The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress
Chapter 47 Kuo Er (2)
Hua Fuyue died, and now he has only one concubine daughter, Hua Fuying, under his name.
Hua Jingqian has been thinking these days, should he take this opportunity to bring Kuoer back?
It was also the old lady's urging in the past two days that prompted Hua Jingqian to make up his mind and feel that this was a good opportunity to give Kuoer an identity.
As soon as he brought Kuoer back home, he took him to see the old lady without stopping.
The old lady had just finished dinner and was sitting in the room drinking tea and resting. Seeing Hua Jingqian coming into the room with a child, the old lady put down her teacup in confusion and asked:
"Whose child is this?"
Hua Jingqian replied:
"Alas, my son planned to go see an old friend today, but when he got there he found out that the old friend had passed away, leaving only this child.
The child had no other relatives, so the old friend had to ask someone to send him all the way to the capital and ask me to take care of him."
It turned out to be just the child of an old friend.
The old lady waved her hand indifferently and said:
"In that case, just keep him in the mansion and tell others that he is a distant relative."
Hua Jingqian was of course not satisfied with this arrangement, and he suggested:
"My son thought that since Yue'er had just passed away, it would be better to raise the child under Sun Ruhui's name."
His own son knew very well that Hua Jingqian was definitely not a righteous person.
Now, he has gone against his usual behavior and actually wants to raise someone else's child under his wife's name.
The old lady narrowed her eyes when she heard this.
Seeing that there were still a few servants in the room, the old lady waved her hand to drive them away. When only the mother and son were left in the room, the old lady lowered her voice and asked:
"Tell me the truth, whose child is this?"
Seeing that his mother already had a guess in her mind, Hua Jingqian no longer concealed it and admitted:
“This is your grandson.”
The old lady was so happy that a grandson suddenly appeared.
He raised his hand and called the boy to his side. Looking at him carefully, he actually found some similarities between this child's face and Hua Jingqian's childhood.
"Oh, look at these eyebrows and this little mouth, they look so much like you when you were a child!"
"My child, I am your grandmother."
Kuoer called out in a baby voice: "Hello, Grandma~"
Hearing her grandson call her grandma, the old lady's brows were filled with joy.
With wrinkles all over his face from laughing, he kept replying:
"Oh~, my dear grandson."
As he spoke, he glared at Hua Jingqian and reproached him:
"Why did you bring my grandson back just now? Over the years, my good grandson has suffered so much outside!"
Hua Jingqian quickly bent down and apologized to his mother.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's really about Sun Ruhui..."
If it weren't for Sun Ruhui's father, Hua Jingqian would not have been able to hold the position of Minister of Works.
Sun Ruhui was very strong, so Hua Jingqian had no choice but to give in to her.
If she had not been able to give birth to a child two years after marrying into the general's mansion, she would not have agreed to let Hua Jingqian marry Concubine Lin.
Later, after Sun Ruhui gave birth to Hua Fuyue, Hua Jingqian no longer had any reason to take a concubine.
If I suddenly bring back a son, Sun Ruhui would probably fight me to the death.
"I've seen Sun Ruhui change a lot now. She didn't object when I suggested you take a concubine.
I was thinking whether I should tell her about the child, let her know that this is your biological son, and then raise him carefully as your own child."
Hua Jingqian objected:
"Mother, this is inappropriate. If Sun Ruhui knew that I had a son this old, she would be so angry that she would complain to her father.
After all, my father-in-law is from the Dali Temple, and he might be useful in the future."
The old lady nodded, thinking that what Hua Jingqian said made sense.
Although the second branch is now dependent on the crown prince, the Dali Temple cannot be offended.
"Then what about the child's biological mother?" asked the old lady.
"I just married Luluo, so it's not a good idea to take another concubine in the short term. I'll bring Yu'er back to the mansion when I have the chance, so that they can be reunited."
The old lady nodded:
"That's fine. But you have to settle that concubine down. Don't let her cause any trouble because of Kuo'er and implicate my grandson for no reason."
"My son understands."
Early the next morning, Hongxiu, who was beside the old lady, came to Jiaming Hall again.
"Miss San, the old lady wants to see you."
Hua Wu Ke has changed a lot in recent times, so Hong Xiu doesn't dare to make trouble anymore and respectfully invites Hua Wu Ke.
When Hua Wu Ke arrived at Jinghua Hall and took a look, he sneered in his heart.
The old lady couldn't wait to give her grandson a title, and even called all the influential people in the general's mansion.
Even the chief steward was there.
As expected, as soon as Hua Wu Ke sat down, the old lady spoke:
"Everyone is here, I have something to announce."
The old lady gently pulled Kuo'er, who was standing beside her, in front of her and continued:
"This is the child of Qian'er's old friend. He lost his parents and has no other relatives. My son felt sorry for him and decided to raise him in the mansion."
After a pause, the old lady looked at Sun Ruhui and said to her:
"This child is still young, why not raise him in your name and treat him as your own child, so you will have someone to rely on in the future?"
Sun Ruhui thought it was just a simple adoption of a child, but she didn't expect there would be such a thing. She said:
"But he is an adopted son after all. Should we raise him as a legitimate son?"
"When you raise him up, he will be your child.
Even if the child born by Luluo is under your name, she is still the biological mother. But this child is different. You will be the only mother from now on."
Let’s coax Sun Ruhui into agreeing first, and we can talk about the matter of the concubine later, the old lady thought.
In fact, Sun Ruhui didn’t care about the issue of having a child or not. She only thought about when Hua Wuke could overthrow the prince and Ye Buhuo, and she would be satisfied.
Seeing that the old lady was trying hard to persuade her to accept the child, she agreed.
Seeing that Sun Ruhui accepted the child, Hua Jingqian breathed a sigh of relief and then said:
"Since this child is already the legitimate son of my general's mansion, let's find a good day to include him in the family tree."
The old lady echoed:
"When a good day is calculated, I will add my grandson to the family tree."
Hua Wu Ke, who had been silent, interrupted them:
"We'll have to wait for Grandfather to come back and decide on the family tree."
Hua Wu Ke was actually looking forward to the scene where they would ask their grandfather to include him in the family tree and then he would expose Hua Jingqian.
The old lady glared and said dissatisfiedly:
"I asked you to come here today just to be a witness, and you really dare to interfere in the affairs of our second house!"
Hua Wu Ke snorted unceremoniously:
"The matter of the second branch? Can the second branch change the family tree?
Is Second Uncle eager to replace Grandfather and exercise the rights of the head of the family? Or is Second Uncle planning to split up the family and set up his own business to be the head of the family himself? "
These three questions left the old lady and Hua Jingqian speechless.
Hua Jingqian was originally afraid that waiting for Hua Zhukong to come back would be long and winding. If any news leaked out, Hua Zhukong might not agree to include Kuo'er in the family tree.
He wanted to take advantage of Hua Zhukong's presence at the border to execute him first and report later, but he didn't expect Hua Wuke to hold on to the fact that he was not the head of the family.
Hua Jingqian smiled awkwardly and replied:
"Sui Sui is right. Second uncle was not thoughtful enough. We should wait for father to come back and make the decision on this matter."
