Luo Shenyuan's expression remained calm as always, and he knelt with perfect stability. Yet, Yi Ning sensed a difference: a subtle sharpness growing more pronounced. She suddenly remembered a time when, across a sea of people, she had seen the young Luo Shenyuan. Back then, he was already the Minister of Personnel, cold and sullen. They had never met, and she was merely a hairpin in his hair.

He already has that kind of prototype, and he will gradually become the most powerful prime minister in the future.

Yining smiled slightly.

Old Lady Luo looked at Luo Shenyuan with admiration and helped him to his feet. Luo Huaiyuan and the others came up to pay their respects. The two had returned from the Luming Banquet, and this was truly their rise to fame. Although they were happy yesterday, they had been busy entertaining guests who came to congratulate them for the past few months, leaving them with no free time. Today, the family was gathering, and Old Lady Luo ordered dinner at her place that evening, sending the maid to invite Chen and Lin Hairu.

It just so happened that today Luo Shenyuan was offering tea to Lin Hairu and Luo Chengzhang as a token of his appreciation for their upbringing. Lin Hairu, a mother of a successful candidate, was a bit nervous about accepting tea, and even dressed even more elegantly than usual. As Luo Shenyuan offered her tea, she took the cup and, pulling a red envelope from her sleeve, presented it to Luo Shenyuan.

"I've been thinking about it and I still don't know what to give you. It's convenient for you to take the money. I'm also too lazy to think of some flowery and sarcastic words," Lin Hairu said, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's nothing more than a career or something like that. Just let me know!"

Luo Chengzhang, who had a lot of pompous, sarcastic remarks ready for his son, coughed and couldn't help but internally blame Lin Hairu. How should he continue with this? Was he supposed to pull out a red envelope and hand it to Luo Shenyuan too? That was too tacky!

Luo Shenyuan gave it a light twist and realized that there were no less than ten silver bills stuffed inside.

He did not express any reluctance, smiled and said, "Thank you, mother." Then he put the red envelope into his sleeve.

Since Luo Shenyuan didn't care about accepting it, Luo Chengzhang was too embarrassed to say anything about Lin Hairu. He said a lot of encouraging words to Luo Shenyuan in a serious and proper manner.

Yining almost spit out her tea while watching from the side. "Stepmother, stepmother, you're being too direct! Who would just give money directly?"

When Luo Huaiyuan served tea to Chen and Mr. Luo, no one paid much attention. Chen took the tea from her son and saw Luo Huaiyuan looking at her with a slightly guilty and unwilling look. She thought of the past two days when everyone had been flattering Lin Hairu.

She gritted her teeth and smiled as she praised her son, not betraying a trace of strangeness. Meanwhile, Mr. Luo, honed in his officialdom for years, had become a seasoned figure, accustomed to not showing his emotions. For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Then the men of the Luo family wanted to talk about crafts. Mrs. Luo introduced Mother Zheng to Lin Hairu. When Mother Zheng left the Luo family, Lin Hairu had not yet married into the family.

Mother Zheng was a prominent figure in the Luo family. She had once cured Old Master Luo's back problems. Even Uncle Luo and Luo Chengzhang respectfully addressed her as "Mother Zheng." It was Mother Zheng who cured Chen of the underlying illness she sustained during childbirth with Luo Yixiu. She also treated Mother Zheng with respect.

After observing this, Yining found that Mother Zheng was indeed a very versatile person who could speak with all her heart.

No matter what their relationship was with her, everyone in this family got along well with her and gave her some face.

Mrs. Luo looked at Lin Hairu for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. She turned her head and whispered to Mother Zheng, "My daughter-in-law has a cold constitution... and her stomach hasn't been moving for years. Do you have any advice for her?"

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Whether you are sure or not, you have to take a look first." She asked Lin Hairu to follow her into the inner room to take a look.

Lin Hairu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, so she pulled Yi Ning, who was sipping tea boredly, and said, "Since you have nothing to do, come with me!"

Lin Hairu pulled Yi Ning into the inner room. Mother Zheng pulled a small pillow from her bosom and placed it under Lin Hairu's wrist. She took her pulse in a unique way, pressing down with her fingertips while her pinky clasped Lin Hairu's wrist. After listening for a moment, she opened her eyes, smiled, and said, "This can be treated. It should be healed in half a year."

Lin Hairu was so surprised that she even asked Mother Zheng if it was true. She had been seeing doctors for the past five years, but they all told her there was no cure. Xuezhi, hearing her disbelief, said, "Second Madam, don't be suspicious. Mother Zheng's reputation as a miracle doctor isn't for nothing. If she says it will heal in six months, then it definitely will."

Lin Hairu finally became happy. Yining felt relieved to see her happy. Even Zheng Mama felt that she was indeed a master.

Lin Hairu turned around and said to her with a smile: "Yining, don't you want a younger brother? I will give birth to a younger brother for you, okay? When he grows up, he can protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, you can ask your brother to avenge you——"

After hearing this, Yi Ning said "OK" with a mixture of laughter and tears. By the time her brother grows up, she will probably be married.

Mrs. Luo had originally asked Mother Zheng to see Lin Hairu, just to give it a try. Unexpectedly, she was able to recover. This was a case of planting flowers but not blooming, but planting willows and getting a good shade. She asked Mother Zheng to quickly write a prescription and decided to start treating Lin Hairu from tomorrow. She should do whatever it took to recover; the most important thing was to have a child as soon as possible.

At this time, the maid came to announce that Aunt Qiao had brought Xuan Ge'er and Luo Yilian to pay their respects to the old lady.

Yining clearly saw that when Mother Zheng heard Aunt Qiao's name, her expression turned slightly cold.

Aunt Qiao came in with the toddling Xuan Ge'er, who called her "Grandma" in a sweet and sweet voice. Luo Yilian first noticed Madam Zheng standing behind Yining and was wondering why there was an unfamiliar woman in the inner room. Aunt Qiao beside her was a little surprised and said, "This...this is Madam Zheng?"
