She was supported by her two daughters-in-law and walked back slowly with red eyes.
Wang still had medicine in her hand.
There were often plays to watch at the General's Mansion, so the old lady looked weak with red eyes.
When the family members living nearby saw it, some of them came forward to ask about it with concern.
The old lady opposite, who had a good relationship with Old Lady Xiao, asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Old Mrs. Xiao looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. "I, I'll go get the medicine."
The old lady opposite was stunned for a moment, "Are you sick?"
Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, “No, I caught it for my daughter-in-law.”
Wang on the side was a little confused. Wasn't the medicine her son's? The old lady opposite had a bad impression of Ge Chunru, "What happened to your daughter-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Xiao leaned over and said to her: “I’ll just tell you, I won’t tell anyone else.”
She knew that the old lady could not keep a secret at all. Once the other party knew about it, everyone in the area would know about it.
The old lady opposite immediately perked up, "Okay, I won't tell anyone else either."
Just tell a few good friends.
Old Madam Xiao said, “My wife deliberately made a scene when she went to the village to worship the ancestors before, and she had a miscarriage.”
"Not long ago, her brother was expelled from the academy because of his bad character. My son originally arranged an errand for him, but on the way, he looked down on the merchants and had his leg chopped off during the conflict."
"My daughter-in-law got so anxious that she lost the baby she just conceived."
She never mentioned that Ge Chunru's miscarriage was also related to them.
"My son asked a doctor to come and see me. He said that my daughter-in-law had suffered from multiple miscarriages and that she might not be able to have children in the future."
The old lady opposite was very surprised, "Ah, why can't you give birth?"
"It seems that she is the only woman your son has."
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Yes, she can't give birth to a child, and she doesn't allow my son to touch other women."
"I can only go to the doctor myself and ask him to prescribe some nourishing medicine for her to take, but the hope is not great."
"But she may not eat it. She even complained that I, her mother-in-law, was an eyesore. So in about half a month, I will leave the capital."
The old lady opposite couldn't help but sympathize with Old Lady Xiao, "You are such an unfilial daughter-in-law."
"You can't have children yourself, and you don't allow your son to touch other women. Aren't you trying to make your son extinct?"
Old Mrs. Xiao said with red eyes: "Yes, I am now worried about what my son will do after I leave!"
"Taking a concubine, as a mother, it is only natural for you to take a concubine for your son."
The old lady opposite suggested, "Just go find two innocent women who can give birth to your son. This concerns the heir, so you can't let your daughter-in-law do it."
She was glad that although her daughter-in-law was a village woman, she was virtuous and fertile.
She's much better than that little goblin in the general's mansion.
Old Mrs. Xiao said tangledly: "Will she blame me again?"
The old lady opposite said angrily: "You are her mother-in-law. If she wants to blame you, just let your son divorce her."
"Being childless is against the seven grounds for divorce."
"If she dares to make trouble, come to us and we will help you talk to her."
Why keep a daughter-in-law who is neither filial nor virtuous?
Old Madam Xiao seemed to have made up her mind. "Okay, for the sake of my son's future, I will take in a few concubines for him."
"If my daughter-in-law wants to blame someone, blame me."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Mrs. Xiao was supported by her daughter-in-law and went back to the general's mansion.
The old lady across the street went to tell her good friend about this matter.
Everyone in the harem despised Ge Chunru. It was too much that she couldn't give birth herself and yet she didn't allow men to take concubines.
The men felt that Xiao Yuanshi was too indulgent to his young wife. He was too afraid of his wife to take a concubine just because she did not allow it.
Then he told people he knew well, and within a few days, everyone in the court also knew about it.
When Old Mrs. Xiao returned home, she did not go to Ge Chunru's yard immediately.
Instead, he waited until Xiao Yuanshi came back from the yamen and went to have dinner with Ge Chunru before he took Dalang's concubine, who had been beaten black and blue, to the yard.
Seeing Old Lady Xiao and others coming in with gloomy faces, Xiao Yuanshi put down his chopsticks and had a bad feeling.
He already knew that someone from Old Xiao's family had gone to look for his son this morning.
Now it seems that something is wrong.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Why can't we come yet?"
Xiao Yuanshi immediately asked the maid to bring chairs for the old lady and the old man to sit on, "Of course you can."
Old Madam Xiao did not beat around the bush and said with a sullen face: “Second brother, I am here to settle accounts with your wife today.”
Xiao Yuanshi felt a pain in his heart, "What happened?"
Ever since the people from Old Xiao's family came, he and his wife have a quarrel every so often, and he is very annoyed.
Old Lady Xiao snorted, "Bring that little bitch in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dalang grabbed her concubine's hair, pulled her in, and kicked her to the ground.
He looked at Ge Chunru with some hatred in his eyes, "Second Aunt, I will return your people to you."
Ge Chunru's originally indifferent expression changed slightly when he saw the woman on the ground.
"Da Lang, what do you mean by that? Isn't this your concubine? What does it have to do with me?"
Xiao Dalang sneered, "I know everything about how you arranged for her to sell herself to bury her father, how you let this woman seduce me, and how you passed on her disease to me."
"Did I dig up your ancestral graves or kill your entire family? Why do you want to harm me like this?"
He now really wanted to go up and slap this stinky woman a few times, but he couldn't do it because his second uncle was there.
Ge Chunru was shocked. She didn't expect that Xiao Dalang and others actually knew about it.
She looked at the woman on the ground.
The other person covered his swollen face and shook his head slightly at her, meaning that she didn't say that.
Ge Chunru finally breathed a sigh of relief, "She is not mine, please don't wrongly accuse me."
"You shameless vixen, don't think we can do nothing to you just because you don't admit it."
The old lady was so angry when she saw Ge Chunru's appearance that she couldn't help but rush over and grab her hair and slap her twice, "You little bitch, I'll let you harm my grandson."
"You're such a vicious vixen. No wonder you keep having miscarriages and won't be able to have children in the future. This is pure retribution."
"You are a hen that can't lay eggs, and you don't allow my son to take a concubine. Who do you think you are?"
Then he slapped Ge Chunru a few more times, leaving her hair in disarray and her face swollen.
Wang couldn't help but rushed forward.
He punched Ge Chunru in the stomach several times, "You bitch, you hurt my son, I will fight you."
Since you can't have children, then don't have any in the future.
The two of them were so fast that Xiao Yuanshi didn't react in time.
By the time he hurried to pull the old lady and Wang apart, his beloved wife had already been beaten badly.
