Regarding childbirth, the traditional belief in the State of Qi was that many children brought many blessings, and people were encouraged to have as many children as they could. Moreover, Marquis Wuqing, as a powerful and influential marquis, had a wealthy and powerful household with a large number of servants, including wet nurses and maids.
As the eldest son of a marquis, He Yunxiao was the only male heir in the family, and he could be as lawless in this regard as his reputation. He could marry and have children as he pleased, as many as he wanted. If he had too few children, he would be scolded; only by having many children would he be respected and his household would be peaceful.
However, this is the opinion of the people of Qi.
He Yunxiao, a fine young man from modern times who traveled back in time, would certainly not have a child in this way.
His idea was for each of the female leads to have one child, so that when he wasn't home, they could take care of each other's kids and keep each other entertained. He Yunxiao would definitely not allow Fan Ziruo's idea of having five children.
The important thing about having children is participation, not the outcome.
Ziruo's idea of having five children is dangerous and must be corrected.
He Yunxiao said earnestly, "Ziruo, your story is very well written, but there's one thing I don't quite understand. Why did Fan Zi give birth to five children for He Xiaosheng?"
Even modern women find it hard to remain calm when it comes to childbirth, let alone Fan Ziruo, who is quite conservative in this regard.
He Yunxiao only saw Ziruo's cheeks flush red as she stammered, "No, it doesn't necessarily have to be five. I just want Fan Zi to have more children for He Xiao. To make He Xiao happier."
After Fan Ziru finished speaking in fits and starts, she secretly glanced at He Yunxiao, wanting to see what he thought about this.
Would five children be too few? If he wants more children, then Ziruo... ptooey! Then Fan Zi can have a few more for He Xiao.
He Yunxiao organized his thoughts and said, "Having children is something we should do according to our physical capabilities. If a wife ruins her health by having children, I don't think the husband will be happy. Moreover, childbirth requires ten months of pregnancy, which is troublesome, painful, tiring, and can easily lead to health problems. It would be better to have fewer children and focus on raising them."
Fan Ziru tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled, and said, "Young Master, childbirth is tiring, but how can you give up because of that?"
He Yunxiao remained silent.
This little girl, Ziruo, doesn't even know how to give birth, so why is she thinking about having a baby every day?
He simply asked, "Ziruo, do you really like children?"
Fan Ziruo blushed immediately upon hearing He Yunxiao's question.
The man directly asked the woman if she liked children...
However, looking at He Yunxiao's expression, which showed no hint of jest, and his slightly serious demeanor, Fan Ziruo guessed that He Yunxiao was probably just asking a simple question and had no other intention.
Fan Ziruo put aside her strange thoughts, faced the question squarely, and then frowned and said, "Ziruo doesn't actually like children very much."
This time, He Yunxiao was surprised. She didn't like it, yet she wanted so many children?
He quickly asked, "Why?"
Fan Ziruo said, "Children have a lot of energy and are too noisy."
Ziruo, who has never liked noise, gave a response that was both unexpected and reasonable.
He Yunxiao then asked, "If you don't like it, why do you want to have several?"
Fan Ziruo glanced at He Yunxiao, her face immediately turning red. She then looked away, but finding nowhere else to look, she had no choice but to return her gaze to He Yunxiao.
“It is only natural for a woman to marry and bear children for another man. If Ziruo marries in the future and her husband wants her to have more children, Ziruo will certainly be willing.”
Hearing this, He Yunxiao finally understood.
No wonder Ziruo doesn't like children, yet she's always thinking about having more. It turns out she actually likes her husband, and she's always assumed that men like children, and she wants to make her husband happy. So, based on her imagination, she naturally came up with the idea of having more children.
He Yunxiao said helplessly, "Ziruo, to tell you the truth, I don't like children either. Stop thinking about having more children."
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 75 to 75.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 75 to 76.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 76 to 76.
He Yunxiao: ?
Holy crap? What happened? Ziruo's affection level actually increased by a little?
He Yunxiao racked his brains, but couldn't figure out why Fan Ziruo's favorability rating had suddenly increased. Wasn't it said they had a grudge? Had that grudge been resolved?
Unable to figure it out, He Yunxiao turned his attention back to his younger sister, Ziruo. But to his surprise, when he looked at the woman opposite him, he saw her watery eyes and her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment.
Oh no... what on earth happened?
He Yunxiao asked cautiously, "Ziruo, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Fan Ziruo blushed, and it seemed as if steam was rising from the top of her head.
She muttered, "Young master, don't talk nonsense. Ziruo isn't married yet."
He Yunxiao was a little confused. He quickly tried to recall what he had just said to see if he had made a mistake.
Upon reflection, He Yunxiao immediately realized that something was seriously wrong.
At first, she said, "Zi Ruo's husband wants her to have more children, and of course Zi Ruo is willing." Then she subconsciously added, "I don't like children either, so stop thinking about having more children."
Oh no, oh no, a huge mistake has occurred!
Because of the affection system, he knew from the beginning that she couldn't escape and would definitely marry him, so he subconsciously took on the role of her husband!
