Thinking of this, Xie Wanyu gritted her teeth with hatred, and felt no pain when her nails dug into her flesh under her sleeves.
Xue Xuening walked to Xie Wanyu and smiled gently: "I quite like this child."
Mrs. Xiao, who was in charge, said with a smile: "Since you have chosen this child, it's settled. When Jing'er comes back later..."
Xie Wanyu suddenly burst into laughter, "Grandma, eldest sister-in-law, when did I say I picked this child?"
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Jinmin also looked at her quickly, with a flash of nervousness and vague hatred in his eyes.
Xie Wanyu turned her head to look at Xue Xuening, "Since my eldest sister-in-law loves this child, why not adopt him into your lap? Firstly, I can have a child to comfort me, and secondly, I can inherit my uncle's legacy. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"Nonsense, I'm going to adopt you today, what are you doing with your eldest sister-in-law?"
Before Xue Xuening could say anything, the old lady said displeasedly.
Xie Wanyu laughed, "Grandma, don't worry, I just saw that the eldest sister-in-law rarely likes this child, so I suggest that if you and the eldest sister-in-law are not willing, I will accept the child. It will only be more than a bowl of rice."
He said this in a dismissive manner, as if Xiao Jinmin was a dispensable object, and he was obviously not interested in him.
Xue Xuening's smile did not diminish, but there was an almost imperceptible cold look in her eyes.
Madam Xiao didn't like what she heard. After all, Xiao Jinmin was her real great-grandson.
Xie Wanyu didn't wait for the two of them to say anything, then pointed to the other children and said: "These children are lonely and helpless. No matter how much the family usually takes care of them, they may not be able to take good care of them. Now there is only one heir in the family, Mingxuan. Bringing these children into the mansion will also make the mansion more lively."
Turning around, he said to Mrs. Shen: "If there are still children in the clan who are unable to survive, Auntie can also select some with good character and send them over. The Hou family has a big business and can afford to support a few people."
The old lady's face twitched slightly, she suppressed her anger and nodded at her with a smile, "If you feel that the people in the house are thin, then give birth to a few more by yourself, and I will raise as many wives as you want."
Xie Wanyu covered her lips and smiled, "Who doesn't know that the Marquis missed my sister and left me, my stepwife, to sleep in the study on the wedding night, and never set foot in my yard again? If I could be happy, the house would be turned upside down. .”
With these words, the room became silent.
Shen was so embarrassed that she wanted to cover her ears, while Xue Xuening lowered her eyes, showing no emotion.
Mrs. Xiao was embarrassed and annoyed, and scolded: "The children are here, what are you talking about?"
"Okay, you can raise as many as you want! Just one thing, after brother Min is adopted into your name, you have to treat him as your own!"
As long as the others don't fit into the family tree, Xie Wanyu can raise as many as she wants.
Xie Wanyu said slowly and calmly: "My granddaughter-in-law thinks that the adoption matter needs to be postponed for a while. After all, the adoption is in my name, and I will be the legitimate son of the Hou family in the future. Everything I do represents the face of the Hou family, so I have to be cautious in choosing this candidate." The reason why grandson-in-law proposed to bring all these children into the house was because she wanted to observe them carefully before deciding which one would be the best to adopt."
She glanced at Xiao Jinmin, who could hardly hold back his innocent expression, "Besides, I think this kid has some deep thoughts, and I'm afraid he will raise a supercilious wolf in the future."
Mrs. Xiao's expression changed, and Xue Xuening frowned and said, "Brother and sister, what you said is inappropriate, how could you..."
"Sister-in-law, you are so protective of this child, why don't you just adopt him! I think you two look like mother and son!"
Xie Wanyu's words immediately stopped Xue Xuening.
Mrs. Xiao pressed her forehead with a headache. Knowing that if she continued talking, she might arouse Xie Wanyu's suspicion, she could only wave her hand and said: "That's all, you can figure out how to arrange it yourself!"
Now we can only wait for Xiao Jing to return home before letting him talk to Xie Wanyu.
"Yes, grandson-in-law will definitely think carefully and choose the most suitable legitimate son of the Hou family." Xie Wanyu said with a slight smile.
Qi Ranyuan.
"Madam, is it possible that you want to adopt all these children into your name?" When Xie Wanyu went out and brought back a bunch of children, the nanny He was startled and asked repeatedly.
Xie Wanyu was noncommittal, "What do you want to say?"
"You already work very hard running the Hou Mansion. If you add these children, I'm afraid it will be even more tiring." Aunt He looked distressed.
Xie Wanyu felt warm in her heart and smiled, "Don't worry, mama, I have my own plan."
In her previous life, she married Xiao Jing at the age of fifteen and died of poisoning before she was thirty. For more than ten years, she devoted herself to serving her elders, raising a pair of children who were not her own, raising most of her fortune to maintain the prosperity of the prince's mansion, and giving everything she could, but all she got in exchange was deliberate deception and betrayal!
In this life, she will never be so stupid again!
And the revenge she had no chance to avenge in her previous life, she will definitely get back in this life!
Walking outside the flower hall, she looked in through the partially closed window.
The flower hall was very quiet. The other children were sitting stiffly, not daring to move. They only looked around curiously with one pair of eyes.
Xiao Jinmin was sitting alone in the corner, as if he was isolated from others, his small body huddled in the large chair, looking particularly pitiful. But from an angle that no one could see, his young face looked uncertain.
Obviously his father and mother had said that that woman would definitely adopt him, but why did it become like this now? He is obviously a genuine young master of the Hou family, but why should he compete with a group of untouchables that no one wants?
It's all his fault for the woman who usurped her mother's position. When he takes over the Hou Mansion in the future, he will definitely make that woman regret it!
Xie Wanyu clearly saw the viciousness on his face, her eyes dim.
In her previous life, why was she so blind and blind that she mistook the ungrateful wolf cub for a well-behaved little sheep?
Xie Wanyu lowered her eyes and said sarcastically: "Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Jing is affectionate and righteous. Except for his deceased wife, it is difficult for any other woman to enter his eyes or his heart. This shows that everyone in the world is blind!"
A man who can have an affair with his eldest sister-in-law, and can also think of adopting an adulterous son to his legitimate wife, really insults the four words of love and justice!
"Madam?" Nanny He didn't understand what she meant.
Xie Wanyu waved her hand without explaining, and said calmly: "Mammy, find a reason to deal with Lan Qin."
Aunt He's face was stern, "Is that girl wrong?"
"I can't afford anyone who has second thoughts."
It wasn't until she died in her previous life that she learned that Lan Qin had been bribed by Xue Xuening and given her a killer drug and a chronic strange poison, making her destined not to live past thirty.
Later, Lan Qin followed Xiao Jinmin's instructions and falsely accused her of having an affair in public, and personally found a bunch of fictitious letterheads and tokens from her room, which became evidence of her having an affair with a foreign man and being unchaste. She was completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
Aunt He's eyes sharpened, "Yes, I don't have to worry about it, old slave."
"In addition, Nanny asked someone to quietly inquire about where there is a doctor who is good at treating strange poisons."
According to what Xiao Jinmin said in her previous life, the strange poison in her body could only live until thirty at most. Fortunately, she was still far from thirty now, so she still had time to find an antidote.
However, Xue Xuening was in the first grade of junior high school, so it was her turn to be in the fifteenth grade!
