As soon as Qiao Shu said this, Xia Jing's expression changed suddenly.
She pulled Qiao Shu's sleeve and whispered, "Qiao Shu, Linlang is still a child."
Qiao Shu said proudly, "Xia Jing, Linlang is no ordinary child. She studied under a great Chinese doctor, and it was she who cured my aunt's headache. Speaking of which, if Linlang hadn't cured my aunt's headache, we wouldn't have been able to reunite with her so smoothly. Thinking about it this way, Linlang is our Qiao family's lucky star."
"Uncle, do you really want a second child?" Ye Linlang asked deliberately.
At Qiao Shu's age, influenced by traditional ideas, he still has an inexplicable obsession with having a son.
"Linlang." Qiao Shu looked at Ye Guojin's tall figure, and his heart was filled with longing for his son, who didn't even have a shadow. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Your uncle is still a little feudal. Although having a son or a daughter is the same, I really want a son from the bottom of my heart."
Xia Jing lowered her eyes with a hint of guilt on her face.
"Qiao Shu, it's all my fault. I... failed to give the Qiao family..."
Xia Jing's tears came suddenly.
These tears made Qiao Shu feel a little helpless.
Qiao Shu did want a son, but twelve years after his two daughters were born, Qiao Shu did not force Xia Jing to give birth to a son, nor did he force Xia Jing to take various folk remedies just because she was not pregnant.
Qiao Shu never thought of divorcing Xia Jing just because he had no son.
The reason why he said this today was mainly because he heard Qiao Suqing talk about Ye Linlang's medical skills, so he had such a little wishful thinking.
"Xia Jing, why are you crying?" Qiao Shu looked puzzled. "Linlang's medical skills are so good. If we weren't relatives, Linlang might not have treated us."
Ye Linlang was really worried that Qiao Shu and Xia Jing would quarrel here over the issue of "having a son", which would be really ugly.
"Uncle, from a scientific point of view, the decision of whether to have a son or a daughter is made by the man."
When Qiao Shu heard Ye Linlang's words, his expression eased a little.
He is a cultured person.
This is common sense.
"Linlang, Xia Jing had a heavy hemorrhage when she gave birth to your cousin." Qiao Shu glanced at Xia Jing and said, "It's my fault. If I had been with your aunt at the time and sent her to the hospital, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Xia Jing twisted her hands together nervously.
She regretted it.
She shouldn't have come to the imperial capital with Qiao Shu.
Ever since hearing the name Xia Zhi, Xia Jing has always felt uneasy.
It was as if the secret he had been hiding for decades was about to be exposed.
"Uncle, let me take a look at Auntie and prescribe some medicine to regulate her body. As for the second child, it's better to just let fate take its course."
"Xia Jing, stretch out your hand and let Linlang take your pulse!"
Xia Jing hesitated and refused to extend her hand, saying, "Qiao Shu, let's talk about it tonight. There are too many people here..."
"Linlang is not a stranger." Qiao Shu urged: "Hurry up."
Xia Jing reached out her hand to Ye Linlang helplessly, and Ye Linlang placed her fingers on Xia Jing's pulse.
Qiao Shu said from the side: "Linlang, do you think I should get checked too?"
Qiao Shu and Xia Jing had gone to the hospital for a check-up once before.
The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with either of them and that pregnancy should take its course naturally.
"By the way, uncle, have you met my aunt's sister Xia Zhi?"
