Chapter 243 The Zhou Family Wants to Recognize Relatives

Jian Yue, who was standing by, was stunned.

A strange thought suddenly arose in her mind: Such an emperor and the fifth prince are more like a father and son who love and hate each other and have a close relationship.

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Doctor Mao went back to his room, fell on the bed and didn't get up.

Although the emperor did not pursue his fault, a subtle rift eventually arose between the two of them, and they could no longer get along as they had before.

After this ordeal, Doctor Mao was exhausted both physically and mentally. When he was in the palace, he was always on edge, afraid of making any mistakes. Now that his nerves had suddenly relaxed, he felt extremely tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.

Jian Yue did not disturb him. She put the gold, silver and jade given by Queen Lin and the Emperor in the storeroom and went to the kitchen to cook. She planned to make a few side dishes by herself to calm her master.

The wife of Zhou Daxueshi, Jing, and his daughter-in-law, Qiao, came to visit Jian Yue. Upon hearing the news, Jian Yue immediately welcomed them in warmly.

"The old lady and Aunt Qiao came at the right time. I was just about to start cooking. You can try my cooking later."

Jing smiled kindly and looked at Jian Yue fondly: "Yue girl is a good girl. No matter how you look at her, she is pleasing to me. It is a blessing that you can come out of the palace safely and you should be congratulated."

Mrs. Qiao held Jian Yue's hand and said lovingly, "A good child should be loved by someone. Even God can't bear to see you being alone and helpless. Yue'er, we are here for another reason. Your master, my eldest uncle, wants to take you in as his adopted daughter."

what! ?

Jian Yue was a little stunned, then said: "Master, you feel sorry for me because I was expelled from the Yan family, right?"

Jing nodded and shook her head: "Not entirely. Your master is still a bachelor and he doesn't know if he can get married in this life. He said he was afraid that he would be alone in the future and no one would take care of him in his old age. So, he wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter."

Qiao: "You will have your own family in the future, so who dares to bully you?"

Jian Yue smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Jing said gently: "Girl Yue, you don't have to be embarrassed. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Your master is still your master. He won't bear any grudges because of your refusal."

Jian Yue was touched: "I know Master loves me and cares about me. I would love to be Master's daughter. I'm just afraid that Master will have a hard time finding a wife if he has a daughter as old as me. What if people mind Master having an adopted daughter?"

Jing couldn't help laughing: "You little girl, you just think too much. If there is such a family, not to mention your master's, even I can't get through. You are already an adult, you can earn money by yourself, you don't need them to support you, and they don't have to worry about a penny, why should they mind?"

Qiao also laughed and said, "Your master also said that if he wants to marry a new wife, she must pass your test. If you don't feel comfortable with her, your master won't want her. Your master said that you have good taste and you can definitely pick a virtuous and kind wife for him."

Having said that, if Jian Yue still refused, it would seem unreasonable, so Jian Yue happily agreed.

Jing smiled from ear to ear: "The family recognition banquet must be held in a grand manner. I want everyone in Shangjing City to know that I have adopted a good granddaughter."

Jian Yue knew that Jing was doing this to support her, so she thanked him with a smile.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jing family had lunch at the Princess's Mansion and praised Jian Yue's cooking skills. They couldn't wait to leave and go home to choose a good day to prepare for the recognition of their relatives.

In the evening, Jian Yue received the date set by the Zhou family: September 2nd.

Doctor Mao was also very happy when he learned that the Zhou family wanted to adopt Jian Yue as their adopted daughter.

The Zhou family has a clean and upright tradition, and there are no concubines in the backyard. The family is very harmonious. Such a family is suitable to be the apprentice's mother's home.

Although Jian Yue didn't care about being alone, in this era, people who cared about her were worried that without a strong family, she would be bullied by her husband's family in the future.

The Zhou family sent out invitations and made a big fuss about the recognition of relatives, but the people in the Shangshu Mansion were so angry that their mouths were almost crooked.

Jian Yue finally cured the emperor of the poison and made great contributions. The prince also regained the emperor's favor and his position as the crown prince was basically stable.

Once the position of the crown prince is stable, the emperor will not allow other princes to have other intentions. Moreover, the emperor was poisoned this time, and he knew who was sincere and who was false at the critical moment of life and death. How could the emperor not have any thoughts about his son who only wanted to usurp the throne and didn't care about his life or death?

Therefore, as soon as the emperor recovered, the second prince and his faction were left out in the cold.

Yan Xiusheng was filled with panic and secretly regretted his hasty decision to expel Jian Yue from the clan. When he heard the news that the Zhou family had recognized him as a relative, he regretted it even more.

Xiang Shi didn't have much regret. After all, she didn't like the younger generation who disobeyed her and was not under her control. Seeing her son was uneasy, she said disdainfully: "A girl with no education, whoever wants her can have her, why are you so sorry? The Yan family has this girl, it's just icing on the cake. Without her, you are still the Shangshu, and it won't have any impact on the Yan family."

Yan Xiusheng shook his head and sighed deeply when he heard this.

His mother was just a woman in the back house, she didn't understand the affairs of the court. He was too lazy to tell his mother about this.

Yan Xiusheng went to find the old man.

After all, the old man has been an official for his entire life and has a keen political sense. Perhaps, he can give a good suggestion.

Sure enough, Yan Jinnan frowned after hearing Yan Xiusheng's concerns: "If that girl is still a family with us, the emperor will be especially gracious to us even if he wants to liquidate the Second Prince's faction. But now... our Yan family is in a bad situation."

"Unless the Crown Prince dies suddenly or has an irreversible accident, the Second Prince will be in a bad situation too."

Yan Jinnan gave his son some advice: "From now on, you should gradually distance yourself from the Second Prince and don't get too close to him. Anyway, we haven't openly stated that we are on the Second Prince's side. There is another way, which is to recognize that girl back and the original expulsion from the clan will not count."

Yan Xiusheng thought of Jian Yue's temper and was a little worried: "That girl is not an easy person to deal with. Can she change her mind?"

"Go and tell your second brother that he is her biological father after all. As long as your second brother is willing to recognize her, she will be overjoyed!"

When Yan Xiuyuan woke up, there was another person in the yard. His beloved wife had returned.

Hearing the constant shouting in the room, he suddenly felt dizzy. The scene that happened in Fuqing Teahouse emerged in his mind uncontrollably. He instantly felt disgusted, shook his sleeves vigorously, and walked out of the yard.

He didn't want to see Xie Chujiao, and he didn't know how to face her. The relationship between the two of them couldn't be severed for some reason, but he couldn't live in love with her like before.

In order to appease Yan Xiuyuan, the Xie family sent away 50,000 taels of silver notes along with the person.

Yan Xiuyuan looked at the fifty thousand taels of silver, wondering what he was thinking of, and an extremely sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Xiusheng came in person...
