Tears welled in Shen Yu's eyes. She had already made up her mind. Yes, if the children's true parentage were ever revealed, the Liu family would never let them go. Rather than let the children take risks with her, it would be better for them to live peacefully in the Yan Prince's mansion.
After handing the baby girl to Hongyu, she turned and hurriedly fled.
She walked hurriedly, her back view unsteady, her rain-soaked cloak swaying wildly.
Hongyu felt a pang of heartache, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Feicui, fetch a clean set of clothes and a cloak and take them to Sister Yu. Go quickly!"
"Yes." Cuiwei hurriedly returned to her room, and in a moment she grabbed her clothes and ran out the door.
Seeing this, Hongyu carried An'er back to her room. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she turned around abruptly to look at Prince Yan. "Prince Yan, Sister Yu has been running around everywhere since giving birth. She has suffered a lot. How will she remarry with a son in her arms?"
"What do you mean, Yu'er?" King Yan asked, reaching out to wipe away Hongyu's tears.
Hongyu grasped Yan Wang's hand and pleaded softly, "Hongyu begs Yan Wang to take in Sister Yu's other child. That way, Sister Yu can remarry into a good family without any worries. If she brings the child with her..."
"Yu'er is foolish!" Prince Yan's face darkened, and he analyzed in a low voice, "Now that Shen Yu's search for her son has become common knowledge, it must have reached the palace. If Shen Yu has no children, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others, and it may even implicate Prince Yan's mansion. Now, Shen Yu's fate depends entirely on herself. I hope that she and Bai Yejing will get married, so that Yu Lang's son can be protected."
------
Shen Yu's carriage stopped outside the East Gate. Someone outside shouted, "Mu Shen Yu! The old lady of the Jia family has accused you of leaving the mausoleum without permission and abandoning an infant. Master Gu has ordered me to arrest you."
Shen Yu suddenly lifted the curtain and asked, "Is the child alright?"
Gu Erlang leaned closer and whispered, "Seventh Sister, don't be anxious. Last night, Jia Lingyu came to the yamen to report that you escaped from the cemetery, presumably to expose your abandonment of the baby. This morning, Old Madam Jia wanted to take the child to the orphanage, but Sixth Sister snatched the child back and took her back to the Gu family. Fourth Sister and Old Madam Jia also came after her, simply to stop Sixth Sister..."
The child is at the Gu family's house? Chen Yu, tears streaming down her face, looked at Gu Erlang with pleading, "Second Brother, I must go back to the Gu family to see the child one last time..."
"drive!"
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Bai Yejing sped away in his car.
Bai Yejing placed Chenyu and Cuiwei at the Gu family's small gate, then drove the carriage away with the constables.
Shen Yu arrived at the Gu family and followed Rong Momo to the courtyard of Old Madam Gu.
Granny Rong whispered, "Miss, Fourth Miss, Sixth Miss, and Old Madam Jia have all arrived. Fourth Miss is six months pregnant and about to give birth to the Jia family's eldest son, so naturally she and Old Madam Jia will forbid Sixth Miss from adopting the child..."
"What did Grandmother say?"
"The old lady said, 'The child is flesh of your body, and you have to make the decision yourself.'"
Shen Yu's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She quickly wiped them away and rushed into the hall. There sat Grandma Gu and Grandma Jia, their expressions solemn. Turning to look at the woman sitting to the side, she saw Gu Xiaosi wiping away tears with a handkerchief.
Where is Sixth Sister?
Shen Yu was eager to see her child, so she was naturally looking for Gu Xiaoliu.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying rang out, and Chen Yu hurriedly rushed into the inner room.
Gu Xiaoliu was sitting on the edge of the bed. Looking closer, she saw the child crying loudly. She rushed over, pushed Gu Xiaoliu aside, and picked up the child. The child immediately stopped crying, but she choked back tears, sobbing, "My child, my child, Mother has finally found you..."
"Seventh sister, please let me raise the child. You know, I haven't been able to conceive since my miscarriage last year. Sixth sister swears to heaven that she will treat the child as her own..."
Bang!
The door was flung open, and Old Madam Jia strode in, saying sternly, "No! How can an outsider's child be the legitimate son of my Jia family? Registering him under Gu Xiaosi's name and making him the eldest son of a concubine is already a great favor."
“Mother! I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family. I have already discussed this matter with Liangyu, so you don’t need to worry about it…”
"We can't listen to you on this. You and Xiaosi have fallen out over a child. I think it would be better not to adopt him at all..."
Hearing Gu Xiaoliu and Madam Jia arguing, Shen Yu picked up her child and was about to leave. She had just stepped out of the bedroom when she was stopped by Madam Gu.
Grandma Gu reached out her hand, indicating that she wanted to hold the child.
Shen Yu held the child and shook her head slightly. She was afraid, afraid of losing the child again.
Grandma Gu did not insist, but shook her head and chuckled, "Yu'er, do you not even trust your grandmother? Grandmother just wants the wet nurse to feed the child. Sit down and give your sixth sister and the Jia family an explanation."
Shen Yu shook her head and retorted, "This is my child. When did I say I was going to give him away? When did I hand him over to the Jia family? Why should I give them an explanation?"
"I'm giving it away as a gift."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Princess Yanghua had arrived.
Since Old Madam Mu fell ill, all the household affairs fell on Mu Nanfeng's shoulders. However, Mu Nanfeng was a henpecked husband, so Yang Hua took over the handling of these matters.
Before Yang Hua even entered the house, Old Madam Jia rushed forward and poured out her grievances, "Princess Yang Hua, even if your family doesn't agree to the marriage between Chen Yu and Bai Yejing, you could simply hand the child over to the Bai family, so that Chen Yu could remarry..."
"Why should my Mu family's daughter bear a child for the Bai family? Even if this child is given away, we must never let the Bai family benefit from it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu was furious and rushed forward to argue with Yang Hua, saying, "Sister-in-law, this is my child, and you have no say in this!"
