Wei Heng sighed secretly and looked at his wife's haggard face.

After dinner, Jiang let her hair down. As the mother of two beauties, Wei Hanzhang and Wei Hanyue, Jiang was naturally good-looking.

Even though she is already in her thirties and has suffered a series of blows, her beauty has not diminished much. At this moment, under the light, she is as beautiful as jade, enough to dazzle people.

Jiang lay down again and advised softly, "I heard from Shen this morning that Cheng'er seems to be ill. Master, go and see him."

Wei Heng was silent for a while, then said, "Madam is also sick, I will accompany her."

…………

The couple lay quietly in bed. The room was pitch black. The moonlight in early summer was not very bright. Nothing could be seen in the darkness, which could also hide the emotions on their faces.

Jiang's breathing was steady and regular, but Wei Heng knew his wife was not asleep.

The doctor said that she was worrying too much and hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, which was not a sign of longevity.

Over the years, they had been lying on the same bed like this, treating each other with respect and not interfering with each other, but tonight, Wei Heng suddenly felt that he could no longer bear it.

He stretched out his arm and put it through the back of his wife's neck. With his other hand, he patted her back, gently patting her, which unconsciously turned into a gentle caress.

Then, he held her cheek with one hand and bent down to kiss her.

Jiang suddenly tilted her head, put her hand on his chest, and said in a surprised voice: "Master, the court doctor said a few days ago that I should not have sex now."

In the darkness, Wei Heng paused, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Okay."

His voice was hoarse with lust. Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but feel guilty: "But the concubines didn't serve you well enough? I'll ask someone to find some new ones tomorrow..."

"Madam, please stop worrying." Wei Heng gently stroked her thin back, feeling both sympathetic and angry. "Go to sleep."

The woman in his arms was so thin. She had quickly become thinner in less than a year after their eldest daughter had the accident.

But Wei Heng still remembers how his wife looked when he first met her.

The eldest daughter of the Zhongshu Ling family was very famous in the capital. When his mother wanted to propose marriage for him, they had never met each other.

Until the marriage was settled and they became an engaged couple, he visited her and invited her to go out.

At that time, she was still a bright and beautiful girl, standing under the blooming apricot tree, smiling at him gently and peacefully.

At that moment, he felt as if something was bursting out of his chest, but he thought it was just normal.

He had a maid who had been with him since childhood, and she was brought into his room early on. She claimed that she had experienced the taste of love and did not take this momentary impulse to heart.

After the marriage, she really lived up to her reputation, being dignified, gentle and virtuous. Less than a month after the marriage, she took his maid as a concubine. He did not refuse. What was he thinking at that time?

Oh, he was thinking, his mother really had good taste, the wife she chose for him was both virtuous and beautiful, which was really satisfying.

Half a year after the marriage, she took in two concubines again. The wife and three concubines lived in peace and harmony in the back house. This time, even his mother praised her for being virtuous and gentle, and for her ability to manage the household.

But he began to feel uncomfortable.

She was so virtuous that whenever he stayed in her room for more than three days, she would persuade him to go somewhere else.

He wanted to be closer to her, but he couldn't find a way. In bed, she had never indulged in it once. Every time he was so excited that he forgot himself, he vaguely saw her unbearable look, and he panicked and didn't know what to do, thinking he had hurt her.

But during that period, although she was virtuous to the point of being a little cold, the couple could be described as living in harmony, and they had all the love that young couples should have.

Later, they had their eldest daughter, and their relationship became even more harmonious and beautiful. Those were the happiest days of their married life.

Later, with the help of his father, he was sent to Xuanzhou to serve as an official so that he could gain some qualifications before returning to the court.

Her daughter was still young and she needed to stay and be taken care of, so the couple had to live apart.

She wanted to arrange for two concubines to accompany him, but after being rejected, she thought that he was tired of the concubines at home, so she replaced them with two beautiful maids.

For some unknown reason, he even left the two beautiful maids alone, but he was obsessed with his wife who was far away and became sick with longing for her.

Until one day, when he was gathering with his colleagues, he was drunk and saw the daughter of a subordinate who came to pour wine. He could actually see the figure of his wife and stared at her.

When he sobered up, Shen was already lying naked beside him, and they performed the rituals of husband and wife.

Shen was not a maid. Her father was an official and she came from an official family. He had to be responsible for her.

This was the only concubine he took on his own initiative in his twenty years of marriage.

In fact, he only touched her that one time, and with his mind in a state of confusion, he even forgot to give Shen the contraceptive soup.

Shen was pregnant, and he felt uneasy for the first time.

It was also at that time that he began to face his feelings and found it not difficult to accept that he loved his wife.

He took Shen as his concubine but did not write a letter to inform his family. When he brought her back to the capital, the concubine was already in his arms.

She was gentle and generous, still as virtuous as ever. She performed the ceremony of taking a concubine for Shen and drank the tea that Shen offered her with a smile.

He felt both sour and relieved.

That night, he wanted to relieve his lovesickness and have sex with her, but was rejected gently, saying that Shen had just arrived in the capital and had no one to rely on, so she must be feeling uneasy and was waiting for him in the room.

Everything is different now.

The little love they had to begin with disappeared when Shen entered the house carrying the child.

In the days that followed, she refused his heartfelt communication, and whenever he tried to get closer to her, she would persuade him to go to the concubine's room.

Over the years, she had taken many concubines for him, some of whom he couldn't even remember their names.

She had chosen her concubines very carefully. All of them were beautiful, with smooth skin and in their prime years. When she was angry, she had intentionally favored a few of them, and had pampered them to the point of becoming arrogant, but she would then send them away with a smile.

She thought he was fickle and would often send a few away and then look for a few more delicate ones.

Not angry at all.

She didn't mind at all who he favored.

When she gave birth to Pei'er, she was injured and feared that she would have difficulty getting pregnant, so she generously withdrew the contraceptive soup from her concubines.

She didn't mind that Shen gave birth to two sons in succession. She was kind and tolerant to her concubines, and used both kindness and strictness. She was a mistress of the house who could not be faulted.

In fact, she became more and more impatient with him touching her. She had endured it for the sake of having children. Now that there was no hope of having children, she naturally didn't want to have anything to do with him.

But he wants it!

In the dark night, Wei Heng hugged his wife's sleeping body and passed his warmth to her. He wanted to hold her like this every night and wanted her.

I want this body that has been wasted away by multiple childbirths, illness, and aging.

Even though her skin was no longer as delicate as it was when she was young, it still made him feel lustful.

Wei Heng didn't know when he started to think, what would happen if he didn't agree when she wanted to take her first concubine after marriage? Or would it be more appropriate for him to send her away before she got married?

Even...if he hadn't...
