He Zhuo, the youngest daughter of the Irgen Gioro family, was bestowed a marriage to the 'Eldest Prince' of Emperor Kangxi's lineage.
Her story is about diligently raising childre...
Sixth Brother Jia Hui was furious. "I married you, but you can't do anything. What's the point of having you?" However, he still enjoyed the maid's company.
However, he did not want the child born to the maid, so he continued to drink the herbal medicine, thinking he would wait a few more years.
And so, due to the imperial court's reassignment, Sixth Brother was also sent to a post outside the capital.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, his wife gave him a big "surprise".
"Mother, don't worry. What is it? How can I help you if you don't explain clearly?"
The lady looked around and then told He Zhuo to have Granny Shi and Bai Xia leave as well.
After everyone had left, Lady Irgen Gioro hesitated for a while, then whispered the story in someone's ear.
He Zhuo never expected that his sixth sister-in-law would be so avant-garde. At first, her refusal to share a room could be explained by the fact that her sixth brother, Jia Hui, was tall and strong, and she was afraid of him. Later, because of the fact that her sixth brother was practicing martial arts, he let her have her way.
Surprisingly, it wasn't because she thought Sixth Brother was too big and was afraid of him or anything; she simply didn't like men and preferred women.
Sixth Brother, who returned early, caught them in the act: the two women were having marital relations inside the tent.
Sixth Brother was so angry his nose was crooked. How could he not be angry? He had a huge green meadow on his head, and it was pink.
After interrogation, it was revealed that this had been going on for more than just a day or two; it had been going on since she first married into the family. All the maids in Sixth Sister-in-law's room had affairs with her, including the two concubines given to Sixth Brother, which disgusted Sixth Brother to no end.
The matter escalated, and naturally, Mother found out as well, and she was utterly disgusted.
In this day and age, it's not uncommon for men to seek out male prostitutes, but it's utterly unbelievable that women would seek out other women.
He Zhuo's first incarnation in modern times was more accepting of this matter. After a brief period of surprise and anger, she came to terms with it. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force her to do anything.
However, as a wife, failing to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations as a wife and acting recklessly is not something that can be simply let go of.
After hearing about the incident, the sixth sister-in-law attempted suicide twice and is now under strict surveillance.
He Zhuo scoffed. "Now that you know you're going to die, why didn't you think of that sooner? This isn't something that can be resolved with a simple suicide. Humph!"
In fact, wealthy families would usually kill people quietly in such messy situations. However, Sixth Sister-in-law had a special status. She was a member of the imperial family and was married to Emperor Kangxi. The Empress Dowager also bestowed a dowry upon her.
As subjects, the Irgen Gioro family could not be disposed of at will.
"Mother, is this matter true? Are the witnesses and physical evidence conclusive?"
“Your Highness, that’s for sure. They were caught red-handed, but the maid died on the spot, and the other maids have been put under guard. So the evidence is conclusive.”
"So, what does Mother intend to do?"
Lady Irgen Gioro is already 60 years old, and her hair has turned much whiter. However, when she talks about this, her eyes flash with a fierce light, as if she wants to devour someone.
“This kind of slut deserves to die, but we can’t let her tarnish your sixth brother’s reputation. For so long, people have been saying that my son is infertile. They have to give us an explanation for this. We can’t let this disgusting woman die and be buried in the ancestral grave without any explanation.”
“Mother is right,” He Zhuo agreed with Mother on this point. “We shouldn’t damage the jade bottle just to catch a rat.”
"But does Sixth Brother have his own opinion? Mother, have you asked him? If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
"Well, your sixth brother didn't say anything about what to do with that slut, but from what I can tell from his words, Mother doesn't want that woman to be known as his wife anymore."
