Chapter 340 Wife And Concubine

In the Elder Zheng residence, a family was discussing important matters in the study. Unlike other families, Madam Zheng was at the top of the table, and the Zheng Family had the right to participate in discussions, whether it was their grandchildren, daughters-in-law or granddaughter-in-law.

Elder Zheng was a member of the Yan Country from three dynasties. He was one of the conspirators who had participated in the usurpation of the throne. Ji Xun's father did not know Elder Zheng's true face until he died.

"Mother, the Tianlan's million-strong army attacked the Tianlan. Now, with the help of the Tianlan to prepare for a counterattack, there will inevitably be a fierce battle between the two countries. My son thought it was time to persuade the emperor to expand the country. Those ji royal families are already eager to support themselves. We can use this opportunity to get them to lead the troops to attack the Tianlan, regardless of whether we win or lose." Elder Zheng stroked his beard and said with a gloomy face.

"Do you think those people will listen to that trash Yun Wansheng?" Madam Zheng shot a knife at Elder Zheng. She was over 80 years old and had a not-so-obvious scar on her face, but it ran through her left face. It was obvious that there was a story.

Elder Zheng was stunned for a moment and sighed, "This is a mistake of his son. If he knew that yun wansheng would be such a waste, he should have supported that person in the first place, but now it has delayed ru' er's life and caused his grandson's identity to be dishonest. He is the most qualified to inherit the throne."

"Is there any use in saying this now? It will only make you look incompetent. You were the ones who insisted on choosing Yun Wansheng, and your words told me how advantageous it was to choose Yun Wansheng and to control the situation more quickly. But now more than ten years have passed, not only has a Ji Xun who claimed to be the crown prince of the former dynasty stirred up the hearts of the people and the army, but he has also received the support of several ji royal families. Instead, your grandson, whom you trained with all your heart, can't even find the position of the crown prince. With the title of concubine of love, what else could ru er do to benefit the great cause besides being jealous in the harem?" Mrs. Zheng snorted and reprimanded Elder Zheng with a sharp voice, asking Mr. And Mrs. Elder Zheng to lower their heads.

It was their selfish choice to choose Yun Wansheng. They felt that it would be better for them to control power and keep Zheng Xiuru in good graces. Even if his grandson ascended to the throne, he would need to rely on them. How could he have planned for so long to be defeated by Yun Wansheng, who was a good-for-nothing?

Madam Zheng did not want to talk too much about the past, but now he could only change his plan and find another path.

"Your suggestion just now is not unreasonable, but this matter requires a reason that the kings cannot refuse. The people say that Ji Xun is still alive, don't they? Then you can make good use of this Ji Xun name and use it to attack the Tianlan under his banner. Whether you win or lose in the future is a matter of labor and wealth. Let's see what he wants." Madam Zheng said with a fierce face.

"Yes, my son knows." Elder Zheng hurriedly replied.

Without looking at his only son, Madam Zheng looked over to Zheng Xusheng and his wife. Seeing that the couple had lost their usual loving appearance, he frowned, "I heard that xuer has taken a fancy to a woman and is a good candidate for martial arts training. Although our Zheng Family does not like concubines, it is not a problem to bring a woman back for the sake of a great cause. As xuer's wife, you should know that xuer will not be able to live with only one woman in the future. Now that you have a sister to share with, you can concentrate on your body. The descendants of the Zheng Family have a clear line of descent. I don't want to see xuer's eldest son being a concubine."

Madam Zheng's words made the wives of the Zheng Family stiffen. Anyone who marries a pair of people to the Zheng Family for the rest of their lives, even willing to take the risk of conspiring with them to usurp the country, would not like to see their husbands shared with other women.

Zheng Xusheng's wife, in particular, was pale and biting her thin lips. Having been married for three years was the most unsettling part of her life, but how could she allow herself to be the first person in the Zheng Family to take a concubine for her husband?

But the meaning of Mrs. Zheng's words was obvious, it was to hasten the birth. If she could not bear it, she would have to make room for those who could bear children. It was the greatest humiliation for women to demote their wives to concubines. But the secret of the Zheng Family did not allow them to divorce their wives. If they did not obey, they would have to die.

Clenching her fists tightly and holding back the tears that were about to fall from humiliation and cold, Zheng Xusheng's wife nodded and said in a trembling voice, "The granddaughter-in-law knows."

Madam Zheng didn't care if she was willing or not when she got a response. She turned to look at Zheng Xusheng, who had an odd look on his face, and said, Xuer, you are the eldest son and grandson of the Zheng Family. Logically, everything in the Zheng Family should be handed over to you sooner or later. But when you were young, you were naughty and hurt your valve, and you couldn't practice martial arts. If your child can't follow the Zheng Family's family rules, All the glory and glory of the Zheng Family in the future can only be given to your brother. Even though he was only three years old and still not qualified, The family will still give him all the best resources to nurture him. Grandma will give you three years at most, so don't let her down."

Between the wife and the future, Zheng Xusheng made a decision without any choice. She stood up and saluted Madam Zheng, saying, "Grandma, it's not that your grandson wants to be the head of the family or that your grandson doesn't want to have children. It's just that after three years of marriage, it may still be fate. The woman that my grandson likes is a bit heroic, but she can't get married in her filial piety period now, and their family is also from all over the world, and their family is rich in assets. Her brother blocked my grandson's request for marriage several times. Only the daughter of the ji family would rather die than be a concubine, and my grandson has dragged it to this day."

"In that case, this marriage is worth getting married. Since they don't want to be concubines, they should be equal wives. It's not impossible for a man to be upright in one fell swoop." Madam Zheng squinted at his granddaughter-in-law and saw that her body was trembling so violently that he was even more displeased, "If their siblings' identities have been ascertained, your father will be asked to ask for a marriage tomorrow. Although it is unreasonable to get married during the filial period, we, the Zheng Family, can offer money to make a grand gesture for their parents. The deceased can rest in peace, and they have no reason to refuse. Remember, try not to turn a good marriage into a feud, or your eldest brother will consider giving all his family business to your second wife."

Madam Zheng's words were very serious. No one knew whether the second wife of the third generation of Zheng Family was secretly happy in her heart, but the people in the eldest room all looked at the eldest daughter-in-law resentfully, thinking that it was because of her lack of spirit that this situation would happen.

"The matters after the marriage will be left to the eldest daughter-in-law to do, and the rest will work together to do the things discussed before. We must attack the Tianlan within half a year. If we fail to complete the mission, we should not say that we are descendants of the Zheng Family. In the future, we are not allowed to use the kung fu of the Tianlan, lest we lose our face." After saying this, Madam Zheng left with his confidant, unable to tell from his light steps that he was an octogenarian.

After Madam Zheng left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Elder Zheng straightened his chest and said in a long voice, "Everyone knows what to do. Go back tonight and prepare for it. The old lady at the court will make arrangements for you. Let's all leave tomorrow."

The two generations of the second wife bowed their brows and followed their purpose. However, seeing that the second wife was thriving and the children were stronger than their own bodies, the people in the first room inevitably had scruples in their hearts. Looking at the complicated expressions of their children and grandchildren, Elder Zheng could only sigh. They were all his descendants. How could he favor anyone?
