Madam Zhong was momentarily stunned upon hearing that Mrs. Gu was pregnant again.
"Madam, I'm already old, this child..."
The meaning of Mrs. Gu was clear. If the madam agreed, she would give birth; if not, she could also not have the child.
Over the years, she had long understood that without power, she couldn't protect her children.
Now, thanks to her daughter, she was just starting to live a better life. If she gave birth again, having a daughter didn't matter, but if it was a son, it would undoubtedly be a thorn in the madam's heart.
"The Fifth Girl is already so grown up, and now you're blooming again. This is a great joy." Madam Zhong quickly said, "Fifth Girl, your aunt is getting on in years. With everything you've learned, take good care of her during this pregnancy, and make sure she delivers this child safely. If it's a boy, your aunt will have someone to rely on in her old age."
"Yes, Mother."
