Uncle Gu looked at Gu Xin expectantly, also wanting to know whether his first grandchild would be a grandson or a granddaughter.

Of course, he hoped for a granddaughter like Huihui, who was smart and wouldn't cause him any trouble.

After Uncle Gu said that, everyone seemed to be looking forward to it, and they all looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin felt a slight headache. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think my eldest sister will give me a nephew, and my second sister will give me a niece!"

Uncle Gu was displeased: "Why? Why is it your second sister who gave birth to your niece instead of your eldest sister? They are all your nephews and nieces, you can't be biased."

Gu Xin sighed, "Uncle, your favoritism is a bit too much! Why does my eldest sister have to have my niece?"

Uncle Gu: "The girl is lovely and sensible! But look at the boys in the house, they're such a nuisance!"

Gu En and Gu Ren, whose names were called, along with a group of immature boys, all looked at Uncle Gu.

Gu Xin was speechless. She explained, "Your eldest sister's child is the eldest of the fourth generation in our family, right? He has to be a nephew, otherwise how can he protect his younger siblings?"

Uncle Gu: "Xinxin, you little ingrate! Didn't Huihui protect you before?"

Gu Xin: "..."

Everyone was amused by the uncle and nephew.

Gu Nian was quite satisfied with the result. To be honest, she also wanted a daughter. A daughter would be so wonderful; she could braid her hair and style it into all sorts of cute hairstyles whenever she wanted.

The boy wouldn't work. Given Xue Qianyu's personality, if it were a boy, he would probably be sent to the Gu family for strict discipline when he was two years old.

So it's better to have a daughter first, at least she'll be the daughter first, and then the son will have an older sister to dote on him later.

Fathers usually dote on their daughters; with an older sister around, a younger brother's life is much easier.

"Alright, everyone's back. Dinner's almost ready. Let's go eat in the dining room! I just had the kitchen cook the Taizhou specialties that Xinxin brought back. And let me tell you, they're really delicious!" Zhang called everyone to dinner.

Now, Zhang Shi manages the entire inner quarters of the Gu family. Under her great-aunt's guidance, Zhang Shi is basically able to handle things independently.

There are many people in the family, so we had to set up two tables to seat them all.

At the dinner table, after they had almost finished eating, Gu Shouxin asked about Gu Xin's situation in Taizhou.

The family members of the Donglin Prince's Mansion actually knew almost everything about the case, since Gu Xin had clearly written down all the details of the case and asked Constable Gao to bring them back to the capital.

The last two cases weren't described in much detail, so Gu Xin slowly began to recount them, including how she met Fatty Wang, Du San Niang, and Master Qian.

"Why did you find a fat guy to help you?" Gu Shouxin began to doubt his daughter's judgment and was somewhat disgusted.

He didn't dislike fat people; he just felt that children of officials who grew up to be fat were undisciplined and lacked self-control. He was afraid that such people would corrupt his daughter.

"Hehe, Dad, I don't know what I was thinking. I just saw him drinking so happily, and I figured he must have some good points! So I let him follow me. It's okay to drink with him whenever I want!" Gu Xin said shyly.

Gu Shouxin glanced at her but said nothing.

“Xinxin, young ladies should drink less alcohol! Even though you’re healthy, we can’t let you become an alcoholic! Second brother, second sister-in-law, you two are really something, never saying a word!” Uncle Gu rarely spoke a normal sentence.
