Yang Yue'e suppressed the hatred in her heart and stood up with a smile: "Sister is a newcomer, I will offer you a cup of tea first."
Yu Jinshu thought Yang Yue'e's trick was really powerful.
Yang Yue'e offered tea to the newlywed first, which was a deliberate sign of weakness.
Now that she is favored by the Marquis, it is bound to make everyone in the Marquis's Mansion feel resentful. Moreover, as the second child, she actually wants the eldest child to offer her tea first. Wouldn't that make her even more disliked?
"Sister, this is really embarrassing for me. Please sit down. This cup of tea should be offered to you."
Yu Jinshu handed over the teacup, and Yang Yue'e took it reluctantly and handed the red envelope she had prepared earlier to Yu Jinshu.
Yang Yue'e looked at Yu Jinshu and thought to herself that this woman was very eloquent.
A simple tea ceremony, but with hidden dangers.
Fortunately, I have toasted.
However, at this time, Liu asked Qi Luoting to go to the front yard to entertain the guests. Some relatives were from other places and stayed in the Marquis' Mansion last night.
Yu Jinshu felt that Liu was deliberately trying to get Qi Luoting away.
Before Qi Luoting left, he took Yu Jinshu's hand and asked, "Can you handle this?"
Yu Jinshu smiled faintly: "Don't worry about me, I can handle it."
After hearing what she said, Qi Luoting went to the front yard with peace of mind.
The backyard hall became lively again.
Yang Yue'e introduced the people present to Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu met Zhou Junzhi and Nangong Yueqin.
Yang Yue'e didn't know before that Qi Luoting had always loved Nangong Yueli. She only found out after Nangong Yueqin entered the mansion.
When she introduced Nangong Yueqin, she deliberately mentioned Nangong Yueli to Yu Jinshu.
She already knew that Nangong Yueli disguised herself as a makeup girl and entered the general's mansion to kill Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu does have a psychological trauma towards Nangong Yueli, but she has a strong self-healing ability. Now when she looks at Nangong Yueqin, she doesn't feel much.
However, she saw a hint of provocation in Nangong Yueqin's eyes.
Yu Jinshu was not surprised and didn't want to pay any attention to it.
There were five other women in the room, each with a half-grown boy.
Yang Yue'e introduced them again, "These are all members of the Qi family. Because the Marquis had no children, they planned to choose one of these five children as a stepson. Today, on the day of the Marquis's wedding, they all came to meet you. I'll see which one you like and make him your stepson."
Yu Jinshu felt that one headache was worse than two. Yang Yue'e always pushed things onto her. Choosing one of the five was a very offensive thing.
The one who is chosen will naturally be overjoyed, as he may have the chance to become the crown prince in the future.
Wouldn't the four who weren't chosen hate her to death? It's possible that one day they might take up a knife and attack her.
Yang Yue'e is so insidious!
The mothers of the five children pulled their children in front of Yu Jinshu.
What Yu Jinshu found exaggerated was that these women actually let the children call her mother.
Yu Jinshu did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and called the five children to his side, and took some candies from the table for them to eat.
"You all look so cute, why don't you just stop being picky and come to the Marquis's mansion to be his stepsons!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stared at Yu Jinshu in surprise.
Liu's face looked a little ugly, but she couldn't get angry in front of her relatives.
Yang Yue'e looked at her mother-in-law Liu's unfriendly expression towards Yu Jinshu and she smiled.
Yu Jinshu continued, "I can't take care of five children by myself."
She looked at Yang Yue'e and said, "Sister, you are the elder sister, the eldest lady of the mansion. You can take three and I will take two. What do you think?"
Yang Yue'e was stunned. She didn't expect that by pushing the adoption matter to Yu Jinshu, she would actually be setting herself up for trouble.
But now that things have come to this, it seems difficult to refuse.
The mother of five children looked at her, waiting for her nod.
Yang Yue'e was a virtuous woman. She could not refuse when faced with such a matter and had to agree to it.
She first looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu: "Old Madam, what do you think?"
Mrs. Liu also looked helpless. The matter of adoption was brought up last year, but it was delayed until now. It was just right that they had planned to discuss it this month, and as her son was marrying Yu Jinshu, she simply put the matter aside for today.
In fact, Liu was still hoping that her son could be raised and have a few children with Yu Jinshu, so that she wouldn't have to adopt another child.
But some people say that if you can adopt a boy, you will be able to have children.
Liu planned to adopt a child under the name of her son Qi Luoting. As for whether this stepson would become the crown prince in the future, it depended on whether her son would have his own son.
Who could have thought that with just a few words, Yu Jinshu would take all five children into the Marquis' Mansion as step-sons.
The Marquis's Mansion was wealthy and it was not that they could not afford to raise these five children. However, these five children were not their own after all, so there was some distance between them.
However, Liu still nodded and agreed, "Alright, that's it. All five will be adopted into the Marquis' Mansion. Yue'e is your eldest wife, so it's only natural for her to take three. Jinshu is younger and has just entered the Marquis' Mansion, so she can take two."
Yang Yue'e looked at the five children and smiled awkwardly: "Who of you is willing to follow me?"
Unexpectedly, these five children all gathered around Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu hurriedly said, "Why not draw lots?"
Liu nodded: "I think it's okay."
The maid in the room hurriedly prepared to draw lots. After the five pieces of paper were written, the five children each drew one.
The youngest one given to Yu Jinshu was only four years old, and there was another one who was six years old.
Yang Yue'e's were seven, ten, and twelve years old respectively.
Yu Jinshu was very satisfied with the result. The younger the age, the more malleable one is.
She didn't dislike children. After all, in this marquis's mansion, she didn't have to take care of the children's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. She only had to arrange their studies.
But Yang Yue'e really doesn't like children. She finds them annoying no matter how young or old they are.
At noon, two tables were set up in Liu's yard. Yu Jinshu sat with the two children, eating while chatting and laughing.
The mother of the two children felt relieved when she saw that her children got along well with Yu Jinshu.
After the meal, everyone dispersed.
Yu Jinshu arranged for the two children to live in the small courtyard next to Qizitang.
Qi Luoting was extremely passionate towards Yu Jinshu, but was cold towards others. After having lunch in the front yard, he immediately returned to Qizitang.
When Yu Jinshu returned to the bedroom in Qizitang to take a nap, he saw Qi Luoting lying on the couch.
Qi Luoting was lying on the couch in a red middle-length robe, his eyes slightly closed. Perhaps because he drank some wine, his handsome face was slightly flushed, even his lips were red. He looked so quiet, with an indescribable sexiness.
Yu Jinshu took off the pearl hairpins on her head in front of the dressing mirror, stood up and undressed, walked to the couch, and was thinking about how to go in and sleep without waking Qi Luoting when Qi Luoting grabbed her hand.
"They didn't bully you after I left, did they?"
"No. But I asked for two step-sons."
"Two stepchildren?"
Yu Jinshu told Qi Luoting about the adoption of five children.
