Chapter 5
  Song Zheyan is the eldest grandson of the second wife and is eight years old this year.

For the Wei family, it would be a great benefit to have Song Zheyan worship Xie Jinyun as his legitimate mother.

The Xie family is full of nobles and has produced many champions. The late Mr. Xie was once the chief minister of the cabinet. Now the second son of the Xie family is expected to take the top spot. The Xie family is afraid that the tide will rise again.

The most important thing is that the third son of the Xie family is very good at business and makes a lot of money.

How can such a big piece of fat be cheap for a little beggar?

Wei Shi refused.

Mrs. Song was a little angry and said in a cold voice: "Zheyan's father and mother are not dead, what are you doing here?"

"That's not what you're saying, mother, do you know what you were doing just now? If you can solve a big matter like adoption in just a few words, then you have to ask our Song family whether we all agree, even if it's your nephew's daughter-in-law. If you don't choose Zheyan, then there must be a more suitable child in our Song family. If you ask a beggar to be your niece's legitimate son, your daughter-in-law will never agree."

"You..." Mrs. Song almost spit out blood.

Who called Mrs. Wei to her courtyard? This troublemaker.

"Second Aunt, the old lady is not in good health. Don't talk to the old lady like this. We need to discuss anything." Xie Jinyun was very happy to see it, but he couldn't let Mrs. Wei make Mrs. Song angry to death.

It's so damn cheap for this old thing.

"Jin Yun, I pity you for staying a widow for seven years for my Qian'er. The idea of ​​adopting a step-son is not something you can think of in a day or two, but you have the final say in this matter. Since you like this child so much, just take him in. , let’s just give more benefits to the clan, as long as you are happy.”

Wei Shi was anxious.

Xie Jinyun also refused straight to the point: "Old lady, Jinyun doesn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter, and the Hou Mansion has no successors. In the future, when Zheyan grows up, he can hand over the Hou Mansion's family property to Zheyan. I Wouldn't it be very contradictory to bring back a stepson for nothing? When the time comes, should the direct bloodline of the Song family inherit the title of the Marquis, or should my adopted stepson inherit the family business? What if someone who is thoughtful thinks of this child elsewhere? It’s the illegitimate son that my husband kept outside during his lifetime.”

Mrs. Song almost broke the teacup, her face looked panicked and ugly. When Mrs. Wei heard Xie Jinyun's words, she made another sharp remark: "That's it, if Song Qian hadn't died in the battle seven years ago, looking at your attitude, mother, I would have really thought that the child was Qian'er's. As for an illegitimate child, it’s unreasonable to protect a child of unknown origin like this.”

"You..." Mrs. Song was really angry this time: "Get out!"

Mrs. Wei was startled, with a sly expression on her face. Realizing that she had gone too far, she stood up and said, "Mother, please don't be angry with your daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Song saw that nothing could be done today, so she thought of sending Mr. Wei out of the house in two days and then discussing with Xie Jinyun about the adopted step-son.

"In this case, we will discuss this matter later. Let's leave the child in Cisong Hall to recover first. Mother Li, you take the child down first."

Mother Li took Song Liang's hand and exited the hall.

Mrs. Song changed the subject and asked Xie Jinyun about changing the locks in the warehouse: "Jinyun, I heard that you asked the lock-changing master to change the locks in the yard?"

"Yes, I was about to talk to the old lady about this." Xie Jinyun said: "I have been in charge of the house these years. In order to maintain the previous expenses of the Hou Mansion, I also put in a lot of money from my own dowry. Jinyun I feel that it is not a good idea to let people from my mother's family support the Hou Mansion all the time. If there are gossips outside, it will ruin the centuries-old reputation of Yongning Hou Mansion. In the future, the Hou Mansion may have to cut back on expenditures."

The eyelids of the old lady and Mr. Wei both twitched fiercely.

They have always known that the Hou Mansion can maintain its previous expenses only because of the gold and silver that Xie Jinyun moved from the Xie family, but no one has broken this window.

Now that Xie Jinyun said it in public, it would be hard for them to pretend to be confused.

She was sent to the Marquis Mansion to stay a widow for seven years, and even took advantage of others' dowry. If word spread about this, how could the Yongning Marquis Mansion still gain a foothold in Yanjing?
