Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1741 - 1679: A Grand Gift

When it came to the birth of Changsheng, Wufu’s heart was struck. She came from a later generation and did not regard birth time as important as the ancients did, not caring about things like ominous stars, but Changsheng was different. He was just a child with a long road ahead.

Sometimes, the rumors of the world could drown a person.

Wufu hoped that Changsheng would grow up healthy, but she hoped even more that he would become strong, so that, even if someone tried to bully him, he would have enough power to protect himself and fight back, rather than being foolishly submissive.

"Wufu, a man is destined to have more responsibility than a woman. Only when he is strong can he protect himself and you," Hua Wushuang said deeply.

Ah Jiu grasped Wufu’s hand and said, "Uncle is right, Wufu, I won’t let you down, but the stronger your backing is, the more confident you will be, and no one will dare to look down on you, not even me."

Hua Wushuang listened and gave him an approving look; he understood.

"Moreover, even as the heir, he can live with us. It’s just that Uncle will be guiding him," Ah Jiu laughed and said, "When he grows up, if he doesn’t want the position, he can get married early, have a son, and hand him over to Uncle for nurturing."

"Is he unable to have children himself, treating Changsheng as a child-bearing machine?" Wufu murmured.

Hua Wushuang almost couldn’t hold back from throwing his tea, only taking a deep breath to suppress the urge.

"It’s just a personal choice after all. If he becomes the heir of the Mei Family, all resources will be at his disposal, undoubtedly increasing his safety index, right?" Ah Jiu continued.

Wufu made no further comment.

Ah Jiu signaled to Hua Wushuang, and Hua Wushuang said, "Ah Jiu is right, if Changsheng doesn’t wish to continue in the future, simply have a child and nurture him anew. What do you think, what should we name him? With Mei as the surname, which intrinsically has resilience, and since he was born at a yin time, how about Yu for the name? ’The sun shines bright during the day, and the moon illuminates the night,’ meaning brilliant and bright."

Mei Yu, courtesy name Changsheng, rolls off the tongue.

Wufu recited the name and found it pretty nice, yet suddenly felt something was off, glancing sideways at Hua Wushuang, she asked, "You’ve planned all this out, haven’t you?"

Otherwise, how could he come up with such a pleasant name all of a sudden?

Faced with her suspicion, Hua Wushuang remained calm and said, "His formal name always had to be established. I went through some classical texts and thought this character was the best, and he also agreed. Whenever I recited it to him, he would always smile."

Wufu was silent, "I believe you like I believe a ghost!"

"Rest assured, whether it’s him or you, you are part of the Mei Family, and the Mei Family will protect you!" Hua Wushuang stated.

Wufu lowered her gaze, "I have my own people." After a pause, she added, "You want Changsheng to belong to the Mei Family’s ancestry, but let me declare one thing. If one day, he doesn’t want to be the Young Master of the Mei Family, you can’t use grand reasons to persuade him."

"Okay!" Hua Wushuang agreed without a second thought.

Wufu felt a bit uncomfortable, as if her younger brother had been stolen.

Hua Wushuang looked at the two, took out a seal from his bosom, threw it to Wufu, and said, "Since you are already a family, this is my grand gift to you as an uncle. With this seal, you can command all of the Mei Family’s forces, be it in Nanyue or Beiyan."

Wufu caught the seal; it was a piece of black-purple Chinese giant redwood, its body carved with strange patterns. At the base, there was also a sigil.

Huh, this sigil, where have I seen it before?
