The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"Yaoyao." Shen Jinzhu's heart stopped in fright.

Fortunately, Yu Kangjing steadied himself and reached out to catch his daughter.

Shen Jinzhu quickly took her daughter back into her arms.

"It's alright, it's alright." Yu Kangjing first comforted his wife, then patted Chen Dongxi's head as she threw herself into his arms.

"Xi'er, no one will drive you away."

Shen Jinzhu knew that the child was just too excited to see her husband, so she didn't hold it against her. She just said gently, "Yes, no one will kick you out. Just stay here. Also, don't rush over so recklessly next time, or your sister will get hurt."

"Yes, that was really dangerous. Be careful next time." Yu Kangjing nodded in agreement.

Chen Dongxi pursed her lips, looking at Yu Kangjing with disappointment in her eyes.

Her father saved him, so why did he join his wife in blaming her over such a trivial matter?

Throughout the journey, Uncle Shen always went along with her and never criticized her in the slightest. However, as soon as he got home and saw his wife and daughter, he began to lecture her.

he's changed!

Yu Kangjing didn't notice his expression; his gaze fell on his daughter.

He introduced the two with a smile: "Xi'er, this is Yaoyao, she will be your sister from now on."

"Yaoyao, this is Sister Xi'er, quickly call her sister."

Yu Ningyao called out "Sister" in a childish voice.

Chen Dongxi nodded gently and then replied, "Sister."

Then she looked at Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu: "What about you two? How should I address you?"

"For now, you can still call me Uncle. This is your Aunt Shen," Yu Kangjing replied.

Chen Dongxi has both a father and a mother, and her parents love her very much. Therefore, Yu Kangjing has no intention of letting her change her name and become his daughter.

His idea was to adopt her as his goddaughter and raise her in the third wife's courtyard.

But this matter still needs to be discussed thoroughly with my wife.

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Dongxi pursed her lips.

Then she obediently called out, "Uncle, Aunt Shen."

"Yes," Yu Kangjing and his wife both responded.

At this moment, the old lady sent someone to urge them again.

"Third Master, the Old Madam has been waiting for you for a long time. Please go quickly."

Yu Kangjing said helplessly, "I know, I'm coming right now."

He looked at Shen Jinzhu and Chen Dongxi: "You two chat first, get to know each other, I'll be right back."

“Okay.” Shen Jinzhu agreed and let him go alone.

She doesn't want to stay with us.

She'd really had enough of her mother-in-law.

After Yu Kangjing left, Shen Jinzhu wanted to talk to Chen Dongxi, but since Yu Kangjing wasn't there, she became a silent gourd again.

She remained silent when Shen Jinzhu asked her questions.

Left with no other choice, she looked at her daughter and said, "Yaoyao, do you want your older sister to go fishing with you?"

"Sister, let's go fishing." Yu Ningyao knew that this was the daughter of her father's savior, so she was very friendly to her.

Chen Dongxi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Yu Ningyao happily led her to the backyard to catch fish.

……

Yu Kangjing went to his mother's courtyard.

When the old lady saw him, she immediately pulled him up and looked him over. Seeing that he had only lost weight and was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did this business trip take so long?"

Yu Kangjing: "There was a slight accident, so it was delayed."

"What happened?" the old lady asked anxiously.

Yu Kangjing: "I can't say for now. We have to wait for Lord Zhao to report it to his superiors. You'll know in a few days."

Lord Zhao said that Shi Qing is the Empress Dowager's cousin.

The emperor might take it lightly and leave it quietly, so it's best not to announce it to the public yet.

This applies to family members as well.

"I'm your own mother, and you can't even say that to me?" The old lady was somewhat displeased.

Seeing Yu Kangjing's determination, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of him, so she could only ask about Chen Dongxi.

"You can finally tell me about the child, right?" she asked, staring at her son with a stern face.

"I would have told you this even if you hadn't asked," Yu Kangjing sighed.

"The child's father died saving me."

The old lady never expected this to happen.

"Why didn't you just give them some money? Why did you bring them home?" she couldn't help but mutter.

Yu Kangjing sighed again.

“If she still had relatives alive, I certainly wouldn’t have brought her home.”

He recounted Chen Dongxi's background.

Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Her maternal grandparents came to cause trouble, and her father, Chen Dahu, gave them a sum of money.

The two sides then ceased all contact.

Chen Dahu was an orphan who lost his parents at a young age and grew up relying on the kindness of others.

If it weren't for the hunters in the village teaching him some hunting techniques, he wouldn't have been able to save up enough money to get married.

"In short, Xi'er was left unattended in Chenjia Village, so I had no choice but to bring her back."

The old lady's brows furrowed so deeply they could almost trap a mosquito.

"I have a feeling that Chen Dongxi has such a tough fate, bringing misfortune to both her mother and father. You should quickly give her some money and send her to another family to be raised, instead of keeping her in the Marquis's mansion."

"Mother! How could you say that?" Yu Kangjing was somewhat displeased.

Chen Dahu died because of him, so how can the child be blamed?

The old lady muttered, "One Yu Ningyao is fine, but if another one comes along, aren't you afraid of bringing bad luck to your parents?"

After arguing his case, Yu Kangjing said helplessly, "At worst, I'll just stop her from appearing in front of you. She can stay in the third household, okay?"

"Alright, alright. Let's make this clear first: you can only raise her. You can't adopt her as your daughter." The old lady reluctantly agreed.

After all, if she became Yu Kangjing's daughter, even if she was his goddaughter, she would still be considered his god-granddaughter.

She doesn't want to be controlled by someone.

When Yu Kangjing arrived, he heard from the maid in his mother's room that his mother had fallen ill because she was worried about him, and had only just recovered today.

He didn't want to continue arguing with his mother over this, so he nodded in agreement.

"It's up to you."

Anyway, goddaughter is just a title, and he just needs to treat her the same as Yaoyao.

The old lady was finally satisfied.

Then she took his hand and talked about how Shen Jinzhu and her children were immature.

“There’s no reason to take back a gift that’s been given. Isn’t that incredibly disrespectful to me and your father?”

"I should never have let you marry that merchant's daughter. She's corrupted my grandson."

Yu Kangjing had already given in once, and when he saw that she was going to bring up the wife and children again, he was immediately displeased.

He said with a stern face, "If you don't want them, then as the younger generation, we should naturally help you two out. We took them away because we didn't want them to be in your way. Madam, haven't you raised the children very well?"

Hearing his words, the old lady almost fainted from anger.

This son is good in every way, but when he gets involved with Shen Jinzhu, he starts spouting nonsense.

"Go away, go away, stop standing there and making me angry."

"Alright, I'll take my leave now. Mother, please rest well." Yu Kangjing left quickly.

……

Yu Kangjing picked up another child and brought him back to the mansion, which angered the old lady. The news quickly reached Cui Ruixin's ears.

Her eyes lit up.

She was also thinking about how to make Yu Ningyao fall out of favor when Weiwei wasn't around.

Now the opportunity has arrived.
