Liang Hui wanted to adopt a child. She had no intention of hiding this from her daughter, especially since her daughter was of an age to be married and there were matters she wanted to teach her.
"Sister-in-law, there's nothing we can't discuss between us. Just say whatever is on your mind." Lin Youning assumed her sister-in-law had some request for her.
"Sister Ning, seeing you treat the adopted child as your own today, I also considered adopting one. But while I have this thought now, I don't know if your brother and father will agree. You know, after all, it's not our own, and the Duke Mansion's title can't be inherited by an outsider. However, thinking about the future when we're gone and there will be no one to offer incense for us, I feel even more that I'm failing your brother." Liang Hui tried not to cry, but tears fell involuntarily as she spoke about these matters.
