Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Wen Zheng sighed inwardly. They were not General Gu, and they had never had a deep friendship with His Majesty. Naturally, they were the clear-headed observers.

His Majesty's intention to reclaim power remains unchanged, but he has no capable general to replace Gu Liang.

Gu Liang held great power, had made outstanding contributions, and commanded widespread support.

The conflict between the two sides could erupt at any moment.

"...Send some more gifts to Li Erniu." Wen Zheng knew that Zhao Yifeng couldn't persuade General Gu, just as he couldn't persuade the emperor that day.

All he could do was protect himself.

If something unexpected happens to the Gu family in the future, I can lend a helping hand.

"Our baby Aqi was just born, you can't have any accidents." The words were very sincere.

The wrinkles between Zhao Yifeng's eyebrows resembled many small, undulating hills. He exhaled a heavy breath: "Okay, I understand. Let me remind you again."

He took the letter to the candlelight, and the fire burned the paper. He then threw the burning letter into a brazier not far away.

He only looked away after the letter had burned to ashes.

Wen Zheng nodded. Of course, she hoped that General Gu's family could be safe and sound, but reality did not allow it. The emperor would not back down, and General Gu was unwilling to abandon his soldiers and the people on the frontier.

"ah."

In the suffocating atmosphere, a child's scream could be heard.

Zhao Qi had just woken up and was moving her hands and feet, but she couldn't kick off the swaddling clothes. She struggled for a bit and then gave up.

Holding up her chubby little arms, she told them: I'm awake.

Wen Zheng immediately turned around and patted the swaddled baby, then reached out and took Zhao Qi's hand, which was covered in swaddling clothes. His previous distress instantly dissipated.

All they could see was the doll in front of them.

"Aqi," she called the child's name.

As if he knew someone was calling him, Zhao Qi responded with another "ah." Zhao Yifeng also came to his senses, leaned over the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at Zhao Qi's face after she woke up.

Children have an innate cuteness that allows adults to temporarily forget their troubles.

The three of them talked amongst themselves, taking turns saying their own things, but it didn't sound noisy or chaotic.

Mrs. Chen stepped in, then stepped back, not wanting to disturb their time together.

Day after day.

Wen Zheng has also finished her postpartum confinement. Zhao Qi's baby is much bigger than when she was born, her skin is whiter, and her eyes have opened.

His bright, clear eyes, black and white, resembled a clear hot spring.

Whenever I look at someone, I feel a warm glow in their heart.

Mrs. Chen held her and teased her, occasionally understanding her daughter's concern.

"But, the 100-day celebration is canceled?" She frowned, her mood as light as a banana leaf battered by rain.

She was also thinking of making the celebration for the child more festive.

Wen Zheng, head down, was calculating her accounts. He opened his mouth and replied, "Hmm." He then explained, "The governor of Yazhou has just been dismissed from his post, so it's not appropriate for us to hold a celebration now."

Otherwise, what if they get noticed?

Madam Chen subconsciously looked into the inner room, where Zhao Qi was still sleeping: "That's true, but Qi will have to suffer."

She felt wronged, let alone her parents.

Wen Zheng put down his pen, looking worried, and said, "Well, I've discussed it with Aqi's father, and although we can't give her a proper full moon celebration..."

"But as parents, we can't leave her out of gifts."

The baby received many gifts at the full moon celebration, all of which were her private property.

But Aqi is still so young, and she already has fewer opportunities to appear in public than her older brothers and sisters, so she can't afford to lose any more money.

"We plan to give Aqi three times the value of the property received at Ahuan's full moon celebration," Wen Zheng told her mother.

The reason why they didn't hold the full moon celebration for the eldest son, Ayan, was because Zhao Yifeng wasn't the governor at that time, and he didn't receive many gifts.

Mrs. Chen's sadness vanished instantly.

Real money can always move people's hearts.

"Well, that's fine too." She paused, then asked tentatively, "Did Ayan and the others say anything?"

The family property in the mansion does not belong to one person, but to everyone.

When parents give a large sum of money to their younger sibling, the older sibling will inevitably have objections.

Wen Zheng turned around, initially puzzled: "What are they saying?" Then, seeing his mother's expression, he understood her meaning: "Mother, don't worry."

"They're not that stingy. Besides, I didn't give it to them for no reason."

She had a legitimate reason.

Mrs. Chen pinched her left thumb with her right hand and continued to ask, "What did you give me?"

"They gave us six hectares of land in Yun County, two estates there, two hilltops, two estates outside Youzhou City, and two shops inside the city..."

Mrs. Chen: "..."

"Is it too much...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Zheng continued, "There's also the share of the profits from the two merchants, two three-courtyard houses, eight chests of trunks, and eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver as a last resort."

They used only even numbers, which were considered auspicious, as a blessing from the parents to their child.

Wen Zheng was pleased to find that she had been very thoughtful.

Madam Chen rubbed her forehead and advised, "If you really want to give this away, don't say it in front of A-Yan and the others."

"Just say two or three of them."

She was certain that these were the most valuable assets in the governor's mansion.

It is to be shared property, and it will only be divided when the head of the household is about to die.

Now, haha, it's a baby who's just a month old.

Wen Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Mother, when you divided my family property, it was all in front of my brother."

Her dowry and her brother's bride price were divided together.

"I'm telling you right now, the items you two received were of equal value," Madam Chen said with a half-smile. "What? Can you even produce three times the amount of what you gave A-Qi?"

This doesn't even include the son-in-law's other three daughters and four sons.

Only her daughter's child is counted.

Wen Zheng remained silent, of course he couldn't produce it.

"Because of profit, so many brothers and sisters have become enemies. You've seen it all in our family. Don't take it lightly," Madam Chen said earnestly.

You can't expect every child in your family to be a saint.

Watching you give another child a mountain of gold, and expecting them to smile, clap, and say "good" in front of them.

Such people do exist, but they are far too few.

Wen Zheng was stunned. She couldn't help but wonder if she would be happy for her brother if her parents gave the Wen family's assets to him in front of her.

The sadness in my heart wells up as soon as I think about it.

"Mother, I understand. I won't tell you everything."

However, Aqi should be given what is rightfully hers.

After Wen Zheng understood, he looked at his mother with admiration and said, "Mom, you are really amazing."

Her mother was fair to her and her brother.

But she couldn't be fair.

Madam Chen first stared blankly at her daughter, then understood the meaning in her eyes and said meaningfully, "I only have you and my brother as my children."

Moreover, the Wen family only has two children.
