Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, my second uncle suddenly told the manager of the ancestral hall that he wanted to move me back to the eldest son’s house.

We were all stunned for a moment, and I quickly thought about why my second uncle did this. Logically, Bu Yincong's deliberate provocation was just my second mistress's way of reminding my second uncle to do something as soon as possible while I was weak after giving birth and the child was still young. But who would have thought that my second uncle would be able to send me back to the eldest house?

I gave up my position as the head of the eldest house. According to the rules of descending generations set by my grandfather, my second uncle should have equal power with me as the head of the house. I gave up my position for the future of the eldest house, which is even better. Being the second uncle's daughter in the second house is nothing. If I return to the eldest house, I will be higher than him in terms of status. I have both name and power. What good can it do him...

But with such a good thing right in front of me, there was no reason for me to refuse. Even my uncle, who came to his senses, looked at me in surprise and smiled. He told the manager of the ancestral hall directly, and it was not a way to test me, otherwise the price would be too high. Although I was suspicious, I silently retreated with the child in my arms.

Maybe it was really that my second uncle was kindhearted and loved me for having two children? My second grandmother took this opportunity to find trouble with me. Who knows what she might do in the future. This was the only way for her to protect me.

Bu Yincong felt like a fly was stuck in his mouth, but luckily he was old and had seen a lot, so he quickly suppressed his emotions, bowed again and left. Lingling was crying, and I couldn't care about others. My second uncle asked me to rest and asked the confinement nanny to prepare milk powder. The topic was changed by the crying of the baby. My sister-in-law didn't care much about household affairs. She hugged Zhouyi and happily talked about the baby's full moon and hundred days.

"You just gave birth, I don't know if you have enough strength to go back to Linjiang?" Second Uncle smiled, holding Lingling in his arms and feeding her: "I was thinking that Shishi would go back to the eldest house. Before that, we have to say hello to the outside world. Most of the eldest house's assets are in Linjiang, so we still have to go back to Linjiang in the first full month. Shishi has been staying in Jinhai for a long time without taking care of things, so she should go back to see people first. As for going back to Jinhai in the next hundred days, we should not forget that we are all from Jinhai. What do you think?"

"Okay! Actually it doesn't matter where we do it, but Zhouyi and I must follow Shishi. Zhouyi will pester my aunt to feed her, and she has to be my Dehua!" My sister-in-law put her arm around me as if she would hold me until the end of time.

"Hey, Shishi has given birth to two children herself, and her health has always been poor. Don't tire her out. If you're breastfeeding, you'll have to slowly switch Zhouyi to formula. If you don't understand this, find some professionals to see which type is better for the child. Formula is no worse than breast milk. Breast milk is too tiring for a mother, not to mention how much pressure Shishi would have to bear with these three children." The second uncle waved his hand, looking at his granddaughter's smile that couldn't be lowered at all: "When we get to Linjiang, it's your turn, Chengcheng, to take care of your sister and sister-in-law. Nothing can go wrong."

"Don't worry, second uncle." Cheng Cheng is always very proper and polite in crowded places. At this moment, even her nod is a standard gesture of polite smile.

I couldn't bear to see him so frustrated, so I waved for someone to come over and handed Yunyun to him again: "Since you agreed, why don't you study hard! I also want to have my own Dehua."

Cheng Cheng once again transformed into a human-shaped crib, staring without moving, just staring at the sleeping baby in her arms, she almost bit her own mouth.

The second uncle laughed at Lingling and coaxed her, "Look how much your uncle loves you. He holds you like that, afraid that you might get bumped."

"I'm not feeling sorry for him, he's just a little fool!" I tapped Chengcheng's forehead and pulled his hand to hold the child tighter. Chengcheng, on the other hand, held my hand with his fingers but refused to let go, as if he would not hold me if I let go. In order to divert my attention, he started talking nonsense: "Sister, look at Lingling and Yunyun, they really look exactly the same..."

"How can twins not look alike!" I laughed out loud. Since I couldn't pinch the child's face, I pinched the younger brother. Anyway, Chengzai is too old to be deformed by pinching. He just wanted to bite when he got angry. His head tilted and bit my hand. I let out a long "ah" and pinched him again with my hand speed: "You were born in the year of the dog, you little bastard."

"You're a mother but still so childish. How old are you?" Cheng Cheng pouted, her voice getting lower and lower, and she glanced at me secretly with "bad intentions".

I just can't accept it! If someone else said this, it would be fine. But he was reborn to laugh at me for being old? What do you mean old? After two lives, I'm only... um... thirty-six, so what? Oh, I'm already thirty-six... Bah! How can I help others to be proud and destroy my own prestige! Who can deny the fact that I'm twenty-one after rebirth? Besides, what's wrong with me being a mother? I was a mother at the age of twenty-two in my last life! This time is even worse! Twenty-one this time!

Who could have thought that I would give birth to a baby for no apparent reason when I was still a child?

It’s all Gao Xinci’s fault. I really want to report him for abducting an innocent little girl!

"Yes, they look alike." The second uncle leaned forward to look at Yunyun and compared her with Lingling.

Even I, their biological mother, couldn't tell the difference at first. I could only tell them apart by the small strings of different colors on their hands. Zhizhi came over and pointed behind Lingling's ear: "Lingling has a red mole, and Yunyun has one too, but it's on her arm."

"You are very observant. You don't pay much attention to other children, but you like Lingling and Yunyun?" Second uncle looked up and smiled as if he was joking with me and Zhizhi. Zhizhi ran away without saying a word. I didn't take it seriously, and I didn't want to think about a new relationship. It was just that after Second uncle avoided the topic to ease the atmosphere, he turned to another place tightly, which caught us all off guard: "They are both Shishi's babies, and they look the same. I just don't know which one will have more potential to be the head of our Fu family in the future."

Everyone could hear the problem. I took a deep breath and felt even more helpless. Chengcheng was still sitting here holding the child. To say such things would make anyone who was suspicious and sensitive want to throw the child to death on the spot. What uncle would leave his own child and give all the money and power to his niece?

Everyone in the Fu family knew how much Cheng Cheng fought for the position of heir.

I now understand why my second uncle was willing to let me go back to the eldest house. It’s not that he spared me, but after I returned, many people would regard me as a thorn in their eyes.

I didn't expect that everyone's eyes were on me, but Cheng Cheng was nonchalant, as if nothing had happened, and her attention was still on coaxing the child: "Of course, whoever calls uncle first will get it."

My second uncle was a little confused when he heard this, but his expression quickly faded. I calmed down and thought that it would be better to say it myself instead of letting him keep it in his heart. I patted the back of his hand as a joke and said, "Are you stupid? Don't you want to have a child yourself? If you give it to your niece, your own children will cry and say that you are biased in the future."

"Lulu and I have discussed this. If we are together in the future, we only want one child, regardless of boy or girl, and both will have the surname Han." Cheng Cheng raised his head and said calmly.

This remark not only confused me, but also made my second uncle speak out of turn: "Surname Han? You still want a child?"

"Yes, Lulu is an only child and comes from a wealthy family, so naturally there must be someone to inherit the family. Besides, she worked so hard to give birth to the child, so what's wrong with taking her surname? Doesn't my sister's child also have the surname Fu?" Cheng Cheng shrugged.

The second uncle opened his mouth and managed to utter a complete sentence: "But, what about the eldest son's family property? Are you going to take it to the Han family as well?"

Chengcheng picked up Yunyun as if she was very confused. This was a rebuttal to what her second uncle had just said. He had just said that the eldest son's family business could be inherited by my daughter. In this way, wasn't he admitting that he was trying to sow discord?

Brother Qingyun was still surprised: "But, Shishi is not the head of the family, does her child have the right of inheritance?"

Cheng Cheng laughed out loud: "My sister abdicated during the Heian period, she wasn't expelled, how could the child have no inheritance rights? In my opinion, it wouldn't be impossible for her to return to the eldest house and become the head of the family again."

Uncle: "Then will you give up your seat?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head: "No."

Uncle: "That's useless!"

Chengzi: "I'm just giving an example. Besides, if I don't let my sister, can't she snatch it away? Don't you think so, sister?"

I ignored him, my thoughts were diverted again, and I turned to a very novel point. I reached out and poked Cheng Cheng, leaning over and said, "You guys are talking about this topic? Are you guys planning to get married?"

Cheng Cheng didn't answer, and her expression was a little bitter. I knew their personalities, so I just gave them a professional eye roll without asking.

"I guess they are just having a quarrel again. Never mind, let's try to make them better first." I waved my hand.

I turned around and saw that my brother had the same idea as me. He pointed at my sister-in-law and said, "If we have a second child... will the last name be Xuan?"

"All...all are okay?" My sister-in-law didn't come to her senses for a moment, and she almost jumped up and hit someone after a moment of hesitation: "You want me to have a second child?!" This hit her sore spot, and she covered her lower abdomen and cried in pain. My brother was also scared and hurried over to coax her.

The events of the day passed by in this intentional or unintentional digression. At night, when everyone had left and the pale lights had been turned off, there was only an exquisite table lamp left in front of my bed. The wall was illuminated with a warm color, and the glass frame gave a shimmering feeling. The world became quiet.

Li Xi was sick, and Zhizhi came to take care of me. The child was taken to the next room by the confinement nanny and was looked after by Chengcheng, Uncle Shao, Ji Bin and several doctors from the Hou family. I took out the jade tablet that Bu Yincong had sent me in the afternoon, and while Zhizhi was changing into pajamas and making the bed, I thought about the pros and cons of returning to the eldest house. In fact, it was simple: I had to choose between Chengcheng and my second uncle as my enemy.

The two methods naturally have different consequences. If I choose Chengcheng, and luckily defeat him, my second uncle will take over immediately. If I choose my second uncle, Chengcheng will be my helper, but I know his feelings for me, and this wrong heart will prompt him to make mistakes. Jiang Yinan is dead, and I can't guarantee that he will not force me to give up anyone again for the sake of my second uncle's peace of mind. In short, it will not be a smooth road.

These are still relatively rough lines. If I think about it in more detail, my brother, sister-in-law, brother Qingyun, and uncle, their choices will also change, so let alone the ending, I dare not even think about the closer process...

Zhizhi changed her clothes and came over to rub my head: "Don't let your imagination run wild. You need to get more rest and go to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he sat on the other bed. I sighed irritably and lifted the sign that was warmed by my body from the quilt: "Can you sleep?"

"There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. Even if life has tested people a thousand times, isn't there still a dead end?" Zhizhi smiled bitterly, and came over and stretched out his hand to take the sign away, but he was a step too slow for me. Before he touched it, the annoying thing had been thrown out by me and hit the corner of the wall, and a piece as big as my palm suddenly broke into pieces.

The "crackling" sound also made people more alert. I suddenly grabbed Zhizhi's wrist and gritted my teeth: "Do you dare to take a gamble?"

"Have you really thought it through?" Zhizhi asked me with a raised eyebrow, as if he had thought of it a long time ago.

I nodded: "Who says there are no loopholes in Second Uncle's thinking? Just like what we saw and heard today, as long as it is clear, it is not an enemy."

"I will just follow your decision. If you think the young master is not an enemy, then he is not." Zhizhi rubbed my hair again, leaned over to my level and smiled: "So can we go to bed now? It's past twelve o'clock. How long do you think you can sleep during breastfeeding? Yunyun and Zhouyi only drink breast milk. If either of them wakes up, you're doomed. Why don't you go to bed quickly while they both fall asleep!"

I gasped when I heard this and quickly lowered the quilt to cover myself. I smiled because I finally figured things out. But I don't know what happened to the evil surveillance camera. It turned back halfway after seeing something and squatted beside my bed, seemingly gloating. It pointed at the fragments in the corner.

"What's wrong?" I leaned over to look, not thinking there was anything strange.

"It's okay, I just forgot to tell you something." Zhizhi pursed her lips as if trying to hold back a laugh: "That jade plaque was cut from the highest-grade jadeite, as big as an adult's palm, emerald green all over, and it was custom-made by a well-known master. It was worth 30 million when we bought it more than ten years ago. If you don't like it, we could actually sell it, but you broke it, so it's worthless now - and if you want the old house back in the future, you'll have to pay for it yourself."

"What?!" I exclaimed. No matter how rich I am, I can't do it like this!

Zhizhi also understood me very well. He used two fingers to touch my bangs, pouted his head and said, "That's right, my little Mr. Fu. Fireworks in the whole city are not as expensive as this one. Oh, is it too early to learn the domineering behavior?"

"Then why didn't you remind me?" I covered my chest and almost passed out.

The evil surveillance camera waved his hand: "Who knew you could act so quickly? I have to catch up with you."

I was so devastated and hopeless, feeling hollowed out, and looking at the ceiling I felt a sense of being "half dead". But someone's laughter really hurt my eyes, but didn't it remind me of a solution?

I looked at Zhizhi and suddenly he revealed a cunning villain smile: "The loss money will be deducted from your salary." After saying that, he immediately covered himself with the quilt.

Now it was his turn to scream something. He rushed over to grab me but I wouldn't take him out. I could only scream in despair.

"Fu Xishi, do you want me to pay for everything from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Book House..."
