"What am I supposed to do? You seem to have forgotten one thing, a moment ago it was 'one hand with the money and the other hand with the person', what right do you have to interfere with what I want to do?" These people's contracts are all in the hands of the matchmaker, in other words, they have no choice at all. Yuan Shu Huan doesn't need to make such a big fuss about what he wants to do. This mother's courage is indeed commendable, but it's also somewhat foolish.

  Just as Yuan Shuhan said earlier, the fate of these people is no longer in their own hands. So Yuan Shuhan thinks this woman's question is very foolish, can't even decide her own fate, yet she tries to guess other people's thoughts. You say petty people's minds and gentlemen's bellies those nonsense, Yuan Shuhan wouldn't care about such things, because Yuan Shuhan himself isn't a good person.

  The good feelings that had just risen were suddenly gone, and Yuan Shuhuan had always despised using a false name to do things. As someone who liked violence, why use other means to solve problems that could be solved with violence? This was the most straightforward way, at least for Yuan Shuhuan.

  A flash of disdain passed through Pei Mingxuan's eyes, this question was simply too stupid. Yuan Shuhuan wasn't a good person, but he liked to put everything on the surface. Those sneaky little movements didn't suit Yuan Shuhuan. However, if it were said that way completely, at least when Yuan Shuhuan was setting up that secret base outside...

  "The foolish woman doesn't ask for the master to be good to the child, she just hopes the child can grow up safely." Yuan Shu Han's one sentence hit the key point, since it can't be changed then we can only follow. "From what the master said earlier, letting the child become the master's child is the best choice, because the master is a straightforward person."

  Yu Shu Han's response was not actually an answer, but unexpectedly made people feel at ease. The key that had never been thought through before, and the foolish pride that had always existed. He had always been stuck in his past dreams, and although he had fallen to such a state, his heart still longed for those past experiences.

  Even if it was glorious in the past, what's the point of thinking about those things now. A woman's heart is clear at once, even if the child isn't her own, and later when people come looking for the child, they can still be safe and sound.

  "This is natural." Yuan Shuhuan nodded, this woman although previously had some pride, now suddenly turned around. This was a good thing for Yuan Shuhuan, it represented a kind of obedience. From the heart, this woman's obedience was even more so, let alone a child in her own hands, his mother.

  "Totaling one thousand two." The old woman brought over the deeds of those people, and didn't dare to have Yuan Shu-han auction them off. This price was indeed not very profitable. Those little girls were said to be worthless, but their prices varied from one to five taels according to their appearance and other aspects. The steward's silver was a bit more abundant. Adding the fact that both families had many mouths to feed, the price of these small children was actually higher.

  "The cook, the seamstress, and the young boy, all together are only worth a hundred taels. This price is already extremely cheap. "Actually, this thousand taels still has some surplus, just right for whoever is in charge, not being alone, with wife and children, I've added a few more young boys and girls, this price is already considered very low, and the cook's family's young boy is also included."

  The old lady would rather lose money on this deal than dare to make a profit. This one thousand two silver coins may sound like a lot, but don't forget that there's such a large weaving workshop inside. That workshop even has a ready-made facade, and the price can't be made any cheaper.

  "You'd better call out all those young boys and girls, anyway let me take a look first." The price was about the same as Yuan Shuhuang's estimate, but Yuan Shuhuang hadn't expected it to be only two hundred taels of silver. The matchmaker had even added several people to the deal. It seemed that in front of Dong Qingyuan and Pei Mingxuan, the matchmaker really didn't dare to make a single penny.

  "There are still several children under the age of three in here, you can take them all together." Yapo reminded, although she didn't know what Yu Shuheng was going to do with these children, but he must have his own purpose. The two families' children added up to seven now, taking a few more shouldn't be a problem.

  Children under the age of three can barely recognize people, and this is generally considered the best age. Yuan Shu chose such a child precisely because of this. Older children are usually spoiled, while younger ones don't even recognize people well, making them the best choice naturally.

  Yuan Shu Huan had no intention of returning these children since he acknowledged them, Yuan Shu Huan was never a person who did things for free, and taking care of other people's children was something he would never do. Even in the future, these people wouldn't even think about getting in touch with their own flesh and blood, although it seemed cruel, but Yuan Shu Huan had given them opportunities before.

  If the parents do not agree to give the child to her, then Yuan Shu Huan will absolutely not force it. Since they have made such a choice, they should make early preparations. However, what makes Yuan Shu Huan happy is that among these children later on, there happens to be a pair of twins who are about to be born full-term.

  Take another look at the gaze of the tooth mother, Yuan Shuheng understood that this is to see his own liking for twins, so he deliberately added it. If this is intentional flattery, then she succeeded. Take in all these children, and Yuan Shuheng's adopted sons and daughters instantly reached fifteen. Anyway, they are all just kids, Yuan Shuheng doesn't care anymore.

  Yuan Shu Huan felt that this time, things seemed to have gotten a bit out of hand. He couldn't help but glance at Pei Ming Xuan, who had first proposed the idea. "You're really not going to do anything about my nonsense?" he asked, only to be met with a stunning smile from Pei Ming Xuan. Yuan Shu Huan stared intently at Pei Ming Xuan, thinking that this was just too captivating.

  "Would I make a good father to the child?" Not to mention that there were only over ten of them, and even if there were more, the Marquis's estate could still afford it, so Pei Mingxuan didn't care about these things at all. Seeing Yuan Shuhan's gaze, Pei Mingxuan couldn't help but want to tease Yuan Shuhan a bit. This sentence was also extremely ambiguous, yet he really didn't have much hope.

  "This idea is not bad, let's discuss it again tonight." Yuan Shuhuan whispered this sentence in Pei Mingxuan's ear, actually she was afraid that the children would look for their father later, so it's better to divide them among these few men in advance. No matter how this matter was for Yuan Shuhuan, it was a surprise for Pei Mingxuan.

  "It's just you coming over." As he said this, Yuan Shu Huan glanced at him with a hint of disdain. Hadn't this person forgotten something? However, earlier the two of them had been in cahoots and seemed to be quite in sync. If Pei Ming Xuan hadn't shaken that couple's faith first, things might not have gone so smoothly for himself.

  Pei Mingxuan found Yuan Shuhan's expression quite amusing, but Yuan Shuhan still had some resentment in his heart about the morning's events. However, this was also an unavoidable situation, and he couldn't stay at Yuan Shuhan's house forever. Although it was okay for a short while, it wasn't ideal in the long run.

  Reputation and all that may not be a concern for the two of them, but there are other things to worry about. If they continue to live together like this, Pei Mingxuan really can't guarantee his self-control is strong enough. Moreover, both of their hearts are in disarray, and although nothing happened when they slept in the same bed last night, it still leaves a lingering feeling that's hard to put into words.

  "Didn't sleep well last night?" Although yesterday's evening was not so good for Pei Mingxuan, looking at Yuan Shuhuan's eyes made him feel a little heartbroken. What kind of child is this? Her past seems to be very glorious, but the stories in it are unknown to anyone. Is it possible that Kong Bingzi said those few short words, without even a hint of anything constructive?

  Last night, when they slept together, Pei Mingxuan only faintly sensed that Yuan Shuhan's inner heart was actually so fragile. Although he wouldn't say anything to outsiders, his heart ached somewhat.

  "Are you afraid I'll eat you up?" Otherwise, how could she have slipped away so quickly today? It turns out that the things she did today weren't without reason. This crazy shopping spree can be considered a form of venting, although the things she bought were all necessities for herself right now. But she couldn't help but admit to herself that this was just a way of venting her own discontent.

  Moreover, this morning when he came out, Bae Myung-seon pretended to be extremely close to himself, provoking Dong Qingyuan. Don't think that he didn't know what Bae Myung-seon was thinking at that time, it's just that he really didn't want to speak the truth. Dong Qingyuan is also a bit of a ghost, from morning till night, he doesn't get tired at all.

  These two people weren't going to have tea, how did they come back so quickly. These children can also shift Dong Qingyuan's line of sight, after all, Dong Qingyuan has never seen his own siblings. Besides, the children are raised together, and what happens depends on individual luck. If these children become reliable in the future, Yuan Shuheng will not be stingy with his emotions.

  After all, being a parent is not an empty phrase. While giving them something, Yuan Shu Huan also needs to get something in return. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially when it comes to someone like Yuan Shu Huan.

  "On the contrary, I don't have any self-control, especially when you're in front of me." After Yu Shu Huan's words trailed off, Pei Ming Xuan couldn't help but feel that he was going to be eaten alive by Yu Shu Huan. But now, Yu Shu Huan was still so young, and Pei Ming Xuan could only try his best to keep the distance between them within a safe range."

  "Are you admitting that you have intentions towards me?" Yuan Shu Huan saw Dong Qingyuan's hand holding the fan getting tighter and tighter, and he was chatting with Pei Ming Xuan in a low voice, as if nothing had happened. Today, it's just you who is so provocative, who let you be so restless? It's good for you to be stimulated!

  "I've always admitted, I have feelings for you. Is it the first time Huan'er knows about my intentions towards you?" Dong Qingyuan had previously shown interest in Yuan Shuhuan at the tea house without hiding his true self, and Pei Mingxuan, though not saying anything out loud, also felt somewhat disdainful in his heart. Now with Yuan Shuhuan's cooperation like this, how could he not take advantage of it to get some benefits?
