After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chu Yin immediately dismissed everyone waiting in the room and listened calmly.

Xue Wanwan was silent for a moment before saying: "My mother is used to being forbearing and keeps everything in her heart.

"My sister must have heard something about our family.

"Earlier, although my mother was from a scholarly family, her family background could not be compared with that of the Xue family.

"What's more, my father had a childhood sweetheart cousin who was a distant niece from my grandmother's side of the family. She was fostered in my house for several years.

"If there are no accidents, it is very likely that my father will get married to that cousin. For my grandmother, that is a good thing. Besides, her niece is also very popular with her.

"But it was such an accident that my father met my mother by chance. He fell in love with her at first sight and would not marry me except her.

“After a lot of setbacks, my father successfully married my mother.

"But my grandmother was extremely dissatisfied with my mother. My mother was not only weak, but also had a soft temper. She just tolerated it.

"I think if my mother hadn't become pregnant soon after she came here, my grandmother would have made things even more difficult for her.

"I heard that grandma also intends to let her niece be her father's equal wife and help her manage the house."

Xue Wanwan twitched the corners of her lips.

In fact, there is no such thing as "equal wife" in the Great Zhou Dynasty. From the emperor to the peddler and the pawn, there can only be one official wife.

Even if the first wife dies, or divorces or divorces for some reason, the status of the second wife is still inferior to that of the first wife.

The legitimate son of the original wife has a natural advantage in inheriting the family property.

A scholar-bureaucrat below the official wife can have two concubines, but a scholar-official below is not allowed to have concubines.There are good concubines and bad concubines. Good concubines are of pure origin and have a certain status in their husband's family. They cannot be bought or sold at will.

A concubine is a person of humble origin, equivalent to goods. If she is not welcomed by her husband's family, she can be sold at any time.

But as time went by, these rules gradually became looser, and even commoners had concubines.

The trend of wealthy businessmen marrying equal wives gradually spread, and even low-ranking officials also married equal wives.

Although she is an equal wife, she still has to perform the concubine ceremony in front of her head wife, and the children she produces cannot be compared with the legitimate children of the original wife. It just sounds nice to say it.

In other words, flat wife is just a title that deceives one's ears and steals the bell.

Xue Wanwan said: "That cousin was also a fierce person and refused. Because she felt embarrassed to stay, she left the Xue family."

However, Mrs. Xue stubbornly believed that Mrs. Xue could not tolerate it, so she drove away her beloved niece, and was even more rude to Mrs. Xue.

She even identified several girls on the day Mrs. Xue gave birth. She just waited for Mrs. Xue to give birth. If they were daughters, she would let her sons take concubines immediately.

Mrs. Xue got a man in one fell swoop, but Mrs. Xue had no legitimate excuse. In addition, Mr. Xue was still firm on the matter, so she failed.

But Mrs. Xue’s training with Mrs. Xue has remained the same for more than twenty years and has never changed.

Although Mr. Xue has always been kind to Mrs. Xue, he rarely goes into the inner house and is unwilling to intervene in the conflicts between his mother and his wife. In addition, Mrs. Xue has a tolerant temperament, so she has been confused for so many years.

Mother Xu was punished before, and Mrs. Xue gave up her housekeeping rights. Mrs. Xue was very happy for a while, feeling that she had finally made it through.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, the cousin Liu Rumei came to Xue Mansion again.

Liu Rumei is a young widow and has never given birth. She is well-maintained and looks more than ten years younger than her actual age. She can be said to be a "milf, but her charm is still there". (End of chapter)
