Before she met Jian Shichu, Ye Qingci had always been a jinx. After meeting Jian Shichu, the heavens seriously told her there was no such thing as most jinxed, only more jinxed!

She had hardly agreed to Jian Shichu's request to bear him a child, a spitting image of him, and begged to be spared further trouble.

The gentleman just raised an eyebrow, "You're thinking too much! One child is not enough. You need to give birth to at least a whole soccer team!"

Ye Qingci: ...Jian Shichu, why don't you go marry a sow!

Wu Fangtong replied that the child had been ill, lost her appetite, and had eaten less recently. Both Jiang Jungui and the old master believed her, and no one pursued the matter further.
