He had no intention of letting his wife have another child.

After all, his wife suffered a lot during the birth of their two sons.

Her daughter is good, but she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer again.

Zhou Chengxin, looking smug, was glared at by Gu Zheyuan.

"Look at you showing off. Do you have a daughter? So what if I don't have a daughter? I don't have a best friend, so I'll treat your daughter as my own."

He calls me "uncle" now, so I treat him like my own niece. And now I'll have a niece to take care of me.

“My lord…” The servant who came from the backyard told Gu Zheyuan the whole story about Gu Ying.

Just as the servant finished speaking, a clap of thunder was heard from the backyard.

Gu Zheyuan frowned as he looked in the direction from which the thunder came.

"What's going on? Lightning struck in the middle of the day? And it struck my backyard?"

If this gets out, who knows what the rumors will be like in the city tomorrow.

Chengxing, let's go see what's going on.

No sooner had Gu Zheyuan finished speaking than another bolt of lightning struck the same spot.

The prefect's residence was crowded with people, and the two sudden claps of thunder from the backyard immediately attracted the attention of many.

Not only Gu Zheyuan, but Zhou Chengxing also rushed to the backyard.

Many of the guests in front were also running to the back, since their wives, sisters, daughters, or mothers were all in the backyard of the prefect's mansion.

Although some people may not have a very deep emotional bond with their families, in a society where the fate of the family is intertwined, they desperately do not want anything to happen to their loved ones.

Gu Kaizhen, who was discussing business with Su Yuanzhi, looked up and saw a bolt of lightning rushing towards his backyard. He quickly stood up, grabbed Su Yuanzhi, and started running towards the backyard.

Su Yuanzhi looked at the thunderclap in the sky and calmly shook his head.

"Kaizhen, don't worry, my junior sister is here. No demons or monsters will dare to cause trouble."

I think that lightning was most likely caused by that little girl.

Gu Kaizhen was stunned for a moment.

"That little girl can also summon heavenly lightning."

Gu Kaizhen knew Ning Bao was no ordinary girl; he had spent a lot of time playing with her during his stay in Chuyun Village.

He had always known that Ning Bao, despite her seemingly young age and somewhat dull demeanor, was actually quite extraordinary.

But he never imagined that a little child could attract heavenly lightning.

Su Yuanzhi smiled and whispered in Gu Kaizhen's ear,

"This is not some kind of heavenly lightning; it is clearly my junior sister's lightning-attracting talisman."

I think someone must have offended my junior sister. My junior sister has always been a person who holds grudges and seeks revenge on the spot. She never likes to hide anything.

A lightning strike is nothing to worry about.

Su Yuanzhi raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the murmuring crowd around him.

"It seems my junior sister is going to cause trouble for your family today. Although striking lightning is simple for her, the follow-up cleanup is not so simple."

Gu Kaizhen shook his head.

"What trouble? Ningbao is one of our own. If she has been wronged in our household, we should make amends."

Su Yuanzhi sighed helplessly.

"Let's go see which unlucky guy offended my junior sister."

Su Yuanzhi suddenly remembered that Ning Bao had been staring at the couple at the entrance of the prefect's mansion.

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head: could the unlucky people be that couple?

As far as he knew, the man was the magistrate of a county under Yunlu City, so Ning Bao should not have had any contact with them.

Thinking about his junior sister's abilities, Su Yuanzhi couldn't help but think to himself:

Maybe that couple offended a ghost.

The two walked hand in hand towards the backyard, and just as they reached the door, they ran into Zhou Chengxing and Gu Zheyuan, who were rushing out of the study.

……………

The backyard was in complete chaos.
