Su Yunjin didn't mind and wasn't in a hurry, but Mrs. Shen shook her head, "Yun'er, I still think it's important for your second sister to have a son as soon as possible. How about this? Talk to your second sister more and make sure she understands the importance of this matter. Don't let her take her husband's kindness for granted and neglect the issue of having children."
Mrs. Shen kept on with her long-winded talk; in the eyes of ancient women, only after having children could a married daughter truly have support in her husband's home. This was true for ordinary families, and even more so for prestigious ones. Especially within the confines of a high-ranking family, the importance of a son was all the more pronounced.
If the head wife wasn't able to have children, she might even find herself overshadowed by a concubine in the household. Only a son could become a woman's support.
