Chapter 2569: Favoring Sons over Daughters

The Tang family is a family of generals.

For generations, men have served in the army, fought on the battlefield, and were loyal to the royal family of the Jintian Empire.

And the Tang family did not disappoint the royal family.

In almost every generation, there are some generals who have made great military achievements for the Jintian Empire.

…

Tang Zheng, the head of the Tang family in this generation, is less than fifty years old and is one of the youngest family heads.

He joined the army at the age of sixteen, was promoted to centurion at the age of eighteen, promoted to ten thousand men at the age of nineteen, and promoted to the commander of an army at the age of twenty.

Among ordinary people, he has high martial arts skills and once took the head of an enemy general in the army of ten thousand people with his own strength.

Until now, he has become one of the ten commanders in the Jintian Empire, and his majesty is second only to the royal family.

This will make another strong mark in the history of the Tang family.

However, for families who have served in the army for a long time, the preference for boys over girls has always existed.

Especially Tang Zheng, who has high hopes for his own sons!

He had imagined that his son would fight on the battlefield like himself, sweeping away everything and making the enemy tremble with fear.

What kind of momentum is that? !

He had been busy with military affairs until a few months ago, when he had time to go home.

It was this time that good news came from his wife.

After more than 20 years of marriage, Tang Zheng's wife was finally pregnant!

The mistress of the Tang family was pregnant, which should have been a great joy, but when the royal doctor came to diagnose, the festive atmosphere in the Tang family was immediately suppressed.

The mistress was pregnant with a girl, not a boy!

This was a huge blow to Tang Zheng.

Even... it could be said to be bad news!

The age of a mortal, even if practicing martial arts, is only about 120 years old.

Tang Zheng was nearly 50 years old and just had a child, but it was a girl. How could he bear this?

In the future, he might still be busy with military affairs. As long as time was delayed a little, the two would be over the age of having children.

In other words, the baby she was pregnant with this time was Tang Zheng's only hope.

Is his own glory going to be ruined?

"Master, a girl is also possible!"

"Yes, although most of them are men who join the army, if a woman is brave enough, she can also be as glorious as you."

"Master, don't think too much, what if the imperial physician made a mistake in diagnosis?"

Many people have advised Tang Zheng in this way.

Tang Zheng had no choice but to wait.

What if, as those persuaders said... the imperial physician made a mistake in diagnosis?

...

When the mistress of the Tang family was three months pregnant, the Jintian Empire went to war again.

The royal family ordered Tang Zheng to lead the army to fight on the battlefield.

Tang Zheng did not dare to disobey the order and delayed for three days.

Because the imperial physician would diagnose his wife for the second time during these three days.

However, this second diagnosis disappointed Tang Zheng again.

The imperial physician was 100% sure that his wife was pregnant with a girl.

Tang Zheng was so angry that everyone in the Tang family was dissatisfied with his wife.

On the fourth day, Tang Zheng brought his nephew Tang Xin to the army.

In Tang Zheng's line, besides himself, there is a younger brother and an older brother. Tang Zheng is the second oldest.

And Tang Xin is the son of his younger brother, Tang Hui.

Everyone understands Tang Zheng's thoughts.

Since he has no son, Tang Zheng naturally puts his hope on his nephew.

Tang Hui is also happy about this. Anyway, Tang Xin will join the army sooner or later. With Tang Zheng's leadership, he will surely be able to quickly rise in the military.

...

On the third day after Tang Zheng and Tang Xin left, a man in black came to the Tang family.

It was Su Han!

"Who are you looking for?"

The Tang family guard stared at the man in black and asked.

"I am Su Liu, looking for the head of the Tang family." Su Han said.

Su Liu is his new pseudonym with Liu Qingyao's surname.

"The master of the family is not here. He has already gone to the army. What do you want to see him for?" the guard said.

Su Han pondered for a moment and said the words he had prepared long ago.

"I know a little about the law of war. I heard that the master of the Tang family is one of the ten commanders of the Jintian Empire. I came here to tell you something."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the guard immediately showed a hint of joy: "It turned out to be the counselor, I am sorry, I am sorry!"

"You are flattering." Su Han smiled.

"In that case, please come with me, the counselor, and stay at the Tang family for a while. After the master of the family comes back, I will discuss the war with you. How about it?" The guard clasped his fists and said.

"Okay." Su Han nodded.

Next, the guard took Su Han into the Tang family.

Along the way, Su Han saw many people from the Tang family and heard a lot of discussions.

"Have you heard? The imperial physician diagnosed it again, and the mistress is still pregnant with a girl!"

"Alas... this is exactly why the head of the family is furious!"

"With the head of the family's brilliant military record, if the mistress was pregnant with a boy, he would definitely be as powerful as him, but who would have thought that she was pregnant with a girl."

"At the age of the head of the family and the mistress, plus the head of the family is busy with military affairs all year round, it would be difficult to get pregnant again, right?"

"So, the head of the family can only place his hope on Master Xin."

"It's so sad that in a family like ours that is a military family, a girl is pregnant. The mistress has not been doing well these days."

"She deserves it. Who made her pregnant with a girl? The glory of the family head's lineage will probably be ruined by her!"

...

Su Han's brows gradually frowned.

Obviously, they were talking about Tang Zheng's wife.

And only Su Han knew that the girl Tang Zheng's wife was pregnant with was Liu Qingyao!

Su Han never thought that Liu Qingyao would be reincarnated in such a family that favors boys over girls. She was despised before she was born.

"Fortunately, I'm here." Su Han snorted in his heart.

Military nobles?

Illustrious military exploits?

Glorious and glorious?

Compared with Liu Qingyao, what is that?

In silence, Su Han suddenly asked the guard: "It seems that the mistress of the Tang family is pregnant?"

"Yes."

The guard did not hide it, sighed, and said: "The imperial physician diagnosed twice, both times it was a woman, which made the head of the family very resentful!"

Sure enough!

Su Han's expression became colder.

When it comes to the pregnancy of the mistress of the Tang family, no one will show joy on their faces. Some actually sighed, or even sad.

"I have heard that among the cultivators, there are women who are amazing and powerful. They can turn their hands to clouds and turn their hands to rain." Su Han said lightly.

"After all, they are cultivators. How many people can become cultivators?"

The guard shook his head, obviously not hearing what Su Han meant, and continued: "The Tang family can have such a great reputation among mortals, which is already very strong. Cultivators? That is something I never dared to hope for..."
