In January of the following year, Zhong Yi successfully gave birth to a son, named Ye Sian by Ye Qiu. He said that he would strictly educate him in the future, but in fact, he only had the basic wish for him—peace and safety in all four seasons. This was the best blessing a father could give his child.
After giving birth to a son, Zhong Yi seemed relieved, even though Ye Qiu never cared about it. Yet, there was always a bit of pressure in her heart.
Because she married Ye Qiu in a social climb, and almost no one from her maternal family, without a son to rely on in the future, she always felt that this happiness was somewhat unreal.
Ye Qiu was not unaware of her insecurity, but the better he treated her, the more she felt she was unworthy. He knew that after the child was born, her mindset would change, so he went along with it.
