The old lady cast a strange look at Shen Yuerong, and there was some uneasiness in her voice.
"Why did you suddenly think of organizing these? Haven't they always been in the storage room? Are you looking for something?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head and sat on a chair beside her, her eyes full of fatigue.
"No, I was just bored and my mother asked me to come over... What's the matter?"
She raised her head, her eyes scanning.
"Oh, yes."
The old lady seemed to have thought of something suddenly?
She reached out and pulled the child over.
"Rong'er, although I made the decision alone, I really love this child too much. Look at this little face, this little body, these little hands. I really... It's not that your mother thinks you can't have children, it's just..."
"I think...she is somewhat similar to my husband."
Shen Yuerong raised her head and glanced between Fu Hengyu and the child.
Although she is a woman, one can see some of Fu Hengyu's humor in her eyes and eyebrows.
It was so obvious, why had she never noticed it before?
"What are you talking about?"
Fu Hengyu frowned, walked forward, and spoke in a bad tone.
"You said... you were bored taking care of the household affairs by yourself, so mother let Yue'er work with you out of kindness. You said you wanted a child but couldn't conceive, so I carefully selected someone with a clean background to join the mansion."
"But you are still finding fault with me? In your eyes... everything I do is wrong now?"
He had obviously lost the most basic gentlemanly manners, and even his expression did not conceal his disgust for him.
Are you planning to...completely fall out?
Shen Yuerong sighed, "My husband, why are you so anxious? I never said she was your daughter. I just thought we looked similar and were destined to be together."
He was about to speak, but the old lady grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Rong'er is right. I was thinking before... this girl does look a bit like Yu'er, and it can be considered a destiny for us, so I thought of making it happen. You see... why not make her your goddaughter and let her take care of you in the future."
"Agree to be my goddaughter?"
The old lady nodded. "This child has a tragic life. Now that he has entered the mansion, naturally..."
That’s a really good plan.
Although she is a goddaughter, she also occupies the position of the legitimate daughter of this marquis's mansion. She is both the legitimate daughter and the eldest daughter. Her future development... cannot be underestimated.
"If she is adopted as a goddaughter, she will be... the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. At that time, everything will be in accordance with the standards for the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. This..."
Shen Yuerong had a look of hesitation on her face.
"The body of a legitimate daughter... is extremely precious. If... it is inevitable that people outside will laugh at her. When her husband is away, her reputation will be ruined. Wouldn't that make Rong'er even more embarrassed?"
She pretended to be embarrassed, and looked like she wanted to go through with it but didn't dare to.
"How about this? I think this child is really pitiful, but I like her very much, so I let her come to my side and serve me as a personal maid. However, I will provide her with food, clothing and other expenses as a normal lady. How about that?"
"How can she be a maid?"
Du Wan's voice was somewhat anxious, and her sharp voice exploded in Shen Yuerong's ears.
Shen Yuerong looked at her in a daze, "Sister Du Wan... do you have any other ideas?"
Of course she didn't, "No...no."
Although he didn't say anything, his hands seemed to want to crush the person's arm into pulp.
She looked at Fu Hengyu anxiously and hinted frantically, "Talk to her!"
“That’s a little inappropriate.”
He mustered up the courage to stand in front of Shen Yuerong and looked at her in a flattering manner.
"After all, this child is still young, only four years old. She is at an age where she doesn't know anything. If she is made a servant, I'm afraid she will only... turn the house upside down."
What can a four-year-old understand?
How could he exist as a slave in the mansion?
Shen Yuerong laughed out loud when she heard this.
"So my husband also knows that she can't do anything now? Then how can she stand in the position of the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion? Anyway, if you want to keep her, she will be a slave and make a living in the mansion. If not, send her out early while it's still early."
Shen Yuerong patted the wheelchair frame, signaling the person behind her to take her away, but she heard the conversation between Du Wan and Fu Hengyue.
"She is indeed a piece of trash who can never be a mother in this life. She has no conscience at all to throw away such a cute child."
"Ms. Yue, please don't talk about me like that. Maybe... I've never given birth to a child, so of course I don't know... what a four-year-old child looks like?"
"I have never given birth, so I don't understand. Has Sister Du Wan ever given birth?"
Shen Yuerong raised her head and looked at the person, "Don't mention it, this child's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like you."
"How is that possible? She and I... have nothing to do with each other!"
Du Wan's expression, as if she wanted to push the person out, made Shen Yuerong feel a little amused.
Whether it was to bring her back or to please her, one could tell at a glance.
"It just so happens that the staff in the mansion are quite busy right now, and no one has been assigned to take care of sister Du Wan. If mother and father insist on keeping her, why not just give her to Du Wan directly."
Shen Yuerong had a smile on her face, looking very considerate, but the old lady could clearly see a bit of... indifference in those eyes.
"My daughter-in-law was not feeling well today, so I asked a doctor to see her. He specifically told her not to stay out in the wind for a long time, and then I went back first."
After saying this, Shen Yuerong did not give others a chance to turn around and let others push her away.
And at this moment...Du Wan's face...was ugly and dark.
"What do you mean? You asked me to bring my daughter here, but you want her to be a slave to Shen Yuerong in this wealthy family's compound?"
She didn't care about the person in front of her at all, and her tone was full of blame.
"Don't forget what you promised me. That's a piece of flesh that fell from my body after ten months of pregnancy. If you can't solve this problem, I will get rid of this child in your belly and make your general's mansion extinct."
Du Wan said this while reaching out and hitting her stomach.
This surprised the Fu family members present.
"No, this is absolutely not possible."
Madam Fu directly pulled her hand away and touched her belly very gently.
"You must not let my granddaughter get hurt. I will give you everything you want, but now...she is becoming more and more disobedient. However, I still have the final say in this mansion."
"Don't worry, since this child has been brought into the mansion, sooner or later, she will legitimately become the eldest daughter of my general's mansion and my grandson."
"Since I promised you, I will definitely do it.
The old lady's eyes were firm.
"It's just that I have to inconvenience you and your daughter for the time being!"
