If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 329 Separation
The next morning, in the backyard of Mr. Wang's house.

Xue Cui'er still lives in the original courtyard.

She originally worked as a personal maid for the old master, so of course she had to live near the mistress so that she could take care of the old woman.

The old man lived in the main house, and Xue Cui'er lived in a small, low room next to it.

Now that she has been transformed from a maid into a concubine, she can be considered to have entered the family.

However, the old gentleman's old furniture, ornaments, jewelry, early dowry, etc. were all divided up by his two sons.

This is also the custom of this era.

A wife’s dowry does not even belong to her husband, it can only be inherited by his sons and daughters.

A second wife must not take over the dowry and personal property of the previous mistress.

If the Wang family was not only slightly wealthy and their place was not very big, Xue Cuier would have to move to another courtyard and vacate the old courtyard.

Xue Cui'er became a concubine from a maid, so naturally she didn't have much dowry. The room was empty and looked very... Not that it was shabby. Xiaoyu felt that it was simpler and more comfortable.

"How did you feel when the sun was in your arms that night?" she asked Cui'er curiously.

Cui'er was in good health. She was a little rounder and fuller than when she was a girl. She was in high spirits. She couldn't be described as "high in spirits", but her face was rosy and she looked refreshed. In her emerald green jacket and skirt, she looked like a red chrysanthemum blooming in the morning sun, and she actually had the aura of a mistress of the house.

"Without the sun in my arms, I didn't feel anything at all. I didn't have any dreams, and I didn't see any gods or divine things. It was just the same as any other day." Cui'er had been asked this question by many people, and she answered fluently at this time.

She gently stroked her belly, looking a little worried, "I also hope that he is just an ordinary person, born safely and grows up healthy."

"He will be born safely and grow up healthy, but he will probably not be ordinary."

Xiaoyu stared at Cui'er's smooth and full forehead, saying words against his will.

She had barely gotten into the basics of Yi-numerology, far inferior to the old Taoist priest, but she could still see a hint of foreboding between Cui'er's brows.

——It is difficult for this baby to be born safely. What sins did he commit in his previous life to have such heavy evil and murderous aura!

Cui Er's face became more worried when she heard this, and she lowered her voice and said, "Yesterday evening, Cheng Jijiu from the Qinghe County Prince's Mansion brought an old Taoist priest to see me.

The master was very unhappy and didn't want them to enter the house.

Cheng Jijiu was very adamant and insisted that the old Taoist priest meet me, saying that he was following the king's order."

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "It's not surprising that the Li family has such a reaction. On the way to your house, I heard several neighbors muttering that your son has the aura of an emperor.

The sun was in my arms, the whole garden was filled with red light, and a strange fragrance filled the air. It was indeed like the scene in the book where the sage king was born."

——The person who forged these visions is simply a fool! Even if there is a piece of precious jade in Sister Cui'er's belly, it would be better than the current situation.

Cui Er smiled bitterly and said, “Even though I am an uneducated maid, I know that Xishu has existed for ten thousand years.

There has not been a change of dynasty in ten thousand years.

Now that the rebellion of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms has just subsided, and West Shu has become a small China in the Xisha region, I would rather believe that I can give birth to an immortal than believe that he has the aura of an emperor. "

——Have you ever thought about why Western Shu existed for tens of thousands of years without any change of dynasties?

Xiao Yu muttered in her heart, and asked: "What did Cheng Jijiu say after meeting you?"

"Cheng Jijiu didn't say anything, but the old Taoist priest with long eyebrows——"

"Is it Taoist Shuilong?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Cui Er was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know him? I don't know his name. When he faced me, he was always silent and didn't introduce himself.

Cheng Jijiu also simply explained his identity.

However, the Taoist's eyebrows, sideburns, and beard were all dark blue, hanging down to his chest like a dragon's beard.

One of the heads looks a bit like a dragon head."

"Isn't it Taoist Shuilong? He is my friend." Xiaoyu laughed, "What did Taoist Shuilong say?"

Cui Er said with a bitter face: "He didn't tell me. He turned the compass in front of me twice and then left the yard.

I heard from my master that the child in my belly was suspected to have dragon energy, and he also said that he was a bit ominous and wanted me to be infected with some evil spirits.
Oh, I really hope to have a daughter.

If it was a son, he would probably be watched by the court all the time."

"Dragon Qi, strange."

Xiaoyu didn't sense the dragon energy, but he believed that Taoist Shuilong would not do anything without a purpose.

She grabbed Cui'er's hand and comforted her, "I will come to see you often in the future. No matter what happens, don't just stand there alone. Tell Mr. Wang first, then say hello to Widow Huang in the backyard, and she will notify me.

You don't have to worry about Cheng Jijiu and Shuilong Taoist. I will talk to them later.

Even if you are really pregnant with a real dragon, I can help him guarantee it to the Li family."

"How to guarantee?" Cui'er was a little expectant but also a little confused.

"As long as I am alive, your son will never threaten the Li family's kingdom."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, she smiled and asked, "After I said this, do you and Mr. Wang think I am taking the initiative?"

Cui Er smiled bitterly and said, "I just hope that your guarantee can be recognized by the Li family. I also believe that the master has never had any delusions."

"Don't worry, the Li family would probably like me to make such a guarantee." Xiaoyu said in an affirmative tone.

If she wasn't so self-conscious, the Li family would definitely listen to her.

She just believed that the Li family was not stupid.

The Li family has been able to pass down its legacy for thousands of years, so they must have had no shortage of ruthless means. However, being ruthless and decisive can only be the secondhand of "shrewdness and wisdom", and it is not possible to eradicate hidden dangers by being ruthless alone.

No matter what level of "noble" Cui'er's son was in his previous life, he could not be a lonely person.

Someone helped him fake the vision of the nativity!

Cui'er's son is just a fetus now and will be a child in the future. He is easy to target, but how will the people behind the scenes react?
With this understanding and concern, the Li family's attitude towards the third son of the Wang family should be very twisted.

She took the initiative to take responsibility and became a "buffer" between the Li family and the Wang family. Why would the Li family refuse?
"Mr. Wang, are you waiting for me?"

Xiaoyu muttered to himself in Cui'er's room for more than half an hour. When he said goodbye and went out, he saw Lao Wang pacing back and forth at the gate of the yard.

"I need your help with something." Mr. Wang walked up to her, glanced at Cui'er who was shyly lowering her head, and then said, "I plan to divide the family property again, and I want you to be a witness."

"Re-divide the family." Xiao Yu had a lot of questions in his mind. He opened his mouth but didn't ask any of them. He just nodded and said, "I am definitely willing to help, but I am young. Can I be a witness?"

"As long as you like, let's go to the front yard."

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Wang turned his head and said to Cui'er, "You come too."

Lao Wang probably didn't do this on impulse. There were already five people sitting in the front yard.

Mr. Wang’s two sons, their wives, and a white-haired old man.

After entering the house, Mr. Wang only introduced the old man to Xiaoyu - an old uncle who also had the surname Wang.

He is not Mr. Wang’s biological uncle, and barely even his cousin. He is a bit far away, but he lives very close to him.

Although Xiaoyu had never spoken to the old man, he looked somewhat familiar to her.

Just as she was about to salute, the old man hurriedly stopped her, "Fairy Yu, although I am old, I cannot bear your gift. Without your magical power to put out the fire, my family would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire."

"Then thank me and I will bow to you." Xiaoyu said with a smile.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "No, it won't work. You helped Tianmen Town solve the ghost problem on Guaizi Mountain and saved hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers. You are a Bodhisattva-like figure. If you bow to me, I will lose my blessings and shorten my life."

Xiaoyu had no choice but to bow to him as a greeting.

Instead, the old man half bowed to her - and she raised her hand to support him.

Mr. Wang's two sons, accompanied by their two reluctant wives, also bowed to Xiaoyu.

"Xiao Fengxian is an old neighbor, but she is being so solemn that it makes people feel uncomfortable," the eldest daughter-in-law Nie was still muttering.

To be honest, Xiaoyu agrees with this statement very much.

But in this situation, she, a daughter-in-law, said such words.
Xiaoyu saw Uncle Wang glaring at her, Mr. Wang looked helpless and sighed softly, the big king stammered and nodded in silence, and Xiao Wang glanced at his sister-in-law with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Xiao Fengxian, you not only know her, but you must also know her reputation. We just happened to meet her today, and we are honored to invite her to be a witness for our Wang family."

Mr. Wang raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then looked at his two sons and said directly: "Shouren, Shouyi, your mother passed away a while ago, and I divided the family once.

The farms outside the city and the shops inside the city have been registered under your names.

The cash in the house was also divided into two and put into your private vault.

After I die, you can divide this house into two parts. You can sell it or live in it, it’s up to you.

All he had to do was leave a yard and a maid for Cui'er, and give her two taels of silver every month until she remarried.

If she stays in the Wang family, you will have to take care of her until the end of her life.

If you die before her, your son will take care of her."

"The situation has changed now. You have a younger brother." Mr. Wang's old face turned slightly red, showing both embarrassment and joy.

Xiaoyu saw that the first and second kings also showed pure joy, but neither of the two wives was happy.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Nie, looked at her father-in-law with a little contempt in her eyes. Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to agree with her.

In addition to contempt, Nie was more nervous.

The daughter-in-law Zhang is obviously the only daughter of a wealthy family, but she is so nervous at this moment that her handkerchief is almost twisted to pieces.

Xiaoyu was a little confused at first, but she felt relieved when she thought of her father's reputation as "Zhang Yizuo".

Tianmen Town has a very developed trade, and ordinary people often become rich through trading. Zhang Yicu is one of them.

But even though he became a rich man, he still kept the habit he had when he was poor: he only put a handful of rice in every cooking.

"The night before yesterday, there was a strange phenomenon of a noble birth in our family. Perhaps the third child is really a little extraordinary."

Mr. Wang twirled his beard and said with a smile, "Since he is born extraordinary, he does not need a family fortune.

All you need to do is raise him until he is eighteen years old, and then let him go out and work hard on his own.

The farm and the shop shall remain yours, and the house shall be divided equally among you.

You don't need to raise Cui'er anymore, she has her own son.

Just one thing, when the third brother leaves, you must each take out two hundred taels of silver.

Even if the third brother wants to go out and explore the world, he can’t go out empty-handed.”

The boss looked hesitant, but didn't speak immediately.

When Mr. Wang saw this, he called out his name and asked, "Shouren, what do you say?"

The eldest brother hesitated and said, "Now that the third brother is not even born, no one knows what the future will be like.

It’s better to wait until my third brother grows up.

If he is truly talented in both civil and military matters and has the ability to achieve great things, my second brother and I naturally won't have to interfere.

In case he fails to make a name for himself outside, we have to make sure he gets married and starts a family.

If you want to start a family and build a career, four hundred taels of silver may not be enough.

After all, he still has to support Cui Er!"

His wife Nie glared at him fiercely.

Old man Wang shouted, "You are disrespectful. Cui Er is your aunt now!"

The eldest brother quickly apologized and called Cui'er "Auntie" with an awkward expression.

Mr. Wang looked at the second brother.

The second brother lowered his head and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense, but father made such a big scene today, even Xiao Fengxian and Uncle Jiu——"

"Asshole, do you think you can call her 'Xiao Fengxian'?" Old Man Wang shouted again.

"It doesn't matter. Brother Wang and I are old neighbors. We will call each other the same way we called each other in the past, and we will still call each other the same way now and in the future," said Xiao Yu.

"Alas, Fairy Yu, you are so young, but you already have the demeanor of a generous elder." Old Man Wang said with emotion.

Xiaoyu's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing how to respond.

The second son of the Wang family continued, "Father made such a big fuss, he must want a definite guarantee.

Brother, let’s each take out two hundred taels and give them to father.

If Third Brother needs anything in the future, we will help him."

The eldest brother nodded and said, "Second brother, what you said makes sense. Father, what do you think?"

Mr. Wang knew his two sons very well, so this result did not surprise him.

He said, "You don't have to give me the silver. I have witnesses here. I believe you will not break your promise."
