Chapter 178: Generosity and Tolerance
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked up in surprise.
The old lady thought that he had always refused to have a successor because he was still thinking about his mistress?
This was related to the time when Gao Ling invited him for a drink a while ago. When Gao Ling was drunk, she kept apologizing to him and said that she was doing it for his own good.
At that time, he was still wondering why Gao Ling apologized. Now it seems that Gao Ling must have sent a letter to Dijing in advance.
Before Shen Yu could speak, Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, expressed her opinion in a gentle voice.
"What Grandma meant is what I mean as well. As long as she comes from a clean family and can help the general to have children, she will be of great benefit to the general's mansion. I will definitely treat her well."
Zhao, who came from a noble family, spoke softly and looked dignified and beautiful.
Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked at her deeply.
If it were half a year ago, he would definitely be very satisfied with Zhao Shi like this.
She is able to manage the harem well and is tolerant of others. She is a satisfactory general's wife.
But now, when he looked at Zhao again, he felt a surge of sympathy in his heart.
What that eccentric woman once said.
"If a woman really cares about a man, she will never share him with other women."
"If she's willing to share a man with other women, she either doesn't care about him at all."
"Or, you have to swallow your anger and show magnanimity to please the people around you, to please this society that tramples women into the dust."
When she said these words, Shen Yu pinched her cheek fiercely and mocked her:
"Your theories are all fallacious. A woman's role as a wife, mother, and be generous and tolerant is something she should do willingly and naturally, isn't it?"
"It's only natural?"
Wen Wan kicked him in the calf. "Willingly? As a matter of course? According to you, when a couple gets along, whoever is more capable gets to have both wives and enjoy the happiness of having two women?"
She snorted coldly, "Then if one day I achieve greater achievements than you, can you tolerate me hugging other men and tell you not to be jealous, to be good brothers with other men, get along well with them, and be a generous man?"
Perhaps these words were too shocking to the world, Shen Yu was stunned for a long time when he heard them.
He imagined the scene of Wen Wan having physical contact with other men, his face darkened, and he only said one sentence in the end.
"Forget about physical contact. If you dare flirt with other men, I will break your neck."
So Wen Wan sneered and mocked him.
"Envy always makes people look bad. Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."
The impression I have of Wenwan is that she can always tear off the veil of this world with a sharp insight.
"Yu'er?"
Seeing that Shen Yu had not responded for a long time, the old lady called him several times with a cold face.
Shen Yu was startled for a moment, then he pulled back his wandering thoughts and came to his senses, facing the women in the main hall who were staring at him.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I appreciate Grandma's kindness, but she...she is no longer with her grandson. From now on..."
His throat rolled, and he finally said bitterly: "From now on, my grandson will never have anything to do with her again."

The sky is dotted with stars, and the fragmented light falls on the branches. When blown by the wind, it brings out a bizarre and strange scenery.
Wen Wanyang lay on the rattan chair under the tree and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the small table.
Chunniang, standing by, waved her round fan calmly. "Xiaowan, what do you think the general meant by that? What does it mean by 'she is no longer with her grandson'?"
The more Chunniang thought about it, the more confused she became. "Could it be that the girl left the general behind and ran away? He's the general, shouldn't the girls do everything they can to stay with him?"
Wen Wan threw the melon seed shells onto the empty plate. "Who knows? Maybe... she's an ambitious young woman with ideas and ideals?"
Chunniang didn't understand what an ambitious young woman meant, and she was used to Wenwan occasionally saying things she didn't understand.
Wen Wan asked again: "What happened next? Didn't you say that the prince also came over later?"
"Yes." Chunniang told her everything that happened in the main hall today. "He arrived just as the prince was about to start the banquet. After dinner, he called the general to his study to talk for a while. When the general came out, his face was full of displeasure, but he still went to the lady's courtyard."
Wen Wan nodded, "It's human nature. In this era, in this feudal family, continuing the family line is an issue that cannot be avoided."
Hearing this, Chunniang also responded. She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Today, the general will definitely stay in Madam's courtyard. Let me tell you, I also heard that Madam lit some incense in Madam's courtyard in advance to cheer her up, and also prepared some deer antler wine for the general."
"Oh?" Wen Wan sat up straight, her eyes gleaming with gossip. "Aphrodisiac incense and deer antler wine, haha... Then the general might not be able to get out of bed tonight..."
Seeing her laugh so loud, Chunniang immediately patted her with her round fan and said, "Keep your voice down. Be careful not to let the lady hear it. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble again."
Wen Wan then stopped laughing.
But deep down, she felt more and more sympathetic towards the men and women here.
The general and his wife were originally strangers, and the number of times they met could be counted on one hand.
Even though modern society is more open-minded, in ancient feudal society, doing embarrassing things that would make people blush as soon as they met someone was not something that could be easily accepted.
The clouds and fog dispersed, and a few more stars came out from behind the clouds.
Wen Wan looked up at the stars, but her mind was filled with the image of Achai.
Thinking of him one hundred and sixty-three times.
When will I be able to forget him completely?
She felt emotional in her heart, but did not show it on her face. After chatting with Chunniang for a few more words, they went back to their rooms to rest.
At night, for some reason, Wen Wan couldn't sleep well.
She had a nightmare whose details she couldn't remember. When she struggled awake, she saw that the window had been blown open by the wind at some point.
She stood up to close the window. Just as her fingers grasped the window frame, she raised her eyes and suddenly saw a dark shadow appear on the roof opposite.
It’s the middle of the night, how many people are you going to scare to death?
"Fuck!"
Wen Wan took a deep breath and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of Chinese quintessence.
Her panic lasted only two seconds before she quickly calmed down, opened her eyes wide, and tried to take a closer look at the dark shadow on the roof opposite.
But it was pitch black and the distance was far, so she couldn't see clearly no matter how hard she tried. She could only barely make out that it was probably a living person.
The man seemed to be holding a jar of wine in his hand, and he tilted his head back and started drinking with a very heroic movement.
Anyone who dares to sit on the roof of the general's mansion and drink can't be an ordinary thief, right?
Could it be someone from the border town garrison?
When I think of the border town defenders, I think of Achai.
Wen Wan pursed her lips and stared at the man eagerly. Deep in her heart, she felt an urge to ask that man something.
Is A Chai here?
