Donggong enchanting: Prime Minister, don't refuse favor

Chapter 433 The Importance of Children

At the other table, Qian Ailian watched other Juren or wives of new officials toast to her, and she became more and more proud in her heart.

"Mrs. Wang, you are so young and beautiful. You don't look like me. After so many years of marriage, you have become a yellow-faced woman." The slightly plump lady beside her flattered Qian Ailian.

Qian Ailian glanced at Mrs. Hongshang, and then smiled, "Well, I have only married my husband not long ago, but he loves me dearly. Even in the past, I never did any rough work."

"Really? Such a good husband is really enviable. I think Mr. Wang must love his wife very much."

On the other side, the lady in blue clothes covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled softly.

When Qian Ailian heard the words, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter, but she didn't speak.

However, afterward, Mrs. Hongshang chattered as if she was chatting about homework, "It didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to marry Mr. Wang, but ah, how can a woman never have a child? I heard that Mrs. Wang originally had a grandma no?"

Hearing this, Qian Ailian's face flickered stiffly, and then she nodded calmly, her eyes were sad, "The elderly grandma at home passed away before my husband was ranked second in the exam."

"Well, I'm really sorry, Mrs. Wang, for bringing up your sadness."

Only then did Mrs. Hongshang realize that what she said was a bit presumptuous, and then apologized repeatedly.

"No problem." Qian Ailian shook her head, then smiled at Madam Hongshang, "It's all in the past."

"Madam Wang doesn't have a mother-in-law, so how can she know our sufferings, hey." Madam Lanshang at the side didn't take it seriously, and then she caught a glimpse of her husband still talking and laughing there, and then she couldn't help whispering to the ladies present.

As for the wife whose mother-in-law was still present, how could she not understand what she meant.

"Mrs. Gao, don't be in a hurry. When the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, she will have a good life."

Mrs. Gao shook her head, then frowned and said, "My mother-in-law has always disliked me. Fortunately, my husband still has some affection for me. Otherwise, I would not be able to stay in Gao's residence any longer."

"Why is this?"

"Mrs. Jiao, you don't know. I have been married to Gao's family for three years, but I have never had a child. My mother-in-law is arguing every day to take a concubine for my husband, saying that I cut off the incense of the Gao family."

Hearing this, many of the wives present also felt this pain, and all sighed.

"By the way, Mrs. Wang has no children yet?"

Madam Gao on the side then asked Qian Ailian cautiously.

And Qian Ailian shook her head, and then remembered that there was already a woman who competed with her for status at home, her gaze turned slightly cold.

"Don't expect my concubine to give birth to a boy." Mrs. Gao then said kindly.

But Mrs. Jiao didn't take it seriously, "Boys? As long as they can be conceived and raised in the future, it doesn't matter if they are girls. Isn't that what the princes of our southern kingdom are like?"

"That's right, that's right, and Mrs. Mu is also a female officer."

The lady on the side nodded.

It is true that a boy is the best now, but if a girl is born, it does not mean that there is no hope at all.

"How can I have such a blessing."

Qian Ailian smiled without leaving any traces on her face, but her hands under the brocade sleeves had already been tightly clenched.

She couldn't let Tan Jiaomei give birth to Wang Zhi's child first.

Qian Ailian didn't know why Tan Jiaomei married Wang Zhi. Most of the reasons were because she framed her.
