"Remember, this jar must be placed in your wife's bedchamber. Your daughter will grow up with the strength and fortune comparable to a son," Chong Jiu repeatedly emphasized.

Despite this, Yuan Liang still felt uneasy and asked, "Chong Jiu, am I truly destined never to have a son?"
"No," Chong Jiu stated firmly, his gaze sharp. "Moreover, there's a change in your marital fate. It seems your wife may turn against you."
