The uncle on the other side didn't say anything, and finally the grandmother sighed softly.
Zhu Sang didn't quite understand this at the time. He just thought that his uncle was very brave for daring to go against his grandmother's request.
My grandmother has the final say in her family.
Or maybe, because my uncle was my grandmother's eldest son and had been raised by her for many years, she was especially tolerant towards him.
Later, Zhu Sang got married. Her uncle cried the most sadly and gave himself a few more dowries. He also said that if he was unhappy, he should tell his uncle.
Zhu Sang said this with a smile, but he disagreed in his heart.
Fan Qingli was the husband candidate chosen by her mother. Everyone praised him as her ideal husband, and he was also the man she loved.
But her uncle probably couldn't bear to leave her, so when she got married in the future, she wanted to go visit him. She even thought further, that if she had children, she could ask her uncle to come and teach them in the name of the children's education.
My uncle is a famous scholar of the time and also half her teacher, so no one would refuse him.
However, she was soon slapped in the face. After she married into the Duke's Mansion, her mother-in-law decided to take a concubine because she had no children for two years.
Her husband did not refuse much. Zhu Sang once went to her mother's home to cry and complain. It was the first time that her mother looked at her with strange eyes.
"Sangsang, mother dotes on you too much. You have been childless for two years, so you should take the initiative to ask your husband to take a concubine. How can you let mother-in-law speak first?"
Zhu Sang was shocked: "But my husband promised that he would never have other intentions, and my daughter also consulted the doctor, who said that I am in good health and just need to let nature take its course."
"As the mistress, you don't need to worry about the concubines. They are all shameful and you can't get ahead of them." Her mother interrupted her and said sternly, "Sangsang, as the eldest sister, you should set an example and don't make a big fuss in your husband's family. Otherwise, you will ruin the reputation of the Zhu family girl and you will be a sinner."
Zhu Sang's tears started to fall immediately.
"Yes, mother, Sangsang knows he was wrong."
She watched her mother reprimand her with a serious expression for the first time, and couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong.
She had run into a rebuff at her parents' home, and that day she packed up and prepared to go home.
When she went to Zhu Sang's house, her uncle saw that she was in a daze and asked her a few questions. After hearing what Zhu Sang said, he became furious.
"This boy is nothing special. Uncle will go to the Duke's Mansion with you."
After that, with the intervention of my uncle, my husband finally gave up the idea of taking a concubine, but he became much colder to me.
Once there is a gap between the two, it is difficult to repair. I don’t know when it started, but Zhu Sang became silent from the beginning when she used to talk to her husband.
She became like her mother, staying in her room except at dusk or dawn.
At some point, my mother-in-law brought the daughter of a distant relative. My husband called her cousin and often went to her Yuanxiang Pavilion and did not come back all night.
"Husband, you went to your cousin's room last night and didn't come back all night." She finally couldn't help asking.
The husband looked a little impatient: "Didn't I not take a concubine? What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Zhu Sang's eyes became dull and finally lost their original spirit.
A few days later, she was retching and weak, so she asked a doctor to take her pulse.
"Congratulations, ma'am. You have a slippery pulse and you are more than two months pregnant."
