Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 152 If I Never Married in My Life

After Chu Zhi and Han Zhan sent Imperial Physician Liu to the palace gate, they walked back.

Chu Zhi remained silent all the way.

Han Zhan was keenly aware that Chu Zhi was not in a high mood, and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Chu Zhi didn't know what to say, so Han Zhan asked again, "Because of your sister?"

Chu Zhi paused, then nodded slightly: "Yes."

Han Zhan comforted her: "Don't worry, Imperial Physician Liu also said that your sister is fine, as long as she takes care of herself and is in a good mood, she will definitely be pregnant."

Chu Zhi let out a long sigh of relief, Madam Hou's words just now seemed to be still ringing in her ears, making her feel panicked.

If it wasn't for what the elder sister said, if it wasn't for seeing it with her own eyes today, I would know that the elder sister's life is so difficult.

"Han Zhan, why do you think women exist in this world?" Chu Zhi asked suddenly.

When I was at home, I had to learn etiquette since I was a child, read women's precepts, learn women's virtues, and dare not let go of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in order to find a good husband.When they get married, they think about how to care for their husbands and children, serve their mother-in-law, and deal with the concubines of their husbands. If they are a little careless, they will lose their virtue and be in vain in the name of being the mother.

A woman lives for others all her life, never for herself, not even for a single day.

This is women in the world, so unfair, but they have long been used to it, just because it has been like this from ancient times to the present, don't say that men will think so, even women will think so. For a lifetime, being a good wife and mother is enough.

On the other hand, men can obtain meritorious service to serve the imperial court, go to battle to kill enemies, and realize their ambitions.

This is also the reason why Chu Zhi didn't think much about Yu Chengqin in this life.

Even though she understands in her heart that the world is like this, and her thoughts are different in the eyes of the world, but... she is still not reconciled.

Unwilling to be lost in the crowd like an ordinary woman, and spend her whole life in a muddle.

In her previous life, she was an ordinary woman, she became a virtuous wife under the guidance of the Wu family, her grandmother, and Princess Rui, but she didn't like it, not at all.

It wasn't until she went to the battlefield that she felt that life was so happy and hearty. Even under the same sky, she felt that even her breathing was different.

Therefore, she has tried her best to find a different path in her life. One is to seek something in this life, and she wants to do something meaningful. Another point is that she only realized today that what she likes is not the life on the battlefield. It is only on the battlefield that one can realize one's own value, and only on the battlefield can one fight against the secular world and get rid of the duties of being a woman in the eyes of the secular world.

Just like the elder sister, when she was at home, she played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was proficient in everything.

At that time, what Chu Zhi heard most was that the elder sister was so outstanding, she would definitely find a good husband.

The eldest sister indeed married into a good husband's family, Yongxing Hou's Mansion, a hairpin family, a high-end courtyard, unlimited honor and favor, and overwhelming wealth.

Therefore, the elders in the family were proud of the elder sister and often taught them: "Only by working hard can you marry a good family like the elder sister."

Even a lively little girl like Chu Xuan can't help but say shyly, "The husband I, Chu Xuan will marry in the future is naturally very good."

Chu Zhi's mood at that time was both happy and sad.

The happy sisters are so harmonious and have great ideas for the future, but it's sad that everyone's goal is just to marry a good family.

It is true that the elder sister married into a noble family, and the scenery is boundless, but who knows that the elder sister feels sour and embarrassed.

After entering the mansion for half a year, the mother-in-law asked her husband to take a concubine because she had nothing to do. She was depressed but uneasy to reveal it, and she still had to smile.

After Imperial Physician Liu said that Eldest Sister was fine, Mrs. Hou was ecstatic and cared for Eldest Sister, but what she cared about between the lines was to take care of her body so that she could conceive and have children, so that the Hou Mansion could have successors, just like Eldest Sister The existence of human beings is just a tool for giving birth to children.

Chu Zhi knew that her thinking like this was a little one-sided. If she said this, there would be many people who would refute her, saying that a woman is alive, isn't it just a husband and a child to carry on the family?Isn't the purpose of a husband's family marrying a wife to have children?

Chu Zhi only thought it was absurd, extremely absurd!

But unable to change.

Just because that's how things are.

It should be known that behind the eldest sister, there are thousands of women.

"Han Zhan, do you think that if I don't get married, I won't be tolerated by the world?" Chu Zhi said with lowered eyes, and then laughed again after saying that, "Forget it, you pretend I didn't say anything."

As smart as Han Zhan, how could he not know why Chu Zhi had such doubts.

He didn't answer but instead asked: "Do you know the former Princess Chenyuan?"

Chu Zhi tried his best to recall for a long time before he said, "But that Princess Chenyuan who grew up in the northwest border, killed her son-in-law on the day of her wedding, never married, and never set foot in the capital?"

"Exactly."

Princess Chenyuan is from the previous dynasty and the little aunt of the late emperor, many years younger than the late emperor, and so long has passed, few people know of her existence.

Chu Zhi also heard a word or two mentioned in his previous life, but he didn't understand it.

Then he asked: "Why did you suddenly mention Princess Chenyuan?"

"At the beginning, Daliang was under the control of Zhao State. Princess Chenyuan grew up in the northwest border since she was a child. The neighboring country is Zhao State, so she volunteered to go to Zhao State as a hostage. Five years later, Princess Chenyuan returned. The late emperor thought of her loyalty to the country. It was only two decades later, so he gave her the title of 'Chen Yuan', and pointed out a marriage for her. The other party was the son of the Shangshu family. Princess Chen Yuan was married this time. And handsome, it was a good thing, it became a good story, but I don't want Princess Chen Yuan to kill the son-in-law with her own hands when they got married, and the blood splashed on the wedding hall."

Chu Zhi gasped, "Why?"

"It turns out that the son-in-law looks like a dog. He is a handsome young man, but he is actually kind and charming. He has raised countless concubines. After getting married to Princess Chenyuan, he has a mutual affection with the sixth princess of the late emperor. If he is a responsible person Yes, for rejecting the marriage with Princess Chenyuan and staying with the Sixth Princess, although the late Emperor was annoyed, he would not blame him. Without the meritorious Princess Chenyuan, even if Princess Chenyuan is two years older than him, she can bring him supreme glory, so she secretly concealed the matter. I don't want the sixth princess to be pregnant, and then to be The son-in-law threatened him and then cruelly abandoned her. The sixth princess was so young and ignorant, how could she bear it? So she hanged herself on the day of the son-in-law's wedding. This matter was soon discovered, and Chen Yuan after learning the truth The princess was furious, her aunt and nephew served her husband together, and the niece who killed herself hanged herself. This was a royal scandal, so she beheaded her son-in-law with her own hands on the spot, and said, "Most men in the world are unlucky. I would rather die alone than commit myself to others and live forever." !' Immediately, he took off his happy clothes, ignored the late emperor's dissuasion, and left Beijing with his maidservant."
