After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

"Godson?!"

As soon as Jiang Xiaoqi arrived at the front hall, he was startled by what Madam Cui said, but he was only surprised for a moment.

These days, he has also felt the affection that Master Cui has for him.

According to Master Cui, his adopted son was never home and would go around showing off a flute.

This adopted son is like a second-generation rich kid who's easygoing; he has no interest in doing business, and he's also indifferent to being the head of the Cui clan. His only passion is music.

Normally, you can never find the person to play a game of chess with, and even if you do, the opponent is a terrible player, so you can't experience the joy of playing chess.

However, he wasn't entirely without merit. This adopted son wasn't malicious; he was honest and fairly filial.

Although he spent most of his time wandering around outside, he would always remember to bring back some new little trinkets for Master Cui and Madam Cui when he returned.

Having spent time with Jiang Xiaoqi, Master Cui had grown to really like his old friend's disciple.

It wasn't just that she developed a fondness for his talent during their time together; she also wanted to take their relationship to the next level.

He wanted to stay in touch with the child and see how far the child would ultimately go.

Can one shine like one's friends, in their generation or even generations to come?

Madam Cui, of course, understood her husband's thoughts, so she also tried her best to promote her husband to Lin Yueniang.

Of course, it did not show any coercive attitude, so as not to put pressure on or make people feel resentful.

"Moon Lady, we are very sincere. Do you think you should send a message to the capital to discuss this?"

"Well...we're setting off the day after tomorrow, and it will take two months to send a message back and forth."

"No rush, no rush. You can discuss it with your family members before making a decision."

Madam Cui naturally assumed that a mother couldn't make the decision about her son choosing a godparent; she had to consult with the man in charge of the household.

However, she really didn't understand the situation of the Jiang family. It was true that the men in the Jiang family were in charge, but it was definitely not Jiang Wenqing, the father.

Landlord Jiang had absolute authority at home, but now he listens more to his beloved grandson.

Therefore, the real power in the Jiang family now lies in Jiang Xiaoqi's hands; the twelve-year-old Jiang Xiaoqi is the true head of the Jiang family.

Writing a letter to inquire about Landlord Jiang? That would be acceptable.

Although he could decide this matter himself, it was such a big deal as adopting a godparent, so it was better to discuss it with his grandfather.

If Grandfather agrees, we'll accept these godparents; if not, it's not a big deal.

By then, the mother and son had already left Chunyi, so they could simply write a letter to explain.

The chances of him visiting Chunyi again in the future are not very high. Even if he doesn't become godparents, there won't be any awkwardness when they meet again.

Jiang Xiaoqi had already made up his mind, and immediately agreed: "I am very grateful to Master Cui and Madam Cui for their high regard, and I am personally very willing to have another godfather and godmother."

However, it is indeed necessary to consult the opinions of the elders in the family; presumably, Grandfather would not refuse having two more elders doting on Mingfei.

"Alright, alright, that's the right thing to do. We should discuss it with our elders. Now, let's wait for Mingfei's good news!"

"Yes, sir, I'll write a letter and send it back to the capital in a little while."

Madam Cui left satisfied, while Lin Yueniang felt a little wistful.

She only has one son, and now that he's out in the world, she has to give half of him to someone else?

Jiang Xiaoqi knew Lin Yueniang's thoughts, so he didn't laugh at her. Instead, he whine and pleaded for her loyalty.

Jiang Xiaoqi has been cute since she was a child, and although she is a big girl now, she still has a lot of power when she acts cute.

Perhaps it's because of her chubby face that she's so deceptive.

Not only outsiders could be deceived, but even Lin Yueniang, as a mother, could not escape it.

Two days later, it was time to leave Chunyi.

Madam Cui prepared a large number of bags and packages, and also arranged a separate carriage.

This made Jiang Xiaoqi feel a little embarrassed, as she had sent a lot of gifts and even prepared a car to transport them.

It seems that the Cui couple have made up their minds to adopt Jiang Xiaoqi as their godson. However, they seem to have never met the eldest son of the Cui family who was adopted.

Just as Master Cui said, this man is quite dissolute. Oh well, he's not an important person, so what difference does it make whether I see him or not?

At his young master's signal, Li Mo took the horse reins from a servant of the Cui family.

Lin Yueniang also bid farewell to Madam Cui. The two had been mahjong partners for more than two months, and had really developed feelings for each other.

"Nephew, take care on your journey. When you see Shan Chu again, be sure to pass on what I entrusted to you."

"Yes, Mr. Cui, Uncle Cui."

"Hahahaha, alright, alright, you can call me uncle for now. I'm looking forward to the day you start calling me godfather!"

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled and solemnly performed the junior's greeting.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's set off!"

Fuling was about to help Lin Yueniang into the carriage, although Lin Yueniang was skilled enough that she didn't need help.

However, since they were out in public, Lin Yueniang represented the Jiang family's reputation and had to keep a respectable demeanor.

As soon as the carriage curtain was lifted, a dazzling white figure suddenly appeared in front of the Cui family's gate.

"Father! Mother! Are you going out?"

"Xi'er, you're back early today. We're not going out; your Aunt Jiang and Mingfei are setting off today."

"You've come back just in time. You haven't been home for so long and haven't seen Aunt Jiang. Come and pay your respects."

Madam Cui and Lin Yueniang addressed each other as sisters, and Madam Cui wanted to adopt Lin Yueniang's son as her godson. Naturally, she also wanted her son to get closer to Lin Yueniang.

Unfortunately, her son had been almost never home lately, and even when he did come back, it was already past midnight. He hadn't even paid his respects to Lin Yueniang once.

Madam Cui felt that her son was impolite. Since she had just happened to be there today, she naturally had to let her son pay his respects to his elders.

"Aunt Jiang? Which Uncle Jiang...?"

Following Madam Cui's gaze, Cui Xi turned to Lin Yueniang, who was about to get into the carriage, and then, "thump," "thump," "thump!"

This is the person I've been thinking about day and night, and the person I've been searching for for nearly three months!

This person has actually been living in their own house all this time?!

Good heavens! What did he miss?!

Aunt Jiang? He didn't care about Aunt Jiang; he only cared about where this young lady was going.

Can I take him with me? He'll follow me to the ends of the earth!
