Chapter 918 Another Pair of Twins
Since Lord Yu had learned about the Ruan family, and knew of the twins from the Lu family, he must also have learned about the existence of another pair of twins from Madame Yu and the others, and one would think he intended to send them back.
So, this is... not sent back? And instead, he adopted them as his foster son and daughter?
Lord Yu looked toward the doorway, where several children were playing and frolicking, revealing a rare, gentle smile, "Yes, they are the other pair of twins. I was once deceived by others, but fortunately, a wise person enlightened me. At that moment, I had a great epiphany and gave up on seeking another pair of twins, only wishing to do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for myself. As for the children, if fate did not intend for us to be together, I wouldn’t insist."
Shu Yu, the wise person, lowered her head silently and took a sip of tea, concealing the expression in her eyes.
Lord Yu did not notice, and he continued to speak, "I originally planned to send these two children back, but they had already been brought to my mansion. When I saw their gaunt appearances, I asked a few more questions. Only then did I learn that their birth parents had passed away, and they were living with their aunt and uncle, sold off by their money-grubbing relatives. Not only that, they were bullied at home, starved, and had a very difficult life. After investigating, I found the situation to be true, thus I was moved to keep them in my home."
With this stay, affection developed.
Lord Yu wasn’t the type to interact much with children; he found them quite bothersome.
He truly yearned for a child, but was impatient with dealing with them, mainly for the sake of continuing the family line. No matter how unlikable the children were, it was unacceptable not to have any at all.
Therefore, he didn’t have much contact with children before, but after hearing the words of the Daoist nun, he changed. She told him that the child needs to feel the warmth of the home, to know that the Yu family welcomes them, so they would reincarnate into his family.
