Du Jiaojiao found Master Du, "I heard you’re going to adopt a child, is that true?"
Du Jiaojiao felt that this was somewhat unbelievable, and she needed Master Du to confirm it personally.
"Yes." Master Du nodded slightly.
"Why?" Du Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "There are so many children in our clan; adopting one of them randomly would be better than adopting from an orphanage!"
At least the children in the clan have blood relations.
Du Jiaojiao couldn’t understand why Master Du suddenly decided to adopt a child.
Master Du’s expression was calm, "That child has a connection with me."
"Third Brother, you’re still young. If you want, there are plenty of women willing to have children for you. I think there’s no need for you to adopt a child; outsiders will always be outsiders."
Master Du rubbed the Buddha Beads, "I have my reasons."
Seeing this, Du Jiaojiao couldn’t say much more.
Master Du’s personality was stubborn.
Whenever he decided on something, no one could change his mind.
"Have you really considered the children of the clan’s relatives?" Du Jiaojiao looked at Master Du.
At least the children of relatives are our own people and won’t have divided loyalties.
Du Jiaojiao didn’t quite trust outsiders.
"There’s no need to consider."
"Alright then," Du Jiaojiao continued, "Since that’s the case, I respect your decision."
Master Du nodded slightly.
The adoption procedures were completed quickly; the next day, the assistant brought Er Gouzi back.
"Uncle, it’s really you!" Er Gouzi said happily upon seeing Master Du again.
Master Du looked at Er Gouzi and said, "From now on, you’ll be called Du Siyan, the ’Si’ from contemplating as a gentleman does, and the ’Yan’ from being truthful in speech."
Er Gouzi nodded, half understanding.
Master Du turned to the assistant, "Take Siyan to see his room and familiarize him with the environment at Deming Pavilion."
"Alright." The assistant nodded and led Du Siyan out.
At this moment, Master Du suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment."
"Uncle, is there anything else?" Du Siyan turned back to look at Master Du.
Master Du continued, "From now on, this is your home. If you need anything, just tell Xiaowang."
Upon hearing this, Xiaowang was somewhat surprised.
Master Du’s words carried a hint of admonition.
It seemed adopting Du Siyan was not a whim for Master Du. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
He couldn’t afford to neglect this little master.
