When Chang Hui saw that the atmosphere was more or less right, she once again mentioned, "Aunt Chen Yao, once Uncle Gu Bei has recovered, I think you should persuade him to adopt two children from our clan so that they can be by your side and take care of you two. That way, everyone will be at ease. The kids will have to be able to care for you, so don't pick the younger ones. Pick those who are in their twenties—adults and capable of doing things and helping you out!"
Bai Jie and Zheng Xiu lowered their heads and pretended to drink water. Chen Yao froze for a moment. Her smile faded, and her voice cooled as she replied, "There's no need for that. Every child is precious to their family. Their parents have painstakingly raised them, so how can we bear to take them away? That would be cruel."
