He knew that his wife's lineage still had no daughters, and that the entire Jiang family would belong to Jiang Rongxi in the future. If she truly didn't want to care about these children, they wouldn't be able to blame her. He hadn't expected her to say such heartwarming words.

Rong Xi said gently, "Father, please pack up. We will be leaving soon."

Liang nodded quickly: "Okay."

Song Yanyin also heard the news and couldn't help but lament the injustice the world showed to men. He had met his elder brother before; he was such a gentle and virtuous man, a truly rare and wonderful person, but he had never expected him to end up in such a situation.

At this time, Rong Xi's voice came: "Yin'er, pack up and come with us later."

Song Yanyin was a little surprised: "Me, going too?"

Rong Xi nodded affirmatively: "Well, you can also help persuade big brother when the time comes."

Although Song Yanyin had some concerns in his heart, after all, with his current status, it was not appropriate for him to show up. He was just a child husband, and if you were to be serious, he was not even a concubine. However, since his wife asked him to go with her, he agreed: "Okay."

.

When Rong Xi and his companions entered the Zhu family's front hall, they found it packed with the entire Zhu family. Jiang Zhuxi knelt alone on the cold ground. He was frail, his back straight, yet an expression of immense loneliness permeated his face. He said nothing, only his slightly trembling shoulders betraying his inner sorrow.

When the Zhu family saw Rong Xi and others coming in, their originally arrogant expressions instantly subsided a bit. After all, Liang was the wife of the county magistrate, and this identity prevented them from acting recklessly.

The head of the Zhu family was the first to react. He quickly straightened his clothes and took the lead in standing up to salute them. The others also followed suit and bowed. Although the gesture was respectful, it still contained a hint of reluctance and unwillingness.

Liang's mind and eyes were filled with her son on the ground. She had no time to pay attention to the Zhu family's hypocritical greetings. She rushed over in two steps, eagerly helping Jiang Zhuxi up with both hands, her voice filled with tears and pity.

"You silly child, you've suffered such a great injustice here, why don't you go home and tell us?"

When the Zhu family saw that they were being ignored, their faces turned pale and blue, and they felt very embarrassed.

One of the older women, who looked quite dignified, couldn't help but speak.

"What are you talking about, my dear? How is Second Master being wronged here? For the past three years, our Zhu family has provided him with good food and drink. How have we treated him unfairly?"

Rong Xi looked around and found that no one came to arrange for them to sit down. Although she was a little unhappy, she did not show it. She just raised her chin slightly and took Song Yanyin to find a seat calmly, wanting to see the situation first.

Seeing that Liang did not respond to the woman's words, the old man of the Zhu family coughed heavily and spoke again in a louder voice.

"If you're talking about being wronged, it's my Zhu family that's wronged! He's been married to the Zhu family for three years, and he still hasn't been able to give my granddaughter even a single child. This will cut off the incense of my Zhu family! We really can't have a son-in-law like this anymore. Take him back today."

When Jiang Zhuxi heard this, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees again, tears streaming silently.

Rong Xi wanted to take this opportunity to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a clear and firm voice.

"Grandfather, I won't divorce my wife!"

It turned out to be Jiang Zhuxi's wife. She knelt down without hesitation, and the maids and servants who served her also knelt down in unison.

She has always been the most beloved in the Zhu family. If it were in the past, the old man would have been so distressed that he would have stepped forward to help her up. But today, the old man just frowned and sat there without moving an inch.

"This is not your call! There are three types of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. Do you really want to disobey me?"

"Grandfather, my husband has been taking medicine for years. Please give us some time. Perhaps the baby will come soon. You know, having children is a matter of fate. Who knows, one day when fate arrives, the baby will come naturally."

The woman's voice was filled with pleading and expectation, and her eyes were full of pity for Jiang Zhuxi.

"Qing'er, you said this a year ago, but what about now? Still nothing! I'm doing this for your own good! No matter what, there are only two options today. Either Jiang will be demoted to a concubine, and you can marry another man. Or you can divorce her. Think about it carefully."

The old man's tone left no room for doubt, and his eyes were filled with determination.

The two men kneeling on the ground slowly turned their heads to look at each other, their eyes filled with reluctance. However, reality, like a ruthless blade, stood between them, leaving them helpless.

Rong Xi watched this scene quietly, and he already understood in his heart that his elder sister-in-law did have deep feelings for his elder brother, but the issue of offspring became an insurmountable gap between them.

From the old man's perspective, it seems normal for him to think this way. After all, the eldest brother is the only man by the eldest sister-in-law's side in these years.

Rong Xi quietly used the medical system to conduct a detailed examination on the two people on the ground.

This test shocked her greatly. It turned out that it was not her elder brother who had difficulty in conceiving, but her elder sister-in-law. Her elder brother also had a constitution that made it difficult for him to conceive. No wonder he had not been able to have children for all these years.

"Let me say a few words."

Rong Xi's clear voice rang out in the hall, and everyone looked sideways. Just now, everyone was immersed in their own disputes and did not pay much attention to the only daughter of the Jiang family.

At this moment, facing the woman Rong Xi, their attitude instantly became much more respectful, even the old man who was quite arrogant at the beginning was no exception.

"I think this is the girl from the Jiang family. You are still young and unmarried, so you probably don't understand these things. Having children is a family affair, and it concerns the inheritance of the Zhu family's bloodline. Please don't talk nonsense here."

Although the old man's tone still had a bit of majesty, it was already polite compared to his previous attitude towards Jiang Zhuxi.

"I say, and you just listen."

Rong Xi's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked directly at the old man with a firm gaze, not taking the old man's authority into consideration at all. The old man's face suddenly became very ugly, and he was secretly annoyed that this girl from the Jiang family did not know the hierarchy and dared to speak to him like this.

Rong Xi stood up, walked lightly to the center of the hall, bent down and gently helped Jiang Zhuxi up. As for the second girl from the Zhu family who was still kneeling on the ground, she ignored her.

"Although bearing children is a man's responsibility, not being able to do so isn't necessarily entirely his fault. Everything in this world has cause and effect, and the same is true for offspring. How can you conclude it's my elder brother's fault based solely on appearances?"
