After she said that, they really sold her their land.
In any case, they just wanted food to eat and clothes to wear; they absolutely wouldn’t spend money on useless trash.
How could the strong lower themselves to mingle with trash?
Gu Bailu smiled. “In the end, it’s still old ginger that’s spicy.”
Bu Yaolian was a little depressed. “Lady Murong is stealing my business!”
“We can’t monopolize this thing. If everyone can be as farsighted as Lady Murong, I wouldn’t need to go to all this effort.”
“I already have a few thousand people in various industries. I’m just waiting for those people to wake up. I won’t sell my people to them… Hmph, when the time comes, they’ll have to rent them from us…”
Shao Zun said that.
“You sure know how to think.” Gu Bailu smiled.
“Shao Zun said that there’s no lack of experts with spiritual power. What Southern Glory Empire lacks now are smart people.”
“Haha.” Gu Bailu burst into laughter. “That’s right. Smart people… Shao Zun is indeed someone who keeps up with the times. Lian’er, you have good taste.”
Bu Yaolian was pleased. “It’s so-so.”
“Your due date is next month, right?” Gu Bailu asked.
“Yes, in October. It’ll be the autumn harvest then, and many families will probably want to sell their land. Shao Zun is already preparing to take all of them. We can’t let the Murong family take everything.”
“The Murong family is Shao Zun’s aunt’s family… Aren’t they all family? By the way, I remember that Shao Zun has an older sister.”
When Gu Bailu had been besieged back then, Shao Zun had helped her out because of his sister’s identity.
“I think so, but I’ve never seen her before. Shao Zun rarely mentions her either.”
Gu Bailu thought for a moment. “After the baby is born, you’ll probably have to tell Shao Zun everything.”
Bu Yaolian couldn’t hide this for the rest of her life.
Gu Bailu looked at Bu Yaolian. She couldn’t lose weight since she was pregnant, and was eating a lot again. Her body was starting to balloon up again.
“Forget it. Wait until you slim down after giving birth.”
Bu Yaolian was also worried. “Can I give birth to the baby safely?”
“It shouldn’t be a problem. At least you’re not as fat as you used to be. Walk around more during this time.”
They thought that the baby would be born in October, but Bu Yaolian went into labor less than ten days later.
Because she was fat, it took her a day and a night to give birth.
“Congratulations, Shao Zun. It’s a daughter.” The midwife brought the newborn to Su Shenfan, but he didn’t seem very happy.
Shao Zun didn’t even look at his daughter. He rushed to Bu Yaolian’s side. “Tired?”
Bu Yaolian squinted weakly. She was exhausted. It was even more tiring than going ten rounds in a night.
She didn’t even reply before she closed her eyes.
Shao Zun took her into his arms and wiped the sweat off her forehead. He ordered someone to bring her clothes, and helped change her himself.
The midwife thought that he probably wasn’t happy about this little girl, and was about to carry her out to show the empress, when Shao Zun said, “Bring my precious daughter here.”
The midwife carried her over. Shao Zun took a look at her and smiled. “Ah, you’re indeed my daughter. You look exactly like me. You’re a beauty as soon as you come out. A reward!”
The midwife was still in a daze as she held two big red packets in her hand.
She looked at Shao Zun’s pleased face again; it didn’t look like he didn’t cherish this daughter.
