Chapter 346 I Don't Have That Fate

Hua Wanli tried every possible method to have a daughter and not waste her opportunity to use donor sperm.

A month before the sperm donation, she strictly followed the diet she had obtained from Huayueniang.

We dare not be careless even for a single meal.

She even ate the secret recipe for conceiving a daughter passed down through generations at Wanhualou for ten consecutive days.

Furthermore, when she sought to borrow sperm from Huangfu Ruolang, she even used the positions described in those flower illustrations as suitable for conceiving a daughter...

When she realized she had already fallen for him, she would touch her belly every day and say that.

"My daughter! You must make us proud! The Wan Hua Lou in Jiangnan depends on you!"

Even when she later experienced symptoms, and although she craved sour foods, she forced herself to eat spicy food for three months straight...

Later, the corners of my mouth got sore from eating it.

She doesn't know what others think of her.

She was very certain that she would have a daughter.

Even though many people said she was likely carrying a boy, she remained convinced...

Who could know...

It's a boy! How is he supposed to inherit the Wan Hua Lou brothel?!

I even mocked my mother for not being able to give birth to a daughter last time!

I never expected that karma would strike me so soon!

Seeing the midwife smilingly hand the baby over, Hua Wanli finally couldn't help but cry.

"My daughter! Where have you gone! Come back!"

Upon hearing the news, Shangguan Jin and Shen Qingyue entered...

"Don't cry! How can you cry right after giving birth!"

"Quickly wipe away your tears." Shangguan Jin hurriedly gestured to the maid beside her to wipe Hua Wanli's face clean.

Even after her tears were wiped away, Hua Wanli remained listless.

After working so hard for so long, I've been struggling with the question of who to sleep with, or whether to sleep with anyone at all, for a long time.

And then she had to endure all that hardship while heavily pregnant.

In the end, she actually gave birth to a boy...

How could Hua Wanli not be heartbroken? How could she not be sad?

"Whether you have a boy or a girl is the same; it's just a matter of probability."

Don't overthink it, okay?

"No matter what, this is the child you carried and gave birth to after all your hard work," Shangguan Jin advised.

Hua Wanli pouted and couldn't help but say.

"Madam, please tell me what exactly is going on here!"

My mother desperately wanted to have a girl, but she ended up giving birth to my younger brother.

I wanted to have a girl, but it turned out to be another boy.

Does this mean our Wan Hua Lou (Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion) is doomed to die out?

"Don't worry! They'll never have any offspring. Maybe even the young master will have a daughter in the future!" Shen Qingyue advised from the side.

"That's right! Maybe Young Master Lian will only have daughters in the future!"

"Or, let your mother give birth to another little sister for you." Shangguan Jin joked from the side.

Hua Wanli shook her head.

"My mother said she probably won't be able to have a daughter."

They say my dad is amazing; even my birth was an accident.

If she wants to have another daughter, she'll have to find me a different father.

I really didn't expect that Huangfu Ruolang would be just like my father!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have looked for him!" Hua Wanli said angrily.

Neither Shangguan Jin nor Shen Qingyue made a sound.

They wouldn't dare to respond to that lightly.

They're talking tough now, but who knows if they'll make up in bed later!

Also, Hua Wanli did say that.

How could a top-notch man bear to sleep with you only once?

Of course, you can sleep whenever you want...

Shangguan Jin and Shen Qingyue could only offer comfort in other ways.

Finally, when Huangfu Ruolang returned with a 500-year-old ginseng, Hua Wanli had composed herself.

At this moment, she is playing with the baby in the wet nurse's arms.

Newborn babies have wrinkled faces and red skin, just like little red shrimp.

"When he grows up, he will definitely be a handsome and dashing young master," Shangguan Jin praised.

Huangfu Ruolang stood on the outside, trying to make Hua Wanli see him, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he didn't dare to go too close.

Hua Wanli had already seen him.

She just hummed in response and then continued to hold the baby in the wet nurse's arms.

"Madam Shen, what name do you think we should give this child?" Hua Wanli asked.

Shangguan Jin couldn't figure it out.

The ancients had many considerations when naming their children.

It must be based on the generational order in the family genealogy, and also on the birth date and time.

We can't be too casual about it.

“There’s no rush now. We can wait until the child grows up and start over slowly.” Shen Qingyu glanced at Huangfu Ruolang, who was eager to try behind them, and quickly tried to smooth things over.

Hua Wanli thought for a moment, and then suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"How about... we name him Hua Manlou?"

Everyone in the room...

Shen Qingyue first looked at Hua Wanli, and then glanced at Huangfu Ruolang, who was still hesitating whether to take two steps forward.

It seems the child has taken Hua Wanli's surname.

Hmm, is Huangfu Ruolang really going to be a live-in son-in-law?

Shangguan Jin was also taken aback by this name for quite a while...

Hua Manlou... What a wonderful name!

Based on the looks of this child's parents and their family background, this child won't even need to wait for Xiang Shuai to appear when he grows up.

He could dominate the martial arts world on his own...

"Great name! Absolutely a great name! It's unconventional and makes one's imagination run wild. It's truly a great name!" Shangguan Jin immediately chimed in.

Hua Wanli smiled smugly.

Madam Shen has a better eye; she knows it's a good name!

......

Hua Wanli gave birth smoothly, and after Shangguan Jin stayed there for a while, she took Shen Qingyue back.

As for how Huangfu Ruolang and Hua Wanli would argue, these outsiders shouldn't get involved.

When they left the courtyard, Shen Qingyue and Shangguan Jin got into the carriage first.

Dongmai took a second look at Lian Qianli before leaving home.

She felt that this young master Lian was being a little too attentive to the young lady today.

Not only did they serve tea and snacks promptly, but they also remembered to provide hand warmers, even for small things like that.

Oh, and also, the young lady always greets him with a smile when she speaks to him.

But it seems that Young Master Lian is keeping his distance from Young Miss.

However, when the young lady doesn't speak to him, even the young master will look at her.

Did the two of them have a fight?

No way! With such a good personality, how could the young lady argue with someone!

However, even if there is an argument, it will definitely be the young master's problem...

Dongmai has decided that she must ask her mistress when she is less busy.

Let's see if they really had a fight.

If they really do argue, she must come and tell Young Master Lian, "The young lady is so kind, please don't argue with her..."

"Winter wheat? Why isn't it coming up yet?" Shangguan Jin's voice came from inside the carriage.

Winter Wheat finally came to her senses.

Let's not ask for now.

When we get back, we'll talk to Yunniang about it. Maybe she'll analyze it and figure out what's going on!
