Lin Hairu was still a little uneasy, but Yi Ning felt at ease. Mrs. Luo must have made all the necessary arrangements. And there really was nothing wrong with it.

If Luo Shenyuan registered Lin Hairu's name, the third brother's status would be higher. He would be raised as a legitimate child and his status in the Luo family would be equal to that of the eldest and second brothers.

And Mrs. Luo was also considering her and Lin Hairu.

With Luo Shenyuan's ability, it would be easy for him to protect her and Lin Hairu.

Yi Ning was a little excited, and she wished Lin Hairu would agree immediately. But Lin Hairu was hesitant. Luo Shenyuan was a grown man, not just a nobody, who could just take him over. Besides, she didn't know Luo Shenyuan very well.

Yi Ning got off the bed, walked to Lin Hairu in slippers, took her hand and said, "Mother, this is very good. Please agree to it. In the future, my third brother will be able to be filial to you and take care of you in your old age!"

Mrs. Luo said these words without deliberately avoiding Yi Ning, she wanted her to hear them too. Seeing her eagerly running off the bed, she shook her head helplessly.

Lin Hairu looked back at Yi Ning's expectant expression. After a moment's thought, she said firmly, "Speaking of those complicated thoughts, ten of me can't match one Concubine Qiao. You've lived decades longer than me, after all, so I'll listen to you! I can't even dream of being the mother of a juren, but having a child with a name on his name would be nice."

Yining almost wanted to laugh when he heard that.

Not only is she the mother of a Juren, she can also be the mother of a Jinshi or the mother of a Prime Minister. I just hope that in the future, Lin Hairu won't be scared by her own identity.

Lin Hairu made this decision entirely because both Mrs. Luo and Yining wanted her to do so. After agreeing, she looked thoughtful. Mrs. Luo saw that she had not yet come to her senses, so she simply let her go back.

The next day, Mrs. Luo called Luo Chengzhang and Luo Shenyuan over to discuss the matter with them.

Luo Chengzhang was also surprised after hearing this, and then frowned and thought about it.

He had seen people adopting illegitimate children, but why did Luo Shenyuan suddenly have to remember Lin Hairu's name when he was already so old? He couldn't figure out the old lady's thoughts. This move was completely intended to flatter Luo Shenyuan, but didn't she always dislike Luo Shenyuan...

After hearing this, Luo Shenyuan looked at Old Mrs. Luo who was sitting in the hall.

Yi Ning, held by Xue Zhi, stood nearby and clearly saw the two men, one shrewd and calculating, the other naturally scheming, questioning each other. After watching for a moment, Luo Shenyuan withdrew his gaze and stood calmly without saying a word.

What exactly did they communicate?

Yi Ning wanted to know, but she couldn't ask. She looked at Luo Chengzhang again.

This father was probably the most confused person present, aside from Lin Hairu. He sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Mother, is this just a sudden thought? This matter isn't a big deal, but it's not something we can just casually decide."

Old Madam Luo said calmly, "I've lived for most of my life, so what sudden ideas are there? Hai Ru has no children, so let Shen Yuan be registered under her name. Besides, Shen Yuan is also going to take the provincial examination. If he passes, he will be considered a legitimate child of our Luo family, and his status will not be low."

Luo Chengzhang frowned when he heard what Old Lady Luo said.

His eldest son stood calmly in the hall without saying a word.

Luo Chengzhang had never imagined Luo Shenyuan would pass the imperial examination. How many people could pass it at the age of fifteen or sixteen? Cheng Lang was a child prodigy, renowned throughout Northern Zhili long before. Furthermore, he was Lu Jiaxue's nephew, so no one doubted he would pass. However, of the three in his family, Luo Huaiyuan was the most gifted, yet he still hadn't passed. Luo Shenyuan wasn't exceptional, so how could he pass on his first try?

Luo Chengzhang felt that the old lady was making excuses.

"Mother, if that's what you're planning, I have nothing to say." Luo Chengzhang glanced at Luo Shenyuan, unconcerned, and said calmly, "But you have to explain your reasons clearly."

Mrs. Luo sneered and said, "If you don't want Shen Yuan to be registered under Hai Ru's name, then register Xuan Ge'er. The legitimate son of the second house can't be left empty anymore."

Luo Chengzhang coughed, and he was even more reluctant to talk to Ji Xuange.

He was planning to train and teach Xuan Ge'er well. Wouldn't it ruin him if he followed Lin Hairu?

Seeing that Lin Hairu beside him hadn't said anything, Luo Chengzhang asked, "Do you agree too?"

Lin Hairu was still a little uneasy when she saw Luo Shenyuan. She always felt a slight sense of oppression from this bastard. She nodded and said, "Well, mother has discussed it with me, and I agree."

Since Lin Hairu had agreed, Luo Chengzhang had nothing more to say. Besides, this was a matter for the Second House, so there was no need to discuss it with the First House. He asked the steward to find the family tree and make changes immediately.

When Yi Ning saw the pen fall on the family tree, she felt a surge of excitement. She subconsciously looked at Luo Shenyuan and found that he was also looking at the pen.

His gaze was actually a little sharp at that moment.
