The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 513 It’s not that simple

The wife of Marquis Wu'an looked at Liu Banruo with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart how to bring up this matter to the Marquis.

Liu Banruo, her nominal daughter, is actually one year older than the Marquis's legitimate daughter Zhao Songnuan.

In other words, even Zhao Songyan has to respectfully call her sister.

That night, when Marquis Wu'an returned home, his wife came forward to greet him personally, helped him change his clothes and clean his face, taking care of him in every possible way.

The Marquis has been quite cold to her recently, and she would not have come to disturb him unless there was something important to discuss.

At this moment, she stood quietly beside the Marquis, waiting for the right time to speak.

"My Lord, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Mrs. Wu'an Hou said softly, handing over a cup of jasmine tea she had brewed herself.

Wu Anhou took the teacup, took a sip, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Madam sighed softly and said, "Today, Concubine Liu mentioned that she has no relatives in the capital, and her grandfather Liu Lan was far away in Lingnan. Since the emperor allowed her to live in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, she wants to recognize us as her adoptive parents. Marquis, what do you think about this?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu'an frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "This is not appropriate. Although the emperor has placed Concubine Liu in the Marquis's residence, he has not explicitly told us that we can adopt her as our adopted daughter. If we accept her, it may be suspected that the harem is colluding with the previous dynasty. This marquis does not want to get involved in this mess."

The lady knew the Marquis’ concerns, but she also knew Liu Banruo’s purpose.

She wanted to use the Marquis's power to gain a foothold in the harem.

However, the Marquis has always been cautious and would not easily get involved in court disputes.

But she had already promised Liu Banruo. She secretly groaned in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

"Liu Banruo is also a pitiful person," Marquis Wu'an's wife tried to impress the Marquis with sympathy. "Her parents died, and she was adopted by Mr. Liu, and she has made great contributions to the court. Now she has no one to rely on in the capital. If she is bullied after entering the palace, what will she do? When I see her, I think of Yun Xi in the past." How could Marquis Wu'an not know what his wife was thinking? He knew that his wife did not really pity Yun Xi, but wanted to take this opportunity to repair their relationship with him.

However, Yun Xi's incident was in the past and he didn't want to mention it again.

As for Liu Prajna, although he admired Liu Lanshi's knowledge, he did not want to be involved in the court disputes.

"You can handle this matter as you wish," Wu Anhou finally said, "Just admit it privately, no need to make a fuss."

The lady heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She knew that the Marquis had already made concessions. Although he was unwilling to publicly acknowledge Liu Prajna, he did not completely reject her.

She was secretly happy and decided to arrange for Liu Banruo to kowtow to the Marquis and acknowledge her as her relative the next day.

The next day, everyone in the marquis's mansion gathered together. Liu Prajna, dressed in gorgeous clothes, knelt respectfully in front of the Marquis Wu'an and his wife, and kowtowed to acknowledge their relationship.

Marquis Wu'an didn't say much, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was all smiles. She held Liu Banruo's hand and talked to her in private.

However, this recognition ceremony was not as harmonious as the lady had wished.

Although the sisters Zhao Songyan and Zhao Songnuan did not say much, their expressions were cold and it was obvious that they were not satisfied with this sudden recognition of their relationship.

Especially Zhao Songyan, her eyes were full of disdain and hostility when she looked at Liu Banruo.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an secretly groaned in her heart, she knew that this recognition ceremony did not achieve the effect she expected.

However, she also knew the Marquis's temper. Since he had agreed to recognize Liu Banruo, she would not say anything more.
