So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Xiao Yueshan and Xu Duanmin went to the main hall of the main house together. Lord Zhou and his wife were already sitting upstairs, and the two young masters of the Zhou family were sitting to the left of Lord Zhou. Seeing the two of them, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly invited them in to sit down and have tea. Naturally, the two of them bowed and greeted each other before sitting down one by one.

"Jingyun is in poor health, so I didn't ask her to come. I just asked you to come and chat." Mrs. Zhou said this after seeing them drink their tea first. She especially smiled at Xiao Yueshan, but there was some bitterness in this smile.

"All the family members are here today, and we want to discuss the matter of adopting a child for Yao'er. As Yao'er's wife, Yueshan naturally has to seek your opinion." Lord Zhou spoke slowly.

"Father, aren't you still looking for my husband? Why are you talking about adoption? Could it be... Could it be my husband... Could it be that there is bad news?" Xiao Yueshan pretended to be panicked, tears falling immediately. She was amazed at her acting skills. She was a smart person who got ashore and got mixed up in several departments. She could do "singing, reciting, acting, fighting, pretending to eat and act stupid" at will. At this moment, her face was pale, her voice was trembling, and tears were pouring down. No one dared to doubt her sincerity.

"Don't cry, child. We still have to keep looking. There is no contradiction between adopting a child and looking for Yao'er. Just relax and don't let your imagination run wild and scare yourself." Mrs. Zhou came over and wiped Xiao Yueshan's tears herself. She turned around and sat down only after she saw that she had gradually calmed down.

"Your mother is right. There is no contradiction between adopting a child and finding Yao'er. You and Yao'er have been married for a short time and have no children yet. Now you have a child by your side to serve you all the time. You can take care of him and teach him, so he won't be so sad all the time and hurt your body." Lord Zhou also comforted him.

Xiao Yueshan didn't want to say anything yet, but just shed tears secretly. Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou didn't want to push her too hard, and they wanted to give her time to think about it, so they didn't say anything. For a moment, the main hall was so quiet that it made people feel scared.

"Father, Mother..." Xu Duanmin felt embarrassed and anxious because of the silence. Thinking of Xiao Yueshan's entrustment, she couldn't help but want to give her a way out to break the deadlock. Unexpectedly, she was interrupted by her eldest brother as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Why don't you meet the selected clan member, maybe it would be better if you see the child, and you won't be so repulsive." The eldest young master Zhou Han said, Xiao Yueshan noticed at a glance that he was suppressing the upward corners of his mouth, so she turned her face away from him.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, who were sitting in the upper seats, did not say anything. Zhou Han asked Chang Sui to bring up a child of four or five years old: "This is the third son of my uncle Zhou Qiufu from our hometown in Chengzhou, and the fourth son of my cousin Zhou Rixin, named Zhou Chengliang. I think he is of the right age, healthy and smart, and Uncle Qiufu's family is prosperous, so they are willing to let Liang's child come. You can adopt him to your third younger brother to prevent him from being without descendants..." Zhou Han forgot himself for a moment, and at this moment he could only keep the word "without descendants" stuck in his throat.

Although he was afraid of angering Xiao Yueshan, he thought that her family would not accept a daughter who had been married for the second time, and that they had to accept his proposal even if they had to swallow their anger. At this moment, he felt fearless and told the maid to prepare to take Liang Ge'er to meet them.

Xiao Yueshan was waiting for this person to come forward. She didn't say anything just now because she was waiting to see who would lose patience and rush to promote the adoption of a child. She didn't expect it to be her eldest brother. Thinking about how actively he was looking for this child and how he rushed to her room without waiting for Zhou's parents to show up, this child must be related to him. Thinking about the Zhou family's search for Zhou Yao was also entrusted to her eldest brother, it was estimated that he would not try his best to find this outstanding third brother.

Xiao Yueshan, who had seen too many bloody evening dramas, intuitively thought that this child was the eldest brother's illegitimate child, but on second thought, he couldn't be so arbitrary. But even if it wasn't the eldest brother's illegitimate child, it wouldn't be a good thing, otherwise why would the cousin's family be willing to send him away to be someone else's son.

She stopped the maid who was about to help Liang Ge'er to greet them, rushed to the center of the hall, and knelt down to kowtow to Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou in the hall, and said loudly: "Father and mother, your daughter-in-law has something to say!" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked the mother beside her to help her: "Shan'er, just say what you want to say, why do you have to be so polite."

"My father and mother have been so kind to me that I have no way to express my gratitude. I have no choice but to ask you in front of my elder brother, my second brother and my sister-in-law! Please listen to what I have to say!" She bowed again before she finished speaking.

"My father sent a letter saying that Lord Xie from Huainan Prefecture would help find my husband. I prayed day and night, hoping to find news about my husband as soon as possible. Now I haven't received a reply yet, but I saw my elder brother bringing the child up. I feel that I have been with my husband for too short a time, and that I haven't had any offspring for the Zhou family yet..." Xiao Yueshan sobbed a few times, as if she was about to die: "I am young and have just experienced some misfortunes. I am not in good spirits. I have been sad alone these past few days. My husband is a man of great talent and talent. My father, mother and even the elders of the entire clan have high hopes for him. It's a pity that I am useless and have no blessing to give birth to a child. Now seeing the child, I am even more sad. It is my unhappiness, no blessing to give birth to my husband's child..." After that, Xiao Yueshan prostrated herself in the hall, and only her sobbing could be heard.

Xiao Yueshan bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud, as if she was acting in a TV drama. This crazy elder brother was going to force her to submit, so she used a magic trick to defeat the magic! It didn't matter if she adopted a child, it would just cost some money to raise him, but she didn't want to be calculated by others, suffer this loss, and become a cuckolded mother without knowing it.

Xu Duanmin, who was standing next to her, thought that she was also newly married and childless. If it was Zhou Xuan who was missing, she would be the one crying. Thinking of her third brother and sister-in-law who used to be proud of their talent, glorious and hypocritical, now being so miserable, she felt very uncomfortable. "Father and mother, there is no rush to adopt a child. Let's wait for a while until Yueshan gets better, and then slowly find one." She persuaded.

The sudden change was beyond Zhou Han's expectation. He thought that his third brother's wife used to be young and innocent, and now without his third brother as the backbone, she would be easy to control. The adoption of children was originally decided by the clan, and it would save her from going to the ancestral temple to practice, so he thought she would not refuse. As for when to adopt and who to adopt, she could not care about it and could not care about it. She could only accept it according to her own arrangement.

Considering the preference of parents for the third house, the private property of the third brother, the dowry of the Xiao family, and the connections accumulated by the Xiao family as teachers for generations, Xiao Yueshan only has this one son, and all the resources must be used for Liang Ge'er. Such a plan would not be considered unfair to Liang Ge'er, and Ningxiang would not be angry with him anymore.

"Who are you looking for? I finally got Liang Ge'er after begging for several days with my uncle Qiu Fu and cousin Rixing. The times are good now, the harvests are good, and the Zhou family is thriving under the leadership of my father. Everyone's children are treasured, but this is not the time to sell sons and daughters. My second brother and his wife have been in the inner house for a long time, so they don't know how hard it is." Zhou Han immediately retorted.

Xu Duanmin didn't know what to say after being humiliated by her uncle. She was always straightforward but simple-minded. She could only mutter, "That's not what I meant, brother." Zhou Xuan saw his wife getting involved in the private affairs of the third wife and was about to have a quarrel with his brother, so he quickly spoke to smooth things over, "Duanmin is young and naive. Brother, don't argue with her."

"If big brother could use the effort he put into finding this child to find Zhou Yao, we would probably be able to get news about my husband earlier." Xiao Yueshan said coldly.

"Why do you have to speculate like this, my third sister-in-law? Adoption into the clan was originally arranged by me, the eldest son. I understood that the women in your backyard were ignorant of human affairs, so I went out of my way to find such a suitable child for you. I didn't expect that your third sister-in-law not only didn't appreciate it, but also slandered and made up stories in front of our father and mother. How can I save face? I understood that you didn't want to suffer in the ancestral temple, and thought that you had a son to rely on at home, which was also a way for me to show my love to my third brother. This is really heartbreaking." Zhou Han didn't expect that his third sister-in-law was unwilling to accept his arrangement and saw through his thoughts, which really made him angry and embarrassed.

"Since my elder brother is sad, my daughter-in-law doesn't want to wait for my husband to come back and see this unclear child," Xiao Yueshan paused and glanced at Zhou Han meaningfully. "If I alone insist that Zhou Yao is still alive, my daughter-in-law is willing to go to the ancestral temple to pray for my husband!" After that, she kowtowed three times in the hall.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were surprised at Xiao Yueshan's determination, and they were also afraid that she had really seen through the clues. They did know that their eldest son had a child outside his wife. At that time, it was a critical moment to ask for a royal family lady to marry. Such a secret would really ruin the family's reputation, so they secretly sent the woman and the child to their hometown in the countryside of Chengzhou before Zhou Han got married. Unexpectedly, the disappearance of the third son gave the eldest son an opportunity to take the child back.

Thinking of his grandson wandering outside, even though he was registered under the name of a branch, he was not around after all. Now that his third son was missing, seeing the dwindling population and lack of offspring, taking this opportunity to recognize the child was a bit of comfort. But he didn't expect the third daughter-in-law to react so strongly, so he shouldn't act too hastily, and should take a long-term view.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry for now. There's no rush for this matter. Just think of it as bringing Liang home to play for a few days. Let's put the adoption issue aside for now." There was a big commotion in the hall, and Lord Zhou came out to smooth things over.

"Thank you for your consideration, father and mother. I am really heartbroken. If I have offended you, father and mother, elder brother, second brother and second sister-in-law, please forgive me for the misfortunes I have suffered." Xiao Yueshan stood up and said in a teasing tone. After that, she bowed to everyone in the hall and left the hall, leaving the Zhou family looking at each other with their own thoughts.

Zhou Han was secretly unhappy. He really underestimated the third brother's wife, who was a person who was willing to take risks and control herself. His parents had tacitly agreed to bring Liang Ge'er home. This time, he was too hasty. He thought that the child should start to learn, so he just wanted to bring him back as soon as possible to avoid wasting time in the countryside. There was a long time to come. As long as Zhou Yao could not be found, the third brother's wife would sooner or later take over the job of raising his son.
