The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Chapter 219, Mild Discomfort_1

“Madam, she has given birth!”

Looking at Wang Manman who rushed into the room with an excited face, Daohua wore a face full of black lines.

What do you mean ‘madam has given birth’?

Have you forgotten how to speak?

Wang Manman did not notice her slip of the tongue and excitedly announced to Daohua, “Madam, Lin Xushi has given birth to a daughter, you have another sister now.”

Daohua silently looked at Wang Manman, who was wearing a smile on her face.

Seeing her own madam staring straight at herself, Wang Manman’s smile stiffened slightly, “Madam, what’s wrong?”

Daohua, with a face void of expression, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking what’s wrong with you? Lin Xushi gives birth to a daughter and you are this happy?”

Wang Manman quickly shook her head, “I am not happy, no, I am happy because Lin Xushi gave birth to a daughter, not a son. Now, let’s see how she can be so smug.”

“Before she gave birth, she went around clamoring for sour foods, acting as if she wanted to tell everyone she was certain to be carrying a boy. Well, now, she has lost face, hasn’t she?”

Daohua glanced at Wang Manman, who was taking perverse pleasure in the misfortune, “… Whether it’s a boy or a girl, both are the children of the father.”

Wang Manman, “It’s not the same. If it had been a son, Lin Xushi would have been even more arrogant.”

This time, Daohua refrained from saying much.

In ancient times, everyone harbored the deep-seated notion of valuing males over females. Although she did not hold such a viewpoint, it was indeed better for Lin Xushi to have given birth to a daughter than a son.

Wang Manman added, “Oh right, madam, the master has punished Liao Family.”

“Oh?” Daohua raised an eyebrow, “Punished for what?”

Wang Manman, “The master said that Liao Family caused Lin Xushi to deliver prematurely, so he has confined her to her quarters for three months, and she must also copy scriptures to pray for blessings for the newly born fifth young madam.”

Daohua’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Did Liao Family really push Lin Xushi?”

Wang Manman pursed her lips, “Who knows? Anyhow, Lin Xushi’s maid is adamant that it was Liao Family who pushed her, and there were no witnesses by Liao Family’s side at that time.”

“However, Liao Family’s reaction was strange. She did not offer a defense for herself, merely saying that she nearly caused the Yan Family’s lineage harm, admitting her guilt and accepting her punishment.”

Daohua’s eyes flashed, “It seems she knows how to retreat in order to advance.”

Since Lin Xushi had just given birth, it was clear that their father intended to side with her. In this case, the more Liao Family defended herself, the more likely she would irritate their father. It would be better to admit guilt humbly since at least the attitude in acknowledging fault was good.

Moreover, her choice of words in saying ‘almost caused harm’ was quite intriguing. Was she insinuating that Lin Xushi struck at her first?

“Let’s leave them be, and quickly bring me the embroidery frame. I must finish embroidering the pouch for my fourth brother before his birthday, or else he will fuss again.”

December 18th is the birthday of Fourth Brother Yan Wenkai, which is only a few days away.

Wang Manman looked curiously at the embroidery, “Madam, what animal are you embroidering here? I’ve never seen this before, is it a bear?”

Daohua smiled as she picked up the embroidery frame and looked at it with satisfaction, “Isn’t it cute? This is an animal from Bashu, considered a kind of bear, I suppose.”

Pandas are bears, after all.

…

Shuangxin Courtyard.

Lin Xushi lay in bed, looking at her daughter in the swaddling clothes beside her with some disappointment.

Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she had always thought she was carrying a son.

The greater her hopes had been initially, the greater her disappointment was now.
