Xu Sumin handed the candied haws in her hand to her son. Seeing the little guy eating happily, she couldn't help smiling slightly. The atmosphere was just right, and suddenly she heard Qiao Liu's indifferent voice behind her.
"Hey, I thought it was a good wife and mother, but it turned out to be Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu really has a lot of leisure time, and he has time to take his son out shopping!"
The smile on her face froze for a moment, but she quickly covered it up, gently wiped her son's small mouth, and then glanced at him: "Right now, Sixth Master Qiao is not looking for your confidante to listen to music Eating wine and strolling in this street, the sun really came out from the west."
Qiao Liu snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on the white, tender and round body beside her. The little guy smiled sweetly at him while biting the candied haws. The smile made him suddenly feel warm in his heart, as if someone was watching him. He scratched the tip of his heart, itching.
"Fat boy, what's your name?"
Will this woman raise a child? Raising this little guy so fat and round, like a bulging meat bun, people can't help but want to pinch it when they see it.
"My name is Dundun!" The little guy replied loudly.
"Dundun? What the hell is that name!" Qiao Liu squinted at Xu Sumin with a look of disgust.
"I want you to take care of it!" How could Xu Sumin fail to see the disgust on his face, glared at him, picked up her son and left.
Qiao Liu didn't want to follow at first, but somehow his legs seemed to be conscious, and when he realized it, he had already followed behind Xu Sumin's mother and son like a tail.
"What are you doing with us?" After all, Xu Sumin had a ghost in his heart, and he was not very happy to let him have too much contact with Dundun.
"Could it be that Mr. Xu bought this road?" Qiao Liu raised his eyebrows with a look of foolishness.
Knowing that this man has a thick skin and no one can do anything about him playing a scoundrel, Xu Sumin simply ignored him, and got into the carriage with his son in his arms, but the next moment, Qiao Liu sat down next to the coachman, completely following him to the end. look like.
"Get down! This is my family's car!" Xu Sumin chased him angrily.
"When did Master Xu become so stingy? You still have time to spend with your son. It can be seen that there is nothing important today, so why not just say hello to me! Isn't it? Chubby!" Looking at the curtain of the car, he asked about the little guy inside.
"Yes!" The next moment, the little guy answered in a childish voice, so happy that he clapped his hands, "So you are really called Chubby!"
Such a distinctive nickname, one knew it was given by the woman who always wanted to save trouble, and he silently said the name of Dundun several times in his heart, and finally he couldn't help laughing.
"Fatty, haha, fat..."
Xu Sumin in the car gritted her teeth, if she hadn't considered that there was still a son beside her, she would have kicked that nasty man away.
"Fatty, come out and let your uncle hug you." He smiled recklessly for a long time before saying to the little guy inside.
"Don't go!" Didn't hear the little guy's answer, but heard Xu Sumin's voice clearly stopping it.
"How stingy, I won't eat him." Qiao Liu muttered.
For some reason, he should hate this son Xu Sumin gave birth to another man, but every time he saw that little face, his heart softened involuntarily.
He thought, probably because this kid was born like his mother, not like his father who has never shown his face in front of him so far!
However, when he thought that Xu Sumin was married, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he drooped his head listlessly. After a while, he realized that the carriage passed by was not far from the British government, so he simply jumped out of the carriage, frightened. Xu Sumin, who was opening the curtain and looking out, turned pale.
It wasn't until she saw him standing firmly on the ground and waving goodbye to herself that she breathed a sigh of relief, cursed secretly, and forcefully lowered the curtains.
As soon as she turned around, she met her son's curious clear eyes, and the small dimples on both sides of her mouth were faintly visible, so she couldn't help but reach out to poke him.
"Dundun will not be able to learn from him in the future and act as if he is not in shape."
The little guy couldn't understand what she said, so he just smiled at her foolishly. Her naive and funny appearance made her laugh.
She hugged him into her arms, kissed that chubby face, and said with satisfaction: "What's wrong with the fat one? It's the fat one that hurts, right?"
Children just need to be fat!
"Yes!" The little guy smiled and answered his mother crisply.
But it was said that Qiao Liu went to the British Duke's mansion by himself, and the servants in the mansion saw that it was him, so they didn't even report him, and took him directly to Wei Junhang's study.
When he walked in, he saw Wei Junhang pointing his younger son to paint. When he noticed his arrival, he just glanced at him, then lowered his head to teach his son patiently.
Qiao Liu didn't bother their father and son, he found a bench and sat down familiarly, and the clever servants brought exquisite tea, he took a few sips of tea, and sat chatting for a while, unknowingly From time to time, he looked at the father and son beside the desk.
Those two people, one big and one young, one old and one young, have a very similar face, so that people can tell the blood relationship between the two at a glance.
He was suddenly a little envious.
Back then Wei Junhang especially liked to hug his youngest son to show off everywhere, he just wanted to announce to the world that he had a youngest son who looked very similar to him, the pride made people itch.
"Where did you come from?" Wei Junhang finally got some free time, and casually greeted him who was sitting and having tea in his spare time.
"I met Master Xu and her chubby fellow on the road, and we talked to her a few words, and then we came over to sit down." Qiao Liu casually poked a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth.
"Fatty?" Wei Junhang was slightly startled, then smiled, "You mean Mrs. Xu's son? That child is indeed likable."
It is indeed pleasing, but it is a pity that the woman gave birth to another man! Qiao Liu thought to himself.
The more he thought about it, the more bored he felt, and when he looked at his face that looked like Wei Junhang curiously at his propped on the desk, he suddenly felt a little envious.
"Seeing you father and son getting along like this makes me want to have a son too!" He sighed.
"I thought you would say marry a wife first." Wei Junhang laughed.
"That's not important, it's not important." He waved his hand, afraid that Wei Junhang would say anything about getting married, so he made up some random reason and left.
"What are you doing arguing with that Mrs. Xu on the street today?! What a shame! I warn you, I don't care how you mess around outside, just one thing, don't even think about marrying some dubious girls back home !" Just returned to the mansion, the old Duke who had been waiting for him for a long time scolded his head and face.
Qiao Liu has long been used to being scolded by him, but today when he heard his words full of contempt for Xu Sumin, he suddenly felt a little bit dissatisfied.
"Father, she is not some kind of woman! Even His Majesty in the palace appreciates her talent."
After a pause, he laughed at himself again: "You old man, don't think too much, you don't look down on him, and he doesn't look down on me, your son!"
"Bah! She is a shameless woman who gave birth out of wedlock. She should have been soaked in a pig cage long ago. How could it be her turn to jump around and despise others!" the old Duke was furious.
"What about having a child out of wedlock? People have already..." Qiao Liu subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
That's right, didn't Wei Laoer say that she was married? What about her husband? In the past half a month, he has seen her and her son every time, and has never seen her legendary husband.
Could it be that she is not married at all? But if you haven't married yet, how did you get so fat
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind, his heart was beating violently, he couldn't sit still any longer, he hurriedly said "I still have something to do" and ran away amidst the old Duke's scolding.
"Master in our house? Where is the master in our house?" The old servant at the gate looked at Qiao Liu suspiciously.
Sure enough, Qiao Liu suppressed the excitement in his heart, managed to remain calm, said a few words politely, turned and left, got on his horse, and decided to ask the woman who was full of lies.
But after looking around, he learned that Xu Sumin had asked someone out to discuss business early in the morning. He wanted to chase after her, but he gave up when he saw a chubby figure.
This chubby Dundun is over two years old this year, counting the days... He suddenly became excited, and walked towards Dundun who was sitting obediently on the couch eating snacks with big strides.
The guards originally wanted to prevent him from approaching, but they thought about the relationship between this person and the head of the family, and then looked at the two maids who had been taking care of Dundun pretending not to see them, allowing Qiao Liu to walk in, and simply turned their faces away To the side, a look of 'I didn't see'.
"Fatty Dundun." He moved closer to Dundun, trying to squeeze out a smile, trying to make himself look more friendly.
Dundun, who ate so much that the corners of his mouth were full of snacks, recognized him, and smiled at him with his small mouth, which made his heart soften.
"Wowo, you have it too, and Dundun has it too!" Suddenly, the little guy stretched out his fat finger and poked the corner of his mouth, and then poked his own, smiling smugly.
Qiao Liu didn't react at the beginning, but when he saw clearly the naughty dimples on both sides of the little guy's mouth, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand to wipe off the snacks on the corners of his mouth himself. Scum, let the two little nests be more clearly reflected in front of my eyes.
The big hand was trembling slightly because of the excitement. He held the little guy's face and sized it up carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he looked like himself. He couldn't hold back any longer, so he hugged him abruptly and held him between his arms. He raised his armpit high above his head, eliciting a scream from the child.
"Haha, Dundun, this must be my fat Dundun!"
The little guy was amused by him and giggled, and the joyful laughter filled the room.
"Is this okay? If Madam finds out, will it expose us?" Outside the house, the maid in blue asked in a low voice.
The person in green beside her cleared her throat and said in a low voice: "If there is another person who knows what's cold and what's hot by Madam's side, I will recognize it even if the skin is peeled off."
She has worked hard for most of her life, even though she has tens of millions of wealth and shocked those with ulterior motives, the tiger also has to find someone to support her when she is dozing off, so that even when she is dozing off, someone can protect her. Don't leak.
The blue-clothed maid thought about it for a while, and found it reasonable, so she simply started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because the big and small ones in the room played more and more crazy.
When Xu Sumin came to pick up her son, she heard his son's clear and loud laughter from a distance, and the laughter was mixed with a man's deep voice. Her eyelids twitched, and she immediately quickened her pace.
After entering the courtyard, he saw his son sitting on Qiao Liu's shoulders, holding his head in his small hands, his round face was flushed red, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Is that you? What are you doing? Put him down quickly."
Seeing that she was back, Qiao Liu obediently put the child down, watched the little guy run towards her 'thump-thump', grabbed her skirt and called crisply: "Mom!"
Xu Sumin pinched his cheek and wiped it for him, then took his little hand and walked into the house.
"It's getting late, so I won't see off Sixth Master Qiao, please go ahead, Sixth Master!"
Qiao Liu cheekily followed behind her, watched the maid take Dundun down for cleaning, and then asked sternly, "Whose child is Dundun?"
"Of course it's mine." Xu Sumin blushed without heartbeat.
Since she dared to bring Dundun back to Beijing, she had long thought that such a day would come, and she already had a plan to deal with it.
The sound of splashing water and cheerful laughter came from the clean room, and Xu Sumin knew that this kid must be mischievous again, rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't have time right now, you go first!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for his answer, he hurriedly entered the clean room with his skirt lifted.
"Dundun, don't splash anyone!"
Qiao Liu couldn't get the answer, and originally wanted to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he turned in a different direction, strode out, and rode to the British residence, intending to ask Shen Xinyan what happened.
"... She only said that the child's biological mother is her, and her biological father is also her." Hearing this from Shen Xinyan's mouth, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Fart, she gave birth to such a big child by herself?!"
"Huh? Do you have dimples?!" The next moment, Shen Xinyan said in surprise.
He covered his mouth reflexively, faced Shen Xinyan's suspicious eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, one day, I will teach that hateful woman..."
He didn't say clearly what he wanted, and ran out of the British government in a huff.
Dundun must be his child, it must be!
After walking a certain distance, his heart has gradually calmed down.
The woman's eyes were high above her head, and even though she had dealt with many schools and schools of thought, she was definitely not the kind of person who would show mercy everywhere, so Dundun must have been left behind that night that year.
Dundun is his son, hehe, Qiao Liu finally has a son...
The more I think about it, the more elated I become, and even my walking steps are like stepping on clouds.
Barely suppressing it all night, early the next morning, he couldn't wait and rode his horse to Xu's residence.
"Master Qiao Liu, are you going too far? After all, I am also a woman from a good family. If you come here so carelessly early in the morning, others may say something ugly when they see it." Xu Sumin's face was very uncomfortable. Yu.
Qiao Liu sneered: "Since when did you, Mr. Xu, care about other people's words? Hypocrisy! Find a reason to kick someone out and find someone reliable!"
"What on earth are you here for?" Xu Sumin roughly guessed his purpose, but still pretended to be confused.
"Come to see my son." Qiao Liuyi sat down on the teacher's chair, and said casually, "By the way, settle accounts with my son's mother!"
After lying to him for three years, it's time to settle the score.
Seeing that she had guessed well, Xu Sumin immediately calmed down and took a seat opposite him: "Who is your son?"
"Pretend, you continue to pretend, just admit it honestly now, if I send someone to investigate... hum!" Qiao Liu sneered.
Although he never mentioned what he did in private, but Xu Sumin has known him for many years, so how can he not know that this person is a good scout, if he really asks him to investigate, his old background may be exposed by him.
"So what if it's your son?" So, she admitted quite simply.
"Sure enough, I knew that apart from me, you wouldn't be able to give birth to such a smart and cute child!" After getting an affirmative answer, Qiao Liu's eyes lit up, and he laughed, thinking why the weather is so good today .
Xu Sumin: "..."
So, does he want to praise his son, or use his son to praise himself
"No, no, I have to go back to the mansion to find the old man, and let the old man find a matchmaker. No, it's better for my sister-in-law to come forward for this matter..."
Hearing what he said, Xu Sumin's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed him who was overjoyed: "What are you going to do? Why are you looking for a matchmaker?"
"Look for a matchmaker to propose marriage? We even have a son, shouldn't we get married?" Qiao Liu said naturally.
"Of course not!" Unexpectedly, Xu Sumin refused categorically.
"What?! What do you mean?!"
"That's what it means on the surface. We're destined to be a dew husband and wife. What kind of relationship will we have?"
"You!!" Qiao Liu glared angrily, and asked each word after grinding his teeth, "What is the fate of Lushui husband and wife, please explain to me clearly!"
"Don't be annoyed, just listen to me. I'm already at this age. I'm not going to be a good family member. I'm going to be a sixth lady who doesn't go out of the door for you? How can this account be settled? Unfortunately, how could I agree!"
"Besides, Dundun is here with me. He is the future head of my Xu family. If he goes to your house, what future will he have?"
"What do you mean you will have no future if you go to our mansion, it's just nonsense!"
"If you calm down and think about it, you will know that what I said is true. If you think about your family, is it possible that they will agree to you marrying me? I know you will insist, but I don't want to get involved in these matters."
"I won't stop Dundun from recognizing you, I just want to keep the status quo."
Qiao Liu's chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took him a long time to force himself to calm down.
"You can give your child the glory and future, so can I!"
Seeing his persistence, Xu Sumin was a little annoyed: "But I don't want to be bound by you!"
The two stared at each other, not giving in to each other. Dundun, who walked in without knowing when, was looking at them curiously.
A few days later, Shen Xinyan learned of Dundun's life experience from Wei Junhang, and heard Wei Junhang sigh: "Qiao Liu is suffering from a headache now, how can Mrs. Xu's temper be subdued, and she is forced to take her son away It’s not impossible to do it.”
"This guy has finally met his nemesis. He obviously wants to get married right now, but he can't tell the mansion that he has a son and dare not admit it openly."
"Sister Xu will not agree to marry him." Shen Xinyan's tone was firm.
With Xu Sumin's temperament, how could she marry into that kind of rich family who restrains her hands and feet. As for the government of Liguo, I'm afraid they won't accept this kind of woman who shows her face and wanders in the market, and she is still a widow with an illegitimate child.
Therefore, it is impossible for Qiao Liu to marry Xu Sumin!
In fact, it was exactly as she expected, the two had been entangled for more than a year, and finally reached a consensus to maintain the status quo.
"It's nothing, you can recognize the child if you want to, don't think about other things." When finally free, Xu Sumin lazily said to Shen Xinyan.
"The old man knows that he has a grandson, so can he just ignore him?" Shen Xinyan doubted.
"Of course he said that he wanted to take the child back to the mansion. As for me, the child's mother can also be given the status of a concubine. I have been talking about it for half a year. I refuse, and no one can force me."
"They don't dare to make a fuss. If it goes out, I don't care. I'm afraid they can't stand the gossip." Xu Sumin smiled.
The most important thing is that she is not alone, since she has earned so much money for the man in the palace over the years, no matter what, that man will not ignore her.
Thinking about it, the old man in Qiao Liu's family slowly came to terms with it, so he had to let go.
"At the end of the day, Dundun has two names." Shen Xinyan laughed.
Xu Sumin was also a little helpless.
In Xu's family, Dundun's name is Xu Qiao. In the Qiao family tree, Dundun is Josh.
What a simple name!
"So, a woman has to stand up on her own. If she is weaker, not only will her son be taken away, but she may not even be able to save her own life!" Xu Sumin concluded.
"If a weak woman, she wouldn't be able to do such a deviant thing like you!" Shen Xinyan gave her an angry look.
After a pause, she said sincerely again: "Thank you for Brother Rong's matter!"
"You don't have to thank me. If he is a fool who can't do anything, I won't keep him." Xu Sumin disagreed.
A few days ago, Qi Rong, who left home to venture out, suddenly asked someone to send money back to Jing'an Bo's mansion, one part was given to Jing Anbo, and the other part was given to his sister Qi Fang.
Shen Xin and Yan Shunteng managed to find out his whereabouts. It turned out that he was working in a shop in a small town far away from the capital. What's more, the shop was still under Xu Sumin's name.
With the whereabouts, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had a bad relationship with Shen Xinlan, it was really difficult for her to feel bad for that tough-tempered brother Rong. A person who doesn't take other people's kindness for granted, but finds ways to support himself, this kind of heart alone is far better than her parents Hundreds of times.
Children like this deserve to be treated well!
