Madam Wang's words made Old Lady Sheng and Sheng Hong hold their breath. After all, people are biased. But Madam Wang was the only one who was so careless as to say that she might be biased in the future.

Old Madam Sheng, as the backbone of the Sheng family, also sighed: "So what do you want?"

"Hua'er was brought up by my mother to be very decent and dignified. I may need to trouble my mother to bring up Mo'er herself."

Sheng Hong felt a little guilty when he said this. He always felt that all his little thoughts were seen through in front of his stepmother.

Sheng Hong is very filial and respectful and is very grateful to Madam Sheng for always taking care of him. After Grandpa Sheng passed away, the old lady, as the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi, could have returned home with her dowry, but she chose to stay for him and the Sheng family.

In order to prevent the second branch of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion from marrying their concubine's daughter to Sheng Hong, she even chose to cut off contact with her natal family.

As soon as Mrs. Sheng nodded, the servant came to report that there was something going on in the government office: "I agree with the matter of the fourth girl. You can go and take care of the official business."

"Thanks, mother. I'll take my leave." Sheng Hong stood up and took his leave. Before leaving, he looked at his wife with gratitude. He was always grateful to his stepmother for arranging for him to marry a kind-hearted wife.

"Don't you dislike Lin Qige? Why do you come to me for help for the fourth girl?" Madam Wang felt a little uncomfortable after Sheng Hong left. She was just trying to find a reason to leave when she heard Mrs. Sheng's question.

Madam Wang and Old Lady Sheng also had a year or two of loving mother and filial daughter-in-law time, but because of Lin Qinshuang, Madam Wang became estranged from Old Lady Sheng.

"Mother……"

Old Madam Sheng said, "You are always outspoken. Tell me why."

"Mother, the fourth girl, smiled at my daughter-in-law in the afternoon. She was fair and tender, more beautiful than any baby I have ever seen. My daughter-in-law felt that the fourth girl and I were destined to be together, and she didn't want Miss Lin to raise another pretentious little Lin Qinshuang."

Old Madam Sheng was amused by Madam Wang's words. That was why she gave up the more favored eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's family and instead asked for the second daughter, who had been raised in her uncle's and aunt's home since childhood and was not valued by the Grand Tutor and his wife, to marry Sheng Hong.

Mrs. Wang blushed a little at the laughter. For a moment, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law seemed to have returned to the first two years when she married into the Sheng family: "Mother..."

"I've always known that you're a kind-hearted kid. I also know that you feel unfair, after all, Lin Qinshuang was raised by me, but after all, I'm the one who let you down when something like this happened."

"Over the years, my daughter-in-law has figured it out. The families that my mother chose for Lin Xiaoniang were all poor but with ambitious sons. She was used to a good life in the Lin family and later in the Sheng family, and she didn't want to marry into a poor family and live a hard life. It has nothing to do with my mother."

Over the years, Old Madam Sheng has not seen Lin Qinshuang, nor has she responded to her deliberate flattery. Even Chang Feng cannot see the old lady in private.

Not to mention that Lin Qinshuang relied on Sheng Hong's favor to enjoy great glory in the backyard. Sheng Hong was also scolded by Old Madam Sheng several times. Every time there was a disagreement between Wei Ruixuan and Lin Qige, the old lady stood on her side. Madam Wang was not unaware of it.

When Zimu was playing with Rongtuan in the space, his life was arranged clearly. From now on, he would be raised by Old Madam Sheng in Shou'an Hall just like Hualan, and would be taught by the old lady personally.

The happiest person was naturally Hualan. She loved this fair and tender fourth sister so much. She wondered if the younger brothers and sisters in her mother's belly would be as pretty after they were born.

The second happiest person was Sheng Hong, as this would not only ensure his daughter's upbringing, but also avoid conflicts between his wives and concubines.

A few days later, Zimu officially moved into Shou'an Hall under the reluctant gaze of his biological mother Lin Qinshuang in this life. Lin Qinshuang had been raised and taught by Old Lady Sheng, so she naturally knew that it was best for her daughter to grow up under the old lady's care.

As a time traveler, Zimu certainly knows how important Old Madam Sheng is to this family. It can be said that without Old Madam Sheng, there would be no Sheng family in the future, and Sheng Hong would be even less likely to give birth to a son like Sheng Changbai.

Old Mrs. Sheng, who originally didn't believe that a baby could smile, was also captivated by Zimu's innocent smile with his pink gums.

Even the cold and aloof Old Lady Sheng dotes on little Zimu, not to mention Hualan who now treats Zimu as her own treasure.

Old Lady Sheng and Mother Fang also discovered that Zimu was different from other children. Zimu was no different from other children, except for the rare times he was awake, he was sleeping most of the time.

The only difference is that Zimu never cries for no reason. He only whimpers and cries when he is hungry or when his diaper needs to be changed. Otherwise, he is very quiet.

Since Zimu was loved by the three top figures of the Sheng family, a full-moon banquet was held for her as the legitimate daughter when she was one month old.

Many wives of officials in Hangzhou who had met Zimu praised the boy's appearance again and again. The lady who was holding Zimu was not unhappy at all and also praised Zimu for being well-behaved.

Lin Qinshuang, who was originally happy to know that her concubine's daughter could also hold a full-month banquet, was shocked to learn that her daughter was not even registered under her name, and apart from the fact that she crawled out of her belly, Zimu had no relationship with her in the eyes of outsiders.

After receiving the news, Lin Qinshuang cried to Sheng Hong for a long time, but she also understood that this was the best arrangement for her daughter.

"Hiroro"

On the night of the full moon banquet, Sheng Hong coaxed the delicate and crying Lin Qinshuang with heartache: "Shuang'er, don't cry. You are not in good health. Crying like this is not good for your health."

"Hong Lang, I know that your arrangement is the best plan for our Mo'er, but Mo'er is my flesh and blood, Hong Lang."

Lin Qinshuang's crying directly brought out the deepest scar in Sheng Hong's heart. At that time, he was also taken away from his biological mother by Old Master Sheng's favorite concubine.

That concubine couldn't have children herself and wouldn't allow other people's children to survive.

If it weren't for Old Lady Sheng's rescue several times, he would have long been a victim of that evil woman. That evil woman took him away just to torture him...

"Shuang'er, don't cry. I'm not stopping Mo'er from recognizing you. Why are you crying?"

"Hong Lang, are you still willing to let Mo'er recognize me as his biological daughter?"

Sheng Hong looked at Lin Qinshuang with red eyes and smiled as he embraced her in his arms: "Madam didn't say that she wouldn't let Mo'er recognize you. She likes Mo'er very much and thinks that this way our Mo'er will have a better future."

"Just recognize me, just recognize me. When my father was convicted, all the women in my Lin family were confiscated and made slaves. If it weren't for my mother's connection with the old lady at home, which allowed me to enter the Sheng Mansion, and then the old lady took pity on me and made me free from slavery, I would..."
