Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 326 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 7

"It just so happens that Nanny Lin who is by my side has never had a child of her own. I think this child is lovely, so let's register the child under Nanny Lin's name."

"No!" The old lady immediately refused, her face looking a little ugly.

Zhai Lingruo looked at Jiang Niantan who was sitting on the old lady's lap. "I can trust Nanny Lin's character. Besides, she has never been married. Although she has an adopted son and a daughter-in-law, they have been married for several years and have no children. It would be a good idea for this child to stay with her."

If Jiang Niantan is really an orphan without a father or a mother, it would be a good idea to register him under the name of the housekeeper nanny in the Marquis's Mansion.

But he is not. He is the old lady's great-grandson and Jiang Huaiqing's biological son. How can it make sense for him to be someone else's son and call them his father and mother?

The three-year-old Jiang Niantan suddenly got off the old lady's lap. His round little face was very cute. He staggered towards Zhai Lingruo and tugged at her sleeve, "Mom."

"Pfft." Zhai Lingruo laughed out loud, "Grandmother, look, as soon as I mentioned Nanny Lin, the child couldn't wait to call her mother. It seems that he is destined to be with Nanny Lin. Otherwise, let's decide it now. I will ask Cui'er to call Nanny over, and everyone present will be a witness."

Zhai Lingruo knew that the little bastard was calling her "mother", but why should she acknowledge him? Just because he called her mother, she would open her heart and lungs to this ungrateful bastard. It was a nice thought.

The male protagonist only let the original owner go to the temple to end her remaining life, but this adopted son took her life with a bowl of poison.

The original owner was very sincere to Jiang Niantan. When Jiang Niantan had a high fever and was sick, the original owner took care of him personally without taking off her clothes. She waited until Jiang Niantan's fever subsided before she went to rest. Children of a few years old are naughty and playful, and they always get hurt from bumps and bruises. The original owner took the best medicine and gently applied it to him. It can be said that she treated him as her own child.

There was a time when Jiang Niantan didn't like studying and only liked cricket fighting. It was the original owner who became a strict mother who turned him around and used the reputation of the Zhai family to invite a great scholar to teach him personally, which allowed Jiang Niantan to pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer.

Li Xintang just wanted her child to live a carefree life. Sometimes when she saw her son working so hard, she always felt that the original owner was too harsh and treated her son badly.

If a concubine's son from a wealthy family is deliberately spoiled by his stepmother, she may naturally let him go out to fight crickets or visit brothels with young masters for fun. However, the stepmother will never let her own son indulge in fun. She will usually raise him strictly and never let him go astray.

The kindness of the original owner made Jiang Niantan hold a grudge. He already had memories when he was three years old, not to mention that Jiang Huaiqing would take him out of the house from time to time to reunite with Li Xintang. Every time he saw his gentle biological mother, Jiang Niantan would always feel that his biological mother was better, unlike his adoptive mother who only knew how to make him study hard and pass the imperial examinations.

He didn't remember any of the kindness the original owner had shown him. He just thought she was too strict and always forced him to study with the great scholar. Others who wanted to ask that great scholar for instruction had no chance the last time, while Jiang Niantan monopolized all of the great scholar's instruction.

Things that are obtained too easily may often be not cherished.

Zhai Lingruo didn't want to raise the child, nor did she want to register him under her name.

The old lady opened her mouth slightly, almost being fooled by Zhai Lingruo. She quickly stopped him, "No, this child and I are destined to be together..."

"Yes, grandmother. That's why I plan to let Nanny Lin register the child under her name and treat him as the grandmother. If you miss the child later, you can call the three of them and bring him over to you. It will surely be great for the child to have a grandmother and a father and a mother." Zhai Lingruo covered her mouth and chuckled, looking like she was considering the child very much.

After all, Nanny Lin's adopted son and daughter-in-law had never been pregnant, and they wanted to adopt a child and raise him/her so that there would be someone to see him off when he/she was old. Therefore, Zhai Lingruo's words were impeccable in the eyes of others.

"Good boy." Zhai Lingruo squatted down and looked at Jiang Niantan at eye level. "Although your family is extinct, you will soon have a new grandmother and parents who will love you."

The old lady was almost vomiting blood because of her words. What did she mean by all the family members were dead? She and Qing'er were still alive and well, but she couldn't show it on her face. After all, she was the one who said that the child's parents were dead.

The old lady felt a breath of depression in her heart. No, she couldn't let Nian Tan be registered under Nanny Lin's name. Nanny Lin was brought here by Zhai Lingruo. If Huai Qing missed the child and went to visit the child, Zhai Lingruo would find out sooner or later.

“This child cannot be registered under Nanny Lin’s name!” the old lady said in a louder voice.

"Why? Doesn't grandma like this child too?" Zhai Lingruo opened her eyes slightly, as if puzzled.

"Because Madam Cui also likes this child and wants to adopt her as her grandson. How can you take away someone else's wish?" The old lady thought for a moment before speaking. Madam Cui was hers, and it was always better for her to stay with Madam Lin.

"Is that so? Then let Madam Cui come over and recognize her now." Zhai Lingruo sighed slightly.

The old lady had no choice but to call Aunt Cui and ask her to acknowledge Jiang Niantan as her child.

Jiang Niantan seemed to sense something was wrong. After all, when he entered the mansion, his father said that there would be a beautiful woman who would be his mother temporarily. The old lady had also asked him to be a little sweeter and call the woman who had just entered "mother" and ask her to recognize him.

But now, he recognized the nanny who was obviously a servant of the old lady as his grandmother.

With alarm bells ringing in her heart, Jiang Niantan quickly grabbed the hem of Zhai Lingruo's skirt with her small hands, "Mother, mother, mother."

"It seems that the child still wants to go to my place. It is better to keep him with Nanny Lin." Zhai Lingruo gently pried off the fingers on the hem of her clothes one by one.

"Nian Tan is tired, why don't you take the child away?" The old lady was afraid of causing trouble, so she hurriedly asked someone to carry Jiang Nian Tan away.

The matter was over. Zhai Lingruo ignored the old lady's ugly expression and left.

Not long after she returned to her room, Jiang Huaiqing came. He was filled with anger and looked directly at Zhai Lingruo.

"Why don't you acknowledge the child?" Jiang Huai was furious and directed his anger at Zhai Lingruo.

"Young Master, the Marquis' Mansion has acknowledged it. Isn't it under the name of Madam Cui?" Zhai Lingruo looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Huaiqing suddenly came to his senses and realized that he should not question his wife. He couldn't let her find out that the child was his own.

For a moment, Jiang Huaiqing wondered if Zhai Lingruo knew something, but looking at her expression, it didn't look like she knew something, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to let the child into the house.

Jiang Huaiqing let out a long sigh, "You know I can't have children, so it will be beneficial for both you and me to have this child under your name."
