Whether these words were true or false, they struck a chord with her. She had to admit that her deepest hatred was still directed at Shen Shuchun. Everyone else could criticize her, but Shen Shuchun was the only one who couldn't.

When she married into the family, she received a dowry of tens of thousands of taels of silver, almost half of which became stepping stones for Shen Shuchun. She never uttered a sound, but he, in a hypocritical manner, not only favored his concubine over his wife, but also suppressed her without any regard for their marital relationship.

Thinking of all this, Lin felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Which woman doesn't hope to marry a good husband, be a good wife and mother, live a happy and fulfilling life? Who would be so idle as to scheme against others all day long? She married him full of hope, but over the years, her heart has been completely broken by Shen Shuchun. She no longer expects him to give her any tenderness or pampering. She only wants her children to be treated unfairly and not be looked down upon. She only wants to find a better path for her children.

"Alright." Madam Lin smiled brightly, the deep wrinkles on her face making her look exceptionally old. She said to Shen Bochun, "Since you've spoken, sir, I won't stand on ceremony. I want the Shen family to sign a written agreement to have Anzhang and Mingshu adopted under the name of Second Madam Gu."

The Changxing Hall fell silent. No one had expected that Madam Lin would make such a request.

"Okay, I promise you." Although this matter was somewhat tricky, it was not impossible to handle. Shen Bochun knew that he had already spoken up, and if he didn't make a big deal out of it, he was afraid that he would lose all his authority in this family.

Shen Zhongchun sighed deeply, seemingly understanding Lin's intention.

Perhaps the Lin family was indeed somewhat absurd in the past, but the love of parents for their children is no different. The Lin family is planning for the long term for Anzhang and Mingshu!
