Chapter 848 - 182: The Birth of Xixi_4
Seeing Pei Yuan and her mother-in-law, Madam Zhao, hand out several large silver ingots, Fang Hui secretly curled her lips in satisfaction. No matter how capable one is, she still can’t give birth to a son! The first one was a girl who caused so much pain, will the second one hurt as well? Wait until she gives birth to three or five girls, then this little wench, Pei Qin, will be finished. Even if Mo Heng doesn’t return to the Mo family, with his official position and handsome looks, won’t there be a crowd of young ladies and daughters-in-law vying for his attention?
Ever since Fang Hui knew that Pei Qin had given birth to a daughter, she had been very happy, secretly cursing that Pei Qin would continue to give birth to daughters.
Grandma Fang and Lady Yu both spoke with Madam Zhao, keeping an anxious eye on Pei Yuan. If Pei Yuan also had a daughter, wouldn’t she be disappointed and disregard Pei Yuan? Pei Qin didn’t have in-laws, sisters-in-law, or little sisters-in-law, but Pei Yuan was different.
Madam Zhao held Jiujiu, brimming with delight, suggesting that Pei Yuan should also have a smart and adorable daughter, "Boys are mischievous and troublesome to raise, girls are so much better! I’m hoping that Yuanyuan will also have a daughter, we can have sons at any time! Daughters are so endearing!"
Whether it was sincere or not, Grandma Fang and Lady Yu were both very pleased to hear this, yet in their hearts, they still hoped Pei Yuan would give birth to a son to secure her position in her husband’s family swiftly and establish her status.
Pei Qin felt nothing about it; in her view, daughters and sons were the same. Didn’t her parents have just her, a daughter? Yet having one more wouldn’t be too many, otherwise, wouldn’t they be lonely and pitiful in their old age like her?
She complied with Mo Heng’s wishes, honestly staying home for confinement, eating whatever was provided, and taking supplements when instructed. Within a couple of weeks, she had plumped up.
News from Xiao Guangbi arrived, assigning Mo Heng to take up his post in Xining and to take charge of Xining Guard within a year.
