Chapter 159 Stepmother
"No."
“Yes!”
Xixi angrily struggled to get off Jisheng's body, glared at her father and said, "I will!"
"Zaohua's mother died giving birth to her brother!"
"I don't want a brother, I only want my mother!"
"But they are already in your mother's belly." Ji Sheng explained to his daughter.
"Who let them in? What a bad guy!" Xixi's face turned red with anger.
The culprit Ji Sheng: "..."
"Do you like your younger brother too? Zaohua's father only likes his younger brother!" Xixi looked at Ji Sheng with red eyes.
"If you like your brother but not me, then I won't like Daddy either."
Ji Sheng held Xixi, who was about to cry, in his arms and said, "No, you are Daddy's first child, Daddy likes you more."
"Really?"
"Um."
"Is Xixi also the favorite?" Xixi looked up at her father with her big red eyes blinking.
Ji Sheng shook his head. Seeing Xixi about to cry in anger, he explained, "I should love your mother the most."
Xixi wiped away her tears and nodded, "I love mother the most, too."
A little more than daddy.
"But Zaohua's father doesn't like Zaohua's mother. Zaohua will soon have a stepmother."
Not only Zaohua, He Zizhen will also have a stepmother.
He Zizhen's stepmother doesn't like him and wants him dead. Does Zaohua's stepmother also want her dead?
From this perspective, the stepmother doesn't seem to be a good person.
Fortunately, Daddy said she wouldn't have a stepmother.
Ji Sheng hugged Xixi and explained, "We are different from them."
Xixi looked at her father in confusion.
"My master is Lord Kang. Do you remember Grandpa Kang?"
Xixi nodded her little head. Her father had taken her to see him once. He was the father of Uncle Kang, who had poor eyesight.
"Master said that young couples are companions in old age, and the only one who can always be by your side is your wife."
Ji Sheng held his daughter in his arms, looked at the gurgling river in front of him, and slowly explained to her.
"People often talk about couples who are the closest or the most distant. Before I met Master and his wife, I was used to seeing couples who were the most distant, but never the closest. After meeting Master and his wife, I realized that couples can be like this."
"Support each other, rely on each other, and accompany each other."
He had been alone for too long, so after seeing how his master and his wife got along, he began to have fantasies about his wife for the first time.
"I carefully chose your mother for myself. I will not let any other woman replace her, and no one can replace her."
Xixi nodded, "Of course mother is irreplaceable."
"But mother wants to give birth to a younger brother."
"Your mother gave birth to you smoothly."
Xixi looked at her father and said nothing.
Ji Sheng sighed, "But just in case, I hope your mother can leave with me. I will arrange for the best imperial physician..."
"But Daddy." Xixi looked at Ji Sheng and said, "Grandma said that Grandpa Xue and Grandma Wang are the best doctors."
"Daddy, why can't you stay?"
…
The sun sets in the west and it is getting darker.
Just when Zhou Yunshu lost her patience and wanted to ask Zhan Chuan and the others to go out to look for someone, Ji Sheng came in from outside holding Xixi and carrying some fresh fruits that he had bought from somewhere.
"Mother!"
Ji Sheng put Xixi down from his arms. Xixi ran towards Zhou Yunshu with the big dates that she could just hold in her hand and handed the bright red dates to her.
"Eat it, Mom, it's so sweet!"
Zhou Yunshu took the red dates and said to Xixi with a smile, "Okay."
"Take your dad to wash up, we should have dinner."
"good!"
Originally, the Zhou family was going to have dinner together, but because of Ji Sheng's arrival, Li Jialan, Wu Yue and the others explained to Ji Mingzhu and then ate together in the side room.
There were only five chairs at the dining table in the main room.
When Ji Sheng brought Xixi in, Ji Mingzhu was flanked by Zhou Yunzhi and Zhou Yunshu.
Xixi originally wanted to sit next to her mother, but before her short legs could move forward, she watched her father sit in her seat and then pick her up and put her next to him.
Xixi looked at her father in disbelief. That was her position!
"I have a boat tomorrow morning."
After Ji Sheng finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at him.
"It's too early. Xixi is too young to get up, and Yunshu needs to sleep more because she is pregnant, so I was wondering if I could stay here for one night?" Ji Sheng looked at Ji Mingzhu and asked.
Zhou Yunshu blinked.
Ji Sheng just went out for a trip, why did he change his mind when he came back?
"Okay." Ji Mingzhu nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandmother." Ji Sheng glanced at Zhou Yunshu and continued, "I bought some supplements for you, Yunshu, and Big Brother. They will probably be delivered in the next few days."
"Imperial Doctor Xue said Yunshu's due date is April of next year. Although Nanny Wang specializes in women's illnesses, to be on the safe side, I will send two clean and experienced midwives over as soon as possible."
"Okay." Ji Mingzhu kept smiling.
"Thank you, Grandma and Big Brother, for taking care of Yunshu and her daughter. If there's anything I can do for you, please write to me."
Zhou Yunzhi frowned and was about to say something, but Ji Mingzhu had already said, "Okay."
Ji Sheng enjoyed the meal quite well. Zhou Yunzhi kept looking at Ji Sheng opposite him coldly. Zhou Yunshu did not say anything, but just ate her meal quietly.
After eating, Ji Mingzhu said to Ji Sheng: "Xuan Jun, you and Shu'er have divorced, it is not appropriate for you to live in the same room again."
"Our house is small, so you and Yunjia should just stay here tonight."
"Yes, grandmother." Ji Sheng looked at Ji Mingzhu and said, "Then I will talk to them mother and daughter about some things tonight."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu and nodded. Zhou Yunshu stood up and left the chair, with Ji Sheng holding his daughter and following behind her.
"grandmother."
After they left, Zhou Yunzhi frowned and looked at Ji Mingzhu, "Why did you leave him here?"
"Because he still cares about Shu'er and Xixi."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunzhi, knocked on the table, and said to him, "He is Ji Sheng, yes, but he is also the father of Xixi and Shu'er's baby."
"Adult matters are adult matters. Be more careful in front of children in the future."
Zhou Yunzhi nodded. He didn't want to involve the child either.
But he still had a question, "Why did he suddenly change his mind?"
"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the capital?"
Ji Mingzhu looked at the night outside and said, "Maybe."
"Ask your sister tomorrow and you'll find out why."
Zhou Yunzhi snorted coldly, "Could it be possible that he would be honest with Shu'er?"
"meeting."
Ji Mingzhu smiled, "In his eyes, we are all outsiders. Only Shu'er and Xixi are his family."
"In some ways, Kang Qingyi, the old stubborn man, taught him well."
