Chapter 1761: Chapter 1699: Don’t Make Yourself Unwelcome

Steward Mei took Hua Wushuang’s orders, settled the details, and then asked about Xiao Changsheng.

"Young Master, Xiao Changsheng, has he taken the Mei surname?"

"Yes." Hua Wushuang said, "After paying respects to my mother, I will open the ancestral hall and inscribe Changsheng’s name onto our family genealogy."

Steward Mei was taken aback and said, "What do you mean?"

Hua Wushuang lowered his beautiful eyes and said, "Uncle Mei, I don’t plan to marry, and it’s unlikely I’ll have offspring. I originally thought of adopting someone with good aptitude from within the clan into my name in a few years. Changsheng’s appearance has conveniently relieved my worries. I intend to inscribe Changsheng into our branch of the Mei Family and groom him to be the next heir."

Steward Mei’s eyes dimmed slightly, and he advised, "Would you reconsider? If you remain unmarried, even Old Madam would be restless even in heaven. Even a daughter would suffice."

Hua Wushuang’s eyes grew distant as he indifferently said, "When people die, the lamp extinguishes; whether there’s a next life, who can say? Whether souls exist, it’s even harder to ascertain. So, my mother won’t be able to see it. And as for me, I’ve never considered marrying."

"Young Master..."

"Uncle Mei, please don’t persuade me anymore. Right now, I’m quite content, and you’ve seen it; doesn’t Changsheng resemble me? He was born for our Mei Family." Hua Wushuang said, "Even if I find someone to have offspring, they may not resemble me as he does!"

Steward Mei choked up and sighed.

"Changsheng is very important; he was born prematurely, weak, his physique much frailer than other children his age. Therefore, Uncle Mei, select trustworthy and reliable people to care for him. He must be well-nourished." Hua Wushuang said gravely, "If anyone dares to neglect him, kill them!"

Steward Mei was shocked to the core and said, "I understand!"

"Jiang Yusheng has taken another concubine?" Hua Wushuang asked.

Steward Mei sneered, "What else is he good at besides that?"

"I don’t care how messy his household gets; none of his people are allowed to step foot in the old residence, especially now." Hua Wushuang said, "Send out the order, cut his expenses in half. I don’t have spare money for him to squander on concubines."

Steward Mei agreed and sighed, "Old Madam shouldn’t have let them stay back then."

Hua Wushuang remained silent.

"It was because you were the only one, and in case anything happened, they could at least provide some support. With additional branches backing in, how could one have thought... rubbish is rubbish."

Hua Wushuang picked up his tea; support? Ridiculous!

One wrong step leads to more mistakes.

Meanwhile, Khor Jun was whining to her mother, "Mother, I haven’t seen Uncle in so long. Why did you pull me away so quickly?"

Her brother, Khor Zheng, scoffed, "If you want to cling to Uncle, you should first see if he wants to see you. Can’t you read the room? Didn’t you notice the impatience in his eyes?"

Khor Jun glared, "Who said Uncle was impatient!"

Khor Zheng rolled his eyes, sitting lazily on the couch, looking as if he couldn’t be bothered to speak to an idiot.

"Mother, see, he doesn’t respect me as his elder sister at all." Khor Jun pouted.

"Alright, your brother isn’t wrong. Don’t annoy your uncle." Jiang Yufang’s face carried an unsolvable sorrow and grievance.

Her whole life she stayed subservient in front of her legitimate mother, finally got married and had a pair of children, just as good days were in sight, she became a widow. Now, she’s back at her brother’s place looking for sustenance, how could one be comfortable?

"I heard elder brother brought two nephews and nieces back?" Jiang Yufang looked at the servant girl in her room.
