Chapter 566 Remarrying after the death of one's wife is standard practice
By the time Li San Niang learned about Tang Li Jiao's situation again, almost half a month had passed.
Li San Niang only learned about Tang Li Jiao's later events from Liu Ruyi after Liu Ruyi, who was feeling unwell, came to her house for a medical consultation.
"Who would have thought that Jiaojiao, so young, would pass away like that?"
When my in-laws informed me of the death, I simply couldn't believe it.
If... if I had gone to visit my in-laws sooner, perhaps...
Li San Niang interrupted Liu Ruyi, saying, "Liu Niangzi, you must not think like that."
This is not your fault, my lady. Besides, you were pregnant at the time and were close to giving birth. You couldn't even take care of yourself, so how could you take care of others?
I told Madam Tang before that she was too fat to be saved.
My dear wife, please don't take it to heart anymore. Your body is already weak and deficient in qi and blood. If your mind and spirit are further damaged, how can you possibly recover?
"My dear wife, try to think more positively."
After her sharp rebuke, Liu Ruyi was at least able to pull herself out of her self-blame somewhat.
After writing the prescription, Li San Niang agreed to Liu Ruyi's request and sat down to chat with him.
"Giving birth is truly like passing through the gates of hell. Among my relatives, besides Jiaojiao, there is another cousin who died of postpartum hemorrhage after getting married many years ago."
The other sisters are all doing well, but those two are unlucky.
"Alas, why is being a mother so difficult?"
Li San Niang nodded, remaining silent and simply listening attentively.
"My second cousin from the Tang family has already ridden back to Jiangnan at full speed, and he should be out of the city gate by now."
Dr. Li, we're practically family now, and I know you're very tight-lipped.
You would never guess what Cousin Tang and the Yue family discussed.
Liu Ruyi lowered her voice and said softly to Li Sanniang, her face showing a sorrowful expression of sympathy for her kind.
"If my wife hadn't recognized Uncle Tang, a relative who came with my cousin Tang, and hadn't subtly inquired about the servants who were taking care of Uncle Tang, I wouldn't have known that they had reached such an agreement."
Li San Niang looked at Liu Ruyi, eager to know what kind of agreement made Liu Ruyi so concerned and saddened.
"They actually said they were going to send Tang's fifth cousin, who was born out of wedlock, to her husband's family to be a concubine!"
"What they said—that they should take good care of the child Jiao Jiao risked her life to give birth to, fearing that Yue Wenyuan's second wife wouldn't treat him well!"
Li San Niang showed no surprise whatsoever; this action was perfectly normal.
Having already lost one daughter, fortunately, she still has a child left behind. This child will become the remaining link between the Tang family in Jiangnan and the Yue family in Chang'an.
Thus, in order to ensure the child's healthy and safe growth, the marriage alliance between the Tang and Yue families was still established, and it was only natural that a daughter of a concubine from the Tang family would be given to the Yue family as a concubine.
Yue Wenyuan only took one more concubine, which didn't stop him from marrying another wife.
In modern society, if a wife dies in childbirth, it's considered good if she manages to leave behind a child. If there's no timely rescue, it can result in the death of both mother and child.
Since the dead cannot be brought back to life, the living must live well. Thus, it becomes natural for men to remarry.
If this man is responsible and can take on the responsibilities of being a father, he should live with his child.
But if the man doesn't want to do that, then a better option would probably push it to his parents, give them some money, and visit them occasionally, which would be considered quite good.
If you encounter a bad one, they might not give you a single penny and just hand it over to your parents.
These are all very common.
Therefore, it is certain that Yue Wenyuan will remarry.
After hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Li Sanniang really didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, Li Sanniang put down her teacup and looked at Liu Ruyi, who was too sad: "Liu Madam, you should try to think more positively."
We only live for a few short decades. If we try to understand everything, we'll only be creating trouble for ourselves.
My wife should think positively. Only with a mother can there be a caring father. A child with a mother is a treasure.
Therefore, we mothers should take good care of ourselves, live well, and live long enough to spend more time with our children.
Whether or not to have children is truly a major life event for a woman!
After all, this involves human lives.
It's not just about the child's life, but also about my own.
Therefore, if you want children, it has to be something you truly want in your heart. Never have children out of desperation or because you feel you are having a child for a man.
That's really exhausting!
You gave birth to this child for yourself; this child is your bloodline, your precious treasure.
Only in this way can we cope with the many hardships that we will suffer during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and even raising children.
However, there is another very important point: choosing a good father for your child.
For example, although Tang Lijiao has passed away, her children can grow up in her husband's family. While it cannot be guaranteed that they will live a life of wealth and luxury, they can at least grow up without worrying about food and clothing, which is much better than that of ordinary people.
In life, it's good to sometimes be a little oblivious.
If you have to fuss over everything, what fun is there in life?
Li San Niang comforted Liu Ruyi, left her a prescription, gave her a few more instructions, and then was seen off by the old woman.
Li San Niang naturally received a considerable amount of consultation fees and was taken back to the clinic by the Liu family's carriage.
As soon as Li San Niang entered the clinic, Nan Xing called her over. After she settled the accounts with Nan Xing, she was told that an old man was talking to Manager Gao in the inner room, saying that when Li San Niang returned, she would be called over directly.
Li San Niang was somewhat surprised. What was going on?
Returning to her place and putting down her medical kit, Li San Niang had Qiu Xiang check if she was fully recovered. Fortunately, she was fine, and then Li San Niang went into the inner room.
Upon reaching the door, she knocked, received a message, and then Li San Niang pushed the door open and entered.
Upon entering, one immediately saw an elderly man sitting opposite Manager Gao. His white beard and hair told everyone that the old man was quite old.
Respecting elders is the proper etiquette at this time, not to mention that Li San Niang, judging from the scene, guessed that the old man must be a doctor.
After bowing, Li Sanniang sat down and listened to Manager Gao's explanation. Only then did Li Sanniang understand why the old man had come to the medical hall.
It turns out that this old man is Dr. Sun, the gynecologist from the former Imperial Medical Academy, who was mentioned in the invitation sent by Madam Song of the Song family last time.
(Chapter 556 plot)
Because Dr. Sun failed to diagnose Song Zhenzhu's bicornuate uterus, which Li Sanniang had diagnosed as her condition, he became interested in Li Sanniang's skills.
"Please don't be offended, Dr. Li!"
I had hoped to get to know Doctor Li through Madam Song, but I suspect Madam Song found it inconvenient and did not intend to introduce us.
Therefore, I had no choice but to seek help from the Medical Alliance and learned that Physician Li was practicing at this clinic. I was really eager to know how Physician Li diagnosed Miss Song's illness, so I came here uninvited.
