“Qianniang, this child was chosen from the clan. He looks smart and clever. Let’s adopt him.”
After Mo Qian regained consciousness, she heard an old, slightly dignified voice ring in her ears.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes and immediately saw the five-year-old child standing in front of him.
With an adorable face and fair, smooth skin, she resembled a lucky baby.
Mo Qian then looked around and found that the person who had made the sound was an elderly lady dressed in luxurious clothes, with a beautiful and charming woman beside her.
"Yes, sister-in-law, this child is so cute and well-behaved. It would be good to have him adopted by you."
The woman beside the old lady continued, a smile playing on her lips. Her voice was exceptionally lively.
Mo Qian felt this was a crucial point in the plot, so she wouldn't easily reveal her thoughts.
Afterwards, she casually made up an excuse and left. After everyone left, Mo Qian closed her eyes and began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner of the body, Mo Qian, was the wife of a general.
In her previous life, the original owner had no children for six years, and just like the previous scene, she was asked by the old lady to be adopted.
The original owner already felt guilty because she hadn't given birth to a son or daughter in several years. At the old lady's insistence, the original owner adopted the child she had just seen.
After the adoption, the original owner carefully taught the young child.
None of the children lived up to expectations; they were highly skilled in martial arts, achieved the highest score in the imperial examinations, and entered officialdom.
This transformed the General's Mansion from a place of military decline to one of civil officials.
However, after entering the court as an official, the child accused the original owner's mother's family of betraying the country and treason.
Because of the lack of precautions, the original owner's family did not take any precautions against the child. In the study, a place considered important, they found evidence of treason.
Afterwards, the original owner's mother's family was punished and the entire family was executed.
Later, the original owner angrily asked the child with a sorrowful expression why he did this.
The child, however, complained with a reproachful expression that the original owner was too demanding of him and that he couldn't recognize his biological mother.
He resented the original owner for taking his mother's place!
It turns out that the child was the original owner's husband's biological child, and not a member of the clan at all.
The reason he was adopted by the original owner was to give him a good background.
He wouldn't end up as a son of a concubine.
In addition, the original owner was raised in a large family and had a unique way of raising children.
In addition, her mother's family was powerful and could provide the child with some assistance.
And the child's biological mother was that beautiful woman who used to be by the side of the old lady in the General's Mansion!
She was adopted as a goddaughter by the old lady of the General's Mansion.
The woman was someone the Marquis fell in love with at first sight when he was away, and later she became pregnant.
Only after the child was born did they inform the old lady, who turned a blind eye out of consideration for the child.
Later, the original owner passed away, and the reason for her quick death was that her mother's family was destroyed.
Secondly, the child's biological mother was secretly intervening.
Finally, after the original owner passed away, the child's biological mother changed her identity and became the wife of the general's mansion.
Because of his previous framing of the original mother's family, the child received support from the opposing faction and rose through the ranks.
After receiving the original owner's memories, Mo Qian opened her eyes.
According to the original owner's memories, the current location is the time when the child will be adopted.
Now that she knows about the original owner's experiences in her previous life, Mo Qian has no intention of adopting any more children in this life!
If the child is ungrateful and takes the original owner's supervision and teaching as a constraint, then he is doomed in this life!
As Mo Qian was deep in thought, a noise came from outside.
Then, the original owner's husband, Li Zhan, the owner of the General's Mansion, pushed open the door and entered from outside. His face still carried a trace of anger that he had hidden very well.
"Madam, I heard that a child from the clan was to be adopted today, but why did it not happen in the end?" The voice was tinged with a hint of gloom.
"I just saw that child. He seems intelligent and will likely be able to support our General's Mansion in the future." There was a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
"General, I've thought about it today. This matter of adopting a son is of great importance, and we can't just rashly adopt him."
"After all, it's best to think carefully about which adopted son will be the one to uphold the honor of the General's Mansion in the future," Mo Qian replied, mimicking the original owner's tone of voice, with a slight smile on her face.
He looked like he was thinking about the future of the General's Mansion.
His voice also exuded a calm and composed air.
“Madam, I know you are doing this for the good of the General’s Mansion, but I think that child is really good, so let’s make him your son and register him under your name.”
"Now you have a son too. I'll have an heir. Isn't that wonderful?" the general said with a smile, his voice filled with joy.
"General, I know your intentions are all for my own good, but you should still consider this more carefully."
“After all, once the decision about the stepson is made, it cannot be reversed,” Mo Qian said, looking at Li Zhandi’s face. Her expression was firm, and her voice was filled with determination.
"Madam, I think we should make it a date," General Li Zhan said, a cold glint in his eyes. His voice was chilling.
"General, I believe it is not advisable at the moment." Mo Qian did not waver in the slightest when she felt Li Zhan's cold gaze, and replied by staring directly into Li Zhan's eyes.
His voice also carried a hint of seriousness.
"You! You're unreasonable!" Li Zhan's face darkened after hearing Mo Qian's words, and his voice was filled with anger.
Then, he slammed the door open and stormed off.
Mo Qian watched Li Zhan's departing figure, completely unaffected. She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
He appeared relaxed and at ease.
There was not a trace of sorrow or bitterness that came from leaving in a fit of rage during a fierce battle.
Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Lian, the original owner's maid who had accompanied her during her dowry, hurriedly went into the house.
"Miss, are you alright? I just saw the general leave with a furious expression." Her face still held a hint of worry, and her voice was filled with concern.
"I'm fine. The general must have left on some important matter. There's no need to worry," Mo Qian said calmly after hearing Xiao Lian's words. Her voice was serene.
"Miss, what is the reason for the general's anger?" Xiao Lian asked immediately after hearing Mo Qian's words, her face still showing a hint of curiosity.
His voice also betrayed a hint of confusion.
"What else could it be but the matter of adopting an heir?" Mo Qian placed her teacup on the table and said coldly, her voice carrying a hint of iciness.
"Miss, which clan's child was chosen for this?" Xiao Lian asked with a look of sudden understanding after hearing Mo Qian's words. There was still a hint of surprise in her voice.
"That child is really popular. Not only does the old lady like him, but now even the general is arguing with the lady because of that child."
Xiao Lian then spoke up, her face still showing a hint of anger, and her voice filled with resentment.
It seems that her young lady was somewhat dissatisfied because of some child, which caused her to be mistreated in front of the general!
