Her brother, Master Zhang, was nearly fifty years old, and his previous wife had no children due to health reasons.
As this continued, the couple began to have conflicts.
As the conflict escalated, when Zhang was in his thirties, he divorced his first wife and married his current wife, who was more than ten years younger than him.
In his first attempt to have a son, he took several concubines.
Now, his daughter has given birth to thirteen children, but he still hasn't had a son.
That's why Master Zhang was so obsessed with his son.
He felt that he must have offended Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, in his past life.
"Looking for a son-in-law? Me?" Zhang Yuyan was hearing this for the first time.
Madam Ding: "Yes, we're looking for a son-in-law. Don't you always stand up for your mother? That way, you can stay by her side and protect her."
Zhang Yuyan's personality is also related to her mother's weakness.
Zhang Yuyan: "Will my dad agree to this?"
"Perhaps." Seeing that Zhang Yuyan did not object and was only pondering to herself, Madam Ding finished speaking and went to find Master Zhang.
Master Zhang was in the middle of a business deal when his wife gave birth to a daughter, so he had to rush back.
If he had known it was another baby girl, he wouldn't have gone back.
Now, not only has he failed to make a business deal, but he is also extremely dissatisfied because he heard from the midwife that his wife gave birth to a stillborn child prematurely, and he can only sigh in despair.
If he has no successor, who will inherit the vast fortune of the Zhang family?
He was also listless when his sister arrived.
Madam Ding stepped forward and got straight to the point, saying:
“Brother, my husband died young and had no children. Now, I want to ask you for a favor so that my sister-in-law’s newborn daughter can be adopted by my late husband and stay with me until I grow old.”
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang was somewhat shocked. "Wasn't your sister-in-law's baby stillborn?"
"Who said it was stillborn? The baby was just having breathing difficulties. Now, it has been saved by Miss Qiu."
"She's alive? Miss Qiu, you're truly capable... Sister, haven't you ever thought about finding someone else?"
"I just want to stay by my late husband's memorial tablet and live out my life there."
“If you want a child, any of my dozen or so daughters can be adopted by you, as long as they agree. But that child you just had was not yet due, so let’s forget about it. It won’t survive.”
“The child is too old to be tamed.” In Madam Ding’s mind, the scene of Gu Xiaoran’s estrangement from her flashed through her mind.
"Fine, if you want to keep it, then keep it."
As Qiu Yan left the Zhang residence, thinking that Jiang Liu was still waiting for her, she quickened her pace.
Halfway there,
"Qiu Yan, wait..."
Hearing a call from behind, Qiu Yan turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yuyan who had caught up with her.
Despite her initial bad impression of Zhang Yuyan, Qiu Yan still asked:
"Young Miss, is there something you need?"
"I..." Zhang Yuyan felt a little embarrassed facing Qiu Yan, as she had misunderstood her twice.
After thinking for a long time, she finally managed to utter a sentence.
"Don't blame me." She just wanted to protect her younger sister.
"What do you mean I can't blame you? Did I say I blamed you?"
Qiu Yan has no reason to blame Zhang Yuyan for what happened today.
“You didn’t say that…” Zhang Yuyan was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and stammered, “…I’m sorry.” Then she turned around and ran away.
Qiu Yan... Zhang Yuyan, she really looks like a complete idiot.
Zhang Yuyan did not delay her return home. As soon as she got back, Jiang Liu asked her why she had been gone for so long.
Qiu Yan briefly recounted the unexpected events surrounding Madam Zhang's childbirth, and Jiang Liu felt fortunate.
Fortunately, Qiu Yan went; otherwise, the child would have died.
Beside her, Cuizhu's mood was like the winding mountain road, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Seeing that it was already past 9 AM, Qiu Yan and Jiang Liu set off without delay.
