Chapter 300 Isn’t a daughter good?
"Do you think that child looks like someone?" Madam Li asked the maid beside her.

The maid carefully recalled the cute little girl she had just seen, and after thinking for a while, she said, "In terms of her eyebrows and eyes, she seems to be somewhat similar to the Duke's wife."

After Mrs. Li received words of affirmation from the person next to her, her face suddenly turned gloomy.

The maidservant also didn't understand why the lady, who was originally so happy, suddenly changed her expression.

Mrs. Li watched the figures of several people disappear at the end of the road before she turned around and left.

Niu Niu kept feeling the cold gaze behind her, and was so scared that she kept hiding behind Shen Ling.

"My dear, do you feel cold?" Shen Ling asked, taking the cloak handed to him by the maid and tying it on Niu Niu.

This is Shen Ling's cloak. When Niu Niu put it on, it dragged out a lot and looked a bit funny.

After she disappeared from sight, Niuniu shook her head and said, "It was suddenly cold, and then it wasn't cold anymore."

As she spoke, the little girl took off her cloak.

Shen Ling observed Niu Niu's complexion again and again, and only after making sure that she was really okay did he let the maid put away her cloak.

"It's really strange, we didn't feel anything getting colder or hotter." Shen Ling looked puzzled.

As they were talking, the group had already seen from afar several people gathered in front of them, and they seemed to be admiring the Erqiao peony.

Niu Niu also saw Zhang Yuniang, and immediately trotted over and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Zhang Yuniang turned and looked at Shen Ling.

"Have you been well behaved? Have you caused any trouble to your sister Ling?" Zhang Yuniang asked softly.

Before Niu Niu could answer, Shen Ling said, "Master's wife, Niu Niu should not be so obedient. How could she cause me trouble?"

Zhang Yunniang felt relieved after hearing that, and reached out to help Shen Ling tidy up the loose hair at her temples, her movements natural and intimate.

"Mom, I met Sister Li today. Sister Li is so beautiful and speaks very gently..." Niu Niu snuggled in Zhang Yuniang's arms and acted coquettishly.

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Niuniu looks more and more like Master's wife."

Zhang Yunniang said casually, "Really? Sometimes I think this child looks more like her father."

Niuniu said: "I am my father and mother's child, so I look like both my father and my mother!"

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this. If no one mentioned it, she wouldn't even remember that Niu Niu was an adopted child.

"Mrs. Gu has a son and a daughter. Her son entered Baiyun Academy, and her daughter is well-behaved and sensible. She is really blessed." Mrs. Zheng on the side suddenly spoke up.

Mrs. Zheng looked at Niu Niu with eyes full of desire at this moment.

Zhang Yunniang and Madam Zheng had known each other before. Madam Zheng's sister-in-law had persistent bleeding after giving birth and was a client of Zhang Yunniang. Therefore, Zhang Yunniang also knew Madam Zheng's worry, which was similar to that of Madam Li in the past.

They have been married for many years but have no children.

She felt even worse than Li because her husband took several concubines because of this matter. The concubines gave birth to children, which made her feel lonely.

Zhang Yunniang said softly, "Madam has a kind heart. Maybe it won't be long before your wish comes true."

Mrs. Zheng showed a bitter look on her face and said, "I am not blessed. I just hope to have a son or daughter so that I can have hope in my heart."

Zhang Yuniang suddenly didn't know how to comfort her.

Niuniu suddenly grabbed Madam Zheng's hand and said, "Aunt, you should smile more. Only when you are happy will the little baby come to you."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she was so anxious that she grabbed Niu Niu's hand on the spot and asked, "Will there really be a little kid coming to see me?" After she said this, she immediately realized her gaffe and wanted to retract her hand.

But Niuniu held her hand and said, "Aunt is a good person, there will definitely be one."

Even though it was just a casual remark from a child, Mrs. Zheng, who was eager to have a child, felt it was extremely precious, and her face was visibly filled with joy.

Niuniu continued, "The little kid also hopes that mommy will always be happy."

Mrs. Zheng nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are right, who would like a dejected person!"

Although Mrs. Zheng made promises, she still couldn't help feeling depressed when she saw other people having children around them.

Zhang Yunniang reached out and gently touched her daughter's nose, whispering, "Child, what if she doesn't give birth to a child and blames you?"

Niuniu said crisply: "The little babies are choosing their parents in heaven. They also want to be born into a good family. If mother is happy, they will naturally rush to be born to be her babies!"

Zhang Yunniang thought about Niu Niu's specialness, and for a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was true or false.

However, another plump official's wife heard a few words of the conversation between the two and suddenly asked, "I remember that this child seems to be Madam Sun's goddaughter?"

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

The plump official's wife clapped her hands immediately and said, "That's right, it's the little Fuwa!"

She pulled Madam Zheng aside and said, "Just listen to Fuwa, it won't go wrong!"

Mrs. Zheng was confused.

The fat lady immediately explained, "My sister's husband is from the same hometown as Lord Sun. My sister and brother-in-law are now in mourning in their hometown. They wrote to me earlier and said that Lord Sun's goddaughter is Little Fuwa, and whoever she points to will get pregnant!"

Mrs. Zheng suddenly perked up again: "Really? Is that really the case?"

The fat lady smiled and said, "Madam Sun hasn't been pregnant for so many years. When Lord Sun was taking the exam, she almost went to Beijing with him. On the way, she met Little Fuwa, who immediately concluded that she was pregnant! Guess what? She was really pregnant! Later, she gave birth to a big fat boy!"

The way Mrs. Zheng looked at Niu Niu was as if she were looking at a golden ingot.

"The Sun family held a banquet later, and a bunch of rich ladies surrounded the child, begging her for blessings. Guess what? Oh, many ladies became pregnant when they went back! Don't you think it's strange?" said the fat lady with a smile.

Mrs. Zheng immediately held Niuniu's hand again: "Good child, can you...can you...give some of your blessings to your aunt?"

As she spoke, she took off the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Niu Niu's hand with a firm attitude.

Niuniu said helplessly: "Aunt, as long as you are happy, you really don't need to give me a gift."

But Mrs. Zheng insisted that Niu Niu accept it.

The two of them were pulling each other, making quite a lot of noise, and the other ladies couldn't help but look over here.

Some people also asked about it.

The Fat Lady was a helpful person and explained the whole story in a few words.

Someone in the crowd had an idea.

There are many ladies who are in difficult situations like Mrs. Zheng.

A certain official's wife who had given birth to five daughters in a row came over with a gold nugget and asked Niuniu with a smile: "Good child, since you are so blessed, can you tell me when I can give birth to a son?"

Niuniu frowned slightly after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "Aunt, do you have to give birth to a son? Isn't a daughter good?"
