The two cried to each other for a while. When Liu Sisi saw that there was no one in the room, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and whispered, "Sister, now that the grandmother is pregnant, if it's a boy, I'm afraid that you and Brother Lun's life will be even more difficult——"

Zhao smiled bitterly: "Even if it's sad, we have to live with it! This is fate, and we have no control over it——"

Liu Sisi's eyes flickered, and she moved closer. "But Brother Lun is still young! I like him the moment I see him, and I really don't want to make him sad! Sister, tell me, if Grandma really gives birth to a boy, won't she always be superior to Brother Lun?"

"Lung'er is such a smart and filial child, but he will have to live under the shadow of his younger brother for the rest of his life. I just feel sorry for him—"

As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief and began to wipe his tears.

These words aroused Zhao's sorrow. She looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. Liu Sisi was her cousin and they couldn't be closer.

So he leaned over and whispered, "Who says he isn't? My brother Lun is sensible, smart, and filial. He's the best child! And the eldest master loves him the most! He's truly the eldest master's eldest grandson."

"Even before, he even said it insinuatingly more than once, praising Brother Lun for being like him and saying he could inherit the master's legacy in the future! Now, look, suddenly this Cheng Yaojin shows up. Brother Lun, he's going to suffer in the future—"

"If you don't believe me, just look at this. Even though the eldest uncle and his wife don't have a son yet, they're already looking down on us. They're trying to win over the second and third wives and suppress us. Who can't see that? Your cousin-in-law and I have always been putting up with it for Brother Lun."

"Now, if that girl is really pregnant, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to stand in this family!"

Liu Sisi held Zhao's hand, her face full of sympathy: "Cousin, what are you going to do? And what about your cousin-in-law? What does he think?"

Zhao pouted, "What else can we do now? We can only hope that the girl is pregnant with a girl! Your cousin-in-law, your cousin-in-law probably doesn't know the news yet! If he knew, I'm afraid he would be very upset!"

Liu Sisi lowered her head, thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Grandma had Yue Jie'er before, and she hadn't gotten pregnant in all these years. How come she suddenly got pregnant?"

Zhao said bitterly, "Her mother's family is the Duke of Ping's Mansion. She found a miracle doctor somewhere, and he actually cured her body! If I had known this miracle doctor was so good, I should have gone to get his help. Who knows, I might be pregnant again now—"

Seeing that Zhao Shi didn't understand the main point, Liu Sisi accidentally deviated from the topic.

Patiently comforting, "Don't worry so much. Grandma hasn't been happy for many years. Now she's suddenly happy. Maybe it's a girl!"

"There's a saying in my hometown: some women can only give birth to daughters, and are destined to have no sons! Some women are destined to have only sons, and no daughters at all."

"I've seen that in this mansion, apart from other things, the eldest grandmother has only given birth to daughters. And you and your brother-in-law have only given birth to sons!"

Zhao liked to hear this and said happily, "That's right. I was able to marry into the Marquis' Mansion because I read my horoscope and face, and they said I had the appearance of a son, so they decided on the marriage."

"If it really doesn't work, your cousin-in-law and I will have a few more sons. Then the master will look down on us because he has so many grandchildren. He will not leave us nothing at all." Zhao said dejectedly.

Liu Sisi didn't expect that Zhao was so useless. She didn't even know whether the baby in Hu's belly was a boy or a girl, so she got discouraged.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, he heard a report from outside that Third Master Fu Zhiming had returned.

Liu Sisi quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

His eyes sparkled as he looked towards the door.

The door curtain was lifted, and Fu Zhiming walked in with a sullen face, just in time to meet Liu Sisi's dazzling eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and after taking a few glances, he seemed to be sure: "Is this Liu's cousin?"

Liu Sisi hurriedly bowed to Fu Zhiming and said softly, "Sisi greets my cousin-in-law!"

Fu Zhiming's expression softened a lot: "Cousin, there's no need to be so polite!"

The two of them exchanged greetings, and Liu Sisi glanced at Zhao cautiously, "Cousin, since my cousin-in-law is back, I'll go back first!"

When Zhao saw Fu Zhiming coming back, she had a lot to say and complain about.

Knowing that it would be inconvenient for Liu Sisi to be here, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back first! Come back tomorrow."

Liu Sisi bowed again before leaving.

Before she even walked out of the yard, Liu Sisi heard the sound of something falling inside.

His heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head and hurried away with the girl.

Inside the house.

Fu Zhiming frowned, took a sip of tea, and then lost his temper: "It's so hot, and you still brew such hot tea. How can the servants in this room serve you? Beat them with ten boards and send them out——"

Fu Zhiming was furious, and no one in the yard dared to breathe.

It was Zhao's maid Yuzhu who made the tea, but Zhao didn't dare to speak for Yuzhu at this moment. She just gave a look and had someone drag Yuzhu, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, away.

He then signaled the servants in the room to leave, and then sat down next to Fu Zhiming: "Third Master, what should we do?"

Fu Zhiming glanced at Zhao, turned his head away in disgust, and said in a sullen voice, "What should we do? If the heavens don't allow Boss and the others to die, what else can we do? Of course we have to be happy and look forward to the birth of the great-grandson of the Marquisate!"

Zhao was anxious: "Hu, if sister-in-law is really pregnant with a boy, what will happen to our brother Lun?"

Fu Zhiming glared at her and covered her mouth: "Shut up! Is this what you should say?"

Zhao reluctantly pushed Fu Zhiming's hand away, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and sat aside with drooping eyes.

Fu Zhiming rubbed his forehead and asked, "Have you sent the gifts to my brother and sister-in-law?"

Zhao snorted coldly: "I am so angry today, how can I have time to send them gifts——"

"Idiot!" Fu Zhiming couldn't help but curse.

"The more time passes, the more you have to hide it from others! Are you stupid? If you don't send us a gift at this time, isn't it obvious that we are unhappy? Why are we unhappy? You can't tell by looking at others, right? Don't forget, there are still the eldest wife, the ancestors, and the grandfather watching over us."

"Are you going to kill me? Kill Brother Lun?" Fu Zhiming tried his best to endure it.

"Well, then I'll go and prepare now! I didn't mean to do that. I was humiliated by my sister-in-law and the others today, so I must be unhappy. I'll send it over now, isn't it okay for me to send it over?" Zhao knew she was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and muttered.

"The gifts are very generous, don't be reluctant to accept them, or you will make a fool of yourself!" Fu Zhiming reminded from behind.

Zhao had a bitter face and went to the warehouse with her people, fighting and arguing.
