Having a daughter is just so heartbreaking, isn't it?
Jian Shichu chuckled softly and pinched her cheek. "Not every daughter is like Qiu Yuxi. Besides, don't I have two younger brothers? When they get married, we'll encourage them to have lots of sons. Then, if we have a daughter, she can cultivate feelings with one of their sons. Whichever son our daughter fancies, she can marry him. That way, she'll never have to be separated from us. Isn't that great?"
Ye Qingci thought for a moment and nodded. "That's actually a pretty good idea. Seventh Master Jian, you're so deviously cunning."
"Of course," Jian Shichu said smugly. "I think when I picked up Ah Yan and Ah Shun back in the day, I must've foreseen this. It was all to ensure they could raise a few promising sons to become backup sons-in-law for us."
Ye Qingci: "…Seventh Master, how old were you when you picked up Ah Yan? Also, wasn't Ah Shun picked up by someone else?"
