Anyway, this is a high-stakes gamble. If you lose, you can at most spend your points to buy a portal to the next world. If you win, you'll have made a fortune.
Of course, the Yu family was unaware of all this.
The conversation between the two heads of the Yu family continued.
Yu Chongshan said, "So the child's thoughts are the most important thing now. As long as she doesn't want to, no one dares to force her to do anything."
He looked at his wife and said, "Therefore, Madam, you must give the eldest son a good instruction. Whether it is for the sake of the Yu family or for her own children, winning over that child is more important than anything else."
Sincerity begets sincerity. Look, you only cared for her a little more than her parents, and this is the reward you've received.
Madam Yu smiled and said, "That's right, he's an honest child. I'll tell my eldest daughter-in-law not to play tricks on him, and if that doesn't work, I'll take him under my wing myself."
She believed that her eldest daughter-in-law was a smart woman and wouldn't go so far as to have her, an old woman, personally raise her granddaughter.
Just as the old lady had thought, the eldest son was indeed overjoyed that Yue Fuguang had been adopted by them.
"Grandpa, are your parents really going to adopt Fuguang into our family?"
Madam Zhang was a little dizzy from the huge windfall her husband had given her as soon as he returned home; she could hardly believe such a good thing could happen.
“How could Father’s words in front of His Majesty and his colleagues be false?” Unlike his third brother, Uncle Yu was now riding high.
Even after the effects of the alcohol wore off, his face was still flushed, as if he were quite drunk, and he felt a little lightheaded.
However, he wouldn't admit that he was getting a little carried away by happiness; he would only think it was the effect of the health-enhancing pill given to him by his 'good daughter'.
Yes, after his father said he wanted to adopt Yue Fuguang, in Uncle Yu's heart, Yue Fuguang was already their daughter.
"Is Third Brother willing to give her up? Although Third Sister-in-law doesn't like Fu Guang, now that she knows her identity, she won't let go for the sake of her son and Sixth Sister, will she?"
She never thought much of her third sister-in-law. She didn't care about her own daughter, but she loved her daughter's child and harmed her. She didn't know before, so it was understandable, but she still acted that way after she found out. She's a bit stupid.
Even if you've raised a child for many years and developed a bond with them, you can't let a child who was maliciously exchanged surpass your own biological child.
When the topic turned to his third sister-in-law, Grandpa Yu's expression turned cold. He said, "It's no use for them to object to what Father has decided."
He then instructed his wife with concern, "I don't expect you to treat that child the same way you would treat your own children."
But what our sons have, that child can't be missing either. I promised Father that, otherwise she'll have to be sent to the second wife's house.
Yue Fuguang was his niece, and the two were blood relatives, so he naturally treated her like his own daughter. However, Zhang Shi and she had no blood ties, and he was afraid that she would neglect the child, so it would be better not to adopt her into his household.
Zhang glanced at her husband with a hint of reproach, "Master, you know me well. I've always wanted a delicate and sweet daughter."
Now that my parents have adopted me, I am their biological child, just like Fuguang and Dalang.
"That's good, that's good. With your words, my wife, I can rest assured. Although that child has such a background, he is an honest person."
As long as we treat her sincerely, and put aside everything else, with her keeping things in order, our family can live peacefully for the next three generations.
Our son's career will be much more stable, and even for our grandson's generation, with an aunt like this around, no one will dare to mess with them.
Madam Zhang smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I will send someone to the academy tomorrow to call the three brothers back. This is a great occasion for our eldest son's family, how could they, as the elder brothers, not be present?"
Master Yu praised, "Madam is so thoughtful. You should explain things clearly to those brats in the letter, so they don't overhear when they get home and let the secret slip."
Although most people can't hear their true feelings today, Master Yu is confident that his three sons can.
Even if they can't hear it, it's okay. Let them know that their younger sister is different so that they can get along well in the future and avoid conflicts.
The heartfelt words heard at the ancestral banquet today have not only been discussed within the Yu family, but all the families who heard them have also privately sighed about them behind closed doors.
Although the emperor had issued a gag order forbidding the dissemination or discussion of this matter, those who heard it could still say a few words behind closed doors.
At the home of Hanlin Academician Wu Tianyu, Madam Wu said, "Judging from what you've said, it seems the Yu family's eldest branch is about to rise to prominence!"
Lord Wu agreed with his wife's words, saying, "With the Junior Tutor around, their family can at least live a peaceful life for several decades."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Lord Yu Zhongchun is truly blessed! A daughter sent from heaven. As long as his family doesn't commit a grave mistake like rebellion, no one dares to touch them."
Even the Crown Prince today seems to value the Yu family highly.
"I have a good relationship with the First Madam, so I should go and congratulate her properly." As he spoke, he began to think about a suitable gift for the little girl.
Lord Wu smiled and said, "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband. With my wife around, I can rest assured."
Yu Laosan, Yu Qinchun, lost his hard-earned wealth precisely because he married such a woman.
Many others share his views.
While discussing the Yu family's affairs, they also took the opportunity to inquire about the affairs of Zhou Fushan, the Marquis of Changqing.
In particular, we'll find out tomorrow whether Zhou Qi'an, the eldest son of the Zhou family who is hailed as a prodigy, is as amazing as the young master says.
The next day's court meeting
After going through the whole process and finishing discussing all the other matters that needed to be discussed between the emperor and his ministers, Wei Ping, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, took a deep breath. He knew that it was time for him to put on a show... it was time to perform.
He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present."
Emperor Mingxi thought to himself, "It's finally here." Although he already knew some of the information this morning, he hadn't had time to check the subsequent verification.
So he asked, "What is it that Minister Wei has reported?"
Wei Ping said, “Your Majesty, I request a thorough investigation of Marquis Changqing, Zhou Fushan. Recently, our Dali intelligence team has discovered that a group of Northern Li spies are frequently active within our Dayan territory.”
One of the bandit leaders was named Xu Changyue. He was very close to Marquis Changqing, Zhou Fushan, and even his current wife was once Xu Changyue's concubine.
hiss!
hiss!
hiss!
Upon hearing Wei Ping's words, the officials, unaware of the situation, hissed in unison. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the court was a den of snakes!
Zhou Fushan immediately began to cry out his innocence, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the Great Yan Dynasty, and I have no disloyal intentions whatsoever. Please, Your Majesty, see the truth!"
When Zhou Fushan heard Wei Ping say this, his face turned pale with fright. If this was related to foreign spies, how could his Changqing Marquis's mansion possibly have a good ending?
He does know a man named Xu Changyue, and they have known each other for more than ten years. But isn't his wife Xu Changyue's distant cousin?
Because of his wife's connection, he was also very close to Xu Changyue, who provided him with a lot of convenience in his business.
