The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 114: Marrying a Fool, What a Good Marriage

The more Shi Mingzhu thought about it, the more restless she became and the more frustrated she felt.

Why is God so unfair? If he allowed her to be reborn, why did he let her sisters-in-law be reborn as well?

Her sisters-in-law didn't know what had happened before, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head in front of them.

They were reborn, and had memories of their entire family being executed in their previous life. How should she face them?

They must be resentful of her, right?

They resented her for being blind and choosing a wolf from Zhongshan after careful selection, which resulted in the loss of the heads of an entire family and their love wasted.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense why the eldest sister-in-law is being naughty and the second sister-in-law is picking on the second brother.

She felt bitter in her mouth, feeling guilty and complaining.

She didn't think she had chosen the wrong person. She thought that by marrying Zhou Shao, she would be happy and would also bring honor to the family. It would kill two birds with one stone and everyone would benefit and be happy.

Now that the sisters-in-law have been reborn, they should unite as one and make the Duke's Mansion a better place, instead of causing chaos in the mansion, making their mother angry and sick, and exhausting herself.

Shi Mingzhu gently held Zheng's hand, feeling extremely ashamed.

After all, it was she who caused her mother to be like this.

Zheng patted her hands gently and asked, "Zhuzhu, do you have anything to say?"

Shi Mingzhu turned her head and said, "Brothers, please stand up first. It's uncomfortable to talk while kneeling."

The Duke of Zhenguo snorted, "Zhuzhu has spoken, so you should get up."

The three Shi Mingwu brothers looked at Shi Mingzhu with gratitude and stood up one after another.

Shi Mingwei said in a slick tone: "Zhuzhu still loves her brothers."

Shi Mingzhu smiled and said to her parents in a serious tone, "It is not appropriate to divorce my second sister-in-law. Firstly, my second sister-in-law and my second brother gave birth to Yunya and Yunyi. They will have a hard time in the future after losing their mother.

Secondly, our family's reputation is not good enough, so we shouldn't cause any more trouble.

Thirdly, maybe I am just being overly suspicious. My second sister-in-law might know something, such as my marriage with the Fourth Prince, or other secrets in the mansion. If I let her go, she will be resentful and may spread the news everywhere."

The Duke of Zhenguo and Shi Mingwu looked at her with satisfaction and pride.

Their daughter Zhuzhu is very smart, considerate and kind-hearted.

Shi Mingwei yelled, "According to what Zhuzhu said, I can't divorce that crazy woman? No, no, no, I don't want to spend my whole life with her. I have to be on guard against her when I sleep at night. I can't stand it these days. How can I endure it for the rest of my life?"

Shi Mingzhu recalled the story of her seventh brother, seventh sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law in her previous life, and said softly, "A woman cannot marry two husbands. My brother is a man, so does he have to follow the rules for us women?"

After saying that, she covered her lips and chuckled.

The Duke of Zhenguo, Zheng and others all laughed.

Everyone suddenly understood.

Yes, why must he divorce Le An Ning? Shi Mingwei can only marry one wife, but he can have many concubines, so just leave Le alone.

Don't make family disgrace public. It is far more beneficial to keep Le An Ning than to divorce her.

Shi Mingwei was still not satisfied, but his parents had no objection, and he did not dare to say anything to Le again. When he thought about having to be on guard against this poisonous snake every night before going to bed, he felt that his life was hopeless.

Never mind, never mind. At worst, he can just come home less often and get a few more mistresses outside.

Let Le live in Tangxi Courtyard alone.

He rarely comes back to the Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shi Mingwei felt so aggrieved. He was a grown man, but he had fallen to the point where he couldn't return home.

The Duke of Zhenguo said, "However, Le Shi does have many inappropriate behaviors. We need to scare her and make the Le family restrain themselves. If we want to divorce her, we still need to make a show of it."

Everyone was stunned, and after a little thought, they understood the Duke of Zhenguo's intention.

Shi Mingwei was overjoyed and flattered, "Father still loves me!"

Shi Mingzhu joked: "Just now my brother said that I love you the most, and now it is my father who loves you the most. I wonder if you were just teasing me."

Shi Mingwei answered glibly, "We are a loving family, and we love each other."

The Duke of Zhenguo gave him a slap on the face: "What nonsense are you talking about again! Shut up!"

After teaching his second son a lesson, he looked at his youngest son with a deep gaze, "Minghui, I'm afraid your marriage with Miss Ge Si won't work out. Your family is sorry for you.

Anyway, since it has come to this, since you are the youngest among the brothers, you don't need to rush to get married and have children. You can postpone it for a year or two. When the storm has died down, we will find a good match for you."

Shi Minghui's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his head, and asked with a burning gaze: "What if I have a way to prevent the Ge family from canceling the engagement?"

The Duke of Zhenguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't damage the reputation of our family. If you have a way, you can marry her. Your mother and I have happily prepared the betrothal gifts, invited a matchmaker, and sacrificed our reputation to come to your house to ask for marriage for you."

He was satisfied with the marriage with Ningyuan Marquis. Although Ningyuan Marquis had not been to the battlefield for ten years and had not been to the border for five years, the Ge family still had a strong influence and control over the Southwestern Army.

The current Southwest General is the general brought up by Ningyuan Hou himself.

Zheng pouted slightly when she heard this.

She didn't want to become a relative of that evil woman named Li.

She would never forgive Li for daring to slap her son in the face, and she only wished she could curse her to die early and be reborn soon.

If Xin Niang had not been beaten to death, she would have definitely found Xin Niang and become a villain, and only by poking at Li's villain could she vent her hatred.

Shi Minghui bowed respectfully, suppressed his joy, and said, "Thank you, father and mother, for your love for their son!"

The Duke of Zhenguo said again: "Let me be frank with you. If it cannot be salvaged, you can't make a fuss."

Shi Minghui said: "Son, I'll remember it."

The Duke of Zhenguo waved his hand and said, "Go away, don't disturb your mother's rest. None of you will be worry-free!"

After driving away the three brothers, the Duke of Zhenguo called a maid to escort Shi Mingzhu back to Lanpei Courtyard, then turned around and said to Zheng in a serious tone, "Today I heard that the Marquis of Ningyuan went to see the Prince of Changning."

Zheng was shocked: "Duke, what you mean is that the Ningyuan Marquis must have known that our family was planning to marry Shi Yao to the only son of the Changning County Prince, and he saw through our plan, so he broke off the engagement with you?"

The Duke of Zhenguo pondered and shook his head: "I don't know exactly, but I guess I have guessed a little. He probably doesn't know about Zhuzhu and the Fourth Prince, so it doesn't matter much.

On the surface, this marriage was unfair to Shi Yao. He might have had some misunderstanding and thought we were the kind of wolves and tigers who would harm his niece. Hey! There is no way I can go and explain it to others for no reason."

Zheng said anxiously: "Shi Yao is a concubine's daughter, and a daughter of the third wife. She can marry the only son of the Prince of Changning and become the Crown Prince's Consort. In the future, she will become the Princess of Changning. How honorable this is!

There was no good marriage that could be found even with a lantern, what could she choose? How could she be treated unfairly! She still wanted to compete with our Zhuzhu? Who made her unlucky to be born into Ji's belly.

There are so many families in the capital who want to marry their daughters into the palace, but the Prince of Changning doesn't like them. It's only because our family has some friendship between the Duke and the Prince that Shi Yao can get this good marriage."
