Madam Hou excitedly shouted, "Listening to that resonant voice, it must be my grandson."

"My Xie family has an heir."

The door opened and the midwife came out holding the baby.

Madam Hou went forward and said happily, "Let me see my grandson."

It was Qin Shuyu who noticed that the midwife's face looked strange, and she keenly sensed something.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

The midwife spoke tremblingly:

"Reporting to the old lady and the madam, the concubine inside gave birth to a daughter."

Boom!!!

Old Madam Hou took a few steps back as if struck by lightning. She was hit again and could only rely on the support of the nanny behind her to avoid falling down.

"No, the voice is so loud, it must be my grandson."

"You must have made a mistake."

Qin Shuyu went forward and lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes to check. Sure enough, it was really a girl...

Su Zhu also saw it, and her face was full of disappointment.

Qin Shuyu didn't say anything and didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

She arranged for the maids to take Madam Hou back to her room to rest, and arranged everything that followed before going to see Aunt Man.

When Aunt Man learned that it was a daughter, she burst into tears despite her weak body having just given birth.

"I'm so useless, how could I have given birth to a daughter?"

"Mmmmm, please don't send me away."

"I will listen to whatever you say from now on. Please leave me a bite to eat."

Qin Shuyu rubbed his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice:

"You just gave birth, don't think too much."

"The government isn't so tight on money that we have to deduct your monthly allowance."

After saying that, Qin Shuyu stood up and comforted Aunt Man. She had to go and see what Xie Yuchuan was doing next, as she was afraid that there would be another commotion.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"I'll listen to you from now on."

Aunt Man has now figured out who the real boss in the mansion is.

Now her pregnancy was not going well and she only gave birth to a daughter. She had no choice but to hold Qin Shuyu's thigh tightly.

At this moment, a few tears hung on her pale and bloodless face, making her look pitiful.

Qin Shuyu simply replied, "Behave yourself from now on, and I'll ensure you a worry-free life. From now on, the child will be raised in my name and will become my legitimate daughter."

"Thank you ma'am."

Aunt Man stood up to salute Qin Shuyu, but Qin Shuyu quickly signaled the maid serving Aunt Man with her eyes to stop her.

After leaving the courtyard where Aunt Man lived, Qin Shuyu came to the courtyard where Xie Yuchuan lived.

Before I even entered, I heard Xie Yuchuan's furious voice coming from inside.

"It's useless!"

"I've been treated to delicious food and drinks for so long, but I can't even give birth to a son."

"Why should such a person stay in the mansion? Just go to Zhuangzi and let him fend for himself."

The servants nodded in agreement and dared not respond. All the servants in the mansion knew that they dared not act on their own until Qin Shuyu had spoken.

Even though it was the Marquis' order, Qin Shuyu was the real person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Shuyu looked up at the sky. It was a deep blue sky, extremely clear, extremely peaceful, and extremely vast.

Such a blue sky, I wonder if Shen Wei can see it at the border?

She had heard Xie Yuchuan say before that all that could be seen at the border was the vast desert, with the sky dyed red with yellow and crimson, and no such clear colors could be seen.

Qin Shuyu thought of the conversation between them before Chen Wei left.

Chen Wei asked her what she would do if Aunt Man gave birth to a daughter.

Qin Shuyu hesitated at the time. She pursed her lips and said, "The doctor said Aunt Man is pregnant with a boy, so it should be a boy."
