Jiapingguan Chronicle

"What have they done to make you make such a comment?"

"Although you can't speak ill of your elders, what they did was indeed very excessive." Zhou Zui's mother looked at the people in front of her, "The adults also saw the woman just now and said she was my husband-in-law's subordinate."

"Yes!" Merlin nodded, "Didn't you just say that she is the one who helps your husband-in-law handle things? Isn't that right?"

"Yes, but she was sent to my husband-in-law by his grandfather, and she was the one who kept an eye on us after we got married. At that time, his grandfather was still alive. Although he was a general, he had nothing to do at home. No, he is not qualified to speak. For example, after he removed his armor and returned to his fields, Commander Liu once recommended him to the Ministry of War and asked him to serve in Xijing City, but his grandfather messed him up."

"Why?" Hongye was puzzled, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"It's a very good thing for us. Coming from a border town by the sea, being able to serve as an official in Xijing City is a matter of honor for our ancestors. The whole town and the whole county are honored. But his grandfather I thought that once he went to Xijing City, he would be out of control and would not be obedient. Therefore, he tried every possible means to cause trouble in Marshal Liu's camp and in the county. No matter what he said, he could not make my husband leave home, even Don’t hesitate to harm yourself.”

"It's really too much!" Hong Yeyi frowned, "But, is your husband-in-law also in Xijing City now?"

"Yes, because the county, the state, and Marshal Liu all know my husband-in-law's character. On the surface, they agreed to my husband-in-law's grandfather's request, but in fact they wanted to wait for his death before transferring my husband-in-law."

"Oh, I think I heard someone from the Ministry of War say this. It was a pity for a commander of the Military and Horse Division. He should have had a better future, but he was dragged down by his family. They said that his elders did not agree with him coming to the West. When he was transferred to the capital, he yelled and made a fuss and threatened that whoever took his grandson away would die in front of him. Although Liu Shuai's mediation was behind him and he was eventually transferred to the capital, he was still killed by His Majesty. I’m tired of it, it can only be like this for the rest of my life.”

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded towards Shen Cha, proving that what she said was right.

"So that's what happened. It's a pity that Shen Zhonghe was tricked by his grandfather." Hongye sneered, "What happened after being stirred up? Didn't Shen Zhonghe resist at all?"

"It's useless. His grandfather didn't just do this. Although the girl came back with him, she didn't live at home, but stayed at an inn in the town. His grandfather found someone to go there. They harassed the shopkeeper of an inn, saying that if they kept that girl, they would be in trouble with the Shen family, and their family would no longer be able to purchase goods from the Shen family. As a result, the girl was kicked out of the inn. "

"Then where did she go?"

"I live in a small unused yard of my house. It was a dowry prepared by my mother for me. I have the right to deal with it. I can let whoever I want live there. Others have no right to comment."

"Shen Zhonghe's grandfather didn't come to trouble you?"

"I found it." Zhou Zhou's mother sneered, "I wanted to use my status as an elder to suppress me, but I didn't. I told him that this is my home, and whoever I want to live in can live there. Outsiders don't." Power interferes. Besides, Hui Niang is my sister, so she is naturally protected by me. Anyone who wants to bully her must first ask me if I will agree. He had no choice but to go to my family to complain, and my family did not If you like his domineering attitude, just ignore him.”

"Well done!" Hongye clapped his hands, "I thought your family didn't care much about you, otherwise they wouldn't agree to terminate your engagement. Unexpectedly, they still care about you very much." "The reaction from our family is actually not the same. No matter how intense it is, I just feel that if the engagement is annulled, I will lose face and lose face, and I may not be able to get married in the future. My grandfather once told me that if he knew that my father-in-law's grandfather had become like this, he would rather marry someone else. Even if Fazi repays his kindness, he will not arrange this marriage for me. But he couldn't defeat my husband-in-law's grandfather. At that time, my grandfather was held tightly by his grandfather, so he survived. As long as my grandfather disagreed with him even a little bit, His grandfather would very strongly accuse my grandfather of being ungrateful, saying that if he knew he was this kind of person, he would not have saved him back then."

"Isn't this a kind of emotional kidnapping?" Hongye rolled his eyes, "Shen Zhonghe's grandfather was simply unreasonable and extremely controlling. As long as others didn't listen to him, he would kill them. Live."

"Yes, so my husband-in-law asked him to terminate the engagement, and he almost beat him to death. If my husband-in-law hadn't really fought in the war, and if his old injuries hadn't suddenly occurred, would he have survived? They were really talking about each other. I saw my husband-in-law’s look at that time, and I truly understood what it means to be in danger of death.”

"How did his grandfather react? Indifferent or frightened?"

"He was frightened. He thought that this great grandson who made him so proud and could brag about it was really going to die. In order to prevent his glory from disappearing, he quickly went to invite the best person in town. My doctor diagnosed and treated my husband, and it took a lot of effort to save him."

"You have a bright face that you can brag about?" Merlin rolled his eyes. "It seems that you don't really love him. It's all because your eldest grandson has become a general, right?"

"That's what I mean." Zhou Niang nodded, "There are many families in our town who are like this. Their children are promising, and their daughters marry well, which can make them look good and give them something to brag about. of opportunity."

"This is the main reason why you are not allowed to break off your engagement, isn't it?"

"In addition to this, there is another point. That girl was an orphan of unknown origin, so they disliked her and never thought of letting her in."

"Did you two have to get married due to pressure from the elders in your family?"

"To be precise, it's about following the plan. We said that since we can't disobey, we will comply with their wishes and let nature take its course and give them what they want. However, we will make some slight adjustments during the execution process."

"Adjustment? What adjustments should be made?"

"My husband-in-law went to Marshal Liu and arranged for the wedding and bridal chamber to be held next to the camp. There are several small courtyards there for family members who come to visit relatives. We arranged the bridal chamber there. There are An unwritten rule is that at night, no outsiders who have not yet been registered are allowed. This means that my family and my father-in-law’s family, including his grandfather, must go home before dark. If they continue to stay there, If you do, you will be locked up."

"So, what did you do?"

"Substantiating the situation." Tuesday's mother raised her eyebrows slightly, "That night when the wedding ceremony was held, I was resting in another small courtyard."
