Xuezhi led her over. Yining saw Luo Chengzhang carrying a small basket. Inside was a puppy, barely the size of a palm, with snow-white, slightly curly fur and a tail only as long as Yining's little finger. Lying in the basket, bewildered, it was adorable.

"I asked someone to buy this for me. I heard that many people in Beijing like to raise it. Do you want to raise it?" Luo Chengzhang coaxed her.

Yining said expressionlessly, "I already have a turtle and I can't take care of it."

Mrs. Luo smiled and asked Yining to come to her side. She hugged Yining in her arms. "If my sister doesn't want it, forget it. Don't force her."

Luo Chengzhang smiled awkwardly and could only ask his servants to put the puppy away.

Yi Ning knew that Luo Chengzhang felt guilty about him. Could it be that he could just give her something casually? It wasn't that simple. Yi Ning leaned against Mrs. Luo's arms and saw Lin Hairu's smile as she looked at him under the candlelight. She said softly, "Daddy, I want a younger brother too."

Luo Chengzhang had been very kind to his daughter during this period. Upon hearing this, he said, "Xuan Ge'er is your younger brother."

"Xuan'er isn't my brother, he's Sixth Sister's brother." Knowing that she was just a child and no one would take her seriously, Yi Ning said it directly. She pursed her lips, clenched her hands, and said, "If I had a brother, I definitely wouldn't frame me like Xuan'er did..."

Luo Chengzhang coughed, he knew what Yining meant.

He looked up and saw that both Mrs. Luo and Lin Hairu were silent. He could only say, "Yining, this matter about my brother..."

"Daddy, please give me a little brother with Mom." Yining suddenly smiled and said, "Then I can play with my little brother."

Lin Hairu then understood what Yi Ning meant. Even though she was frank, she couldn't help but blush and feel embarrassed.

"Yining is right." Old Mrs. Luo echoed her granddaughter's words, "Since the second branch of the family has no legitimate son, it's time to give Yining a younger brother."

Lin Hairu blushed even more and muttered, "It's not too late to talk about it later." After a while, she said goodbye and went back.

After the couple left, Mrs. Luo smiled and patted her granddaughter's head: "You are such a good little sprite. If your mother really gives birth to a younger brother for you in the future, you must take care of him."

Yining responded with a smile.

Mother Xu helped Mrs. Luo into the inner room to rest.

Yining's heart tightened. She had just burned the note and didn't know if there would be any smell... She walked into the inner room and breathed a sigh of relief. Xuezhi lit a burner of lily incense, and the whole room was filled with the scent of lily. There was no smell of anything unusual.

She and Xuezhi looked at each other, and there was no difference in Xuezhi's smile.

Yining began to feel curious about her elder sister Luo Yihui who married far away in the capital. To be able to raise such an outstanding girl, this elder sister Luo Yihui must be extraordinary.
