Chapter 126 Is there some metaphysical power in this?
Pei's words were enough to shock Kong, and listening to Lu Xinran's words at this time was like opening up a new world.
If that were the case, then she and her husband wouldn't have to worry about it...
With the support of her mother-in-law, she knew how to persuade her husband when she returned.
Lu Xinran came to the White Horse Temple today mainly to eat melons, but it was bad luck when she met Song Junhe.
"Second sister, grandma is taking a nap, how about we go for a walk in the back hills?"
Lu Xinling held Lu Xinran's hand, her eyes sparkling.
They didn't go to the back mountain just now and didn't hear the most intense part. Now they beat their chests and stamp their feet when they think about it.
Lu Xinran was still hesitating whether to go out for a walk again, but when she heard her sister ask, she immediately stood up and said goodbye to the elders, and the four sisters went out to the back mountain.
I shouldn’t be unlucky enough to meet those princes again this time!
She seemed to have just seen the wife and daughter of Qi Shouzheng, the Vice Minister of War, as well as the family of the Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, the family of the new Minister of the Ministry of Rites... and so on.
This White Horse Temple will surely become the next melon field.
She was so excited thinking about it that the two sisters who were holding her arms were also extremely excited.
"Second sister, I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else."
Lu Xinling rolled her big eyes and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she continued speaking.
"I heard that the wife of the Minister of War, Lord Qi, came here to pray for a child. They have been married for nearly ten years, but Lord Qi's wife, Qian, has given birth to four daughters, but no son.
"Not only is she unable to give birth to a son, but all the concubines in Lord Qi's house have given birth to daughters. Madam Qi is worried, and Lord Qian is also worried.
"If it weren't for the fact that all the concubines gave birth to daughters, Lord Qi's mother would have wanted him to divorce his wife and marry someone else."
Lu Xinran was instantly embarrassed. This, this isn't some big news, right?
It's a pity that Lord Qi is not here, otherwise I would have asked the system to give him a 'full body check'.
She was mumbling to herself, and the people around her who heard the noise all followed them silently.
Qian was feeling sad and sighing in the pavilion in the back hills.
Ever since she gave birth to her eldest daughter, she has come to the White Horse Temple to pray almost every month, hoping to give birth to a son to continue the Qi family's bloodline.
But as if God wanted to play a trick on her, she gave birth to three daughters in a row.
After the second daughter was born, the mother-in-law expressed her dissatisfaction with her in her words and forced her to stop giving contraceptive soup to the concubines.
The three concubines became pregnant one after another, but all the babies they gave birth to were daughters.
Later she gave birth to two more daughters, and her concubines gave birth to four more girls.
The mother-in-law went from being in disbelief at first to now chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha in the Buddhist temple every day with trepidation, hoping that God would have mercy on the Qi family and allow their family to continue to have descendants.
She lowered her head and touched her belly. She had injured her body due to a difficult labor when she gave birth to her fourth daughter. The imperial physician told her privately that even with proper conditioning, it would be extremely difficult to get pregnant.
If she doesn't have a son...is she really only able to adopt a son from the clan?
Just as I was struggling with pain, a voice that I had heard in the palace suddenly appeared in my ears.
[Hey, Madam Qi is actually in the back mountain. ]
She panicked and was about to call her maid to help her down the mountain and leave quickly when she heard the voice again.
[Let me see what's going on with the Qi family. Why are there only girls in the house and not a single boy? ]
These words immediately suppressed Qian's desire to leave.
Their family... has no descendants, which is already the most shameful thing. What could be more embarrassing than this?
Qian, feeling sad, stood up and then sat back down again.
[Strange, Madam Qi is fine. She has tried every possible way to give birth to a first son over the years, even taking the folk prescriptions given by the imperial physician.]
[Moreover, her daughters are healthy, intelligent, and beautiful.]
[She is definitely a good wife and a good mother. It is definitely not her fault that she cannot give birth to a son. ]
[She has recovered from the injuries she sustained when giving birth to her youngest daughter, but she has not been able to get pregnant in the past few years. It should be because of too much psychological pressure.]
[Ah, Mrs. Qi is so pitiful. Whether to have a boy or a girl is decided by men. Why put pressure on women? ]
[Also, all the concubines in their house gave birth to daughters, so it is obvious that there is something wrong with Qi Shouzheng.]
Lu Xinran quickly flipped through Qi's booklet, and her fear of marriage increased again.
It's too terrible that you keep giving birth if you can't give birth to a son.
No, marrying for a happy marriage is not the best choice, she wants to choose being a widow!
Qian was stunned. So, it wasn't her fault that she couldn't give birth to a son, right?
But, for thousands of years, hasn't it been the responsibility of women to bear children?
Why did the girl from the Lu family say that it was not her fault and that she didn’t need to blame herself for it?
She suddenly stood up and appeared in front of Lu Xinran when she was eating melon and feeling a little depressed.
Lu Xinran looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, and inexplicably felt guilty as if he had been caught eating bystanders.
Lu Xinlan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted with a smile: "Mrs. Qi, how are you?"
"Well, I didn't expect to see you here."
Qian glanced at Lu Xinran who was looking at her with an awkward smile and invited her: "Ruoyan and Ruohan like to meet their elder sisters the most. If they knew that I met you here today and they didn't meet you, they would definitely feel regretful."
Lu Xinlan understood what she meant when she heard the voice, "I haven't seen Ruoyan and the others for a long time."
Qian forced a smile, nodded slightly, and left with her servants.
"Sister, what did Madam Qi do just now?"
It's not what she thought, right?
Lu Xinlan smiled and nodded: "Invite us to her house as guests."
[Really? Great, then I can eat the whole melon. ]
[I can only give birth to daughters, not sons. Is there some kind of metaphysical power behind this? ]
The Lu Xinling sisters didn't understand what metaphysics was, but they always felt it must be very interesting.
After coming out to accept Qian's invitation, the sisters were all very satisfied.
The group of people following behind them were a little anxious. They also wanted to know why Qi Shouzheng could only give birth to daughters!
It would be great if we could get Qi Shouzheng to the White Horse Temple.
The princes following behind them looked at each other, and someone had already thought of calling Qi Shouzheng to the White Horse Temple, but Song Junhe glared at him and rejected him.
The Ministry of War is his territory!
No matter why Qi Shouzheng couldn't give birth to a son, he couldn't let him become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Lu Xinran was happily asking the system, if the extinction of the Qi family was really related to metaphysics, how should the life value of this melon be calculated.
The settlements for previous murder cases were always very generous, so this one shouldn’t be too bad.
The system almost crashed because of her question, as this question touched upon its blind spot in knowledge!
