In the middle of the day, in Tonghua Courtyard, Zhao Wanrong rested late and got up late. The husband did not return all night, and he was nowhere to be seen in the morning, so when he got up, he went to the west courtyard to inquire.

After a while, the people who had been sent came back, and they couldn't say why.

"A group of useless people, usually all of them are articulate, and their tongues are knotted at a critical moment!" Zhao Wanrong was worried about her husband, and the subordinates couldn't speak clearly, so after getting dressed, she planned to go to the West Courtyard in person.

In fact, I can't tell where the tongue is knotted, and I don't dare to say it at all!

The matter between Zhang Shuyan and He Chunhua, the West Courtyard has already made a lot of noise, I believe that it will not be long before the East Courtyard will be known to everyone, and sooner or later it will reach the ears of the eldest aunt and grandmother, why bother to touch the mold early in the morning? At that time, it is strange that the aunt and grandmother are not allowed to get angry!

After hastily finishing breakfast, before Zhao Wanrong could look for it, Zhang Shuyan, who had not returned all night, came back.

In the morning, the West Courtyard heard about it, and the maid in the house spread ten, ten and hundred, and they all knew about it, and when they saw the eldest aunt coming back, they quietly retreated, leaving the house of Nuoda to Zhao Wanrong and his wife, believing that they would have a lot to say.

"Why don't you send someone to say if you don't come back? I was worried for half a night. Zhao Wanrong complained, glancing at her husband angrily.

"Oh, I had a great conversation with my second uncle last night, and I drank a few more glasses......" Zhang Shuyan said lightly, his thoughts were racing in his mind, thinking about how to talk to Zhao Wanrong so that she could agree to the concubine without destroying the relationship between the husband and wife.

"Not next time." Zhao Wanrong said with a smile, stepped forward and pulled her husband to sit down, and said with concern: "You have a bad stomach and hurt your body by drinking, next time the second uncle will look for you again." If you can push it, push it, have you had breakfast? ”

His wife has always been gentle and virtuous, there is no doubt about it, Zhang Shuyan's heart was warm, and a strong sense of guilt rose to his heart, and the words that had been brewing for a long time could not be said for a long time.

A wife and a wife. Zhao Wanrong is really impeccable. But there are no heirs so far, this is Zhao Wanrong's fatal injury, and unfilial piety is greater. If the second elder of the Zhang family wants to abandon Zhao Wanrong on the grounds that he has no children, Zhang Shuyan will be helpless.

Seeing her husband staring at her stunned, Zhao Wanrong couldn't help but smile and gently pushed him. He said angrily: "What about asking you, what." Something on my face? ”

Zhang Shuyan woke up from his fluttering thoughts, shook his head, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Wanrong." I want to discuss something with you, but you listen, don't worry. Don't be upset either. ”

The husband rarely spoke to him in such a tone, and Zhao Wanrong smiled. Zhengse said: "You say, I listen." ”

Sooner or later, I have to say, sooner or later, Zhang Shuyan swallowed. Spit, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, told Zhao Wanrong what happened in the morning, and at the end, added: "Chunhua is a good girl, but I can't stand her, so I ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Shuyan raised his head and quietly observed Zhao Wanrong, and saw that her face was getting deeper and deeper, and he couldn't say any more.

"So, you want to take a concubine?" Zhao Wanrong took his unfinished words and asked coldly, the whole person seemed to be a sharp sword out of the sheath, sharp and domineering.

Under his wife's powerful aura, Zhang Shuyan felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, and said in a low voice: "Chunhua is a good girl, and she is the sister-in-law of the second uncle, I am afraid that being a concubine will wronged her, I want to ......"

If you are not a concubine, you are a flat wife.

"Zhang Shuyan!" Zhao Wanrong suddenly raised her voice and interrupted his whimsical words, "My second aunt is an only daughter, there is no sister-in-law, and my second uncle has no sister-in-law!" What is the identity of the third aunt? Huā money to buy back the concubine! The only difference with the slave is that she doesn't have to work, what is her sister, she can't be a third-class maid, you still want her to be a flat wife? You are not afraid that the faces of the ancestors of the Zhang family will be lost by you! ”

Zhao Wanrong has an extreme temperament, too gentle when she is gentle, and similarly, when she is tough, she will be aggressive, and she will not leave room for relaxation for others.

"Enough!" Zhang Shuyan slapped the table suddenly, with a cold face, and refuted loudly: "The ancestors of my Zhang family are not afraid of losing face, they are afraid of being the last!" ”

In a short sentence, Zhao Wanrong can be beaten into the bottomless abyss.

She stared at her husband's side face that was red from excess, she couldn't believe her ears, and asked in a low voice: "When you got married, you promised me that I would never take a concubine, and I forgot it so quickly?" Am I alone responsible for not being able to have children? Don't you have a responsibility? ”

Because of the child's affairs, the husband and wife have long been estranged, and they can be safe and sound without mentioning each other, and once they pierced the window paper, they attacked each other's weakest link, which hurt their feelings the most.

"I promised you, but the ancestors of my Zhang family didn't promise you! If you have the ability, give me a son, and I thank you on behalf of the eight generations of the Zhang family! Zhang Shu's romance was too excited, and he blushed and had a thick neck.

Childlessness is not only Zhao Wanrong's weakness, but also his weakness, over the years, he doesn't know how many times he has been ridiculed openly and secretly!

And for a normal man, you can call him stupid, call him stupid, but you can't say that he is incompetent, as long as he still has a breath, it will never be tolerated.

"I've settled on this concubine, it's best if you agree, it's useless if you don't agree!" Zhang Shuyan made the final decision, and after speaking, he went out angrily.

Zhao Wanrong was stunned, rushed back to the inner room, slammed the door, threw herself on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her head, and cried out.

has been married for several years, and this is not the first time the husband and wife have quarreled, but it is the only time Zhang Shuyan has been fierce to her, and the child has become the fuse of all the conflicts between the husband and wife.

After going out of Tonghua Courtyard, Zhang Shuyan went directly to the stable, rode a fast horse home, and planned to tell his parents about the concubine.

In the morning, when the matter was finalized, the second master pulled his niece and son-in-law aside and specially told him that it was better to take a concubine sooner rather than later.

Zhang Shuyan was puzzled, so he asked his uncle what the reason was.

The second master said that the daughter of the He family was good to give birth to, and as soon as the third aunt entered the door, she won the bid in one fell swoop, and the eldest daughter fell to the ground after October.

This is great news for Zhang Shuyan, who urgently needs a child to prove that he is a normal man, and then looking at He Chunhua, he feels that she is pregnant with her own flesh and blood, therefore, Zhang Shuyan has the idea of letting He Chunhua be a flat wife, and he can't wait to go to Zhao Wanrong, and the two husband and wife disagree and fall out.

The people in the second room deliberately targeted the big house, so they were not afraid to expand the matter, and in less than half a day, the Zhao family knew about it, and Grandma Song was naturally no exception.

In the afternoon, I ordered someone to make a few light side dishes to cool off the heat and personally delivered them to my daughter's house.

As a mother, she knows her children best, Zhao Wanrong has been arrogant since she was a child, and she never talks to anyone when she is wronged, she will only lock herself up and be sad alone.

"Alright, get up and get something to eat, don't suffocate yourself." Grandma Song put down the food box, walked to the bedside, and gently pushed Zhao Wanrong, who was covered in the quilt.

The body under the quilt squirmed, and Zhao Wanrong's voice was heard, "Mother, I have no appetite...... I'm fine, I just want to be alone. ”

The daughter's temperament is still so strong, everything is stuffed in her heart, almost the same as herself, Grandma Song couldn't help but smile bitterly, and lifted the quilt on Zhao Wanrong's body.

The afternoon sun is dazzling, shining through the diamond-shaped screen, and it is still very dazzling.

As if she was not used to the sudden light, Zhao Wanrong squinted her eyes and looked at her mother standing beside the bed in a daze.

Before the grandfather's filial piety period passed, Grandma Song was wearing a plain white and simple dress, and the beam of light that came in through the screen window hit her back, which seemed to coat her with a halo.

"Mother......" Zhao Wanrong was stunned and shouted indifferently.

Grandma Song sat back on the edge of the bed, reached out to pick up her daughter, let her lie in her arms, and patted her back to soothe her restlessness as she did when she was a child.

"Look at the point, think about how many concubines your father has accepted, they are all knives one by one, straight into the heart of the mother, the mother has suffering and can't speak, there is pain and can't be complained, and you have to accompany the smiling face, arrange a yard for them, assign people, and buy clothes and jewelry...... Over the years, hasn't my mother survived? ”

Zhao Wanrong's nose was sour, and she choked up: "But he promised me that he would never take a concubine......"

"Your father promised me back then, but what happened?" Grandma Song shook her head and sighed: "Wanrong, you have to look away, which man is not a man with three wives and four concubines?" This is just the beginning, if you can't think about it, the days of suffering in the future are still ahead, if you don't want to live with him, then don't talk about it......"

But that? As soon as these three words suddenly broke into her mind, Zhao Wanrong's whole person froze.

Over the years, Zhang Shuyan has treated her quite well, if it weren't for the fact that she has no children, there would be no estrangement between husband and wife at all, this time he said that he wanted to take a concubine, how heartbroken he was, all because he cared about him, and never thought of not living with him.

"Mother, what should I do then?" Zhao Wanrong raised her head and looked at her mother fixedly, hoping that she could help her come up with ideas.

Grandma Song smiled gently, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Not only can you not mess with him now, but you have to follow him ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Wanrong: "Impossible, what is He Chunhua, he can't read a basket of big characters, even if he wants to take a concubine, at least he must be a concubine of a big family." ”

"You're too young after all." Grandma Song looked at her daughter lovingly, and curled the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, "If you take a concubine, you have to accept a concubine like He Chunhua, who can't read big characters and doesn't understand the rules, this kind of woman will also play the role of inheriting the lineage." The father-in-law is not confused, can he still hand over his grandson to this kind of person with confidence? At that time, it will be recorded in your name that if you really find a well-informed concubine for Shuyan, and give birth to a boy and a woman in two years, your position as a master mother will be in jeopardy! ”

After being enlightened by her mother, Zhao Wanrong also opened up a lot, since taking a concubine is inevitable and can't be stopped, if she has a conflict with her husband again, wouldn't it just give people a chance?

After figuring it out, Zhao Wanrong began to pack up her things and took her subordinates back to her in-law's house before He Chunhua entered the door. (To be continued)
