Accepting Shen Li

Finally, when Jiang Muxun was punished, the temperature in the room went down. Everybody calmed down and finally, all the servants began to leave and busied themselves in their job. Jiang Youbin glanced at Jiang Yuyu and on seeing the bandages all over her body, he frowned. "Yuyu, let's go and rest in the room. You are hurt. I will call the doctor for you."

At this time, Concubine Qin also put a beautiful smile on her face and stepped forward. "Yes, Second Miss you are hurt. Let's go in your room."

"Uncle Jiang, that's not necessary," Ming Roulan interrupted quickly. She couldn't let anybody call a doctor to check Jiang Yuyu's wounds. If a doctor would be called then everything would be over. All of their plans would be spoiled and everyone would get to know the truth. "Before coming here, I took Yuyu and got her checked. There are only superficial wounds and you all don't need to worry much," she explained.

"Yes, dad." Amelia smiled, joining in the acting. "I am fine."

General Jiang frowned, "B-but -"

"Dad, I am fine." Amelia gave him an assuring smile.

"Okay." Jiang Youbin nodded when he saw her smile. However, thinking of the incident that happened today, his stern eyes looked at her. He didn't want her to repeat this action. "Yuyu, there is no next time. You cannot go out on your own like this. Understand?"

"Yes, dad." Amelia nodded acting to be an obedient daughter. Next, she looked at Shen Li who was standing beside Ming Roulan and waved her hand at him. Seeing her action, everyone followed her gaze and turned to look at the person she was waving at. Instantly, their pupils dilated in surprise when they noticed a small, skinny boy standing beside Ming Roulan. When Shen Li saw that everyone was looking at him, he blushed in shame and fear and hid behind Ming Roulan. He was a little afraid to go in front of everyone.

Amelia chuckled at his actions. "Don't be afraid. Little Li, come here."

"Go! Your Sister Jiang is called you!!!" Ming Roulan encouraged and patted on his head.

Shen Li poked his head and peeked at Amelia. Seeing her smiling at him, he took a deep breath and took a step forward. Building up his courage, he walked step by step towards Amelia and held her hand. "Good boy," Amelia praised and patted his head just like MIng Roulan did.

Shen Li blushed furiously and dared not to look at anyone else.

"Yuyu, who is he?" Jiang Youbin questioned as his eyes narrowed down on the poor little boy. On seeing his daughter being so close to a strange boy, he pursed his lips and many questions arose in his heart. Once again, he was getting suspicious about his daughter's behavior. It seemed like something has changed inside her. She looked the same, but something was different.

Amelia could feel her father's probing gaze on her but she didn't care. "This is Shen Li. He's the one who has saved me in that forest. Also, from today onwards, he's going to be my little adopted brother and he's going to live with me," she informed. Tilting her head to one side, she blinked her sparkly eyes and looked at her father, "Daddy, I can take him as my little brother, right?"

Jiang Youbin: "........" I am your father? Did you ask me?

Shen Xiaozhnag: "......." What's wrong with her? Why is she acting so different, today?

Everybody else: "..........." A beggar as your brother? Are you crazy?

Jiang Youbin frowned. His stern eyes scanned the little boy who was trying to hide behind his daughter. Looking at his thin little face, lean arms, and dirty clothes, he knew what kind of situation this little guy was in. This was probably a beggar's son but what was this little guy doing in that Mystical Forest? Also, how did he save his daughter with his small weak body? Is this little guy really a beggar's son or a spy sent to find secrets from his family?

"Fine," Jiang Youbin nodded. He hid the cunning light in his eyes and patted Amelia's head. Amelia froze at his action not thinking that he could pat her head, however knowing that he might be doing it to his daughter, she calm down. "Since he saved your life means then he's our benefactor. If you want him as your little brother, then he'll be your little brother."

Amelia chuckled, "Daddy, that's not what I meant."

"Then?" Jiang Youbin frowned.

"I want you to adopt him into our family. From today onwards, he'll be Jiang Li," Amelia informed carelessly, dropping the bomb on everyone's forehead.

Jiang Youbin: "........" What!!!!

Everyone: "........."

Standing beside General Jiang, Concubine Qin was mad. She couldn't help but her tongue to stop screaming herself from screaming out in anger. What was this fool trying to do? This was the Prestigious Jiang Mansion and not someplace to keep a beggar's son. She knew how much her husband like this fool and fulfilled her wishes. If he agreed to keep this beggar's son in the Mansion, then what would happen to her son?

No! She can't let this beggar stay in the Mansion.

Nobody can take her son's place.....

"Second Miss, how can you say that?" Concubine Qin tried to explain. "I am sure that little guy had his own parents? You just cannot take somebody else's child. Isn't that right, General Jiang?"

General Jiang nodded. "Yuyu, Qin'er is right. You cannot -"

"He has no parents, daddy." Amelia interrupted him. "Also, if my concubine mother was alive then I would have a brother just like him. So, I want him as my brother. Daddy, you can do this much for me, right?"

General Jiang looked at her and sighed dotingly. "Fine, he'll be my son from today. I'll add his name to the family book."

"Thank daddy. You love me the most," Amelia smiled and held Shen Li's arm. "Little Li, from today, he's going to be your father."

Shen Li peeked a look at General Jiang. "T-thank you... Thank you so much," he said gratefully and kneeled to pay his respects.

General Jiang was pleased with this posture. At least, this little guy wasn't a fool. Waving his hand, he let him get up. Looking at all the people in the hall, he gave out a command. "From today onwards, Jiang Li is my son. If anybody dared to disrespect him, then he'll face the worse of me. Remember, you will all treat him just as you treat my Yuyu. Understood?"

All the servants trembled with fear. "Yes, Master."
