Chapter 875: Chapter 189: From Daughter to Son_3

Pei Qin glanced at the letter and turned to prepare for Pei Yuan’s full-moon celebration. As it was her family’s event, there were many things to prepare according to custom. When Jiujiu was born, Grandma Fang had arranged it all, but Pei Qin, finding it troublesome, had not bothered to do everything since they all lived together anyway. But Pei Yuan’s case was different, as they didn’t live together. The items she brought were for the Zhao family and the residents of Qinghe Town to see, to give Pei Yuan and Happy some prestige. Grandma Fang and Lady Yu came over in advance. Looking at the swaddling clothes, baby carriages, walkers, and rocking cribs prepared by Pei Qin, they found everything complete and were reassured, "Happy will definitely love these little carriages!" They also asked for one to be made for Jiujiu and Xixi. "Sun Tiezhu is making them right now!" responded Pei Qin. On the day of the full-moon celebration, just as dawn broke, Pei Qin finished her meal. Xiao Yi was unwilling to go without him, but it was not a problem since Xiao Guangbi had left four men behind when he left. Cao Li said they were highly skilled and could protect Xiao Yi without issue. Then Grandma Fang and Lady Yu, taking along Fang Liuyang and Fang Xin, arrived, followed by Fang Hui bringing Li Hualing and Feng Xiaolang, with Feng Shouxing driving the cart. Lady Zou with Sun Xingwang, the Zhao family sisters-in-law, and Sun Chaoniang and others also brought gifts. They brought people and pulled several carts loaded with gifts. The people of Qinghe Town knew that Pei Qin was generous and loved her sister dearly. They watched the full-moon celebration, wondering what fine gifts Pei Qin would bring. As soon as their carts arrived in Qinghe Town, the steward came forward to greet them and lead them to the house. As various items were unloaded, the onlookers sighed with admiration at Pei Qin’s affection for her nephew and her special effort to make the small carriages and rocking cribs, praising the quality of the wood and the workmanship. When they saw the Jade Necklace, they all sighed at how generous Pei Qin was. Such a necklace was worth quite a few pieces of Silver! Fang Hui, who was closer and had sharper eyes, also spotted boxes of bird’s nest and tonics. These were the real treasures! Even from a distance, she had heard that Pei Yuan had lost a great deal of blood during childbirth, and Pei Qin had sent a heap of tonics, so Pei Yuan had bird’s nest to eat every day. Watching Madam Zhao beaming with joy, unable to close her mouth with a smile, carrying the gifts straight into Pei Yuan’s inner room to store them separately, Fang Hui felt unbearably envious. After giving Happy the meeting gifts, the others left, leaving only the female relatives and close friends from the maternal family in the room to talk. Fang Hui couldn’t help saying, "Yuanyuan! You got pregnant around the same time as your older sister. She gave birth to Jiujiu and then a daughter, but you had a son on your first birth. You two must have sat on the same bench or stool before, right!?" Pei Yuan was taken aback, "What are you talking about!?" Fang Hui, not waiting for Grandma Fang and Lady Yu to speak up and stop her, quickly blurted out, "The old folks say pregnant women shouldn’t sit together, or sons would turn into daughters and daughters into sons! Your sister has already given birth to a daughter; she should have given birth to a son by now." "All that is just baseless gossip. You believe that nonsense?" Grandma Fang, angry, her face darkening, warned her with a glare but could not shame her as there were so many people present. Unperturbed, Fang Hui cheerfully cited examples of other families where such things had supposedly happened, insisting they were true and passed down by the older generation. Madam Zhao heard this and turned pale, her face struggling to maintain the smile. How could Fang Hui, the younger aunt, be so malicious and wicked! Wasn’t she deliberately stirring up discord between the sisters!? She hurriedly checked Pei Qin’s expression. Even though she was still smiling, there was a coolness in her smile. Madam Zhao couldn’t help cursing Fang Hui internally for causing trouble. Pei Qin had given birth to two daughters in succession, and Mo Heng had gone far away to his post. Was Fang Hui not intentionally provoking conflict!?
