He Zipei remained silent.

Mrs. He wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a sob: "Now adoptive Qinghe's child, you can still bring him up, pave the way for him, and be a support for Niu Niu. In this world, besides Niu Niu, there are only him and my uncle. His blood relationship is the closest, and he was brought up by my uncle and you alone, based on this alone, the Qin clan will not have too much opinion."

"What's more, he came out of the Zhongyonghou's mansion, and now he has a single family, so there won't be too many forces behind him..."

"Mother," He Zipei endured, looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Mother is tired, sister-in-law helps mother go down and have a rest."

Mrs. He grasped her hand and asked, "What are you worried about? Tell your mother, is it true that you don't recognize me as a mother because of the past?"

"Mother, where did I say I didn't recognize you? It's just that Junde and I have never thought about it. In our opinion, these two children are similar to our grandsons. There is really no need to stick to one surname."

"Then how are you going to meet the ancestors of the Qin family in a hundred years—" Mrs. He supported the table with heartache and said, "My child, mother knows that you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you can't even believe in your ancestors."

A moment of blankness flashed in He Zipei's eyes, then he shook his head resolutely and said, "Mother, Junde and I have our own decision on this matter."

As early as many years ago, the husband and wife reached a consensus that there is no need to wrong the younger generations for the sake of the ancestors, let alone hurt the feelings of the present for the sake of the ancestors.

The most important thing is that they live happily.

Seeing her daughter's stubbornness, Mrs. He almost fainted from anger.

At the door, Li Baolu saw that the old lady was unable to get up, so she hurriedly supported Heart's hand and pushed the door open to enter.

The backs of the three people inside froze, and the stagnant atmosphere was pierced with a "boo", Madam He hurriedly turned her head and greeted Li Baolu with a smile, "You are back, come and see, your two children are really good , has been motionless since falling asleep, not even humming, is it easy to carry?"

Seeing that Mrs. He had recovered, Li Baolu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's as easy to carry as their sister."

Mrs. He saw her sister-in-law sitting there with a stern face, she sighed slightly, helped Mrs. He up and said: "Little sister, I will go to the front hall with my mother first, and you will come back later."

He Zipei nodded, leaning on the table to stand up, Li Baolu hurriedly stepped forward to support her arm.

Mrs. He sighed slightly when she saw that they were as close as mother and daughter, envy flashed in her eyes.

Although my sister-in-law has no son, she has raised Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, which is no different from having a son. The key is that her niece and daughter-in-law are as close as mother and daughter, which is much better than her.

Mrs. He helped Mrs. He to leave, and He Zipei's body went limp, and if it wasn't for Li Baolu's support, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Go get a glass of hot water."

Li Baolu is a pregnant woman, hot water and boiled water are always available in the house, and Hong Tao quickly brought a bowl of hot water.

Li Baolu fed her and drank it, and was relieved when she saw her complexion improved slightly.

Heart quietly retreated, closed the door and guarded the outside.

"Did you hear everything?" He Zipei asked hoarsely.

"Roughly the same."

He Zipei patted her hand wearily and said: "Whenever there is a disturbance, everyone really jumps out. Don't think that the old lady speaks bluntly. There are many people who think the same as her, and even go too far."

Sitting opposite He Zipei, Li Baolu asked softly, "What do aunt and uncle think?"

He Zipei looked at Li Baolu and sighed, they had never discussed this topic with Qing and Chunxi, now that she asked, it was inevitable.

"Actually, we wanted to adopt Qinghe a long time ago," He Zipei said softly: "When Qinghe was just born, we thought about it once. It's not about adopting, as long as he takes his mother's surname Qin, whether he will adopt or follow his mother in the future We have the final say on the surname, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend."

At that time, neither Qin Xinfang nor He Zipei thought that they could have children, so the moment Gu Jingyun was born and the behavior of the Gu family made the Qin family hate them.

"But we dare not."

He Zipei sighed, "Back then we had too many enemies and too much power. Once Qinghe was surnamed Qin, even if he only followed his mother's surname, I'm afraid those people would turn the truth upside down and say that they adopted Qinghe, and he would have a good family name by then. It becomes a crime."

So they didn't dare to let Gu Jingyun's surname be Gu even though they hated the Gu family in their hearts.

"When we returned to the capital, your uncle and I thought about this again, but we didn't say it out. It was just that after thinking about it later, we found it unnecessary."

"The Qin clan is too large, with countless branches, and the two of you don't aspire to power and wealth. Adoption to you is not a help, but a drag. Your uncle and I think that sacrifices to ancestors are important, but we don't care about the dead. It’s the reason to embarrass the living, so we didn’t mention it.”

Both she and Qin Xinfang knew that as long as they mentioned it, Gu Jingyun would not hesitate, and the Qin clan would not be able to resist even if they had opinions, because Gu Jingyun was brought up by their husband and wife. The closest person in the direct line.

But they didn't mention it, they just didn't want Gu Jingyun to fall into Qin's vortex.

Since they were all reluctant to let Gu Jingyun, who was extremely intelligent, fall into it, how could they let a baby who was just about to be born fall into it?

He Zipei looked at the two children on the small bed lovingly and said, "Chunxi, don't worry, I will not separate you mother and child."

Li Baolu couldn't help smiling, hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Auntie, even if they adopt you, we don't have to separate mother and child."

He Zipei heard the softness in Li Baolu's words, and was slightly taken aback, "You and Qinghe prefer to adopt the child?"

Li Baolu leaned on her shoulder and said softly, "Auntie, it doesn't matter whether you are adopted or not, as long as you and uncle are happy."

If the issue of the heir made Uncle Qin and the others withstand so much pressure, it was so embarrassing, so what about adoptive?

It's just that she and Gu Jingyun will work harder in the future.

But as long as the old people are happy and can have no regrets, what's the point of their hard work?

Li Baolu felt that there was nothing in this world that Gu Jingyun's IQ couldn't solve, if there was, then add her force.

Listening to Baolu's careless but warm answer, He Zipei couldn't help but have red eyes.

When she had finished acting coquettishly, she pushed her and said, "Go to bed quickly, don't catch a cold, the most feared thing in confinement is catching a cold, a bad one will lead to the root cause of the disease."

He Zipei pushed Li Baolu back on the bed, wiped away her tears and went out to entertain guests.

After all, she is the master, so she can't stay in the room all the time, it would be too rude.

There were a lot of guests outside, and He Zipei couldn't stop socializing when he went out. He didn't find time to talk to Qin Xinfang until late at night when everyone was resting.

She mentioned her mother's words to him, Qin Xinfang was silent for a while and said: "The people who came from the clan today also hinted to me that they want me to choose a child from the clan to adopt. Ouyang and senior brother also came to me , let me make a decision early."

"Why do they..."

"They are also doing it for my own good, for fear that the Qin family will cause chaos, which will affect Niuniu in the future."

"Then what do you mean?"

Qin Xinfang rubbed her forehead and said, "Why don't we hand over the branch to Chengyu after a hundred years."

Apart from the direct lineage, Qin Chengyu's is the closest blood relationship to them, and Qin Chengyu is also the acting patriarch now.

However, He Zipei's face darkened, and he objected: "No, no one can hand it over to Qin Chengyu's branch, otherwise we will really have no face to meet our ancestors. Why is it difficult for our direct branch to be born? It's not because of their branch. The ancestors of..."

"Then let's go." Qin Xinfang waved his hand and said, "Even if they make trouble, no matter what they do, it won't short our incense."

He Zipei twisted his waist angrily when he heard his irresponsible words.

On the other side, Gu Jingyun sneaked into the inner room to see his wife and sons after coaxing his daughter to sleep.

The nuns who were resting outside turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. It is said that men should not move forward when women are in confinement, but accidents always happen in their family.

Young Master Biao stayed overnight in the delivery room on the day Young Mistress Biao gave birth, and then went into the delivery room every day to talk to Mistress Biao.

Gu Jingyun looked at his sons with his head, and saw that there were teardrops hanging on their eyelashes, he couldn't help asking distressedly: "Are they crying?"

"I guess it was too noisy today, which frightened them. I woke up suddenly for a while just now, but fell asleep after eating milk."

It is good to have a small child, except for the trouble of frequent breastfeeding, it is easy to take care of the rest of the time.

After seeing the child, Gu Jingyun sat down on the chair beside the bed, held her hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's bothering you? I can see that you are frowning."

"Today Mrs. He brought up the matter of my uncle and aunt's adoption. I think my aunt feels very uncomfortable. The pressure on my uncle must be quite heavy, right?"

Gu Jingyun thought of the turbulent undercurrent at the banquet today, nodded slightly and said: "It seems that it is because we gave birth to twins."

Li Baolu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a good thing we didn't bring it out before, otherwise we would have been annoyed to death a few months earlier?"

Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand, pulled up the blanket to cover her stomach, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

After a pause, Gu Jingyun looked up at her again and asked, "Bao Lu, you don't mind if the second child is adopted?"

Li Baolu shook her head, "Even if I'm the adoptive, I'm still his mother. He just changed his name to uncle, aunt, grandpa, and grandma. Master and mother will suffer, as long as they don't mind."

Gu Jingyun smiled when he heard the words, bent down and pressed a kiss on her forehead, and said in a low voice: "What you said is that the ones who suffer are the master and the mother." For no reason, one grandson was lost, and one grandnephew was added.

It's just the Qin family. When the Great Chu was in such chaos, he dared to meddle in fighting for the throne for the Supreme Emperor. Could the Qin family be more chaotic and complicated than a country?

More than ten years is enough time for him to smooth out his son.
