Chapter 19 Shu Wenyue

Shu Yuwan’s pupils dilated.

Was it what she had in mind?

After a moment of contemplation, she firmly replied, “Shu!”

Madam Shu nodded, “In that case, the eldest daughter’s full name will be Shu Wenyue. How does that sound to you?”

“It sounds very nice.”

“Mother, thank you, and Father.” Yuwan’s eyes were slightly red.

Without knowing the true intention behind her return, under the premise of avoiding the downfall of the Shu family in the previous life, her parents not only accepted her return but also fully accepted her daughter as part of the Shu family.

There weren’t many women who returned separated from their husbnad to the capital, except for the most noble and generally wealthy women. Even if they had some status, they had to endure it!

Indeed, returning was a way to protect the family’s reputation.

Her parents, brother, and sister-in-law were truly wonderful!!!

“Silly child, you can’t cry during confinement.” Madam Shu hugged her daughter, gently patting her back as she did when her daughter was young.

On the other side, Mr. Shu, upon receiving Madam Shu’s response, went to the family shrine to prepare to add the name of the little granddaughter.

As expected, he faced opposition from the Shu clan members.

The clan chief of the Shu clan frowned, “Jin Yi, the Anding Marquis’s Mansion has insulted us by publicly posting a notice for the separation with a merchant’s daughter and harming the legitimate wife. We didn’t say anything about the separation.”

“But this child still carries the bloodline of the Anding Marquis’s Mansion. You should send her back to the Anding Marquis’s Mansion and then send Yuwan, that girl, to the temple to preserve the honor of the Shu clan women.”

Mr. Shu, not in a hurry, said, “Are you suggesting that the Anding Marquis’s Mansion mistreated my daughter, and while the Anding family son continues to marry and have children, my daughter will be left in misery for life?”

“Are you sure that if they slap us, we should slap ourselves back?”

Hearing this, the clan chief of the Shu clan sighed, “But we can’t let the Anding Marquis’s daughter be recorded in the Shu clan’s genealogy!”

“Chief, this is our way of slapping back at the Anding Marquis’s Mansion!” Shu continued to persuade.

“Think about it, the rascal from the Anding Marquis’s Mansion publicly announced in front of everyone in the capital that he wanted to separate from our Shu clan woman, marry a merchant’s daughter, and trample on the face of our Shu clan in front of everyone! If we still send the child born to our Shu clan daughter to them, how will the people in the capital mock us for lacking backbone!”

“This child will be recorded in the genealogy of our Shu clan, becoming a girl of our Shu clan! It will be a slap in the face to the Anding Marquis’s Mansion!”

“But…”

“Chief, are you going to let the clans in the capital mock us, the Shu clan, for not fighting back?”

“But…”

“Chief, this child is being raised in our Shu clan. In the future, she will surely become a knowledgeable and well-mannered young lady. Everyone will know that our Shu clan is well-educated, reasonable, and tactful!”

“Alright…”

“Chief, this is not acceptable!” Another elder in the clan hurriedly interjected.

The clan chief raised his hand, saying, “Jin Yi makes sense.”

“Although women’s separation is inevitable, the recent public notice from the Anding Marquis’s Mansion in the capital has gone too far!”

“However, this will affect the marriage prospects of other unmarried girls in the clan! What about the reputation of the women in our Shu clan?” There were inevitably some dissatisfied with unmarried girls in the family.

Shu raised his eyebrows, “This is a mistaken statement!”

“Our Shu clan has developed to this day, with many officials in the court! How could a small matter like this affect the marriage prospects of our girls? If that were the case, wouldn’t the efforts of the men in our clan for generations be ridiculous!”

“If they are unwilling to marry the Shu clan woman over this matter.”

“Are they intentionally learning from the Anding Marquis’s Mansion?”

“Is that why they are so worried?”

“Then it’s fine if the marriage doesn’t happen! No matter how prestigious the family is! With such intentions, our Shu clan is not interested in forming alliances!”

The Mr. Shu spoke passionately, and the hall fell silent for a moment…

The clan chief cleared his throat, “This matter is settled, let it be recorded in the genealogy.”

The Shu attendant quickly had the genealogy brought out and added the three big characters “Shu Wenyue.”

The crowd left in a daze, still entangled in the discussion with the Shu minister.

The Shu attendant returned to the residence satisfied.

“How did it go? Was everything smooth?” Madam Shu was very willing to support her daughter, but she also knew that things might not be easy.

“When I take action, success naturally follows!”

Madam Shu was overjoyed upon hearing this, praising her husband without reservation, “Indeed, my husband is amazing. When it comes to difficult matters, they become a piece of cake in your hands!”

The Mr. Shu became even more delighted…

The news quickly reached the Anding Marquis’s Mansion.

“What?”

“Are you sure?”

Wei became anxious, “Can I not use this matter to make you happy? Madam, the Shu clan is a prestigious family with a century-old reputation. How could they do something so improper!”

“They don’t care about the reputation of the Shu clan woman anymore!”

“When the child was young and stayed by the mother’s side, we didn’t object, but she is ultimately a girl from our Anding Marquis’s Mansion. When she grows up, she must be brought back to our mansion. How could she possibly be recorded in the Shu clan’s genealogy? It would be a laughingstock for our Anding Marquis’s Mansion! They are disregarding the face of our Anding Marquis’s Mansion, it’s too much!”

Wei couldn’t calm down after hearing this news.

The elderly lady of the Anding family also found it difficult to accept and asked, “Has it already been recorded in the Shu clan’s genealogy?”

“Exactly, the message we received is that it has been recorded!”

The elderly lady of the Anding family slammed the tea table and exclaimed, “Go to the Shu residence!”
