Chapter 224: The Houmen Madam Nursery School has started (10)
Upon hearing Bu Shian's words, Marquis Cheng'en's eyes lit up.
Isn't this just like the one who is close to the water gets the moon first?
It seems that she is just a playmate for the little prince for a limited time, but if she seizes the opportunity, she can easily become a study partner, a close party member, or even a future celebrity and important official.
If this son wins the favor of the higher-ups, there will be many people in the court who would like to curry favor with him.
As a father, doesn't it give him the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to climb up?
The more Marquis Cheng'en thought about it, the more excited he became, and even his breathing became faster.
"Madam, there is one right here at your doorstep, why bother looking for it elsewhere?"
He suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise wildly, and looked at Bu Shian with a deep and affectionate look that was for your own good.
"Madam, look, this child is exactly the same age as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I am his father, and his mother is too shameful to be seen in public."
"If you register him under your own name, you won't have to deal with all those parental issues."
"Besides, he has no one else to rely on. After he adopts you, he can only rely on you to be obedient and take care of you in the future."
As he spoke, he seemed to imagine some wonderful scene, and in a hurry he reached out to grab Bu Shi'an's hand.
He was not annoyed at being avoided, but became even more excited.
"The most important thing is that he is in the mansion now."
"As long as you agree, we can immediately ask the elders of the clan to open the ancestral hall for adoption, so that he can accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today to cultivate their relationship."
People are more likely to lose their composure when they are excited.
This point is vividly demonstrated in Marquis Cheng'en.
He seemed to have forgotten that he had just been beaten mercilessly by Bu Shian.
He also forgot that the child had just caused a scene at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion with his biological mother, disregarding their reputation and dignity.
All he could think about now was that this was his chance to soar to the sky.
He became complacent right after he started, but the next moment he was slapped in the face by reality.
As a fragrant breeze blew in his face, he was slapped in the face.
Bu Shi'an stood in front of him, clamped his chin with one hand and forced him to look back.
The other hand gently gathered back the hair that had been knocked off by the slap on Marquis Cheng'en.
Under the puzzled and horrified gaze of Marquis Cheng'en, Bu Shi'an smiled without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"My Lord, am I giving you face?"
"You actually thought I would let your illegitimate child step on my favor and use my status as my legitimate son to climb up the social ladder."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Looking at the strange Bu Shi'an, Marquis Cheng'en didn't even make a move to resist, but just swallowed nervously.
"Husband... Madam... I... am your husband..."
The cold hand slapped Cheng Enhou's face, which had just been slapped red, neither lightly nor heavily.
"Zhao Ye, do you think that everyone in this world is a fool except you?"
"I know exactly what you and your delicate cousin are planning."
"I said I was giving you face, but you, a fool, didn't appreciate it at all."
"Your proposal, let alone whether I agree or not, is so difficult for you to get past in the palace."
"You don't think that the Queen would be willing to let her only son come into contact with a child born out of wedlock who has ascended to the throne, do you?"
"Believe it or not, the moment you adopt that bastard, the palace will issue an order to take the Crown Prince back, and then accuse your Cheng'en Marquisate of contempt for the royal family."
"If you want to die, fine. I won't stop you. But if you want to use me to get me into trouble, no way."
She said as she pulled her hand back and kicked the side of the wheelchair.
Under the action of the force, the wheelchair instantly lost control and fell diagonally backward.
Marquis Cheng'en Zhao Ye was already panicked by these words.
As the wheelchair fell backwards, he felt like he was going to fall sideways to the ground, and he was scared to death.
In panic, he screamed and almost fell over.
Until the wheelchair was stabilized against the rockery beside him, the stone debris on it fell down and landed all over him.
When he realized that he didn't fall to the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Immediately afterwards, his wheelchair, which had tilted on the rockery, was straightened and a handkerchief was blown directly on his face.
"Wipe it yourself, don't expect me to serve you."
Marquis Cheng'en didn't dare to say a word, and honestly used his handkerchief to brush off the stone fragments on his head, face and body.
Only after he had tidied himself did Bu Shian put on a smile again and push the wheelchair.
"Let's go, my Lord. Go meet your future 'legitimate son', the one you'll support for the rest of your life."
Marquis Cheng'en said nothing more, which was considered as his tacit agreement to the proposal of adopting from a side branch.
Anyway, not agreeing won't change the status quo, and will only result in sarcastic remarks and threats of beatings, so it's better to agree.
Anyway, he was adopted from a relative of the side branch of the Marquis' Mansion. Strictly speaking, he has the same blood as him, and he has to call him dad from now on.
It doesn’t matter whether he is your biological son or not.
In this way, the two reached a consensus and came to the back door of the Marquis' Mansion.
There, gathered several little boys aged between six and ten.
They either kept their heads down and remained silent, or followed the old servant who brought them here, or looked around curiously.
Bu Shi'an pushed Cheng Enhou to the corner and silently looked at the boy who was sent there.
Seeing the person who was already waiting, what else could Marquis Cheng'en not understand?
All of this was planned by this woman Zhuang Shuqin.
But even if you know it, what can you do? When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
He could only hope that if he behaved himself, this woman would let bygones be bygones.
Furthermore, he swept his eyes over the children.
They are all children from side branches, so it doesn't matter who this woman is adopted by. He has to pick the one he likes and favor him.
While Marquis Cheng'en's eyes were rolling around, Bu Shi'an had already taken a quick look around.
Finally, she fixed her eyes on the boy who was squeezed into the corner, whose clothes were obviously ill-fitting and whose body was too thin and small.
After observing and selecting the person in secret, Bu Shi'an pushed Cheng Enhou over.
Seeing them coming here, the housekeeper who was responsible for watching these people and preventing them from running around immediately stepped forward and handed a stack of information to Bu Shian.
When Bu Shi'an was looking through the information, the child who was obviously in a leadership position among the group took the initiative to come in front of Marquis Cheng'en.
He bowed and greeted him generously, then looked at Marquis Cheng'en with admiring eyes.
"Hello, uncle. I often hear my father mention you at home, and I admire you very much."
"When I learned that you were interested in adopting a child, I immediately asked my father to send me here."
"I know I don't have any outstanding talents, but as long as I can meet you once, I will have no regrets."
Marquis Cheng'en couldn't remember which branch of the family the child came from, and he knew that he had no achievements worth mentioning.
But who doesn't like to hear nice words?
One of them wanted to flatter, while the other was flattered and felt a little closer to the other, and the two began to talk.
The more they talked, the more satisfied Marquis Cheng'en became with the child.
This satisfaction even exceeded that of his own son.
Just when he was hesitating about how to start the discussion with Bu Shi'an, Bu Shi'an on the other side finished looking through the information.
"Who is Zhao Xiu?"
