Seeing his stern face, Jiang Qinyu ultimately let him make the decision himself and stepped aside from the doorway.
As soon as Liu Yuqing saw her move aside, she immediately squeezed in.
Through her teary eyes, she looked at Shufan and Pan'er and cried out with deep emotion, "My children! I've missed you so much!"
"You want us to die, don't you?" Shu Fan said coldly. Pan'er gripped Shu Fan's hand tightly and timidly hid behind him.
Liu Yuqing was taken aback, then quickly looked away with a flicker in her eyes. "How could you think that? I'm your own mother, how could I want you to die?"
"Is that so?" Shu Fan said coldly, "You left with someone when Pan'er and I were only a few days old. When it was freezing cold, you left my father to take care of us alone. Didn't you ever think about whether we could survive?"
Liu Yuqing choked, her face flushing red and then pale as she was stared at and questioned by a child. She wanted to defend herself, but didn't know where to begin.
After all, outsiders might not know what was going on, but the Jiang family knew very well.
Especially with Jiang Qinyu present, she dared not speak carelessly.
"Since you wanted us dead back then, why are you back now?" Shu Fan continued, "Don't think we'll forgive you just because you cry. From the day you abandoned us, we've had no mother! We were raised by our aunt and the Lu family. We have nothing to do with you!"
Liu Yuqing, angered by Shu Fan's words, quickly retorted, "Is this how your aunt teaches you? No matter what, I am your mother! Parents are never wrong. Even if I have done something wrong, you should forgive me!"
"Why should we forgive someone who wants us dead?" Shu Fan looked at her with disgust. "Even if that person is our mother in name only, we have no reason to forgive her!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinyu finally understood why Shufan wanted to meet with Liu Yuqing.
This child still harbors resentment!
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body hadn't noticed it all these years. If Liu Yuqing hadn't come knocking on her door, Jiang Qinyu probably wouldn't have discovered it herself.
Shu Fan has a gentle and easy-going personality, but he is also very focused on his work and does everything with his heart and soul. Despite his young age, he has a mature and composed demeanor.
But when facing Liu Yuqing, he unreservedly revealed his resentment, which even bordered on hatred.
"You should leave. The children don't want to see you." Jiang Qinyu took two steps forward, blocking the children's way, and coldly ordered them to leave.
Liu Yuqing's face was very pale. She rolled her eyes, lay down on the ground, and started wailing.
"Oh God, why is my life so miserable! I suffered so much when I was young, risking my life to give birth to two children, but now they don't recognize me!"
"Waaaah... Husband, why did you leave so early! Now that you're gone, your sister has taken over our child!"
"Everyone, come and judge this! Someone is taking someone else's children and refusing to return them. They're even inciting my two innocent children to disown their mother. Is there no justice in this world?"
She definitely couldn't get Jiang Qinyu's help today, so she might as well keep the child under her control. As long as the child was in her hands, why would she be afraid that Jiang Qinyu wouldn't obey her?
Liu Yuqing's wailing grew louder and louder, successfully summoning Aping, Yunzhu, Amber, and others who were at Old Man Lu's house. At the same time, villagers who heard the commotion also rushed over and gathered outside the door.
Jiang Qinyu glanced at Liu Yuqing on the ground, sneered twice, and then looked at the crowd outside the courtyard.
Fine, fine, for the sake of Shufan and Pan'er, she'll leave Liu Yuqing some dignity. Since she insists on not taking it, then there's no need for her to hide it anymore!
"Isn't this Ah Zheng's wife's former sister-in-law? She came last time, but then left."
"It's her, but what exactly is going on with their family? I don't understand why this woman is causing trouble here."
"What else could she be complaining about? She abandoned her husband and children to run off with someone else before, and now that the kids are grown up and her sister-in-law has married a great general, she wants to come and enjoy the good life!"
"What do you mean by abandoning your husband and children? Tell me more..."
The murmurs among the crowd grew louder and louder, and Jiang Qinyu had had enough of Liu Yuqing's wailing.
She took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said, "Since you say that I took your child, then since everyone is here today, I'll have a good talk with you about this."
Jiang Qinyu looked down at Liu Yuqing, "First, after you left my older brother, before he passed away, he personally handed the child over to me;
Secondly, after my elder brother passed away, I went to the government office and used his name to complete the divorce procedures on his behalf. According to the laws of Dai Viet, you have no relation to our Jiang family anymore.
Third, you have never appeared all these years and have already married a wealthy merchant in Qiongzhou and become his concubine. What does my Jiang family’s child have to do with you?
If the children wanted to live with their biological mother, I, as their aunt, would naturally not object, but the children don't want to.
As soon as she finished speaking, the onlookers outside the courtyard erupted in an uproar.
"Oh my god, how can there be such a shameless woman in the world? She's already someone else's concubine, and she still dares to come and ask for her deceased husband's child!"
"I've really seen something today. Even Ah Zheng's wife was being lenient with her. I heard she eloped with that rich businessman back then!"
"What? She eloped with someone and now dares to come back and ask for her child?"
"What's this? Think about A-Zheng's wife's older brother, that is, how did Jiang Xiucai die? This woman is basically responsible for Jiang Xiucai's death, and now she wants a child and wants A-Zheng's wife to acknowledge her as her sister-in-law. Is she dreaming?"
