Jiang Wanqing bowed slightly towards the old lady.

"Mother called my daughter-in-law here, is there anything you want to tell me?"

The old lady turned her head and looked at Jiang Wanqing with her sharp eyes.

Then he looked at the baby in Jiang Wanqing's arms and frowned.

He sighed and slowly said, "You are already out of confinement, so it's time to get busy with business. How can you sit around a little girl and do nothing every day?"

Jiang Wanqing took Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and lowered her eyes.

Ever since she married into the Zhou family, she has been working hard. Even when she was pregnant, she was still working hard with a big belly.

Even when she was in confinement after childbirth, she still had to be asked about all the matters in the mansion, big or small.

It had only been a short time since she came out of confinement, and without asking about her physical recovery, her first words were that she had nothing to do.

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but feel that her mother-in-law was a little too harsh.

She suppressed her displeasure and explained, "In response to mother's words, I was thinking that my husband is gone now and Xiaoxiao is the only child he left me. I just wanted to spend more time with the child, which would be a comfort. I didn't want this matter to alarm mother."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was yawning in Jiang Wanqing's arms.

Babies are indeed sleepy.

The old lady did not reply, but walked towards the courtyard outside the house.

Jiang Wanqing was puzzled and looked at Nanny Su, but followed.

The old lady came to the hall and sat on a chair.

Jiang Wanqing was holding Zhou Xiaoxiao and standing in front of the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Jiang Wanqing calmly and said, "I know it's very hard for you to manage the huge Xingchang Marquis Mansion by yourself. But our house is the Xingchang Marquis Mansion after all, and your every move is being watched by someone!"

Jiang Wanqing hesitated for a moment, "What does mother want to say to me?"

The old lady glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "I have decided. The Xingchang Marquisate cannot be without a man. I will adopt a boy from the Zhou family's side branch. Don't waste your time on your daughters. If you have nothing to do, you can take care of the marriages of Zi Gu's two sisters!"

Adopt a child!

Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was originally dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and became alert.

Those big round eyes blinked.

[Humph! My beautiful mother, just look at me. I told you that this bad grandfather wanted you to adopt his child.]

After hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Jiang Wanqing paused. Xiaoxiao really guessed it right.

Jiang Wanqing also began to believe Zhou Xiaoxiao's words more and more.

No matter what, Xiaoxiao is her own biological daughter.

This reminded me of what Zhou Xiaoxiao had said before, that he and Xiaoxiao had died tragically in their previous life.

Jiang Wanqing's heart couldn't help but turn cold.

No matter what happened in the previous life.

No one in this life will ever hurt her daughter!

"Someone come here!" Old Madam Gu said.

After a while, the maid outside came in with a boy about four years old.

The old lady, who was originally quite serious, suddenly smiled when she saw the boy.

She waved at the boy and said, "Mu Sheng, come to grandma."

Zhou Musheng slowly walked to the old lady and kowtowed to her obediently, "Hello, grandma. Musheng greets you."

[You damned ungrateful little ungrateful bastard! Humph! Your beautiful mother treated you so well, she found you the best teacher and bought you the most expensive four treasures of the study, but after you became the top scholar, you ignored her kindness in bringing you up and ignored your mother's death!]

Seeing Zhou Musheng appear, Zhou Xiaoxiao waved his fist angrily. He looked extremely angry, but also really cute.

Jiang Wanqing listened to Zhou Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts and looked at the obedient Zhou Musheng in front of her. She really couldn't associate the obedient child in front of her with the kind of person Zhou Xiaoxiao described.

The old lady put her arm around Zhou Musheng and looked up at Jiang Wanqing: "This is the child I chose for you from the Zhou family. You should adopt him as your legitimate son. In the future, the responsibility of the Xingchang Marquisate will still be given to him."

Jiang Wanqing's eyelids jumped: "Mother, is this decision too abrupt? Do we need to carefully select the heir to the Xingchang Marquisate?"

Being a legitimate son means that he will inherit the glory of the Xingchang Marquisate in the future.

[Stupid mother! This Zhou Musheng is Zhou Zigu's biological son! The bad grandfather is of course happy to hand over the Xingchang Marquisate to his eldest grandson! What's more, the bad brother will be the top scholar in the future. ]

biological son?

Jiang Wanqing raised her head instantly, her eyes fixed on Zhou Musheng. For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions and her expression became a little tense.

how could be…

I got married to Zhou Zigu more than a year ago, and Zhou Zigu has been dead for more than a year, but this child looks only four or five years old...

In the old lady's opinion, Jiang Wanqing's expression showed that she disagreed with this matter.

At that moment, the old lady snorted coldly.

He glanced at Jiang Wanqing indifferently: "You have been married into the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion for more than a year. It is naturally impossible to have no men in the mansion. I will adopt Zhou Musheng under your name. This is to inform you, and you have no choice but to agree."

Jiang Wanqing looked slightly displeased, but she kept it to herself.

She is the seventh daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, so it is okay for her to serve her mother-in-law humbly on weekdays.

If Zhou Musheng was really Zhou Zigu's biological son, and he hid it from her and asked her to raise his concubine's son, that would be a bit too much!

The engagement between her and Zhou Zigu was arranged by the old marquis and her father.

It can't be said that the feelings are deep.

Before she was nine years old, she lived in a border town. After she was nine years old, she was taken to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

However, as the seventh daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, I would never allow anyone to bully me like this!

[The bad grandfather wanted to have some free time. He left his bad brother to his mother to raise, and he hid in the Buddhist temple every day to whisper with the grandfather! ]

[The bad grandfather is lazy, and the bad father only wants to hide in the farm in the south of the city with the bad woman and live a happy life with the bad woman, but he left the bad brother to be raised by his mother. It's too much! ]

[My dear mother, you can't raise a bad brother. This scumbag father and bad brother will kill you in the future! ]

Zhou Xiaoxiao waved her hands, very excited.

A pair of round little eyes stared at Jiang Wanqing closely.

[Damn it! Why am I a child? Why can't I talk to my mother?]

Wuuuu, mother, you can't be fooled by these evil people.

Otherwise, according to what happened in her previous life, she and her mother would not have had a good ending after the Duke of Zhenguo's uncles got into trouble.

Zhou Xiaoxiao's thoughts, like thunderclaps, fell into Jiang Wanqing's ears.

She looked at the old lady in disbelief.

The old lady and the old grandfather in the Buddhist temple? ?

This…

This... the old marquis has been dead for many years, where did this old grandfather come from...

Ever since the old marquis passed away, the old lady has been concentrating on worshiping Buddha.

Where did this old man start?

Jiang Wanqing seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.
