Lian Manman had already heard about the Chengdong Landlord Liu's household from Yan Daopo more than once. According to Yan Daopo, Landlord Liu had one wife and four concubines. The original wife was nearing forty and had never given birth. In pursuit of offspring, Landlord Liu successively took four concubines.
As a result, all four concubines did become pregnant and gave birth, but all delivered baby girls.
This year was the first time Landlord Liu's wife became pregnant, and according to Yan Daopo, Landlord Liu's wife originally had no fate for sons; it was due to her sincere heart in seeking good deeds and with the help of Yan Daopo's ritual and special childbearing medicine that she became pregnant. Moreover, ever since the day Landlord Liu's wife was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Daopo confidently asserted that this pregnancy was sure to be a male.
And now, has Yan Daopo's words truly been fulfilled?
