Grandma Sun couldn't wait any longer and anxiously asked Sun Shuyao to take her to find that master.

On the way, Sun Shuyao asked curiously, "Is my aunt really pregnant with triplets?"

Grandma Sun: "Definitely. Look at that big belly, it's bigger than my second son's wife's belly when she was two months pregnant."

Sun Shuyao's eyes darkened slightly. She knew who would like a girl. With so many children in Jiang Linwan's belly, there was bound to be one boy.

They really know how to put on an act.

Sun Shuyao led Grandma Sun through many twists and turns before finally finding the place where Midwife Cui lived.

Grandma Sun looked at the place with some suspicion: "Shuyao, is your master a legitimate doctor? Why does she live in such a remote place? How could a normal family find her home?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd stumbled into some hidden secret base.

Sun Shuyao scolded with a stern face: "My master is a legitimate doctor with good medical skills, so many people come to her for treatment."

She felt tired, so she deliberately found a secluded spot, afraid that too many people would ask her for favors.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Sun suddenly realized what she meant, and her tone immediately became respectful: "Shuyao, just take it as me talking nonsense, I was just saying it offhand."

Sun Shuyao glared at her: "Watch your words when you go in. My master has a bad temper. If you anger her and get kicked out, I can't help you a second time."

Grandma Sun nodded repeatedly and followed Sun Shuyao into the courtyard.

"Master, an old lady of mine wants you to tell me whether her daughter-in-law is having a boy or a girl," Sun Shuyao shouted as she entered the courtyard and stood in the middle of the yard waiting.

A hoarse voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

She then hurriedly pulled Grandma Sun into the house.

As soon as the two entered, a middle-aged man quickly left the house.

Midwife Cui straightened her clothes, then looked up at Sun Shuyao with a serious expression: "Shuyao's here. Come in. Didn't you bring the pregnant woman?"

Grandma Sun immediately replied, "No, I'm at home. I just wanted to ask if I could bring the person over."

"Shuyao didn't explain it clearly to you. Does this mean you don't trust my medical skills?" Midwife Cui's tone became much sterner.

Grandma Sun was so frightened that she immediately said, "How could that be? It's mainly because my daughter-in-law has a bad temper. If I bring her along, she might not agree. I would like to ask you to come with me to the family compound to take a look at her."

Upon hearing the words "family compound," a strange glint flashed in Midwife Cui's eyes. She quickly nodded in agreement: "Your son is a soldier? No problem. Soldiers are out there protecting the country. I'll make an exception and accompany you on this trip."

Sun Shuyao scoffed from the side, "Pregnant women from the surrounding islands, including those in the town, will basically all come to my master's place. Some people from the city will also come to my master to see these things about women."

Grandma Su's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this: "Dr. Cui, then I'll trouble you. Could you come with me now to take a look at my wife?"

Midwife Cui nodded in agreement and led Sun Shuyao and the other woman out of the courtyard.

On the way, Grandma Sun kept talking: "My daughter-in-law keeps saying that she's having a boy, but I think it might be a girl."

She has three daughters and one son in her family; I don't think she's destined to have a boy.

Midwife Cui raised an eyebrow as she listened to her rambling: "What, are you saying you don't want your daughter-in-law to give birth to a son?"

Grandma Sun didn't even think before replying, "Hmph, my daughter-in-law has a terrible temper. Before our son was even born, she was already instigating my second son to go against me."

If she really has a son, he might even try to take advantage of me.

Realizing her mistake, she quickly changed her tune, saying, "How could I not want him to have a son? If he does, my second child will have an heir."

Midwife Cui observed her transformation but remained silent, her lips barely moving.

As soon as the three arrived at the entrance of the family compound, Sun Shuyao was stopped by the guard: "Comrade Sun, please wait a moment. We need to inform Regiment Commander Lu before you go in."

Upon hearing this, Sun Shuyao's face turned red with anger: "Then why were Aunt Sun and my master allowed to go in?"

Guard: "Grandma Sun is a relative of Battalion Commander Sun, and the other person is a doctor that Grandma Sun invited for her sister-in-law."

"But I'm Commander Lu's niece-in-law!" Sun Shuyao said angrily.

Guard: "This was personally instructed by Commander Lu and Commander Yang. Whenever you come with Commander Lu's nephew, you need to report to them."

Sun Shuyao was so angry that she trembled all over. It must be that bitch Jiang Linwan who whispered in her uncle's ear.

She will tell Chengyu when she gets back.

Sun Shuyao stood there waiting for most of the day.

Grandma Sun led Midwife Cui into Liu Guiying's house. Upon seeing her mother-in-law with other people, Liu Guiying's expression immediately darkened: "Mom, who is this?"

Grandma Sun said excitedly, "This is the doctor I specially found for you. He's been doing midwifery for decades..."

Liu Guiying was initially reluctant, but when she heard her mother-in-law say that the woman was an obstetrician with decades of experience and could even tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl, her attitude changed instantly, and she became much more enthusiastic.

"Dr. Cui, please come in quickly, I'll get you a glass of sweet water."

After Liu Guiying finished speaking, she hurriedly went into the house and came out with a bowl of sweet water.

Without even glancing at her, Midwife Cui went straight to the point: "Let me take your pulse."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiying immediately reached out her hand. Midwife Cui placed her fingers on Liu Guiying's wrist, occasionally frowning.

Liu Guiying felt uneasy: "Dr. Cui, is there something wrong with me?"

Midwife Cui said sternly, "Don't speak, breathe normally and calm down."

Liu Guiying was so frightened that she dared not say a word. After taking her pulse, the midwife Cui stood up and asked her to lift her outer clothes, staring at her belly and touching it here and there.

Then, somewhat disappointed, he shook his head: "I think there's a 90% chance you're having a girl."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiying immediately panicked: "How could that be? People say sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl. I love sour foods, how could it be a girl?"

Midwife Cui: "Your statements have no scientific basis. The sex of a child is not determined by this."

When Grandma Sun heard this, her face lit up with joy. Luckily, it was her daughter, not her son, otherwise her second son's wife would have really taken advantage of her.

Sun Yaozong and Sun Yaozu, who were watching the commotion from a short distance away, also looked delighted when they heard what the midwife, Cui, said.

Fortunately, his second aunt was carrying a girl; otherwise, if she had given birth to a son, his second uncle would definitely not have loved them.

Liu Guiying stood stiffly in the courtyard, looking utterly dejected, and asked the midwife, Cui, "How could it be a girl? Do you have any medicine that can turn her into a son?"
