Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 48
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang raised her hand and slapped her son, and said angrily: "Your wife just came back from Guining, and there is a maid in your room who is pregnant with your child. What is this called? How do you want your wife to deal with herself?"

As the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang naturally hated the old custom of the Jia family arranging housemaids for young masters.It was the same when she married in back then, she would have to be angry with those two concubines all the time, if she hadn't used her wrist to kill the two vixens, she would have caused so much trouble.

As for the eldest son of the concubine, it is not impossible to exist, but the general Han officials follow the etiquette of Confucius and always respect the wife of the concubine. Before the birth of the concubine's children, it is very immoral for the Han people It is an insult to the first wife and the wife's family.

But in the eyes of the Manchus, it is not a big deal, it is very common.Isn't Hauge, the eldest son of Taizong Huang Taiji, born of a concubine?no big deal.As the saying goes, if there is such a concubine eldest son in many Han officials' families, they will talk about the royal family, and it's fine to cover up this matter easily.

Let alone others now, Li Wan is a daughter-in-law who came from a noble family. Although she is calm by nature, she doesn't care that her husband has other women before marriage, but the child in Yunluo's belly is really slapping her face. Not only did she slap Li Wan in the face, but also the face of the entire Li family behind her.

"Miyagi, I...you also know that Yunluo has been mine for a long time, but because I haven't married a wife, I have never given her a title, so it is expected that she is pregnant. It's just that I I didn't expect that she would be pregnant in front of you, I've always been very careful, and I asked her to take medicine, but..."

Li Wan looked at Jia Zhu coldly, and Jia Zhu was also frozen by her icy eyes. After a few days of marriage, she always felt that her wife was gentle and submissive, but she didn't expect her to show such a side. It made her sad.

Seeing her grandson's unreasonable face in front of his granddaughter-in-law, Jia's mother felt a little displeased.Having such a well-born daughter-in-law like Jia Shezhi's wife has already made her dignified and superior Mrs. Guo feel uncomfortable, so how can she be willing to let her good grandson be so dwarf?Besides, behind her, Zhang Lingxuan, there is a powerful Zhang family, and no matter how prominent Li Wan's natal family is, it is a matter of the previous generation. Now it is just a noble family, so why be afraid of her?

"Okay, okay, I don't need to be so serious. I don't know if it's a man or a woman. If it's a daughter, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's a concubine or a concubine. A family like ours is afraid that we won't be able to find a husband's family that suits us? If it's a son ...That’s okay, just put the name directly in the name of the legitimate mother and raise him as the eldest son. It can save the face of the Li family."

Jia's mother's words were too careless, and Li Wan's heart felt a chill again. She was clearly favoring Yunluo and the child in her womb. Did she think she was dead as a new granddaughter-in-law?No matter how beautiful Jia's mansion is, how could it be so disregarding etiquette and regard the first wife as nothing?

"The old ancestor's granddaughter-in-law disagrees. Even if I have a concubine, it is impossible for the child to match when it is born. Is it possible to say that the granddaughter-in-law was pregnant with the uncle's child before she got married? Is this to let the saliva of the world drown me? There is no such reason in the world."

Mrs. Wang was secretly happy when she saw that Li Wan was really angry.Yunluo was the one whom Jia's mother forced her to give to Jia Zhu, but Jia Zhu fell in love with her. As a mother, she couldn't kill her at the drop of a hat. She ruined the relationship between mother and son for the sake of a girl. Can't do it.

Now that something like this happened, she didn't need to cook Yunluo herself, her daughter-in-law was the first one who couldn't tolerate her, and all she had to do now was to watch the fire from the other side and add oil and vinegar.Where in this world is there a dignified first wife who can bear this anger?
I saw Mrs. Wang showing pity on her face, showing a look of bewilderment, and deliberately hesitated for a while before saying: "Yes, old lady. This... the daughter-in-law has just entered the door, even if she recognizes the child , the timing is not right. Besides, even if our second wife does not have a title to inherit, but the status of the eldest son is so precious, how can we let the son of a lowly concubine... It seems very inappropriate. If it is true, then In the end, I will have no face to see my wife."

When Li Wan heard Mrs. Wang say this, tears welled up after holding back for a long time, looked at Mrs. Wang with teary eyes, and called out sadly: "Madam..."

Seeing this, Jia's mother couldn't say anything, and Jia Zhu wanted to find a place to drill, but Mrs. Wang hugged Li Wan in her arms distressedly: "Good boy, I don't blame you, I blame me for not teaching my son well." .Speaking of which, that girl is really a coquettish girl. She is so old when you are young? Do you want to give birth to the eldest son of our Jia family? I can't afford to lose face!"

"Mother... are you going to kill my son?"

Mrs. Wang meant to let go of Yunluo's pregnancy, but she looked at her son's appearance, and then at Jia Mu who was already furious. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be cowardly: "Amitabha, what can't you kill?" Killed, who are you as a mother? But if you don't let her have a baby...it's all a good thing you did, and now you are in such a dilemma, why? Now you know that you love your own flesh and blood, why? Unrestrained?"

Li Wan nestled in Mrs. Wang's arms, looked up at Mrs. Wang's anger, Jia Zhu cherished her child so much, and Jia Mu's angry face seemed to fall from a warm spring to a cold day in March.

Mother Jia asked angrily: "Now you are unwilling to accept this child, and you are unwilling to let Yunluo conceive. Tell me, what should you do now?"

"This... this..." Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma. After "this" for a long time, she didn't say a whole sentence. Instead, she pulled Li Wan out of her arms and asked seriously: "My dear boy, I will listen to you now." Yes, you can do whatever you say, okay?"

Seeing that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all staring at him closely, Li Wan felt that he had exhausted all his strength and energy to suppress the anger in his heart.

She carefully examined the faces of the three people, and after a long while, she pretended that she couldn't bear to see Jia Zhu sad, and said with aggrieved words: "I will follow my husband's orders when I marry. Besides, it is the flesh and blood of my husband, whether to leave it or to keep it. You should have listened to him."

Jia Zhu said without any hesitation: "Then let Yunluo be born. If it is a daughter, I will give it to you to raise. If it is a son, I will not let him be named as the eldest son. The status of the eldest son is too valuable. Where is he?" Match? You still have to judge your child to be worthy."
