"Mother hasn't held her child in a arms for a long time. I'm afraid they are all unfamiliar."

Lin Fuying suddenly said from the side: "Don't throw your brother!"

"Ying'er is right. You haven't taken care of a child for a long time, so it's better not to hold him yet."

Prime Minister Lin heard her words and nodded in agreement.

"I asked you to come here because I have something to discuss with you."

He said it was a discussion, but the tone of his words did not sound like he wanted to discuss it.

"Master, please tell me."

The Prime Minister's wife hadn't realized anything was wrong, but Lin Xuan'er, who was standing by her, had already vaguely noticed something was wrong.

She always felt that what her father was going to say next would definitely not be good.

"That's what I think. Yun Niang has now given birth to a child safely. This child is the only heir of my prime minister's house. In the future, he will inherit everything in the house. Naturally, his status cannot be too low. Yun Niang was born as a maid. , if there is such a biological mother, it will definitely be detrimental to the child’s career."

Prime Minister Lin talked a lot before finally getting to the point.

"I want to make Yun Niang my equal wife, what do you think?"

"what?"

Rao, the Prime Minister's wife, who was always calm, was a little out of sorts at this moment.

She really didn't expect that what Prime Minister Lin asked her to come over to discuss was something like this.

You know, among aristocratic families, the significance of an equal wife is extraordinary.

It's definitely not what Prime Minister Lin said. As long as the Prime Minister's wife nods in agreement, everything will be fine.

"But Master, if you do this and let people outside know about it, wouldn't it mean that I am immoral?"

What's more, the person who was suddenly carried up was a maid.

If the ladies of those aristocratic families knew that even a maid could be on an equal footing with them, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"So," Prime Minister Lin frowned directly, "I have already said that I am just a wife, and the stewardship of the Prime Minister's Mansion will still be in your hands. Isn't this enough?"

"Yes, my father did this for the sake of his brother."

Lin Fuying looked proud, but she quickly returned to her usual disguise.

"I have been laughed at by my peers since I was a child, but that's okay. If my younger brother becomes an official in the court and cannot be promoted because of this kind of thing, what should I do?"

As soon as she said these words, the Prime Minister's wife, who was still hesitating, suddenly became a heinous being.

Not to mention, after so many years of subtle influence, in Prime Minister Lin's heart, the Prime Minister's wife is naturally not as gentle and petty as Aunt Li, and sometimes even annoying.

Prime Minister Lin nodded: "I think so too. When this child grows up, the higher his official position, the more you two can rely on, right?"

The you he was talking about were naturally referring to Lin Xuan'er and Lin Fuying.

Lin Xuan'er, however, would not be easily fooled by his words: "After what my father said, how long will it take? When he grows up, I'm afraid I will already be married and have children, so why do I need his help?"

Although her words sounded a bit unpleasant, they were also true.

Lin Xuan'er has now been born for more than three years, while Lin Fuying is only a few months younger than her and has already become the concubine of Prince Zhan's palace.

It will take at least ten years for this so-called younger brother to grow up enough to obtain the honors and honor his ancestors.

Who knows what the situation will be like ten years from now?

Lin Xuan'er's words also reminded the Prime Minister's wife. Mrs. Prime Minister smiled a little reluctantly: "Yes, sir, if you are worried about this, you might as well record this child in my name, so that it can be said that he is a direct descendant. Wouldn't that be great?"

In fact, many matrons of wealthy families would choose one of the children born by their concubines to keep by their side if they had nothing to do.

The Prime Minister's wife wanted to do this before, but none of the other concubines in the Prime Minister's residence were pregnant, so she naturally had no choice but to give up the idea.

"Wouldn't that mean my aunt and brother are separated?"

Lin Fuying was not willing to give up, pretending to be worried and continued to fan the flames.

"My aunt fought tooth and nail to give birth to a younger brother. Does Madam really want to be so cruel?"

There was an obvious ambiguity in her words.

It's like the method proposed by the Prime Minister's wife is to separate Aunt Li's mother and son alive.

But if the child is raised in the prime minister's house, can't Aunt Li still see each other every day?

What is the difference.

Lin Xuan'er suddenly became even more angry, "What, after Aunt Li gave birth to the baby, she could only lie on the bed?"

"If she can come here on time every day to greet her mother, won't she still be able to see her child?"

Since Aunt Li became pregnant, Prime Minister Lin took it upon himself to avoid paying her daily greetings.

She has never seen any concubine be so presumptuous.

"To shut up!"

Lin Xuan'er repeatedly contradicted him, making Prime Minister Lin even more embarrassed.

Just raising an equal wife, just like Yun Niang said, everything is for the sake of the children, isn't it?
  "Father won't let me say it, but I insist on saying it!"

Today, Lin Xuan'er has made up her mind not to let Lin Fuying and her daughter succeed.

Ignoring the obstruction of the Prime Minister's wife, she said directly: "Father, have you ever thought that Aunt Li is from a humble background and is not even qualified to be a noble concubine, so how can she be promoted to an equal wife?"

What Lin Xuan'er said was true, but in Lin Fuying's view, this was blatant contempt.

The malicious look in her eyes suddenly became more intense.

However, even if Lin Xuan'er looks down on their mother and daughter, what can she do?

Now, Prime Minister Lin has been completely won over to their mother and daughter's side. In a few days, Lin Xuan'er will not be the only noble lady in the Prime Minister's house.

When she thought about going out in the future, those ladies from aristocratic families who looked down on her would have to be more respectful. Lin Fuying deliberately imagined how comfortable she would be in the future.

"Also, father, don't forget that when my grandmother was alive, among the concubines in the house, she was the one she hated the most. If my father really raised her as an equal wife, wouldn't he be afraid of my grandmother's misfortune? Is there no peace for the rest of my life?"

Lin Xuan'er's series of words really made Prime Minister Lin hesitate.

Aunt Li only mentioned the matter of having a wife to him after giving birth.

Aunt Li and Lin Fuying deliberately attracted the child, so much so that Prime Minister Lin agreed without thinking too much.

In his opinion, as long as it is beneficial to his son, why can't he do it?

Even if you do this, you will wrong your married wife.

"Low status is not a problem. I remember that your mother's family seems to have a distant relative with the same surname as Yun Niang. When the time comes, let them adopt Yun Niang as their adopted daughter. Won't the identity problem be solved?"

Prime Minister Lin said it in an extremely relaxed manner, completely ignoring how embarrassing this arrangement was for the Prime Minister's wife.
