The process of Madam He's substitute marriage was similar to that of Aunt Chun's.
This is also why, aside from Aunt Chun's skill in bed, Lord He was able to accept this matter so quickly—it was purely because he had already had experience with it!
"The wives and concubines all came into the family by taking a place in the marriage. Now the daughter wants to take a place in the marriage. Does Lord He have some kind of special constitution?"
"Does the He family really intend to pass down the tradition of substitute marriage from generation to generation?" Yue Fuguang couldn't help but tease.
She didn't know who had moved the screen that was in the way of their table, but now, with such a good view, she could openly peek at Lord He's table.
Faced with the scrutiny of His Majesty and his colleagues, Lord He Hongguang was so embarrassed he could practically dig a two-courtyard house out of his toes.
In order to avoid being exposed in Yue Fuguang's eyes, he had to pretend to be chatting normally with his colleagues, unaware that his family scandal had been exposed. He was completely unaware!
The person he was chatting with was none other than Liu Mingqi, the father of the great traitor Liu Hong. These two had almost become in-laws, and now, as they looked at each other, they were extremely embarrassed.
"Little Pearl, is that Liu Hong's father, Lord Liu Mingqi, the one chatting with Lord He?"
[Master, is that Lord Liu? Are they discussing the marriage between our two families' children?]
"Lord Liu doesn't look too good, and he didn't give Lord He a friendly look either. Does this mean the marriage between the two families is off?"
[No way, according to the original timeline, because of Aunt Chun's track record, although Madam He was prepared, she was still outmaneuvered and Aunt Chun and her daughter took advantage of the situation. In the end, He Xiaodie successfully took her place in the marriage.]
Just like Lord He back then, Liu Hong was also well served by He Xiaodie using the bedroom techniques she learned from Aunt Chun.
Even after learning the truth the next day, she resolutely accepted He Xiaodie despite her parents' objections.
He then lived a shameless life, and due to excessive indulgence, he died a few years later.
Liu Mingqi's face darkened as he glared angrily at He Hongguang.
Madam Liu had already begun to secretly wipe away her tears, feeling both heartache for her youngest son and resentment towards him for his lack of self-control, which had harmed her.
The fact that his son died on a woman's stomach could no longer be hidden, and his future marriage prospects...
Thinking of this, Mrs. He's tears flowed even more profusely!
"What happened to Miss He afterward? Her marriage was stolen, so her reputation must have been affected to some extent, even though she was the victim."
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Miss He must have had some problems herself, at the very least, some problems with her abilities, because she was able to be robbed of a good marriage by a concubine's daughter with no power or status.
The victim-blaming argument has been prevalent throughout history.
[Later, Miss He married one of Lord He's disciples. Although their lives weren't wealthy, they managed to get by. After the fall of the Dayan Kingdom, she faced hardship, moving from place to place and supporting her family by making handicrafts.]
"Doing handicrafts, like embroidery?"
I remember that women in ancient times were incredibly skilled at needlework, unlike in modern times, where some people might prick their hands while sewing a button.
It wasn't about making embroidery. Back then, there was war everywhere, and many people couldn't even get enough to eat. Who would have the leisure to buy embroidery to adorn themselves?
To avoid being caught by bandits and soldiers, many women deliberately dressed themselves up to look ugly, fearing they would be captured and abused.
After all, at that time, soldiers and bandits were indistinguishable. Today's soldier could be tomorrow's bandit, and today's bandit could occupy territory and tomorrow's soldier could be transformed into a soldier.
To satisfy their lust, they were beasts of a chaotic world who spared no one, from elderly women in their forties and fifties to little girls as young as a few years old.
Human life is as worthless as grass; the person sleeping today might be in the pot tomorrow.
vomit!
vomit!
Some people couldn't help but start gagging.
Hearing this, many of the ladies and young women who had heard the heartfelt words felt a chill run down their spines and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their hands gripping their handkerchiefs so tightly they almost dug into their flesh.
If they lived in such a chaotic world, they would rather die before the Dayan Kingdom was destroyed, so that they could at least have a complete corpse.
No, I must go back and urge my husband/father to serve His Majesty well. We must make Dayan stronger and stronger, and we must never allow such a tragedy as the destruction of a country to occur.
Otherwise, these women, to preserve their innocence, would surely have ended their own lives before the country was destroyed!
The adults felt a chill run down their spines, as if more than one small leather whip was about to lash them, and they felt as if they were about to become donkeys pulling a millstone and oxen plowing the fields!
He receives encouragement from his wife and daughters, who are more concerned about his political affairs than they are about their own.
When Emperor Mingxi and his ministers heard about the lives of ordinary people in the chaotic world for more than three hundred years after the fall of the Dayan Kingdom, they felt their scalps tingle.
If the future is truly as the Divine Artifact Master described, with people constantly dying, how many people will still be left after more than three hundred years?
They realized once again that in such chaotic times, even a daughter of an official family like the eldest daughter of the He family had to make a living by doing handicrafts. One could only imagine how terrible the lives of their descendants would be.
I have once again come to a profound realization that the possibility of their bloodline not being able to be passed down at all is very likely to come true.
Just two days ago, Lord Wu Yuanjing was born with a big, fat grandson. Suddenly, he couldn't sit still. No, the Great Yan cannot perish. His grandson's days of wealth and honor haven't even lasted a few years yet. How can the country be destroyed?
Is it so easy to be a slave to a conquered nation?
Ten-year-old children are nothing more than food for those who kill!
Lord Wu looked anxiously at His Majesty, whose face was heavy, and the Crown Prince, whose face was also not good. These two cannot die. If they die, what will happen to his grandson's life of wealth and honor?
