Fourth Grandfather's words made Ruan Qishan tense up, but he didn't immediately declare his stance.
Seeing that Ruan Qishan did not refute his words, fourth Grandfather immediately shared a look with Old Fifth and Old Seventh as well as Ruan Guofu before continuing, "I also know that Ruan Zeyan hasn't been married for long, but his feelings for his wife run deep. However, in a clan as big as ours, feelings are useless. Having feelings alone with no heir is useless, and there is no way he can just adopt someone from outside."
"Of course not," Ruan Qishan immediately refused the matter of adoption.
Fourth Grandfather nodded. "Naturally, adoption won't do, yet Zeyan's wife is infertile. Besides adopting, what else can they do?"
Madame Ruan sighed, her face full of grief and regret. In the eyes of those people, it seemed that Madame Ruan was regretful that Ling Tianya is infertile and therefore won't have a great-grandson.
