The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1182 - 272: Adopting a Son for You_2

Mo Heng was also busy, took a short break, and then quickly left the house.

When Xie Yi finished eating and saw Mo Heng’s retreating figure, she looked thoughtfully. Upon returning, she heard news from the Zheng family, relayed by Xie Ze, that the Wei family had proposed that Wei Shu return to the family, and the An family had already agreed. They decided to act first. Since Wei Shu was Mo Heng’s old lover, rekindling their past romance after her return could mean that Mo Heng couldn’t see anyone else.

Taking advantage of the busy New Year period when Pei Qin was also preoccupied with guarding against that Wei Shu and too busy to notice her, Xie Yi planned to seize the opportunity to win over Mo Heng!

The Zheng family had obtained the information, and soon the gossips knew as well. Eldest Young Master An had passed away, and the grandmother from the Wei family, known as Mo Heng’s old lover from his younger days, was returning. Would she compete with Pei Qin for her husband? After all, Mo Heng had established his own household and needed a son to continue his lineage. Since Pei Qin couldn’t conceive, she’d have to find someone else to bear his children!

The news spread quickly through the Capital Jingcheng.

As An Zhouyuan’s body had just undergone the initial mourning rite and had yet to be buried, rumors that Wei Shu was to remarry Mo Heng spread everywhere, causing Madam An to nearly faint in anger. "My son isn’t even buried yet! Where are these words coming from?"

However, as rumors grew fiercer outside, even people from the Wei family had long communicated with Mo Heng through letters. Old Mr. Wei had been Mo Heng’s teacher, and everybody in the streets ended up talking about facilitating the union.

Fang Hui wished to fan the flames further, but cursed her luck for not having a daughter nor any young girls in the family to take advantage of the situation. She went around telling people that since Pei Qin couldn’t conceive, even if Mo Heng didn’t divorce her, he would have to remarry a secondary wife to have sons. When the other woman bore him a son, even if Pei Qin was capable, she couldn’t blame anyone if her own body was failing. She could only suffer silently!

Feng Bo stopped her, "She’s so dominant, she might not agree to Mo Heng marrying that grandmother from the Wei family to have sons. They can’t conceive themselves, they can perfectly adopt a young boy from their relatives."

This struck Fang Hui like lightning as she looked towards her grandsons. Li Hualing was pregnant again with one, already having two sons. It would be good to have a daughter next so their family girls could marry into wealthy houses. But if there was already a ready-made solution, why think decades into the future?

She immediately pulled Feng Bo aside, "Are you suggesting we let our Yu Lang be adopted by Pei Qin?"

Feng Bo nodded, "It’s unlikely they’ll be willing."

"Would acknowledging someone else’s child make them happy? Acknowledging our Yu Lang—they actually have blood relations! They’re real kin!" Fang Hui, suddenly impassioned, hated most that Pei Qin had cut ties with their family, refusing to acknowledge her as an aunt. Their life hadn’t been worse but grew more affluent and glorious! She had lowered herself several times, begging, but they still didn’t recognize them.

This time, if they recognized Yu Lang for adoption, he would become the future heir of Tiance Mansion!

Upon hearing this plan, Feng Shouxing’s eyes lit up, "If it really happens, our family will make it big! You don’t know, Mo Heng’s title as Marquis of Xining is hereditary! Once Yu Lang is adopted, he’ll be the Marquis in the future! And the whole Tiance Mansion would belong to our Yu Lang!"

With the plan settled, Fang Hui’s family immediately decided to pay them a visit. As for Li Hualing’s opinion, there was no need to ask.

Fang Hui gritted her teeth, took some money to have one-and-a-half-year-old Feng Yulang dressed from head to toe, washed clean, and then brought him to Tiance Mansion.

Pei Qin had been busy since early morning until noon without moving an inch. She had explained chemistry to Jiujiu Little Radish last night and slept too late, in dire need of energy replenishment. When the carriage stopped, she thought she had reached home, puzzled as to why she hadn’t heard the gatekeeper greet her, she lifted the curtain and stepped down.

Liu Feng was sitting on the carriage, saw her coming down, but remained seated, coldly watching the Fang Hui family blocking the carriage.

Lu Hai pulled Pei Qin back to sit down, "The Feng family has stopped the carriage."

Pei Qin had already noticed and yawned, "What’s the matter?"

Fang Hui immediately carried her grandson forward, smiling widely, teaching him how to greet, "Call her cousin auntie! Quick, say cousin auntie!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Feng Yulang, more than a year and a half old and already able to talk, looked at Pei Qin in the carriage, not dressed extravagantly but riding in a big carriage, who could provide him delicious food daily and money to spend, and shouted loudly, "Cousin auntie!"

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow.
