Dori once had a sister whom she loved very much. Unfortunately, when Dori was still young, her sister fell seriously ill. The medicine to cure this illness cost at least tens of millions of Mora, a price that a poor family could not even begin to imagine.
In the end, her sister's young life faded away in Dori's arms. While sorting through her sister's belongings, Dori found a crumpled prescription hidden under the pillow.
The sister, who always smiled and shook her head to refuse treatment, perhaps only dared to take a few glances at it in the dead of night, fantasizing about that unreachable hope of survival.
Looking at her sister's note, Dori silently made a resolution: she would earn plenty of Mora so that she would never see her loved ones smile in sadness again, and would never lose anything because of a lack of Mora.
It was precisely because of this obsession that Dori received the attention of the gods and obtained a Vision. At the same time, it also gave her a near-maniacal fixation on Mora, supporting this small body to shoulder the burdens of life and step by step become the richest person in Sumeru.
Seeing Klee's cute appearance and the expression when he called her "sister," Dori's thoughts were instantly pulled back to her own childhood, when she had also pestered her own sister like that.
Coupled with the fact that Klee was the daughter of Ms. Alice, Dori suddenly felt an urge to take care of Klee.
Seeing these two little girls, Dori and Klee, holding hands, Miyashiro and Shenhe both revealed a smile. Miyashiro looked at Shenhe's lower abdomen and specifically whispered into Shenhe's ear: "Do you think the child in our belly is a boy or a girl?"
Hearing his husband make intimate moves with him in public, and discussing the matter of the child, Shenhe was also a bit embarrassed, but still whispered: "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Upon hearing this, Miyashiro sincerely said: "It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl. I actually quite like a daughter. Who wouldn't like to have a sweet, caring little cotton-padded jacket at home?"
Hearing this, Shenhe calmly said: "If you like a boy, I will give you a son; if you like a girl, I will give you a daughter. However, as a woman, and also for the sake of the Uchiha Clan, I still hope to give you a son."
Miyashiro naturally understood what Shenhe meant and comforted him: "Don't have too much psychological pressure. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's our child. Besides, we aren't just having this one."
Hearing this, Shenhe couldn't help but blush, quietly pinching the soft flesh on Miyashiro's waist, causing Miyashiro to chuckle.
Although the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is rare in the world of Teyvat, and the social status of women is not low—with many high-ranking officials and even gods in various countries being female—for a clan, the status of males is still crucial.
Especially for a clan like the Uchiha, which has few members and possesses a hereditary condition like the Sharingan, naturally, the more boys, the better. If a daughter is born and marries into another family, then the cheat-like Sharingan wouldn't be exclusive to the Uchiha Clan anymore.
Leaving the Sumeru table, they finally arrived at Miyashiro's own base camp, which was also the part with the most guests. It was the big day for their own Regent, and as officials under Miyashiro, they naturally had to offer their congratulations.
Unfortunately, not all officials were qualified enough for Miyashiro to personally send invitations. Thus, almost all the officials who could pull strings were present. Even if they didn't come in person, their gifts would not be missing.
However, faced with this type of person, Miyashiro's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before. Except for some people Miyashiro knew, for the vast majority of officials, Miyashiro and Shenhe only toasted one glass of wine per table and then exchanged pleasantries before hurriedly moving to the next table.
However, while heading to the last table, Miyashiro saw two people who left a deep impression on him: Kujou Kamaji and Hiiragi Chisato, whose family fortunes had declined precisely because of his rise to power.
These two, who were originally pampered young masters and young ladies, now had faces filled with the vicissitudes of life. The temperament of the two had undergone earth-shaking changes, but from their tightly held hands and the gentle expressions they looked at each other with, it was clear that they were very loving now, especially Hiiragi Chisato, who was already showing signs of pregnancy.
Originally, with their current status, they were not qualified to participate in this wedding. However, Sara invited them on the grounds of their outstanding contributions in Seirai City, which left them feeling a bit uneasy.
When Miyashiro noticed them, they naturally also saw Miyashiro, who was the focus of the crowd. After such a long time, seeing this Regent who had caused their family's ruin again, whether it was Kujou Kamaji or Hiiragi Chisato, their eyes were complex, but they did not have that kind of hostile hatred.
After Kamaji and Chisato were married, especially after Chisato became pregnant, Kamaji's mindset had already changed. Nowadays, he just wanted to live peacefully. As for the unreachable Regent, he had long since...
Miyashiro took Shenhe and walked in front of them in front of everyone. Kujou Kamaji hurriedly supported his wife, and they both stood up to return the toast.
Miyashiro looked them up and down for a while, which put immense pressure on Kujou Kamaji and Hiiragi Chisato, cold sweat streaming down as they feared the Regent would settle scores later.
Miyashiro was silent for a moment and finally spoke: "Long time no see. Do you still blame me?"
Kujou Kamaji hurriedly said with shame: "My father committed an unforgivable crime against Inazuma and was judged by the Shogun. He deserved it. That the Regent could spare my life for the sake of Chisato, Kamaji is still extremely grateful to this day. How would I dare to blame the Regent?"
Miyashiro: "Oh, is it true that you don't blame me? Or do you just not dare to blame me?"
These words from Miyashiro caused Kamaji and Chisato to kneel on the ground, swearing that they truly did not blame him.
Seeing this, Miyashiro signaled for them to stand up. Shenhe, as the bride, helped the also-pregnant Hiiragi Chisato up. Miyashiro then personally poured them a glass of wine and said: "Don't think too much. The past is in the past. Don't always worry about whether someone will take revenge."
"I heard from Sara that you two are doing quite well in Seirai City now. Mr. Kamaji has become a Kendo coach, and Ms. Chisato has become a teacher, making quite a few contributions to the initial construction of Seirai City. This actually makes me quite gratified. After all, you two are high-quality talents of Inazuma. It would be too wasteful if you really became ordinary civilians farming the land."
Kamaji heard this and said somewhat flattered: "For the Regent to say so makes Kamaji ashamed. I just wanted to do more for Inazuma to make up for the harm my father caused Inazuma. Although I know this is just a drop in the bucket, at least it can reduce the guilt in my heart a little."
Miyashiro raised his glass and smiled: "It's good to have this idea. I toast the two of you a drink. With you two here, the family may not necessarily be unable to make a comeback."
