Chapitre 162: Lantern Festival in Chang'an

Second Madam said in tears, "If only you had a brother! Sadly, you don't have any brothers. If you can't find a good husband, what will happen to you after your father and I die?"

Then she said to Old Madam Qiao, "Mother, although we have been separated from the Duke Mansion, we are still family, and I wish to adopt a son of Third Brother-in-law…"

Old Madam Qiao had such a plan for a long time, but the Duke's third brother was not born by her but by a concubine. Although he respected her as her nominal mother, she couldn't just order him to give one of his sons to her second son.

"When Jinniang gets married, Third Brother-in-law will return from the Southwest, at that time you can talk to him about this, Mother." Second Madam said to Old Madam Qiao.

Old Madam Qiao said, "We will discuss this matter later."
