“Let her move in then,” Luo Sheng said. “I don’t intend to interfere in this matter. Everything will be done according to the children’s wishes. As you said, she is, after all, the children’s biological mother.”

"I'll leave this to them to decide. I'll talk to them early tomorrow and let them discuss what to do."

Xiao Yunying pouted and muttered, "We shouldn't have let them move in."

Luo Sheng said, "They say that concern leads to confusion. Look how worried you are now. It's not a big deal, so there's no need to worry too much."

Xiao Yunying sighed and said, "Tell me about her, let me know."

"Alright."

Luo Sheng gave a brief introduction to the woman's background.

Her original surname was Xie. She came from a relatively humble background and was the second daughter of a fifth-rank civil official.

I met Luo Shen's brother, Luo Lin, at a banquet once. He was handsome and elegant, and I fell in love with him at first sight.

Luo Lin was frail from childhood and never practiced martial arts. He was the only civil official in the Luo family for generations, serving as a secretary in the Department of Ceremonial Affairs at the Ministry of Rites.

Although he was only a minor official of the fifth rank, he was the eldest son of the Luo family and would inherit the title that his ancestors had earned through their lives. His status was not low.

The Luo family has never cared about social status or family background. After the woman painstakingly tried every means to get close to him, she finally got her wish and married Luo Lin.

"That woman was very good at pretending and coaxing my mother and older brother into being very satisfied with her. By the time I found out, they had already started to formally discuss marriage and were preparing to get married."

At that time, I was guarding the border with my father. My father only said that it was fine as long as my eldest brother liked it. He wrote back to let my mother and eldest brother decide for themselves. And so, she married my eldest brother as she wished.

According to my mother, she behaved quite well when she first married into the family, but after giving birth to Luo Chen two years later, her true nature began to show. She would occasionally use some underhanded tricks in front of my mother in an attempt to seize control of the household.

Although my family is not a legitimate merchant family, my ancestors did not value power and influence. Their only concern was that their family members could live a worry-free life. So whenever the emperor asked what reward they wanted, my ancestors would say that they only wanted real gold and silver, just to provide their family members with a good life without worrying about food and clothing. As a result, our family assets were quite substantial, and we also owned several shops and estates that were doing well.

She had neither business acumen nor a knack for accounting, so my mother naturally wouldn't entrust the household affairs to her directly.

You know my mother's personality; she doesn't care much about power. As the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she doesn't do those things, she'll still teach her these things gradually, considering she gave birth to the first legitimate grandson.

However, she was too impatient and not steady enough, so my mother thought she should temper her temperament and wait until she calmed down before handing over the management of the household affairs to her.

I never expected that such a thing would happen in the family before she even took over managing the household affairs. I never imagined she would abandon her children and flee alone to avoid disaster.
