Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Qiu's face turned pale instantly. How could this be? Was what she feared finally about to happen? She had planned to send her back after she recovered from her injuries, but today she had thrown herself at her husband. If word got out, her husband would probably want to take her as a concubine.

No! I can't let her succeed! I can't let my man marry her! Thinking of this, Qiu couldn't care less about anything else and was about to step forward.

Liu grabbed her and stopped her from going.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I need to ask her why she rushed out and why she threw herself on Changhe. Changhe is my man. If a man is in real danger, I will definitely rush to his aid. But what is she doing now?" Qiu's face was very ugly. She was furious.

Liu shook her head slightly at Qiu. Her sister-in-law was straightforward. If she made a scene, it would be difficult for her to back down. If things got out of hand, her brother would have no choice but to take her as a concubine, and then there would be no turning back.

Wang glanced at her two daughters-in-law, sighed inwardly, and stepped forward to help Qian Yu'er up, saying, "Girl, get up first. I'm so grateful that you rushed out to help my family. Quickly check if you're hurt."

Qian Yu'er fell to the ground and remained motionless. She had heard what Qiu had said earlier, but she did not speak; she simply wept silently.

Seeing that Wang was about to help her up, she shifted her body, knelt down with her knees together, and began to kowtow to Wang, saying, "Auntie, I was wrong. I shouldn't have rushed out. I didn't mean to. Brother Changhe saved me and carried me back. He has been kind to me. I didn't have any other intentions. I just couldn't bear to watch him get hurt. It's all my fault. Please don't blame Brother Changhe. If you have to blame someone, blame me instead."

"What?" Mo Changhe looked at Qian Yu'er's delicate appearance, tears welling up in her eyes and falling to the ground. Qian Yu'er had taken all the blame upon herself, not wanting anyone to blame her. He was in a dilemma. She had done it to save him, and no matter what, it was a good intention. He couldn't blame her, and he couldn't let her bear the blame.

Just as Mo Changhe was about to step forward, he heard Wang Shi say, "Good girl, get up quickly. How could your aunt blame you? I'm grateful to you. Get up, let's talk in the back room. Look how messy this place is, it's not a good place to talk."

Qian Yu'er quickly glanced around. This was definitely not the place to talk. So many people had seen her fall on top of Mo Changhe. She wasn't worried about them denying it; she could talk about it later. With that thought, Qian Yu'er slowly got up, enduring the pain as she stood still.

Everyone went to the backyard and sat down. Wang Shi took Qian Yu'er's hand, patted it gently, and said softly, "Daughter, our Changhe River saved you, and today you came out to help us. We're even now. Let's not talk about any favors anymore. It's fate that you can stay at our house for a few days."

"I've only had two sons in my life, and I've always wanted a daughter. There's an old saying that goes, 'A daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket.' I liked you the moment I saw you, and I'd like to take you in as my goddaughter. I don't know if I'm lucky enough to have that."

Hearing Wang's words, Qiu's eyes lit up. Her mother-in-law was really clever; this was a good idea. If she were adopted as a goddaughter by her mother, she wouldn't be able to rely on her husband anymore. She would be like a sister to her husband, and it would be better to help her in the future than for her to become a concubine for her husband.

Mo Quan, Mo Changhai, and Mo Changhe all nodded in agreement; this was a good idea. Even if word got out that it was a case of a sister saving her brother, it would be plausible and wouldn't be gossiped about by outsiders.

Qian Yu'er was seething with anger, cursing inwardly: "You old hag, you filthy old woman! You think you can settle things by taking in a goddaughter? You think you can just send me away like that? No way! I'm definitely coming to your house. Whatever you say won't work! I'm not buying it."

Qian Yu'er cursed inwardly, but knelt down with a thud, tears instantly falling again. She avoided Wang's help and said softly, "Thank you for your pity, Auntie, but I am unlucky and do not have this blessing. A fortune teller told my fortune when I was young, saying that I should not recognize godparents, otherwise it would bring disaster to them. Auntie loves me so much, how could I harm your family?"

Upon hearing Qian Yu'er's words, a cold glint flashed in Wang's eyes. "She's definitely not a simple person," she thought. "If she doesn't want to be Changhe's goddaughter, then she wants to be his concubine. No way! I will never agree to that. If we marry someone like that, our family will never have a peaceful life again."

Before Wang could respond, Qian Yu'er continued, "Auntie, don't worry. Although Brother Changhe carried me and hugged me, it was all in a moment of panic. Yu'er is a person who cares about her reputation and would never rely on Brother Changhe. Brother Changhe and Sister are such good people, how could Yu'er bear to be between them? Yu'er is unlucky and doesn't have that kind of blessing. Yu'er is leaving now and will never come back. Auntie, please rest assured. Yu'er kowtows here to bid farewell to Uncle, Auntie, Brother, and Sister."

Mo Lan raised an eyebrow. "So you've changed your address now? You're not calling her 'sister-in-law' anymore, you're calling her 'elder sister' now. It seems she really intends to become Father's concubine."

After Qian Yu'er finished speaking, she began to kowtow. After she finished, she looked up at Mo Changhe with a look that was full of reluctance and determination.

Mo Changhe felt terrible. None of this was what he wanted. He didn't have feelings for Qian Yu'er, but he was responsible for her current situation. He was a man, and he had to take responsibility. But if he took responsibility, he would be letting down his wife.

He glanced at Qiu Shi. Qiu Shi's appearance was average; years of hard work had made her skin somewhat rough. Her skin wasn't as fair as Qian Yu'er's, and she wasn't as young or beautiful as Qian Yu'er. Yet she had suffered with him for so many years, bearing his children and raising his daughters. Even during the difficult days with his second wife, she had never complained. If things were any better now, and he were to develop feelings for someone else, causing her pain and sorrow, would he even be human?

No way! He'd rather be talked about than do anything that would betray his wife and children.

Thinking of this, Mo Changhe stepped out and knelt down with a thud.

When Mo Changhe knelt down, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Qiu's heart felt like it had been pierced by needles, a sharp pain shooting through her. Tears welled up in her eyes and finally spilled down her cheeks. Was the man about to propose taking her as a concubine? What should she do?

Wang's face darkened. Would her son be stubborn? If he insisted on protecting Qian Yu'er's innocence, things would become difficult.

A surge of joy flashed through Qian Yu'er's heart; this man was going to stand up for her. She knew he cared about her; she was so much better than his wife.

"Changhe, what are you doing?" Mo Quan even stopped smoking his pipe and shouted at his son.

"Father, Mother, it is your unfilial son who has caused you worry. Let me handle this matter myself." Mo Changhe kowtowed to the two of them.

"You'll solve it? How are you going to solve it? You bastard, look at the mess you've made!" Mo Quan was furious and was about to rush up and hit Mo Changhe.

Seeing her father-in-law so angry, Qiu was also sad and angry, but she couldn't let her husband actually get beaten.

She came out, knelt down beside Mo Changhe, and said to Mo Quan, "Father, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, how can we bear the consequences? If you want to hit someone, hit your wife a few times to calm down."

Mo Quan looked at his wife kneeling on the ground. Although she had pleaded for her husband, the sadness and pain in her eyes could not be concealed. His wife's heart was broken.

Mo Quan was about to step forward to instruct Mo Changhe, but Wang Shi reached out and grabbed him, saying in a deep voice, "Let Changhe speak."

"Thank you, Mother." Mo Changhe kowtowed to Wang Shi, then faced Qian Yu'er and said in a low voice, "Sister, thank you for rushing out to save me today. I, Mo Changhe, have no way to repay your kindness. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I, Mo Changhe, will do my best to help. As for anything else, I, Mo Changhe, will never let my child's mother down, nor will I let my children down. I will never let them lose face in public. I, Mo Changhe, am sorry, sister. I apologize to you here."

As soon as Mo Changhe finished speaking, Qiu, who was kneeling beside him, raised her head in surprise. Her eyes were still filled with tears. She hugged Mo Changhe tightly. It turned out that her man did not have that kind of heart. He said that he would never let her down in this life. She was really moved and happy.

Mo Quan also breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought the second son was going to ask to take a concubine, but it turned out he was talking about this. Look, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Madam Wang nodded slightly. Her two sons were both excellent. Regardless of their abilities, their treatment of their family was exceptional. Any other man would be overjoyed to have such a good opportunity, let alone refuse it.

Qian Yu'er's handsome face turned deathly pale. Had she heard correctly? This man didn't want her. What was wrong with her? No! Such a good man should be hers. She couldn't let him go.

"Heh." Qian Yu'er gave a miserable laugh. Despair filled her face as she slowly rose to her feet, muttering to herself, "Qian Yu'er, oh Qian Yu'er. You have no shame. How can you still have the face to live? No! You can't bring trouble to Brother Changhe. You can't let people say he's an irresponsible man. Go back. Whether I live or die has nothing to do with the Mo family. You can't make things difficult for them."

She spoke softly as she slowly took steps, looking utterly lost and dejected. From her words, it seemed she intended to go back and commit suicide.

A cold glint flashed in Wang's eyes. This woman was too good at acting. If she was allowed to leave like this, who knew what she would say about her family? But keeping her around wasn't a solution either; they couldn't let her cling to their family.
