I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 213 I Haven’t Married You Yet
Mrs. He was bedridden. Cui Shuyan rarely saw her when she was in He's house.
Later, I was busy with Zhao Simin's affairs and didn't see her for two or three months.
But when I saw her again today, Mrs. He seemed like a different person.
The previous listless look disappeared, replaced by a radiant face.
Her face was lightly powdered and her hair was combed meticulously. Although she only had a jade hairpin and a few jade hairpins inserted in her hair, it looked simple and natural, yet luxurious.
In a trance, the lady who was good at dancing with long sleeves in the past came back again.
As soon as they met, Mrs. He was particularly enthusiastic: "Doctor Cui, I apologize for my neglect in the past."
"What are you talking about? You are too polite, ma'am."
"I heard that your injury had improved a little, so I dared to come and visit you. Thank you so much for helping our He family this time."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Mrs. He's eyes.
For so many years, she thought that the He family had no children because she was the one who arranged a marriage for Xie Xingyuan. Because of this guilt, her health was getting worse day by day.
It wasn't because her health was poor, but because she had lost the will to live.
She doesn't plan to live, doesn't take her medicine properly, and cries all day long. It would be strange if her body gets better if this continues for a long time.
Now that Zhao Simin has given birth to a son, and her eldest daughter-in-law Kong Miaowen is about to give birth, Mrs. He's health is getting better day by day.
In her eyes, all this was thanks to Cui Shuyan.
Now, she was truly grateful to Cui Shuyan.
After that, Madam He continued, "I brought some high-quality ginseng and supplements. Please accept them."
Cui Shuyan was a little embarrassed: "Madam He, your family has already sent a lot of precious medicinal herbs, there is no need to send more."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, how can we not send you these medicinal herbs? Sending only these is nothing. Even if we move everything in our He family's warehouse here, it is not enough to express our gratitude to you." As she spoke, Mrs. He wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
"My original intention in doing this was just to help the prince get rid of his reputation as a wife-killer." Cui Shuyan said bluntly.
"Even so, you have helped our He family. You don't know that over the years, I have regretted almost every day that there is no grandson in my family. If it hadn't been bad for my sons if it got out, I would have hanged myself long ago." Mrs. He changed the subject and said, "I came here today to give you an invitation. My grandson's full moon banquet will be in ten days. If it is convenient for you, please be sure to attend."
Cui Shuyan smiled and agreed happily: "Okay. My injury will be completely healed by then. I will definitely come to show my support."
"Speaking of which, I have another unwelcome request."
"You say."
"Min'er's pregnancy was not easy. I originally wanted to ask you to be the child's godmother, but later I felt it was inappropriate. Why don't I take advantage of the situation and recognize you as my adopted daughter?"
Cui Shuyan was slightly stunned.
This was beyond her expectation.
You know, even for aristocratic families, adopting a daughter is quite particular.
Ordinary people need to think carefully before adopting a daughter, let alone these aristocratic families.
This adopted daughter can also enjoy the family’s resources.
Cui Shuyan thought about it, worried that this would affect Xie Xingyuan's plan, so she declined, "Well, I'll give you an answer after I think about it carefully."
"Okay, okay." After saying that, fearing that Cui Shuyan would be tired, Mrs. He did not stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.
After she left, Qiaoya came in and said worriedly, "Miss, the He family sent two more carriages of supplements this time. What should we do?"
You know, the He family only sent about seven or eight carts of supplements, which filled up an entire room.
Now they are being delivered again, and we have to find room to put these things.
"Are you worried about having too much food? It doesn't matter. Everyone can eat. There's no such thing as too much nourishing food."
……
After Xie Xingyuan came back, Cui Shuyan told him the purpose of Mrs. He's visit.
After listening to this, Xie Xingyuan frowned and said, "No."
"Why?"
Seeing Xie Xingyuan so serious, Cui Shuyan thought that something had affected the overall situation.
Facing Cui Shuyan's probing gaze, Xie Xingyuan felt a little embarrassed: "Minister He and I are friends regardless of age. We are brothers. If you recognize Madam He as your stepmother, wouldn't you be one generation younger than me in terms of seniority?"
Cui Shuyan glared at him and said, "I haven't married you yet."
"I like to plan ahead when doing things. I'll just reject this matter, and you just need to focus on recovering from your injuries."
However, two days later, Madam He came again, bringing with her the wife of Duke Zhao.
Mrs. He was a straightforward person. She stated her purpose as soon as she arrived: "Doctor Cui, my previous proposal was not well thought out. However, my in-laws are interested in adopting you as their adopted daughter. What do you think?"
Cui Shuyan was a little surprised and declined, "Madam He, Madam Guogong, you have already sent a lot of supplements. I have already felt your gratitude. There is really no need to do anything else."
"Such a serious matter cannot be justified by giving you some supplements. I saw it clearly that day. It was because you protected the child that you were seriously injured." Lady Zhao couldn't help wiping away her tears. "As a mother, I know how much Min'er wants this child. If something happens to the child, it could really cost her life. So, Doctor Cui, you saved not only a child, but also my daughter's life. For this reason, it is reasonable for our Duke's Mansion to show such sincerity."
"Madam, you are too kind. Anyone who encountered a situation like that would choose to save the child. I just made a choice that everyone would make."
"No." Lady Zhao shook her head. "Not everyone can do this. Doctor Cui, please don't refuse. Min'er is very happy to know that I intend to adopt you as my adopted daughter. She said she hopes to be your sister."
Having said that, Cui Shuyan could no longer refuse.
This matter was settled just like that.
The fact that Duke Zhao's Mansion has adopted Cui Shuyan as their adopted daughter will be announced at the He Mansion's full moon banquet.
After Xie Xingyuan came back, Cui Shuyan told him about this.
Seeing that he didn't look surprised at all, Cui Shuyan guessed that this was his doing.
"Why is it the Duke Zhao's Mansion?"
Cui Shuyan guessed that Xie Xingyuan must have his own reasons for doing this.
