Chapter 660: I feel like I’m being left behind at 660.
It’s not that the people who sell their children don’t love them. It’s just that sometimes, selling them ensures they have food to eat, while keeping them all at home only leads to starvation.
It was when Mrs. He was away that Old Man Ye quietly told her, if it weren’t for having one of her own at home, Mrs. He would have thought about handing over everything to Qingyue.
It’s just that, even if elder brothers and sisters-in-law are kind, making a living under their hands is still different from doing so in front of one’s parents, and Mrs. He doesn’t want to relinquish control. She is ultimately afraid of wronging Ye Jiu.
At the very least, as long as the household is in her hands, no one dares to treat her Little Jiujiu wrongly.
As she was thinking, a maid suddenly came to report, "Old Madam, Old Master, Miss, Attendant has come with a young master, saying that they are looking for the fifth Miss."
Old Man Ye and Mrs. He both looked towards Ye Jiu. Ye Jiu explained, "Yesterday, it was the Princely Heir of Prince Jing, and since Prince Jing and the Princess Consort were in a hurry to leave, they let the Princely Heir stay."
Old Man Ye knew about this, he had just forgotten for a moment.
"Then let’s quickly invite them in, shall we?" After speaking, Old Man Ye remembered that this Princely Heir might just be the son they had secretly swapped to the Royal Residence of Prince Jing!
Stealing a glance at Mrs. He, the old couple both felt uneasy. Facing this son they had never met, they couldn’t clearly describe their feelings.
After Qin Zhou entered, he first bowed towards Old Man Ye and his wife, "Old Master Ye, Old Madam Ye, respects."
Given Qin Zhou’s current status, this already gave them a great deal of face.
Instead, Old Man Ye and Mrs. He acted quite awkwardly, only managing to chuckle a couple of times towards Qin Zhou.
They wanted to perform the proper rites according to status, but then remembered, this child was their own flesh and blood. For parents to perform rites to their child, wouldn’t that be asking for their child’s life to be shortened?
