Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: Envious of Having a Daughter

Having returned from Prince Rui Residence, upon hearing that his daughter had been acknowledged as Prince Rui’s daughter-in-law, Gu Ya’s handsome face remained dark and displeased.

Had he, Gu Ya, agreed yet?

How had she been promised to a baby not even half a year old?

The more he thought about it, the more displeased Gu Ya felt.

Su Yunjin saw Gu Ya’s stiff face all the way and chuckled, saying, "Alright, my husband, don’t be angry anymore. We don’t even know whether the child in my womb is a boy or a girl! What if it turns out to be a son? Then we wouldn’t have to make her Prince Rui’s daughter-in-law?"

Gu Ya grunted but said nothing.

Su Yunjin then reached out to grasp Gu Ya’s large hand.

Gu Ya’s hand was broad, warm, and with a layer of thin calluses on the palm and fingertips. Holding Gu Ya’s hand made Su Yunjin feel secure, and she particularly liked the layer of calluses in the center of his palm.

Mischievously, she pinched with her fingers, but her little hand was caught by Gu Ya in return. Looking up, she met his deep, yet tender eyes. Something struck her heart sweetly, overflowing like honey. Smiling with curved eyes, she did not pull her hand away; instead, she reached out with her arms to embrace Gu Ya.

Nuzzling her small head in Gu Ya’s embrace, looking down at the little wife in his arms, Gu Ya’s heart softened tremendously, all his anger vanishing in an instant.

All that remained was his tenderness for her.

"My husband, Prince Rui’s wife acknowledged our daughter as her daughter-in-law today to help me, to prevent our daughter from being looked down upon, thus she granted her the position of daughter-in-law to our daughter." In ancient times, women’s status was lower than men’s, and daughters were generally considered less precious than sons.

Prince Rui’s wife truly regarded her as a sister and hence publicly decided in front of everyone to designate her unborn child as the official wife and primary consort of Prince Rui Residence’s Young Prince. Such a decision by Prince Rui’s wife appeared to all present as a great honor and respect, after all, not everyone could dream of attaining the position of the Prince Rui Residence’s Princely Heir’s official wife and primary consort.

This was a position many would vie for, yet Prince Rui’s wife easily granted it to a child not yet born, whose gender was even unknown.

This news spread from Prince Rui Residence, making everyone in town and in Gu Family’s village envy Su Yunjin’s good fortune. Everyone thought Su Yunjin had hit great luck by attaching herself to a high branch like the Prince Qi Residence, ensuring her descendants would undoubtedly be blessed. If it turned out that the child in Su Yunjin’s womb was a daughter, it would be an even greater honor.

Owing to this matter, people who previously thought having sons was better now started to see the benefits of having daughters, feeling that if Su Yunjin’s child turned out to be a daughter, then she would indeed be extremely fortunate.

Soon this news reached Mrs. Zhang’s ears. Since being caught poisoning Su Yunjin’s fishpond, Mrs. Zhang had kept quiet and dared not provoke Su Yunjin any further.

That day, after finishing farm work in the fields, Mrs. Zhang came home only to hear about Su Yunjin’s child being personally chosen by Prince Rui’s wife as a daughter-in-law. "What? How is that possible? No, no, it can’t be, it just can’t be." Mrs. Zhang couldn’t believe that such good fortune could fall upon the couple Su Yunjin and her husband.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhang was initially startled, then vehemently shook her head like a rattle drum. She didn’t believe it, she couldn’t believe that little wretch Su Yunjin had such good fortune.
