"Recognition?" Qiu Tong seemed to recall something amusing. "Ah Jun, you can say this to me, but please don't tell anyone else. You've had an affair with your uncle, and you still want recognition? Let alone a scholarly family, even an ordinary family wouldn't allow it. What a pity."
"Your son is so grown up, yet you don't give him any official status. Isn't that too cruel?" It's hard to imagine how a woman has managed all these years while she's the second wife and her son is the eldest son of the first wife.
"If he could, with Lord Huo's abilities, he would have been officially recognized long ago. However, I heard my mother say that she is a woman of quiet elegance and doesn't care much about fame.

Zhao Shu knew that it was Huo Baichuan who made the decision, and she was at ease with Xian'er being the future head of the family. "He is better than others. If there are any difficulties, please lend a hand, Lord Qiu."
"Don't worry, the Emperor also favors him to succeed Lord Huo. He grew up by Lord Huo's side since childhood and has become very intelligent through his exposure to his surroundings."
