Chapter 181 Replacing Her as Mrs. Fu
Ni Yutian looked at Fu Siyu, her almond-shaped eyes smiling.
"Siyu, do you know why your father doesn't want you to have contact with your mother?"
Fu Siyu shook his head.
"That's because he's worried that your mother will spoil you."
Fu Siyu was taken aback.
"Do you remember how old I was when I came to Nanxi Mansion?"
Fu Siyu said, "I remember, when I was five years old."
"Hmm, do you remember when I first came here, you always had nightmares?"
Fu Siyu thought carefully and vaguely remembered it. He nodded.
"But I can't remember why I had nightmares?"
“You were young then, so it’s normal that you don’t remember clearly.” Ni Yutian patiently explained to him, “You used to cry and fuss in the middle of the night. When I asked you, you told me everything yourself. But at that time, I thought that she was still your maternal grandmother and mother, so I didn’t want to say too much.”
"Teacher Sweetie, what did I say to you back then?"
“You told me that your grandma gave you a ‘magic stone’ and told you to put it under your mother’s bed so that the new baby in your mother’s belly would go to heaven.”
Fu Siyu's pupils twitched.
Childhood events are gradually forgotten as we grow older, but some memorable events will still come to mind when they are mentioned.
Just like now, upon hearing Ni Yutian's words, Fu Siyu's mind automatically conjured up the image of him lying by the bedside, placing that 'magic stone' under Shen Qingshu's bed...
Fu Siyu became nervous. "Then, Dad said that Qing Shu's mother originally had a little brother, but later that little brother died... Could it be because of that magic stone?"
“Silly child,” Ni Yutian sighed and shook her head, “That’s not a magic stone at all. If I’m not mistaken, it should be an energy stone.”
Fu Siyu frowned. "What is an energy stone?"
"It's a kind of stone with strong radiation. There's a crackdown on it in China. Your grandmother probably got it from overseas."
Fu Siyu was alarmed. "Strong radiation, won't it be bad for people?"
“That’s definitely not good.” Ni Yutian patiently explained, “Prolonged contact with these stone figures can cause cancer, and your mother was pregnant at the time, so this thing is very bad for her baby.”
"So..." Fu Siyu's eyes were already brimming with tears, "I really killed Qing Shu's mother's child? That little brother, I really killed him?"
"Don't think like that. Although you put the stone there, you were too young to understand anything at the time. Your grandmother was just using you to hurt you and upset your mother. But think about it carefully, why would your grandmother do that?"
Fu Siyu frowned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized!
"It's because of my mom!"
Ni Yutian nodded, her expression serious. "Your maternal grandmother is your mother's mother. Your mother definitely knows what she's going to do."
"But..." Fu Siyu asked in confusion, "Why would Mom hurt Qing Shu's mother?"
"Because your mother is worried that if you give birth to her child, her child will replace you."
Ni Yutian paused for a moment, then said, "Your mother is worried that if your mother-in-law has a child, your father will definitely be even less likely to divorce her. Your mother wants to replace your mother-in-law and become Mrs. Fu."
Hearing this, Fu Siyu was already quite devastated.
"So, my grandmother and my mother have been using me all along, right?"
Ni Yutian sighed and said with heartache, "Siyu, I know this is a big blow to you, but you are already 9 years old. You are a big kid now. I think you need to understand the grudges and scheming between adults. Otherwise, you can easily become a tool for them to achieve their own selfish desires again."
"But Mom is sick. She came to see me today with an injury on her wrist. I saw it, and the wound was bleeding a lot..."
"Whether she is sick or not, it is a fact that she and your grandmother took advantage of you."
Fu Siyu's eyes reddened. "So, it's because Mom has been using me that Dad is being mean to her, right?"
"Yes."
“Dad also said that she killed my brother… My brother is gone, and Dad must be very sad.”
Fu Siyu still feels lingering fear when he recalls Fu Siyan's angry expression at Yaoyue Mansion that night.
"I am my mother's child. My father hates my mother so much now. Will he soon stop liking me too...?"
Ni Yutian's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly.
She smiled and patted Fu Siyu's head, "Silly child, how can you think of your father like that? From childhood to adulthood, think about it yourself, has your father ever said a harsh word to you?"
Fu Siyu thought back carefully, then shook his head, "Except for tonight, Dad never scolds me. He's very good to me."
"Then think again, why did your father yell at you?"
Fu Siyu was taken aback.
He looked at Ni Yutian.
Ni Yutian looked into his eyes and said gently, "It's because you went to see your mother behind his back, and you also lied."
Fu Siyu lowered his head, his voice muffled, "But now Qing Shu's mother doesn't want me anymore, I just don't want to become a child without a mother."
“I know you long for your mother’s love. I’ve also heard that your mother devoted herself to raising you for the five years you were raised. She raised you very well and was a very qualified and warm-hearted mother.”
Fu Siyu felt increasingly heartbroken as she listened, "But she doesn't love me anymore."
"But from your mother's perspective, she wasn't wrong either. Your biological mother killed her son, so how can she treat you as her own child? In the teacher's opinion, it's already quite remarkable that she didn't vent her hatred and resentment towards your mother on you."
"Siyu, look up at your teacher."
Fu Siyu looked up at Ni Yutian.
Ni Yutian touched his face, her voice soft and sweet, "You have to understand that for a woman, losing her child is the most painful thing, a pain that can never be healed. So, you have to understand and comfort your mother."
Fu Siyu nodded, "Teacher Tian, I didn't understand before, but now that you've explained it to me, I understand."
"Then how about you be nicer to your mother and little sister from now on?"
Fu Siyu nodded firmly, "I know! Qing Shu's mother used to be very good to me. It was my mother who killed my little brother. I can no longer expect Qing Shu's mother to treat me like her son, but I can be good to Qing Shu's mother and little sister!"
“Yes, that’s the right way to think.” Ni Yutian paused for a moment, then added, “As for your mother, the teacher thinks she really did something wrong. Your father is right to not let you have contact with her. You should listen to your father.”
"I understand!" Fu Siyu had completely figured it out now. "I'll apologize to Dad when he gets back. I'll listen to him from now on. If he won't let me see Mom, I won't!"
“Our Siyu is the most sensible.” Ni Yutian glanced at the time. “It’s getting late. Go upstairs and take a shower. I’ll tidy up these things.”
"Okay." Fu Siyu stood up. After Ni Yutian's encouragement, he felt much better. "Teacher, your cold is still not better. Remember to get some rest."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Siyu. I'm feeling much better now." Ni Yutian hugged Fu Siyu. "Let's go upstairs."
"Um."
Ni Yutian watched Fu Siyu go upstairs, then turned around, picked up the empty bowl on the table, and went into the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, she gave a faint smile.
The surveillance camera above the restaurant has a blue light flashing.
At this moment, in the president's office of the Fu Group, in front of the imposing office, the man sitting in the executive chair reached out and turned off the surveillance camera.
He raised his hand, pinched the space between his eyebrows, and sighed.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Shao Qing's number, saying, "Give Ni Yutian a raise."
Shao Qing: "?...Okay, how much do you want it to go up?"
"Annual salary and bonuses have both doubled."
Shao Qing: "!?!"

A week later, Zhou Yu took leave from the film crew and went to Yuncheng to record a variety show.
To her surprise, she saw Shen Qingshu at the recording site!
