Lin Hairu, after hearing Luo Yining's suggestion, recalled how Luo Shenyuan had once carried her on his back to another courtyard when she twisted her ankle, showing that, despite his cold demeanor, he had a warm heart and was someone who knew how to repay kindness. Lin Hairu then went to Luo Chengzhang and proposed officially adopting Luo Shenyuan as her son. Luo Chengzhang immediately opposed the idea.

He had never thought highly of Luo Shenyuan since childhood, and now, the idea of making him the heir seemed like pure luck. Luo Chengzhang was about to summon Luo Shenyuan to harshly criticize him, saying things like "not knowing his place. " But at that moment, Luo Chengzhang’s teacher arrived. Luo Chengzhang quickly stood up to greet him. His teacher had come specifically to express gratitude to Luo Shenyuan.

Recently, Luo Shenyuan had helped Master Sun and Minister Wang write a few articles, which had been well received by the emperor, who even rewarded them. Both teachers praised Luo Chengzhang for having such an excellent son and suggested that Luo Shenyuan should take the imperial exams this year. With his teacher’s recommendation, even though Luo Chengzhang was unwilling, he had no choice.

After the two teachers left, Luo Chengzhang called Luo Shenyuan in and unceremoniously accused him of being scheming by involving his superior to put in a good word. He demanded that Luo Shenyuan take the exams this year, or else the teacher would criticize him for not being broad-minded and for not being a good father. Luo Shenyuan, however, remained calm and composed.

He openly stated that he didn’t necessarily want to take the imperial exams, and if Luo Chengzhang didn’t agree, he wouldn’t force it. After Luo Shenyuan left, the old matriarch arrived. She knew that what Luo Shenyuan cared most about was Luo Xuanyuan. However, despite many years, Luo Xuanyuan had shown little academic progress.

Now, with Luo Shenyuan already displaying great literary talent, once he was included in the family genealogy and succeeded in the exams, he would certainly bring honor to the Luo family. Luo Chengzhang finally agreed to let Luo Shenyuan be added to the family genealogy. For the first time, Luo Shenyuan sat down for a meal at the same table with Luo Yining, Lin Hairu, Luo Yiyu, and others.

After the formalities, Luo Shenyuan’s name was officially written into the family genealogy. While wandering the streets, Luo Yining took an interest in a shop and, after some bargaining, decided to finalize the purchase the next day. Lin Mao, who noticed Luo Yining’s interest in the shop earlier, guessed that she wanted to go into business.

Since Lin Mao typically worked with making fragrances and cosmetics, he suggested that, if Luo Yining wanted to run a business, it would be inappropriate for an ordinary woman to be out in public. He offered to partner with her in the venture. The next day, Luo Yining and Lin Mao went to negotiate with the shop owner.

Just as they had agreed on a price, a representative from Longquan Trading entered, determined to buy the shop, offering to pay double what Luo Yining had negotiated. Luo Yining didn’t have that much money and was feeling stuck. Suddenly, she noticed Luo Shenyuan standing at the door, looking a bit awkward. Luo Yining observed that he and the representative from Longquan Trading seemed to exchange glances.

Hoping that Luo Shenyuan would help her persuade the buyer to back off, she asked him for assistance. Luo Shenyuan, pretending to be unaware, asked the other party what they intended to do with the shop. In reality, the representative was one of Luo Shenyuan’s men, who had planned to acquire the shop. But seeing that Luo Yining was interested, Luo Shenyuan ultimately made a compromise.

That evening, one of Luo Shenyuan’s attendants couldn’t help but comment on Luo Yining’s plan to buy the shop, expressing doubt about women running businesses. However, Luo Shenyuan disagreed, stating that Luo Yining was not an ordinary woman, although he acknowledged that she would likely face some difficulties after opening the shop.
