The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

However, thinking that her child was still young and she would have to rely on him for more than ten years, her expression softened considerably.

He Zhizhang saw this and couldn't wait to hug Du Siyu.

Du Siyu broke free from him, "What are you doing?"

He Zhizhang stared at her lecherously, "We're husband and wife, so tell me what I want to do?"

"In broad daylight, with servants standing guard outside, have you no shame?" Du Siyu said rudely.

In the past, He Zhizhang might have mocked her and slammed the door shut, but today he couldn't bear to do that.

"Then my wife, you must wait for me tonight."

After He Zhizhang finished speaking, he even gave her a flirty wink.

Du Siyu felt a pang of nausea, but nodded with a smile on her face.

He Zhizhang, bored that he could only look but not eat, turned around and wanted to leave.

Du Siyu breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally leaving.

He Zhizhang stopped at the door. "By the way, my brother just told me he wants to raise our son."

Du Siyu paused for a moment, then blurted out before she could think, "Which brother?"

"Of course it's my own brother."

He Zhizhang has always looked down on He Jia Dalang the most since he was a child, and he rarely calls him "brother" in private.

After realizing who it was, Du Siyu said irritably, "Why should my second brother raise my son? If he wants to raise a child, can't he have one himself?"

“I told him the same thing, but he said Lin Ruoqing is not in good health and can’t have children in the next two years. She likes children, and we have two, so we want to adopt one.”

Children are not important to He Zhizhang. Of course, he is happy to have a son, but he doesn't think they are that important to him right now.

Du Si laughed, "That must be what Lin Ruoqing was thinking."

He Zhizhang nodded, "Probably."

Du Siyu said calmly, "I understand."

He Zhilin tentatively asked, "Then you..."

Du Siyu said firmly, "Don't even think about it. These two children are my own children, born at the risk of my life. No one can take them away!"

Seeing that she was angry, He Zhizhang quickly said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I was just asking casually."

After saying this, he left the house.

Actually, he also had his own selfish motives. If Du Siyu was willing to take it, he would ask his brother for more benefits, such as money.

Du Si slammed her hand on the table in frustration.

Pearl saw He Zhizhang leave and came in just in time to witness this scene.

"Young mistress, take your time."

Du Siyu complained to her personal maid, feeling wronged: "That bitch Lin Ruoqing from Pearl Forest actually tried to steal my child!"

Du Siyu recounted what had happened, and Pearl thought that the hospital was crazy. Why couldn't she just have a child herself if she wanted one?

Du Siyu couldn't swallow this insult. "Let's go find her!"

"Yes."

The two, master and servant, arrived at Lin Ruoqing's courtyard in a menacing manner.

Caihuan saw Du Siyu bow her head and greet her from outside the door, "Third Young Mistress."

Du Siyu said coldly, "Where is your master?"

"Our master didn't..."

Seeing that Caihuan was trying to lie with a fierce expression, Du Siyu had no patience and kicked the door open.

Lin Ruoqing was startled by the noise. She turned around and saw Du Siyu. Her brows furrowed. "What's wrong with you?!"

"Am I crazy or are you crazy? If you want to raise a child, then have one yourself! If you can't have one yourself, then let the concubines in the courtyard have one. Stop clinging to your second brother and refusing to let go!"

Lin Ruoqing's face darkened upon hearing her words.

"Get out! You're not welcome here!"

"You think I wanted to come to your dilapidated yard? I'm here to tell you, don't even think about messing with my son, or I won't let you get away with it!"

Du Siyu left after making those harsh remarks.

Lin Ruoqing coughed violently in anger; Du Siyu was so disrespectful to her.

Caihuan quickly went to help her master.

After calming down, Lin Ruoqing said fiercely, "Since she's so reluctant to part with her son, then I'm determined to take him away!"

Caihuan frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid the child won't be so easy to snatch."

"No matter what, I will raise Du Siyu's son!"

Du Siyu came out of her courtyard and ran into Aunt Zhang not far away.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid Du Siyu, Aunt Zhang bowed to her and said, "Third Young Mistress."

Du Siyu looked annoyed. She disliked He Zhilin and the people in his courtyard. She gave a curt reply and continued walking.

Seeing that Du Siyu looked unwell, Aunt Zhang didn't dare to provoke her. Although Du Siyu's family was not prominent, she had a princess cousin and a aunt from the Marquis's mansion. In addition, she had given the Earl's mansion two sons. Now, Aunt Zhang was just a minor concubine and didn't want to provoke her.

She had only taken two steps when Du Siyu called her back.

"It's been several years since Aunt Zhang entered the household."

Aunt Zhang thought the other party wanted to mock her, and felt somewhat resentful, but she had no choice but to respond.

"Yes."

Du Siyu looked at her carefully; with her willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and cherry-like lips, she was indeed quite pretty.

"Second brother really doesn't know how to cherish a beauty. I think you're better than that other woman."

Du Siyu was alluding to Lin Ruoqing.

Aunt Zhang said disdainfully, "How dare I compare myself to the principal wife?"

“Aunt Zhang, I’ve heard that Second Brother really wants a child of his own. You’d better hurry up. It’s still a question whether the women in that courtyard can have children. If you give birth to the eldest son, Mother will definitely promote you. A concubine is not the same as a common wife.”

Du Siyu's words greatly moved Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang smiled bitterly, "Third Young Mistress makes it sound so simple, but having a child is easier said than done."

“I’ve heard that there’s a folk remedy that can result in pregnancy with just one sexual encounter. You might want to have someone investigate it.”

Aunt Zhang was intrigued. "Is it really that miraculous?"

"You'll know if it's amazing or not when you try it. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."

Du Siyu left after she finished speaking.

Aunt Zhang stood there, lost in thought.

"Why is Aunt Zhang helping us?" Aunt Zhang's personal maid asked cautiously.

Aunt Zhang wasn't stupid either, and she instructed, "Go and find out why she came to this courtyard today."

"Yes."

Du Siyu returned to the courtyard and suddenly remembered that He Zhizhang might come that evening. She didn't want to serve him anymore, so she asked Pearl to tell the concubine in the courtyard.

He Zhizhang was snatched away by his aunt in the evening.

Unexpectedly, he came again the next day, but this time he was followed by He Zhilin.

Even though he was unwilling, Du Siyu could still put on a good show. She bowed and said, "Second Brother."

He Zhilin raised his arm slightly, "Sister-in-law, there's no need for such formalities."

The room fell silent, and Du Siyu guessed his purpose for coming.

"Sister-in-law, I have come today to ask you for a favor."

He Zhilin didn't want to come either. When had he ever been so subservient, especially to his own sister-in-law?

Du Siyu said with a forced smile, "Second Brother, we're all family, so don't talk about begging or anything like that. It's too formal."

"You know your second sister-in-law's health. She can't have children for the next two years, so we want to raise your and your third brother's child. Don't worry, we will definitely treat him well, and you can see him whenever you want."

Du Siyu thought his words were shameless.
