Hua Shi, who had been anxiously waiting all day, nervously wanted to go forward but dared not, afraid of frightening the child, so she watched the child so close at hand.
The awkwardness in Madam Qi's heart had long since passed, and her eyes were now fixed on her grandson, unable to look away.
Lord Wei and his son appeared calm, but only they knew the joy and torment they felt inside.
This is my own son!
So this really is his own grandson!
Seeing this family like this, Hong Xiaoduo felt very sad. She gently pushed Kaiyang forward and was about to say that he should go see his family.
Kaiyang spoke up himself, saying with his head down, "I may not be able to pass the imperial examinations in the future. Have you thought it through? You've accepted me now, but if you look down on me for being useless later, you'll lose face."
So, are they planning to acknowledge them?
The Wei family of four was even more excited upon hearing this.
“Silly child, it’s not like everyone in the family has to be an official. If you want to pursue a career in government, go for it; if not, you can do whatever you want. If you want to go into business, wait a few years until you’re a bit older, and your uncle can take you under his wing.” Seeing his wife, son, and daughter-in-law looking at him, unsure how to respond, Lord Wei quickly spoke up.
Hong Xiaoduo, who was watching from the side, felt that as long as the child did not go astray, did not do things like bullying men and women, bullying children, or rebelling, the family would not care whether the child was successful or not.
At this moment, Kaiyang, who was also extremely nervous, relaxed a little after hearing his grandfather's promise.
My grandfather was the head of the family, so his words carried weight and he was someone who could keep his word.
The four adults in the Wei family also felt that the child probably still had something to say, so they suppressed the urge to hug him and waited until he had said everything he wanted to say and received confirmation and assurance so that he would have no more worries.
“Even if you acknowledge me, she will still be my mother.” Kaiyang spoke again, but this time he looked up at them as he spoke.
This "she" was, of course, just Hong Xiaoduo standing to the side.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo was about to speak when Kaiyang's father, Wei Zizheng, said, "Child, calling Hong Xiaoniangzi 'mother' is really inappropriate. She's not very old. Why don't you call her 'elder sister'?"
Wei Zizheng genuinely meant no harm; he simply felt that it was inappropriate for his son to call Hong Xiaoniangzi "mother," as she was still an unmarried young woman, and it would negatively impact her.
He hadn't known Kaiyang was his son before, which was fine; after all, it was someone else's business, and he shouldn't interfere. But now it was different. This was his son, his own flesh and blood, and as a father, he had to say what needed to be said.
Wei Zizheng's mother, Lady Qi, didn't find anything wrong with what he said, but his wife, Lady Hua, and his father, Lord Wei, immediately felt a pang of anxiety.
"You want to take advantage of my mother?" Kaiyang immediately became furious.
Those inside the house knew that when the child said he was taking advantage of someone, he meant in terms of seniority, not in the sense of a man taking advantage of a woman. Therefore, apart from glaring fiercely at Wei Zizheng, none of the other three members of the Wei family thought Kaiyang's accusation was excessive.
Since Hong Xiaoniangzi is not yet married, it is inappropriate to call her "mother". You could suggest that the child call her "aunt" or "auntie". But instead, you cleverly suggested that the child call her "sister". Calling her "sister" may not make you look old, but it has made the child furious!
"No, that's not what I meant." Wei Zizheng was sweating profusely because of his son.
"Shut up! Let the child call whatever he wants. Even Miss Hong doesn't mind. Why are you being so nosy?" Seeing his grandson's attitude, Lord Wei was afraid that his foolish son would ruin the grandson's plans to recognize his family.
Ms. Hua nodded in agreement; her father-in-law was right.
Qi looked at her aggrieved son, then at her beloved grandson who was in a fit of rage, and decided to listen to her husband.
Hearing his grandfather agree to his request again, and glancing at his disgruntled father, Kaiyang felt a little better.
Hong Xiaoduo looked helplessly at the little guy. Her intuition told her that the two things just now might have been just the child testing her. Both requests had been granted, and who knew what kind of trouble this brat would cause next.
"Child, just ask if you have anything else to say," Lord Wei gently encouraged his grandson, who was still hesitant to speak this time.
In fact, how could Lord Wei not have thought of what Hong Xiaoduo had thought of? However, from the perspective of a grandson, taking over this family meant that he could no longer be with his older brother, older sister, and younger sister who had shared joys and sorrows with him for seven years, nor could he be with the mother who saved him, nor could he continue to learn martial arts from his master. Gaining a family and relatives meant that he also lost his other family.
For the grandson, this choice was difficult and painful.
However, this proves that his grandson is a loyal and affectionate person. If he were to happily and wholeheartedly return to being a member of the Wei family and not mind losing his former family, Lord Wei felt that such a grandson would not be what he wanted.
So, no matter how unreasonable this grandson's request is, how unreasonable can it be that it cannot be agreed to?
"Ahem, Kaiyang, have some sense. You said yourself that I'm still your mother. If you go too far, I'll beat you up." Hong Xiaoduo, who had intended to observe quietly, had to speak up to warn him.
Don't think she doesn't know what he's planning. His unrestrained and disobedient behavior is just because he's thinking that if the Wei family doesn't like him, he'll have a reason not to be the Wei family's servant!
Kaiyang, who was always obedient, secretly turned his head to look at her after hearing this, and then moved to the side without making a sound.
