Chapter 1303: Daughter Qingning

Shang Hongchen stood at the side rolling her eyes; this husband of hers truly adores Hongxue, having a daughter there and foolishly delighted, but when she herself had given birth to a daughter before, he wore the same expression, so Shang Hongchen relaxed.

Everyone she knew preferred sons, even her brother Shang Yue liked sons; only a few were exceptional—those were Chen Chuyang and her father Shang Yingnian, her father Shang Yingnian truly liked daughters; from childhood onward, her and Hongxue's status was genuinely high, far surpassing Shang Yue by an unknown multiple.

Daughters are treasures in the palm, while sons are good-for-nothings; this is the truest portrayal of Shang Yingnian, of course not that he treats sons badly, it's just not as obvious.

Everyone else, including Chen Yuan and the other members of the Shang Clan, without exception, all preferred sons, men and women alike liked sons, even Shang Hongchen herself leaned more toward sons.

"This girl is just like Hongxue, exactly the same, truly adorable." Shang Hongchen stepped forward, and upon seeing her sister's daughter, memories flooded in; she recalled her sister's childhood appearance, identical.

Chen Chuyang gritted his teeth: "Are you sure she doesn't look like me? As handsome as I am, my precious daughter naturally inherited my looks."

Shang Hongchen glanced at Chen Chuyang's face, then looked at the little girl in his arms, and gave a hehe laugh: "Hehe."

It has nothing to do with Chen Chuyang, or rather, this daughter is entirely another version of the sister, while her husband is still here feeling smug—this isn't blatantly… sticking gold on his own face?

"Husband, could you show some dignity?" Shang Hongchen couldn't help but complain.

Grandmother Long Zetian nodded: "Indeed, this girl doesn't resemble you; she's more like that Hongxue girl—so pretty, so cute."

With another descendant of the bloodline, Long Zetian naturally felt happy; regardless of gender, she likes them as long as they bear Azure Dragon Clan blood, and moreover, this girl's Azure Dragon Clan bloodline is not low.

Compared to Chen Qinglian, she is much higher; even the eldest brother's children cannot match this girl.

Long Zetian naturally likes this girl, very much so.

"Alright, you've all held her; this girl should return to Hongxue's side." Long Zetian hurriedly took her back, letting the little girl stay by her mother, and Chen Chuyang followed inside.

Others also followed them inside; Shang Hongchen wanted to check on her sister's condition.

Entering the room, Shang Hongxue hadn't slept yet, her complexion pale, her origin damaged; giving birth to this daughter had consumed much of her origin.

Having entered a state of extreme weakness, Chen Chuyang quickly stepped forward, grasped Shang Hongxue's hand, and continuously infused her with true qi and vitality to replenish her lost origin.

"Girl, you've worked hard."

Shang Hongxue's face regained a hint of color; she barely sat up and said, "Not hard, I also bore a daughter for my husband, hehe."

"Hurry up and lie down, don't sit, silly girl."

Chen Chuyang quickly had Hongxue lie down; she couldn't stay seated, it's bad for her body.

He continually repaired Hongxue's wounds; Hongxue recovered considerably, she smiled and said, "It's fine, Elder Brother Chuyang, my body is mostly healed, just a bit of weakness right now."

"Obey." Chen Chuyang couldn't let her sit up; he hurriedly soothed her, placing the daughter beside her, and upon seeing her daughter's face, Hongxue smiled.

"My daughter is truly beautiful." Shang Hongxue couldn't help but utter.

"That's natural; daughters resemble their fathers, I'm not bad-looking, so she naturally couldn't be lacking." Chen Chuyang said proudly.

Shang Hongchen: "……"

Grandmother Long Zetian: "……"

Aunt Yu'er: "……"

The three fell silent together, staring at each other, utterly speechless.

Chen Chuyang didn't care how they viewed him; he stroked the girl's cheek and said, "My daughter sleeps so sweetly."

"Aunt Yu'er, Grandmother, you two will have to work hard for the coming month."

Aunt Yu'er quickly waved her hands: "No trouble, no trouble; when I gave birth earlier, Hongxue helped look after me, and now that Hongxue is giving birth, I naturally can't stand by."

Grandmother Long Zetian waved her hand: "Alright, we're family; talk of hardship or not, however many you bear, wherever you need grandmother, she'll surely be there."

Long Zetian naturally hopes he will have a few more, letting the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline proliferate quickly, so she won't need to worry about the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline dying out.

To let the Azure Dragon Clan flourish again is her dream and also her wish.

The population issue has always been Long Zetian's concern.

"Hahaha, then maybe grandmother will really have to work hard then; over here, Hongchen, I expect she'll soon give birth." Chen Chuyang glanced at Shang Hongchen beside him, her belly big, she could deliver at any moment.

It might come early or be delayed; who knows?

She could give birth at any time—not this month, then next month.

"Rest assured, my grandmother's health is excellent; I can handle several, and besides, Yu'er will help—no problem."

"If really necessary, there are still others on the mountain."

"Younger sister Chen Qinger is also outside, ready at any time."

"If really needed, Xiao Qian'er can also help; Chen Hu Chen Li have grown up and can assist; my younger brother Chen Hao is also present, and Hu Yueer can help; there are plenty of people up and down Longshe Shan."

"It's just two children; there's no need for everyone to help."

"Then let grandmother arrange it." Chen Chuyang thanked again.

Grandmother Long Zetian looked at Shang Hongchen, her smile deepening.

The sex of the child in her belly is apparent at a glance; it cannot be concealed.

"Chuyang, these days you need to start thinking of a name; this little girl also ought to be given a name, you should notify your parents as well, and remember to inform your parents-in-law, don't forget."

"Hongxue gave birth to a child—that's a major matter; we must notify everyone properly."

"Understood." Chen Chuyang is no longer the naive novice; he knows what to do.

He immediately went out to notify his parents and parents-in-law; after notifying them all, he knew they would surely rush up the mountain anxiously, perhaps just an hour or two.

After Shang Hongxue's side was settled, she also grew tired and quickly fell into a deep sleep; everyone then left the room.

Chen Chuyang waited outside until two hours later.

People came down the mountain; parents and parents-in-law ascended together, father-in-law Shang Yingnian beaming, walking up the mountain chatting and laughing with father Chen Yuan, both congratulating each other; behind the parents-in-law, Shang Yue was also present. Moreover, elder brother Chen Chusheng also went up the mountain; others didn't come, or rather, they weren't yet qualified to ascend the mountain.

Chen Chuyang went down the mountain to greet them; parents and parents-in-law first went to see Hongxue and the child; as for Chen Chuyang, he was temporarily left aside.

Chen Chuyang went down the mountain to meet them, several people; his parents and parents-in-law immediately went to see Hongxue and the child; as for Chen Chuyang, he was temporarily left aside.
