She sighed softly, "Empress Dowager, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"Silly child. Is there any need for thanks? You're giving the Wan Family a grandson, after all. It's only right for the Wan Family to do so.

"But, I also look forward to this child myself."
Her eyes brightened, "Empress Dowager, you don't know how much I longed for this child. When I first heard the news, I was overjoyed... I was an only child growing up, without siblings. Later, my parents passed away early, and because of poverty, I had little contact with relatives... In many moments of despair and hardship, I always thought, if only I had many relatives, then there would be people to help each other..."
