Chapter 687: Definitely a daughter
Wu Mama has been a midwife for decades. She has contact with more private affairs in the backyard than Concubine Xiang could imagine. So naturally, she had a sense of proportion in her heart.
She said to Concubine Xiang: “Madam Xiang, I can’t remember what happened back then. I only know that the lady gave birth to a baby girl. She was very weak and died shortly. I can’t remember anything else.”
Concubine Xiang nodded in satisfaction. Then, the maidservant next to her immediately handed a brocade bag full of silver.
Wu Mama weighed the bag in her hand. A smile appeared into her face as she put the bag in her sleeves, then turned around and left.

In the front hall, Pei Qinghan had already drunk two cups of tea before he finally saw the midwife, who helped Dongfang Wan to give birth. Pei Qinghan looked at the old lady from head to toe. He couldn’t tell if the person standing in front of him was the same person that year. He didn’t pay much attention to her at that time, so he had no impression of her appearance.
Wu Mama paid respect at Qinghan: “This old lady greets Houye!”
As soon as her voice fell, Pei Qinghan immediately remembered this voice. At that time, he was waiting anxiously at the door. And when he heard the baby crying, a voice sounded in the room. She said: “Congratulations to Houye, Congratulations. You have a daughter. The mother and daughter are safe.”
He was very happy at the time. He wanted to rush inside the room to see the mother and daughter, but she was stopped by the woman who helped in delivery. She blocked the door and only showed him his child and said that he couldn’t enter yet.
The child’s body was red and the hair on her head was very sparse, but her eyes were bright, just like Dongfang Wan’s eyes.
Pei Qinghan was thinking about the past when Wu Mama called him: “Houye?”
When he returned to his senses, he coughed to clear his throat and asked: “Are you the midwife who helped my wife to give birth?”
Wu Mama answered: “Yes.”
Pei Qinghan stared at Wu Mama’s face and asked, “Is that child a boy or a girl?”
Wu Mama didn’t expect that he would ask this, so she immediately replied: “It’s a girl, her eyes look like the madam, but her nose and mouth look like yours. That was my first time to see such a beautiful baby girl, it’s just a pity—-”
Hearing this, Pei Qinghan felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood up from his chair, rushed to Wu Mama’s body in a few steps, and asked urgently: “What did you just say? You said that child looks like me?”
Wu Mama was dumbfounded. His daughter looked like him. What’s wrong with that?
Wu Mama nodded her head: “Yes, her nose and mouth look exactly like yours. When you smile, you have small dimples, except for those eyes, she looks like you.”
“Are you sure you didn’t it wrong? Does the child really look like me?” Pei Qinghan’s emotions became more and more excited.
Looking at Pei Qinghan’s appearance, Wu Mama felt regretful inside her heart. Did she say something that shouldn’t be said? After saying this, will it affect her?
Wu Mama rolled her eyes and said with a dry smile: “Houye, it’s been so long since it happened. I, I actually don’t remember clearly.”
The fire in Pei Qinghan’s heart suddenly went out. Yes, it has been more than 10 years. How can she remember the appearance of a baby? What she said were just carefully picked up words to please people. It’s so ridiculous that he fell for it.
How could that child look like him? It’s absolutely impossible.
Pei Qinghan stepped back and sat back in the chair. He looked so depressed. After a long silence, he asked: “Are you sure it’s a girl?”
Wu Mama nodded: “I can guarantee this, it is definitely a daughter. There is no mistake.”
