The old lady agreed, and instructed the servant to prepare the visiting cards in advance, so that they could be sent as soon as the child was born.
Ji Xukai didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to donate so much silver.
Even to celebrate the Ji family having an heir, such extravagance is unacceptable.
"Mother, why are you donating silver to the border troops? And why such a large sum of fifty thousand taels?"
The old lady picked up the teacup and smashed it hard against him.
"I'm buying your life! Do you know who that little girl with the scar on her face is now?"
Ji Xukai shook his head blankly: "I don't know!"
"I don't know, I don't know! What could your pig-brain possibly know? She's the newly adopted young master of the Marquis of Anding's mansion!"
"What? She's clearly a woman..."
The old lady really didn't want to talk to that fool anymore, but luckily, at that moment, the sound of a baby crying came from inside.
She immediately got up and looked towards the room where Bai Shao was being produced.
A moment later, the old woman who had gone in earlier came out carrying the child.
She first handed the child to the old lady, then knelt down to offer her congratulations.
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Master! Your wife has given birth to a young master!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman holding the visiting card immediately turned around and told the accountant to write down the four characters "Congratulations on the birth of a son" in large characters.
Then the visiting card was handed to the steward, who, without delay, rode in a carriage driven by a servant straight to the Marquis's residence.
The old lady touched the child's face and then gave Ji Xukai a hug.
Then he had the old women call the wet nurse, and turned around to lead them back to his own courtyard.
No matter what Ji Xukai said, she didn't stop walking at all.
She felt that if Bai Shao could abandon her first child, she couldn't be any better to her second.
If Ji Xukai hadn't remained childless, she certainly wouldn't have tolerated such a ruthless woman in the Ji family.
After the donation, the Marquis's family didn't cause any trouble, which was fine.
If it were because of Bai Shao that the Ji family was plunged into utter ruin, she would certainly not show any mercy…
Qin Yunhe and his group had naturally heard the rumors and were furious, wanting to find Bai Shao to get to the bottom of things.
But Lao Wei stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive. This matter has spread like wildfire. That woman will have a hard time in her husband's family in the future. Why add fuel to the fire? After all, she has a son, who is one of your brothers?"
Upon hearing this, the group calmed down. Yes! They had completely forgotten about Qin Yun Ning.
No matter how bad Bai Shao is, she is still Qin Yun Ning's biological mother.
Now that we know what her future life will be like, we just need to observe quietly.
Qin Yunhe and Qin Yunhan bowed to Old Wei.
"Thank you, it was our oversight just now!"
Old Wei waved his hand with a grin.
"There's no need to thank me. You should think about how to comfort Luo Luo when she gets back!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away to the fields with his hands behind his back, leaving the four of them behind to discuss how to make Qin Luo happy.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua, who knew nothing about this matter, chatted casually with Madam Hou for a while.
I was ready to discuss the upcoming transaction with the Marquis in a serious and formal manner.
Before he could even speak, the servant interrupted him.
"Your Excellency and Madam, Manager Jin from Wangu Auction House has come with generous gifts to request an audience with the two young masters!"
The Marquis was a little angry upon hearing this.
"Wan Gu has always handled matters with decorum. How could he be so rude this time, showing up at my door without even sending a formal invitation? Is he even less polite than a warrior like me?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Wu Hua both scratched their heads sheepishly.
Lady Hou noticed their awkwardness and immediately asked...
"Do you two have some connection with Wangu?"
The two nodded, and Qin Luo first apologized for Manager Jin's rudeness.
Only then did they reveal their other identity.
"Uncle, Aunt, it's all my fault for not explaining my identity clearly before. Steward Jin has probably been looking for us! We were at the agricultural settlement before, but he couldn't find us. Today, the guards probably saw us at the Marquis of Anding's residence, so he rushed over to look for us..."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis realized that the man had lost his composure because he had seen his master suddenly disappear.
He stopped blaming her and quickly told the servant to bring the person in.
Manager Jin entered and first glanced at Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
But he was very tactful; he first apologized to the Marquis and his wife.
"My lord and madam, I apologize for my rudeness today. My two young masters suddenly disappeared, and I rushed here in a moment of panic. I hope you will forgive me!"
He then presented the gifts he had brought.
"I heard that your household has recently welcomed two young masters. These three jade ruyi scepters were made from a single piece of raw stone. I wish the young marquis and his two young masters a lifetime of happiness and success in all things!"
The Marquis looked at the three identical Ruyi scepters and laughed heartily.
"Manager Kim has quite the eloquence, please take a seat!"
After accepting the gift, he said, "Then I thank you on behalf of my three 'sons'! I'll prepare a return gift later, please take it back and don't be shy!"
Seeing his affable demeanor, Steward Jin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: What's going on? Where is that decisive and ruthless Marquis? And who is this smiling man?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Lady Hou spoke up to clear things up for him.
"These are my two newly acquired young masters. Come, quickly greet Steward Jin and thank him for his generous gifts!"
Manager Jin looked in the direction the Lady Hou was pointing, and saw that it was indeed his two young masters.
He had a bold guess in his mind, but it was also somewhat unbelievable.
"Young masters, what is this?"
Qin Luo took Wu Hua's hand and walked up to him, first politely greeting him, "Uncle Jin!"
Then, she told him everything that had happened between her and Wu Hua these past few days.
