"Don't rush the adoption. We'll take care of it for you later." Xiao Zongshan looked at Fang Qingqing. His voice wasn't loud, but it was deep and contained an uncomfortable sense of oppression. "As a mother, you have to consider your children's future. If this son wants to live a good life in the future, you have to make more plans for him. Sometimes, it's okay to make some sacrifices."
Xiao Lan felt that this was a bit strange. After all, generally speaking, if a young lady's children could be adopted by the mistress, they would naturally be willing to do so, and there was no need for her to persuade them like this.
The two elders of the Xiao family are used to being masters, so how could their attitude towards Fang Qingqing change like this because of this incident?
But in the end, it was a family dinner and there were a lot of people, so no one said much.
Fang Qingqing looked at Xiao Lan with a confused look on her face, then looked at Xiao Zongshan and Mrs. Xiao, and nodded.
"I will obey my mistress's arrangements."
Sun Jiye looked around at the conversation between these people, stuffed the food Xiaobai gave him into his mouth, his little eyes rolling around, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Xiao Zongshan nodded in satisfaction. Looking at Fang Qingqing's expression, he felt that this young woman should be easy to handle. If it really didn't work out, it wouldn't matter whether she was there or not. However, he still needed to confirm Xiao Lan's statement that she was not in good health and had difficulty getting pregnant.
"Grandpa, grandma, your grandson offers you a drink!" Sun Jiye picked up the teacup beside him, jumped off the chair, stood up straight, and walked to the two elders, acting very respectfully as if they were real people.
Sun Jiye had been quite quiet these days, his little eyes darting around, observing the comings and goings of his family. Xiao Lan had originally wanted Cuizhu to take care of him, but then she decided that Cuizhu's character was not good and would inevitably lead the child astray. Some people's natures could not be changed, so she sent Xiaobai instead.
Sun Jiye had been spoiled beyond belief at the Sun family's, but after that night, he seemed like a completely different person. He had witnessed his beloved grandmother being murdered by robbers, and Xiao Lan thought he might have been terrified. But later, it turned out he wasn't that frightened at all. He would only occasionally visit Jasmine, who had rescued him from the fire. Unfortunately, Jasmine didn't like him and didn't treat him well, so he would spend every day wandering around the yard with Xiaobai.
Xiaobai said that Sun Jiye had been to Sun Shaohua's study, but after going there once, he didn't want to go back. He then went to Xiao Lan's yard and saw Xiao Lan playing with Xin'er. The yard was bustling with activity, so he didn't want to go in again. Finally, he went to Fang Qingqing, but Fang Qingqing didn't really like the child and didn't pay much attention to him, so he wandered around and left again.
Xiao Lan didn't care about what Xiao Bai said at first, thinking that she would discipline him more carefully in the future. Now she let him walk around on his own, change his bad habit of being arrogant, feel the feeling of being ignored, and then she would have a good talk with him.
But now, thinking about Xiaobai's words again, combined with the child's well-behaved behavior, I feel that his thoughts are actually quite extraordinary.
Xiao Zongshan was also slightly stunned and looked at the fat boy carefully for the first time.
He looks pretty good, with Fang Qingqing's delicateness and Sun Shaohua's starry eyebrows and sharp eyes. He's just still young and fat, and you wouldn't notice unless you look closely.
"You haven't remembered it yet..." Mrs. Xiao was a little disgusted with him. Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Zongshan waved his hand to stop her.
"My dear grandson, who taught you to yell like that?"
"I'm the son of the Sun family, the mistress's son, so naturally I have to call you grandpa and grandma!"
Xiao Lan couldn't help but give Sun Jiye a thumbs-up. This kid was truly exceptionally smart. But whether this kind of smartness was a good thing or a bad thing was still unknown.
Xiao Zongshan was quite satisfied with Sun Jiye's answer, as it resonated with his own thoughts. A rare expression of doting spread across his face. He reached out and touched the child's head, clinked his cup with his, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Lan'er is a very good son! Xin'er, you should learn more from your brother!"
Xin'er was still eating. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with confusion, but she still jumped off the table and bowed respectfully, "Xin'er will listen to your grandfather's teachings!"
Xiao Lan sighed softly, feeling that she might feel redundant in front of the two elders of the Xiao family.
But even though he thought so, he felt that he had to pay attention to Sun Jiye as soon as possible. That unreliable grandmother died, and now these even more unreliable grandparents are here!
Regardless, the family dinner ended harmoniously. Xin'er wanted to go see the lanterns, but Xiao Xuan was a little disappointed when he didn't see her. Xiao Lan wanted to go with her, but Xiao Zongshan kept her, so she had to ask Xu Mama, Jasmine, Haitang and the others to accompany her. She also took Sun Jiye out to play and sent two or three servants to accompany him.
Fang Qingqing wanted to leave, but Xiao Zongshan kept her. Xiao Lan looked at her and felt that things were getting very complicated.
Several people went to Xiao Lan's yard. The maids in charge of the house had all left. A few maids served tea and then left.
No one spoke first, but Doctor Li came into the room. Xiao Lan didn't know who had called Doctor Li and when, and she just felt strange.
Xiao Lan quickly stood up to greet him. Doctor Li bowed and said, "Madam, please sit down and let me take your pulse!"
"Take my pulse?" Xiao Lan was puzzled. "Doctor Li isn't at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so why did he suddenly come to take my pulse? Didn't he just prescribe medicine for me?"
"I called him here!" Xiao Zongshan spoke, seemingly lowering his head to drink tea, but he gave Doctor Li a look.
"Madam, please take a seat!" Xiao Lan turned back to look at Xiao Zongshan, but she quickly figured it out. It was obvious that when she had told him she was having trouble conceiving, he had already sent someone to make an appointment with Doctor Li, who was about to take her pulse right here.
Xiao Lan just felt that her parents were full of suspicion in front of her. Well, she was weak to begin with, so it was impossible for her to conceive so easily.
Doctor Li examined the patient carefully, feeling the patient's pulse for a long time before he stood up and replied respectfully.
"Boss, Madam Sun's health is just as I diagnosed before, she's just deficient in Qi and blood. As long as she takes time to recuperate, she will definitely recover as normal!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zongshan was delighted, but then he said in a deep voice, "Where's Master Sun?"
"I'm afraid not..." Doctor Li thought for a moment and answered cautiously.
"You can step down! You've worked hard!" Xiao Zongshan nodded, and his previous plan became firm in his mind.
Doctor Li left, and Xiao Lan sat down again. Before he could even take a sip from his cup, he heard Mrs. Xiao start chattering.
"There's not a single useful man! Now that Master Sun is no longer useful, what else can we do?"
Fang Qingqing was surprised by the bluntness and harshness of Madam Xiao's words, but she lowered her head and said nothing. She knew that in a fight between gods, her words would only hinder them.
"I think Sun Jiye is quite likable today, and we two elders like him very much. Your wife is planning to adopt him as her own, but I think this may not be the best idea."
Xiao Zongshan said this to Fang Qingqing, and no one in the audience understood it, including Mrs. Xiao.
"Why not let Sun Jiye become Xiao Lan's real son? Forget about the adoption thing, just revise the Sun family genealogy!"
