Chapter 289 Being a Woman is Difficult, Being a Regular Wife is Even Difficult
Love is a matter between two people. If the man is empathetic and no longer loves the woman, he can be called a "scumbag" if his nature is bad. At most, the man will be condemned on a moral level.

But marriage is different. Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a small family derived from the combination of two families, the man and the woman. Therefore, both parties in the marriage must be responsible for themselves and their families.

Love is not protected by law, but marriage is protected by law. If either party violates the "Marriage Law" and cheats, he will have to pay a price. Once a de facto marriage is formed with a mistress, the wife can sue her husband for bigamy and make the man bear criminal responsibility.

Although ancient times are different from modern times, the modern "Marriage Law" cannot be used in ancient times, but men are not allowed to do whatever they want.

In ancient times, there was a system of monogamy and multiple concubines. Although Nu Dahai now has a wife, son and family, and wants to marry a woman as a concubine, it is not a big deal, after all, taking concubines is legal.

But the problem is that Xinyue is the princess, and it represents not an individual, but the entire royal family. It is absolutely impossible for someone to be a concubine, otherwise, where will the royal face be put?
But if he married as a regular wife, it would violate the principle of monogamy, unless Nu Dahai divorced his original wife, Yanji, and married Xinyue as his wife, but this would not work at all.

Because in ancient times, although it was a patriarchal society, the marriage system was also protected by law, and the law protected the rights and interests of regular wives.

In ancient times, men had seven ways to divorce and abandon their wives as a killer, but couples can also use "three not to go" as a counterattack.

The so-called "three not to go" are the three reasons for not divorcing a wife.

One is to marry but not to return: refers to the family of the wife is scattered, and if the wife is divorced, she will be homeless.

The second is the mourning for the third year of Yugeng: it refers to the wife who mourns for her husband’s parents for three years and fulfills her filial piety.

The third is poor and humble before rich and noble: refers to the husband who was poor and humble when he married his wife, but later became rich and noble, that is, "a wife of dross will not go to court".

When Nu Dahai was young, he was a poor boy with nothing. Yanji used her youth to accompany him for more than 20 years, taking care of the family, raising children, and caring for her in-laws until the end of her life. She watched him grow from a soldier to a mighty general step by step. , fully comply with the second and third of the 'three don't go'.

Therefore, even if Nu Dahai changes his mind now, he cannot divorce her.

As a royal woman, Xinyue can neither be a concubine, nor let Nu Dahai divorce her wife as the main wife. Being rejected by the traditional system of monogamy and multiple concubines, she is naturally a mistress.

When a normal wife deals with a mistress, she can use the law to suppress it, and she can use morality to condemn it. However, Xinyue is the princess, and the monarch and his ministers are different, which makes Yanji helpless to her, and finally a good family is broken into pieces.

Linglong sighed deeply: "It's hard to be a woman, but it's even harder to be a wife!"

Mother Rong said: "I heard that the mighty general went to the palace this morning to beg the emperor, hoping to take Princess Xinyue to live in his general's mansion. Princess Xinyue has already promised him, how dare he open this door?" It's really outrageous, the emperor immediately scolded him back, the general's wife has already handed over the sign to the Palace of Compassion."

Linglong said: "Xinyue is the culprit who is unconscious, and Nu Dahai is still unclear. Yanji's going to the palace to intercede for her husband this time, I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort."

She thought for a while, got up and shook off her sleeves: "Nurse Rong, accompany me to the Compassionate Ning Palace."
