"That's right, that's right. The City Lord's wife is pregnant, and isn't it with the Junior City Lord? The previous Junior City Lord has been missing for so many years; he's long gone, right?"
"Since he's no longer around, if the City Lord's wife gives birth to another child, wouldn't that be the new Junior City Lord?"
The group of people chattered away enthusiastically.
"What if the City Lord's wife ends up giving birth to a girl?" Lin Baizhong's single remark instantly silenced everyone.
"Uh."
The group collectively froze.
Yeah, if the City Lord's wife gave birth to a baby girl, how could that be the Junior City Lord?
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Someone mused doubtfully.
"I heard the City Lord's wife personally asked the City Lord's sworn brother to check her pulse. Later, the rumor of the Junior City Lord spread around town. Doesn't that mean the child in the City Lord's wife's belly is definitely the Junior City Lord?"
"Lu Tianfeng?"
