Chapter 495 Shen Funian X Xiao Suye (4)

At the end of September of the following year, Shen Funian gave birth to a daughter, named Xiao Zhisui.

When Xiao Suye saw his daughter, he almost forgot how to hold her, and it took him a lot of fumbling to finally hold her securely.

Shen Chengyao also said anxiously, "Dad, I want to hold my little sister too!"

"Alright, alright, here you can hold her," Xiao Suye handed his daughter to his son, "I'm going to take care of your mother."

A daughter is a rare privilege, but we still need to take good care of Shen Funian.

As a doctor, he naturally knew how to make her more comfortable during her postpartum period.

Shen Funian didn't need to worry about anything else; just eating well and sleeping well every day was enough.

Every year, she is well-behaved, eating and sleeping all day long, making her very easy to care for.

Shen Funian sighed, "I finally gave birth to a good baby. Daughters are always the most considerate."

Shen Chengyao said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, was I disobedient when I was a child?"

“You were a mischievous little monkey when you were a kid,” Shen Fu rolled his eyes at him, “never having a moment of peace.”

Shen Chengyao snorted: "No, I'm just as well-behaved as my sister."

Shen Funian pouted and said, "Anyway, you don't remember anything from back then, so you can just fool yourself with this."

After the postpartum period, Sui Sui's name will be recorded in the family genealogy.

Shen Funian then suggested, "Why don't we take this opportunity to change Yao'er's surname and let him take yours?"

Xiao Suye said, "Yao'er has already changed his surname once. I was afraid he would overthink it, so it's fine for him to take your surname. When he grows up, if he wants to change it again, it's the same."

Shen Funian agreed upon hearing this, as it made sense.

Having a daughter, Xiao Suye naturally wanted to inform his family, who were far away at the border, and sent them a letter.

His brothers were very excited; they were all married, but all of them had sons, while only his younger brother had a daughter. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

They congratulated him and sent him gifts, but Xiao's father remained silent for a long time.

Since getting married, Shen Funian has been living a very happy life. Her only worry is this matter. She sighed and said, "It seems that Uncle Xiao really doesn't like me."

Xiao Suye quickly comforted her and secretly sent many letters to his brothers, asking them to speak well of him.

However, all these letters disappeared without a trace.

Shen Funian was heartbroken for a few days, but then she put it out of her mind. She had a loving husband and two children, so why was she thinking about a lousy old man all day?

After living a shameless life for another year or two, the Xiao family returned to the capital.

Shen Funian was stunned, and Xiao Suye was also stunned. Why did they suddenly come back?

However, as their son and daughter-in-law, they naturally had to go and greet them.

General Xiao Yong left the palace and met Shen Funian, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years—the daughter of his former best friend, and now his fourth daughter-in-law.

Shen Funian was still a little nervous, and her bowing posture was even more standard than when she met the emperor.

Xiao Yong said calmly, "No need for formalities. I've returned this time to report on my duties."

His eyes, however, were already fixed on his little granddaughter, who was surrounded by her three naive and unsophisticated sons.

Shen Funian was very perceptive and immediately snatched Sui Sui back from Xiao Suye's arms and brought her to him.

"This is your granddaughter, Sui Sui. Sui Sui can already call him grandfather."

Every year, she would call out in her babyish voice, "Grandpa, hello!"

Xiao Yong cleared his throat, wanting to continue pretending, but his hand had already unconsciously reached out.

"Come here, let Grandpa give you a hug."

"Dad, I want to hold my little niece too!"

"My little niece just smiled at me; she must want me to hold her!"

"Don't fight over it, I'm the eldest, I'll hug you first!"

"I'm still your father, you're not allowed to take it!"

For a moment, the palace gate was extremely lively, with several burly men in armor vying for a child, their faces full of loving smiles.

Sui Sui wasn't shy at all; on the contrary, she thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention, sometimes offering her little hand to her eldest uncle, and other times kissing her second uncle on the cheek.

Shen Funian was dumbfounded; her daughter had truly surpassed her mother!

The Xiao family stayed in the capital for three or four days before heading back.

They were reluctant to leave, and even wanted to take Sui Sui to the border.

Fortunately, considering the harsh conditions at the border, and unable to bear seeing his delicate granddaughter and niece suffer, he gave up the idea.

Xiao Yong said, "When she grows up in a few years, remember to take her and Yao'er to the border."

Shen Funian, whose mother had risen in status because of her daughter, abandoned her previous cautiousness and put on airs, saying lazily, "It depends on my mood."

Xiao Yong said nothing and took his sons back to the border.

Every two or three months, they would receive supplies sent from the border.

Even Xiao Suye couldn't help but sigh, "It's so much better to have a daughter. I didn't get this kind of treatment when I was living alone in the capital."

Shen Funian snorted: "Who told you not to tell me the truth back then, and insisted that you were some kind of physician named Su Ye? Otherwise, you would have had a daughter long ago. It's too late to regret it now."

“If I tell you, you’ll definitely back down and only see me as a tagalong,” Xiao Suye put his arm around her shoulder. “The best strategy is to win your heart first, then reveal my identity.”

Shen Funian said with dissatisfaction, "You schemed against me!"

“What scheme? That sounds so awful,” Xiao Suye said with a deep smile. “It was clearly a long-planned scheme.”

"Don't give me that nonsense. Let me tell you, you're just scheming... No kissing!"

"I insist on kissing you, and I want to kiss you for a lifetime."

"You're so annoying! Xiao Suyue! Believe me or not, I'll beat your butt until it's bruised and battered, just like I did when you were a kid!"

Snapped--

With a crisp sound, Xiao Suyue asked with a smile, "Like this?"

"You, you dare hit me! I'm going to tell your dad, I'll have him come back and beat you up!"

“He’s far away at the border,” he said, effortlessly undressing her. “Now you’re helpless, with no one to turn to.”

“Then I’ll tell my older brother, and he’ll definitely… take your paws away… and back me up.”

Xiao Suye didn't say anything more, listening to her talk with a smile while working hard.

Listening to her ramblings, one can pass many years.
