Chapter 409 People are keen on creating gods

When the people heard this, their expressions instantly became indescribable.

Not only them, Song Yanxi herself was also confused.

When did she say she wanted to take in... take in three children?

Li Cheng is a descendant of the Bai family. Naturally, he wants to trace his roots when he comes to Beijing. Li Zhi, whose biological parents have been kind to the Bai family, will also have a proper home.

Another thing is, she was taking the child in, so how did it become adoption when it came to Zhuang Shihan?

How could she, an unmarried girl, want such a grown-up son?

If this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off.

Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale with anger. Just as she was about to retort, she heard a powerful voice from the crowd shouting, "Stop talking nonsense! The princess is kind-hearted, so how could she be unwilling? Not to mention one child, even if it was ten, she would definitely adopt them."

She won't!

Without waiting for Zhuang Shihan to speak, Butcher Zheng continued, "When I was struck by the epidemic before the New Year, I thought I was going to die. The princess comforted me and told me to rest and recuperate. Even if something bad happened, my two children would have no worries about where to go."

He questioned the people around him, "Hasn't the princess ever told you something like this?"

"Look at your consciences. You are so heartless. It's a shame that the princess tried so hard to save you. It would have been better if you had died of illness."

After being scolded by him, the people felt that their thoughts just now were too bad. How could they think so about Princess Shihan!

She is so kind and has been saving lives and helping the wounded in the border town over the past few years. How could she ignore a homeless child?

Listening to everyone's chatter, Zhuang Shihan tried to explain, "The journey to Beijing is long and steep, and I'm worried the child is too weak to handle the bumpy ride."

Goudan blurted out: "I'm not afraid!"

Zhuang Shihan's mouth twitched, and she continued, "I'm used to practicing medicine everywhere, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to bring it with me..."

Doctor Liu snorted coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm as he said, "If the princess doesn't want to bring this burden along, just say so directly. Why bother making so many excuses?"

Butcher Zheng's eyes widened, and he angrily said, "Old Liu, what you said is too harsh. The princess wouldn't even step on an ant to death, so how could she not care about the life or death of this child?"

He looked at Zhuang Shihan with a stern gaze and said, "Princess, please tell Old Liu quickly. We can't let everyone misunderstand you for no reason!"

The people around also urged him on, their shouts getting louder and louder.

In the end, the slogan neatly became "Shihan County Doctrine Bo Yuntian".

Listening to the deafening slogans, Zhuang Shihan felt nauseous and wanted to rush up and slap Zheng the Butcher who was trying to stir up the atmosphere.

If she had known this would happen, she should not have saved him, let alone talk about and establish the image of a kind and kind medical genius.

Now it's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off.

Feeling that Zhuang Shihan was unwilling to have him, Goudan's eyes rolled around and he immediately cried out in a hoarse voice, "Princess, please keep me. I can do anything.

I can carry your medicine box, pour you footbath water, give you…"

"Enough!" Zhuang Shihan scolded in a low voice, fearing that if he continued, she would not be able to help but kick him away.

What can she expect from him in the future when he is an ungrateful guy who doesn't even feel sad when his own grandfather is dying?

Seeing that Zhuang Shihan refused to let go, someone hurriedly advised: "This child looks smart, and it's rare that he gets along well with the princess. The princess will be able to have another son by raising him by her side."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan's face suddenly turned even darker.

She hasn't even gotten married yet, why does she want a son?

But the current situation does not allow her to have the final say.

Seeing that she showed no intention of giving in, some of the onlookers couldn't help but smell something.

Princess Shihan keeps pushing it back and forth, it's obvious that she doesn't want the other person anymore!

Someone couldn't help but say, "The Duke of Jingguo's family is wealthy and powerful, and she's a princess herself, so what's wrong with having one more child?"

"As expected, polite words are just polite words. Luckily, we managed to survive this time. If we had passed away like this child's parents, who knows how the child would survive."

"It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Why is it so difficult?"

"Alright, all of you, stop talking. Maybe Princess Shihan really has some concerns."

As the voices speaking in her favor grew smaller and smaller, the looks people gave Zhuang Shihan gradually became strange.

People are keen on creating gods, and at the same time, they also look forward to the fall of gods.

This was how Mo Jinchuan used to be.

The same is true for Zhuang Shihan today.

Especially since this unfair world has always been full of malice towards women, those who claim to be judges of justice are just waiting for her to make a mistake, and then they will rush over and expose her "true face".

No, she had worked so hard for so long for the so-called reputation, and this month she had been working like a slave for the people in the city.

I get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs every day. I drink the same hard-to-swallow brown rice porridge as them for three meals a day, and I look several years older.

She would never allow all her hard work over the past few days to be destroyed in an instant.

Isn’t it just a naughty kid? She will raise him!

It’s just a bowl of rice, her Duke’s Mansion can afford it.

Zhuang Shihan smiled faintly and gently touched Goudan's head, saying comfortingly, "Don't cry, I'll take you home."

Goudan stopped crying immediately, wiped his tears hurriedly, and hugged her legs again.

Seeing his hands full of tears and snot rubbing against her favorite dress, Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale and she almost fainted from anger.

This is floating brocade worth a hundred taels.

This little bastard!

She would kill him sooner or later.

Sensing the cold light in her eyes, Goudan shrank his neck and timidly called out, "Sister..."

Doctor Liu interrupted, "Look at you, kid. You're so happy you're silly. How can you call her sister? Call her stepmother."

Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly changed, and she blurted out, "No way!"

She is not married yet and has not even turned 20 yet, so how could she have such a son?

Not to mention that this naughty kid is full of bad intentions and is not a good person at heart. If she really recognizes him, she will probably be in endless trouble in the future.

Before Zhuang Shihan could speak again, the curtain of the carriage next to her was suddenly lifted, revealing the smiling face of Eunuch De.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, I..."

Eunuch De interrupted her and said with a smile on his face, "The princess has a son today, and we are here to congratulate her.

When we return to the capital, the princess will host a family recognition banquet at the Duke's Mansion, and she must treat us to a glass of light wine."

Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale, and she moved her lips to defend herself, "Father-in-law, you misunderstood me. I have no intention of adopting a son, let alone this child..."

Eunuch De's smile faded a little, and when he met her somewhat annoyed eyes, he said quietly, "Princess, please be careful with your words. The people of this city are watching you.

Although the princess is not of royal blood, she was personally appointed by His Majesty, and her every word and action represents His Majesty's dignity."
