"Why him?" Mrs. Chen was very confused. "Aunt Wei is just like a transparent person in the backyard. Neither she nor her son is favored. It's much easier than those coquettish and coquettish hooves who compete for favor. They don't bother them at all." For me and my son, adopting her son is not as good as adopting the sons of other favored concubines, and we can also give them a severe blow..."
Aunt Zheng used her sharp tongue to brainwash Mrs. Chen: "Oh, madam, how can it be so simple? You are retreating in order to advance. Think about it, your proposal to adopt the third young master will be very harmful to you and the two of you." He is a bastard who poses no threat to the young master, instead of being the son of favored concubines. Doesn’t this show that you are magnanimous and have no intention of deliberately targeting those favored concubines? Master knows that you are so selfless, wouldn’t he value you more? ?
Moreover, Aunt Wei and the third young master are not favored. Doesn't this mean that the master does not like them, mother and son? Think about it, if you have to adopt a son, in your heart, would you rather adopt a son that you like and dote on, or a son that you have no feelings for and don't like? "
Aunt Zheng is worthy of being someone who can be valued by Mrs. Chen for decades. Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, Mrs. Chen immediately became enlightened and blurted out: "Of course I am adopting a son I don't like! "
"Isn't that right?" said Aunt Zheng. "You suggested to me that you adopt the third young master, wouldn't it just suit my needs? On the contrary, if you proposed to adopt other sons that I like, wouldn't I think that you Can't you accommodate them? So it is most appropriate to propose adopting the third young master."
"Thank you, Aunt Zheng, for reminding me. Then I will propose to the master to adopt Aunt Wei's son. Who makes mother and son unhappy? You can't blame me..." Mrs. Chen decided to push Zhao Lue over. go out.
As for Zhao Yiran's other concubines, similar conversations also took place between those concubines and their closest servants. In a short period of time, Zhao Lue was pushed out by Zhao Yiran and other concubines as the one who was going to be adopted. To the unlucky old man Zhao from the side branch.
Originally, when Zhao Yiran was proposed by his wife Chen to adopt Zhao Lue, he wanted to give it more consideration and was not in a hurry to make a decision. However, when he went to the other concubines, he was blown by the pillow wind softly by the concubines, making it clear that Hinting to him that Zhao Lue was the most suitable candidate for adoption, Zhao Yiran was unknowingly persuaded by their proposal. He actually felt that adopting his least favorite son was a good choice for everyone. So he didn't want to find other children from other branches to give to Mrs. Zhao, so he decided to adopt Zhao Lue out.
Now that he had made the decision, Zhao Yiran began to make arrangements.
However, if he wanted to adopt Zhao Lue, he had to tell his biological mother Wei Niang, so Zhao Yiran sent someone to ask Wei Shichu to take Zhao Lue to the study to see him.
Wei Shichu knew the content of this meeting and had been looking forward to it for a long time, so he took Zhao Lue with him and walked briskly to Zhao Yiran's study.
When the servant sent by Zhao Yiran saw the joyful smile on Wei Shichu's face, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He thought, if Aunt Wei knew that the master met her to tell her that she would adopt her only son to someone else's home, then she would Surely it’s impossible to be so happy, right? It's really pitiful. She probably thought that the master finally remembered their mother and son, but she didn't know that he was going to announce bad news to them...
Wei Shichu didn't know that she and her son had been reduced to being pitied by a servant. She was happy that she and her son would soon leave this oppressive and dark place.
"Mom, where are we going?" Zhao Lue asked Wei Shichu with his big black and white eyes open, looking around curiously and excitedly.
"Go to your father's study." Wei Shichu replied.
"Dad?" Zhao Lue's eyes were slightly confused for a while, as if he needed to think for a while before he could remember what "dad" was.
Poor little guy, because neither mother nor son is liked by Zhao Yiran, even at the age of two, he can count the number of times he has seen his father Zhao Yiran. No wonder he has no impression of his father.
"Oh, he's just a stranger, you don't need to pay too much attention." Wei Shichu lowered his voice and said in Zhao Lue's ear.
"Okay..." So Zhao Lue immediately obediently forgot about his father and looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest. It was obvious that he was more interested in the novel scenes around him than the father, and he pointed out from time to time. He asked Wei Shichu about something he didn't recognize.
Zhao Yiran's study arrived soon. The servants led the mother and son into the study and then left.
"Here?" A deep and cold middle-aged man's voice came from behind the table.
Wei Shichu met Zhao Yiran for the first time two months after traveling back in time. He was quite talented. Even though he was middle-aged, he was handsome and elegant. His figure was not out of shape. He only had faint lines between his eyes and eyebrows. He is not young anymore.
However, Wei Shichu, who had the memory of the original owner, knew that this person only looked gentle and amiable on the outside, but in fact he was sanctimonious, selfish and hypocritical.
Zhao Yiran was a little surprised when he saw Wei Shichu, because in his memory, this concubine Wei always lowered her head and was submissive, timid and withdrawn, could not even speak a complete sentence, and panicked when she saw him, let alone like other attendants. If my concubine is so gentle and lively or clever, he will like her, so he has never liked her. Accepting her as his aunt was forced by the current situation and was not something he liked, so he disliked her even more.
But now, Wei Shichu has not only lost her previous timidity, but has become more energetic. Even her face has changed from pale before to rosy today. It is obvious that she is now in both mental and physical condition. , are much better than before, which made Zhao Yiran feel bright after not seeing her for a long time.
Wei Shichu immediately felt the change in the way Zhao Yiran looked at her, and immediately became wary, thinking that if she regained the interest of this bitch man, it would be very detrimental to her leaving, so she immediately acted according to the temperament and behavior of the original owner, and started to As soon as he lowered his head, his face turned pale, and he stammered in a panic and saluted Zhao Yiran: "Here, say hello to the master..."
Sure enough, when Zhao Yiran saw her submissive and timid appearance, he frowned and felt that he had just seen it wrong. People said that nature is hard to change. How could the Wei family change so much? Isn’t it time to show your true nature? Still just as timid and unlovable.
So Zhao Yiran's new interest in her disappeared immediately, and he turned to Wei Shichu with a cold face: "Ms. Wei, I came to you, mother and son, this time because I have something important to tell you."
"S-Sir, please tell me..." Wei Shichu said hurriedly.
