“Mother, you should go back. Once your son becomes the top scholar and takes up an official position, I will definitely bring you into my household.”
Looking at Lin Shixuan's worried eyes, the Marquis of Zhenbei said helplessly, "Shixuan, there's no going back."
“Your mother is now a lowly concubine, and her indenture is already in her hands.”
Lin Shixuan was shocked. How could this be?
"Father, how could you agree to let Mother become a lowly concubine? Doesn't that lower our status as well?"
"No, Shixuan, you are now on the Marquis's family genealogy and are a legitimate eldest son."
"What about your younger sister?"
"Your sister..." Marquis Zhenbei paused, "Don't worry, in a few days, your father will definitely put her in the family genealogy."

Zou Shuang'er's smile froze on her face. "Within half a month? So fast?"
"Yes, Mother," Lin Shixuan said somewhat embarrassed.
"But you haven't even reached adulthood yet, how can you get married so soon? And Miss Liu probably hasn't reached adulthood either, has she?"
"Mother, she... is seventeen this year."
"Seventeen?" Zou Shuang'er was so shocked she couldn't speak.
That means the girl is older than the boy? And she hasn't even reached adulthood yet?!
I'm afraid people will laugh at me.
What kind of nonsense is it for a man who hasn't reached adulthood to marry a woman who has reached adulthood?
