Chapter 150 Reactions from all parties
"You really make me so angry!" Madam Zhu looked at Zhu with a look of disappointment. "If this doctor can't cure me, can't you change doctors? If the doctor in Zhaohua County doesn't work, we can also ask the doctor in the prefecture to come. It's not like we can't afford the money.
How long can you keep guarding against men? No matter what, you need a son by your side to have the confidence to speak and act!"
Zhu suddenly thought of the pregnant Cuilan, and her face became more ferocious. "So what if I have a son? A lowly person has a lowly fate. Whether he lives or dies is up to me!"
Mrs. Zhu shook her head in disappointment and sighed. She didn't intend to continue arguing with her daughter who was nitpicking. She just said calmly, "You have been married for two years and you really don't have any children. The Bai family must have had some complaints. Listen to me. If your son-in-law comes to pick you up, go down the stairs and take a concubine for him to ease the relationship between husband and wife."
Zhu was not convinced and wanted to talk back.
Madam Zhu did not give her a chance to speak, but just looked at her sternly, "There are several advantages to you taking the initiative to take a concubine. First, you have the final say on the selection of the concubine, and you have the indenture in your hand. You can do whatever you want with her in the future, and your mother-in-law and husband have no right to interfere.
Secondly, you can gain a reputation for being virtuous. Thirdly, if you get pregnant and give birth to a child in the future, the illegitimate child will not be able to surpass your child and will have to obey you.
Even if you really can't have a baby, you can still give birth to the baby and raise it as your own, right?"
Zhu was so angry that she cried loudly, "Mom, I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"
Rulan came in from outside and reported respectfully: "The eldest young master's wife is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yixuan's first wife Cui came in with her people. Seeing the embarrassed Zhu, she immediately said something sarcastic, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I, as your sister-in-law, look down on you. After all, you are also a lady from a wealthy family. You should have learned the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants.
You've been married into the Bai family for such a long time, but you haven't laid an egg yet. The Bai family hasn't said anything. Do you really think they're not anxious?
I've also heard about Cuilan's story. That girl is really a big-hearted person who can't be kept. But you should also reflect on yourself. If you don't give your husband a few concubines, he might do something even more outrageous in the future. What will happen to you then?"
"Shut up!" Zhu glared at Cui, wishing she could tear her to pieces alive.
Cui pouted and said to Madam Zhu in a wronged tone, "Mother, I am speaking out of consideration for my sister-in-law. My words are rough but my point is true. Don't you agree? Please persuade her. She can't continue to be so willful!"
My daughter-in-law just sent someone to inquire, and it seems that Madam Bai has already found concubines for her son. One of them is a distant relative of the Bai family, Madam Bai's distant niece. If this cousin really enters the mansion, my sister-in-law's life will be difficult."
"Stop making alarmist remarks here! If Bai Feng really dares to take a concubine without my permission, I will turn the Bai family upside down and no one will have a good life!" Zhu was desperate.
Cui was also annoyed. "Why are you angry at me if you want to? You can't keep a close eye on your man and it's someone else's fault. You don't know what you're talking about! You deserve to be slept with by a maid!"
"Shut your stinky mouth!" Zhu rushed forward and slapped Cui.
Cui refused to stand it and fought back. The two women started to fight in front of Madam Zhu.
Zhu Yixuan received the news and rushed over just in time to see this scene. The blue veins on his forehead were throbbing and seemed like they could explode at any time.
"Stop it, all of you!" he roared.
As expected, Cui and Zhu both let go of their hands, but neither of them would give in to the other and they looked at each other as if they were an enemy.
Zhu Yixuan glared at Zhu Shi unhappily, "This is the Zhu family, not the Bai family. Is it appropriate for you, a married girl, to go home and beat your sister-in-law?"
Then he looked sternly at Cui, who looked like a madman, and was so angry that he almost fainted. "Go back and clean up before we talk again!"
"Hmph!" Cui left angrily with a group of people.
Zhu burst into tears, "Brother! You have to make the decision for me!"
Zhu Yixuan felt overwhelmed and suddenly thought of the gentle and lovely Ke Yunyun in the other garden. He became more and more disgusted with Zhu and Cui.
But Zhu was his sister after all, and even though he was unhappy, he still patiently comforted her before slowly saying, "Choose two good-looking maids from our house and bring them back to show them off.
Make sure they get pregnant as soon as possible. With me here, the Bai family won't dare to do anything to you. Bai Feng and your mother-in-law will have to find a way to comfort you. You can still live your life willfully and domineeringly, understand?"
Zhu met Zhu Yixuan's eyes that did not allow for questioning, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand!"
The farce ended with Zhu Yixuan's thundering means, and Bai Feng turned a disaster into a blessing and took in two beautiful concubines that satisfied the two rooms.
The frustration brought to him by the brown sugar business was also greatly relieved, and he didn't even have the time to pursue it.
Although Zhu was reluctant in her heart, after being brainwashed by Mrs. Zhu, she realized that the current situation was in her best interest.
Only Mrs. Bai was unhappy.
Originally, she had chosen two suitable girls for her son, one was her distant cousin, and the other was a beautiful woman found by Nanny Li.
As a result, neither of them is of any use now, and she still has to give money to appease them. What kind of thing is this!
Nanny Li was also very depressed, but since even her master was helpless, what else could she do?
In the villa in Yong'an Lane.
Wan has been paying close attention to the rumors in Bai Mansion ever since they spread.
Seeing that only the Bai family's business was slightly affected and nothing else happened, he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Su Chunsen has always been unwilling to believe that his daughter-in-law is cheating on his son. He has been unwilling to communicate in the past few days, and even when he looks at Su Chuan, there is deep guilt in his eyes.
Su Chuan was busy keeping an eye on the news outside and had no time to comfort Su Chunsen.
Only after finding out everything about the Bai family did he decide to have a good talk with Su Chunsen.
"Dad, I just heard while I was shopping outside that Zhu beat Cuilan half to death, and then had a doctor revive her. She was then sold to a brothel."
Su Chunsen looked at Su Chuan and saw that he looked indifferent, as if he was talking about an insignificant stranger. His heart tightened, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something several times, and finally sighed, "I have been with the master for these years, and I have always felt that the master is wise and kind, and is a master who is destined to be my master.
I didn't expect that the eldest young master would be such a bastard with all appearance and no substance. The master has only this one legitimate son, and the eldest young lady has been childless for many years. I don't believe that the master doesn't know about Cuilan's affairs.
It turns out that they know everything. We, the people who serve them, are nothing in their eyes. They use us as they please and abandon us as they please!"
