of Li Xiu, her biological mother. No matter how Li Xiu tried to coax her, she just wouldn't call her mother. It wasn't until he saw Mrs. Liu who came in with Huang Qiong that the child had a smile on his face.
He rushed over to Mrs. Liu and held her hand tightly, refusing to let go. On the contrary, he looked strange and repulsive towards his mother, who had been separated for several years, and even looked slightly defensive. Obviously, the contact last night did not open up the heart of this somewhat introverted child.
Although he is a sensible child, he is still only a six-year-old child after all. When Li Xiu was forcibly taken away, she was different from her brother who already had some memories. The girl was still in her infancy back then and couldn't remember anything at all. Perhaps in her impression, her aunt, who had been taking care of her through all these years, was her real mother.
The biological mother in front of her was just a stranger to her. This scene fell in Huang Qiong's eyes, and he could only sigh silently in his heart. Li Xiu, who also saw this scene in his eyes, looked at his daughter's unfamiliar face, and her eye circles turned red.
Seeing that Li Xiu's eyes were red, Mrs. Liu sighed slightly. Holding the reluctant child's hand, he walked to Li Xiu and knelt down and said to the child: "Lian'er, have you forgotten what mother said to you before coming here? She is your biological mother, who is better than your aunt. You must love your biological mother. It wasn’t that she didn’t miss you or didn’t want you in the past.”
"It's just because she was also harmed by bad people that she can't always stay with Xiu and brother. Your mother has been waiting and looking forward to meeting you all these years. Those new clothes today are all your mother's. It was sewn for you stitch by stitch. Although she has not been with you these years, she loves you as much as my mother."
At Mrs. Liu's words, the child nodded sensibly. He turned his head, but when he looked at his biological mother, he still hesitated to step forward. Seeing the child, she was still a little hesitant. Mrs. Liu handed the child's little hand to Li Xiu's and said, "Lian'er, you are a good child. Don't make your mother sad, okay? Go give your mother a hug and say hello, mother." ?"
After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, the girl cautiously walked to Li Xiu's side and hesitated for a long time before calling her mother. But there was really no intimacy in this voice. It's just that although my mother shouted out, she still didn't let Li Xiu hug her. And after calling out "Mother" as usual, he quickly returned to Mrs. Liu's side.
A pair of small hands also tightly grasped the hem of Mrs. Liu's skirt. Seeing this scene, Huang Qiong understood why Mrs. Liu insisted on keeping this child. Such a mentality, even if she returns to Li Xiu, will not be able to be reversed in a short time. What's more, Li Xiu remarried. As Mrs. Liu said, it was impossible to put all her thoughts on this child.
Seeing the child's rejection of Li Xiu, Mrs. Liu hesitated and said: "Sister-in-law, the child does not deny you. It was just that we thought you were doing something wrong. Liu Hu and I were afraid that the child would know that we are not their biological fathers. Mom, it will bring some bad influence to them. So I never told them their true identity."
"The child is still young, so he can't turn around. You see, let Lian'er follow me for a few years, and you can take him back when he is older. At least let the child truly understand and accept it, okay? . I am really worried about Lian'er's current situation. Sister-in-law, she is your child, and it cannot be changed no matter where she is. "
Because it was originally rumored that Li Xiu had committed suicide, in order to prevent the two of them from having any emotions. So Mrs. Liu always asked her two children to call her mother. They were not told who their biological mother was. It wasn't until just before her arrival that she told the two children that she was actually just their aunt. The child is still young, so it is understandable that he cannot understand and accept it for a while.
Although this Mrs. Liu didn’t know that psychology existed more than a thousand years later, let alone what autism or depression was. But from what Mrs. Liu did and said, it can be seen that she attaches great importance to the psychology of her children. Just as she said, Li Xiu's daughter is obviously introverted and even a little repulsive to strangers.
