My Crippled Husband who loves me dearly

Upon reflecting on this, Grace Gu clenched her teeth in anger, her nails digging into her flesh beneath her sleeves without feeling a hint of pain.

Iris Xue approached Grace with a gentle smile, "I rather like this child."

Seated above, Old Lady Xiao laughed, "Since you both have taken a liking to this child, its settled. Once Ethan returns later..."

Grace suddenly chuckled, "Grandmother, sister-in-law, when did I say Ive chosen this child?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Jasper Xiao also quickly glanced at her, a flash of tension and subtle loathing in his eyes.

Grace turned to Iris, "Since sister-in-law is so fond of this child, why not adopt him under your wing? This way, youll have a child for comfort and also continue the family line of your late husband. Isnt that a perfect solution?"

"Nonsense, today is about your adoption, why involve your sister-in-law?" Old Lady Xiao was displeased before Iris could speak.

Grace laughed, "Grandmother, dont be hasty. I merely made the suggestion seeing how rarely sister-in-law likes a child. If you and sister-in-law are not willing, Ill take the child under my wing. Its just an extra bowl of food, after all."

Her words were dismissive, treating Ethan Xiao as if he were a dispensable object, clearly not taking it to heart.

Iris smile remained, but her eyes flickered with a cold hue that was barely perceptible.

Old Lady Xiao also felt it was out of ear, after all, Ethan Xiao was her genuine great-grandson.

Without waiting for the two to speak, Grace pointed at the other children and said, "These children are all alone and helpless. No matter how well the clan takes care of them, its hard to be comprehensive. Now theres only one heir in the mansion, Minxuan, which is indeed too thin. Why not take all these children into the mansion, which could also make the mansion more lively?"

Turning to Sherry, she added, "If there are any more children in the clan who are hard to continue, aunt can also choose some good ones to send. The Marquisate Mansion is big and wealthy, and it can still afford to raise a few people."

Old Lady Xiaos face twitched, suppressing her anger, and said with a smile, pointing at her, "If you think there are few people in the mansion, then have more yourself, how many I will raise for you, the old lady."

Grace covered her lips and laughed, "Who doesnt know that the Marquis misses my sister, and on the wedding night, he left me, the stepmother, to sleep in the study, and then never set foot in my yard again? If I could be pregnant, the mansion would have to be overturned."

Her words made the room quiet for a moment.

Sherry was so embarrassed that she wished she could cover her ears, and Iris lowered her eyes, her emotions hidden.

Old Lady Xiao was both embarrassed and angry, scolding, "The children are all here, what are you talking about?"

"Alright, if you want to raise more, then raise them! Only one thing, after Ethan is adopted under your name, you must treat him as your own!"

As long as the other few are not adopted into the genealogy, Grace can raise as many as she wants.

Grace said slowly, "I think, the adoption should be temporarily slowed down. After all, being adopted under my name, he will be the legitimate son of the Marquisate in the future, and his behavior will represent the face of the Marquisate, so the choice of personnel has to be careful. The reason why I proposed to take all these children into the house before is also to observe them carefully before finally deciding who to adopt."

She glanced at Ethan, who almost couldnt hold back his innocent expression, "Moreover, I think this child has some deep thoughts, and Im afraid that I will raise a white-eyed wolf in the future."

Old Lady Xiaos face changed, and Iris frowned, "Sister-in-law, your words are not appropriate, how can you..."

"Sister-in-law, you protect this child so much, why dont you adopt him! I think you two look like a mother and son!"

Graces words directly silenced Iris.

Old Lady Xiao pressed her forehead in a headache, knowing that if she continued to talk, she would arouse Graces suspicion, so she could only wave her hand, "Forget it, you decide how to arrange it yourself!"

For now, we can only wait for Jasper to return to the mansion and let him talk to Grace.

"Yes, I will think it over and choose the most suitable son of the Marquisate." Grace smiled faintly.

Qiran Courtyard.

"Madam, are you going to adopt all these children under your name?" Seeing Grace go out for a trip and bring back a string of children, the nurse He was shocked and asked in a low voice.

Grace didnt commit, "What does Muma want to say?"

"You usually take care of the Marquisate very hard, and if you add these children, Im afraid it will be more tired." He looked distressed.

Grace felt warm in her heart and smiled, "Muma doesnt have to worry, I have my own plans."

In her last life, she married Jasper at the age of fifteen and died of poisoning before the age of thirty. Over the past ten years, she has served the elders wholeheartedly, educated a pair of children who are not her own, filled most of her family to maintain the glory and wealth of the Marquisate, and paid everything she could, but in return, she only got a calculated deception and betrayal!

In this life, she will not be so silly again!

And the revenge she didnt have the chance to report in her last life, she will also take back bit by bit in this life!

Walking outside the flower hall, she observed through the slightly open window.

The flower hall is very quiet, other children sit cautiously, not daring to move, only a pair of eyes curiously looking around.

Ethan sat alone in the corner, as if isolated by others, a small body shrank in a large chair, looking very pitiful. But in the angle that no one saw, his young face was changeable.

Clearly, his father and mother said that the woman would definitely adopt him, how did it become like this? He is a real young master of the Marquisate, and he has to compete with a group of unwanted people. Why?

Its all because of the woman who occupied her mothers position. In the future, when he takes over the Marquisate, he must make that woman regret it!

Grace saw the malice on his face clearly, and her eyes were slightly deep.

In her last life, how could she be so blind and heartless, and regard the ungrateful wolf as a clever little lamb?

Grace lowered her eyes and said sarcastically, "People in the world all say that Jasper is affectionate and righteous, except for his deceased wife, no other woman can enter his eyes and heart. It can be seen that people in the world are all blind!"

A man who can have an affair with his sister-in-law and can think of adopting the bastard under his legitimate wife is an insult to the four characters of affection and righteousness!

"Madam?" He didnt understand what she meant.

Grace waved her hand, didnt explain, and said lightly, "Muma, find a reason to deal with Lan Qin."

Hes face became sharp, "Is that girl inappropriate?"

"Those who have a second heart, I
