After finishing her morning exercise, Gu Nian called Gu Xin to go to the Peng family's house.

She didn't believe her father at all! Xue Qianyu was clearly under General Peng's command.

Watching the two sisters leave happily, Gu Shouxin went to complain to Cai Xiaolian.

"Xiao Lian, raising a daughter is truly heartbreaking!" Gu Shouxin sighed.

"What's wrong? Did Niannian and Xinxin upset you?" Cai Xiaolian was drawing when she heard this. She looked up at Gu Shouxin, then looked down and continued drawing. "Is it because they're thinking about those two boys in the southern border region that's making you heartbroken?"

“Isn’t that right? I could tolerate it when it was just Xin Xin. Now Niannian is like this too. Didn’t you say that Niannian was hurt in a relationship and needed time to recover?” Gu Shouxin asked.

"Gu Shouxin, are you out of your mind? Our daughter has recovered and become cheerful again, and you still don't like her?" Cai Xiaolian put down her pen and glared at Gu Shouxin.

Gu Shouxin had a strong will to survive and shook his head vigorously.

Cai Xiaolian said, "So you're hoping she won't recover? Didn't you used to say Xue Xiaoer was a good person? Now that you're still thinking about him, you're unhappy?"

Gu Shouxin: "Didn't I used to dislike them? Although I've only known my two daughters for a little over three years, I truly consider them my own children! The thought of them getting married makes me uncomfortable! I even want to find two sons-in-law to live with me!"

Cai Xiaolian: "...You said before that Niannian and I should follow local customs. In Da Zhou, which family with a son can take in a son-in-law? Apart from special cases like our father, which family in Da Zhou is willing to be a son-in-law? Gu Shouxin, let me tell you, don't bully Ayuan and Qianyu. Anyway, I am very satisfied with them."

Gu Shouxin felt somewhat wronged.

My two daughters have been kidnapped. Now, is my wife going to side with those two scoundrels?

Cai Xiaolian found his pitiful expression somewhat amusing: "I say, Lord Gu, what time is it? Aren't you going to the yamen yet? Even if the yamen is right at home, you still have to change into your official robes and go to work! You're upset that your daughter is getting married and leaving you, so why don't you just tell those two boys not to go too far? Just let them settle down wherever you are, right? Also, Niannian is seventeen this year, you can keep her for two years, and Xinxin is only thirteen, she can stay for several more years. So why are you worrying so much?"

Gu Shouxin thought about it and agreed, so he said, "Let's try for another two years, and then we'll have another daughter. Two will get married, and we'll still have one! My dear wife, let's keep going!"

Cai Xiaolian: "..."

She picked up some booklet from the table and threw it at him: "Get to work!"

Gu Shouxin caught it steadily: "Madam, the Emperor wrote a letter urging us to have another child. We must obey the imperial decree and cannot disobey!"

Cai Xiaolian glared at Gu Shouxin: "Are you leaving or not? No..."

Gu Shouxin: "I'm getting out! I'm getting out! Madam, please don't be angry, please don't be angry. I'll go to work right away. We'll discuss the Emperor's decree again tonight!"

After saying that, he slipped away.

Cai Xiaolian was so angry she laughed.

This person is becoming more and more shameless.

She was even ordered to have a baby!

What kind of nonsense is this unreliable emperor spouting?!

Thinking of Gu Shouxin's pitiful look every time he thought about that thing since the first month of the lunar calendar, Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh.

However, she also felt it was thoughtful; Gu Shouxin had truly been vegetarian since the first month of the lunar calendar.

She had thought about this when she was heavily pregnant, but Gu Shouxin was afraid of hurting her, so he endured it.
