Chapter 825 Grievance
This concubine took advantage of his wife to give birth to a child and killed his wife. She had many things happen to her when she came to power, not just one or two.
After a while, a group of long-mouthed women once again looked at Zhu Qingtong with the eyes of looking at a murderer. The more they looked at her, the more they felt that she was full of the aura of a concubine. This is how the concubine married by their master liked to cry in front of him. If they cry and pretend to be pitiful and aggrieved, the master will agree to anything.
A serious lady would not use this method to gain a man's favor.
Being stared at by so many condemning and sarcastic eyes, Zhu Qingtong suddenly couldn't cry anymore.
She gritted her teeth and cursed all these long-mouthed women in her heart.
Damn it, we are all women too. After hearing what happened to her, shouldn't they sympathize with her? Why are they still staring at her like a murderer, making her hair crawl all over.
Even if she wants to marry her cousin as a concubine, so what.
She is still young, and she doesn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life to an annoying husband. She wants to find a reliable man to marry. Is this wrong?
She is a woman, and as a woman, she will want to plan for the second half of her life. In the second half of her life, she can only live happily if she marries her cousin.
She didn't expect too much, she was satisfied just being a concubine by her cousin's side.
Isn't it okay if she just makes such a small request?
Does a woman deserve to remain a widow for the rest of her life after her husband dies?
Zhu Qingtong was dissatisfied and unwilling to give up. She cried and said to Mrs. Jin, "That was before. I no longer care about my cousin. Now I just want to live well alone and have never thought about getting married again." .”
Then he asked, "I want to see my cousin-in-law. Can you please let me see my cousin-in-law?"
Having said that, it seems a bit unjustifiable if she is not allowed to see the young lady. In any case, Zhu Qingtong and her young master are cousins and relatives.
But...
Is it really just a meeting, no other requirements?
Mrs. Jin looked embarrassed, wondering whether she should let Zhu Qingtong go in to see her young lady.
Just when she was in trouble, Zeng Jing walked out with a big watermelon belly, being supported by two maids on the left and right.
Zeng Jing happened to walk to the door and heard Zhu Qingtong's last words.
When she stepped out of the threshold, she looked at Zhu Qingtong, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile, "My cousin wants to see me?"
"Cousin, you...you finally came out to see me." Zhu Qingtong cried with joy. She rushed forward excitedly and wanted to hug Zeng Jing, but Mrs. Jin stopped her with her agile hands and feet.
Mrs. Jin stared at her unkindly, "Cousin, please note that my young lady is very heavy and cannot bear much strength."
"Yes...I'm sorry." Zhu Qingtong looked aggrieved, with tears in her eyes like a puppy, "I was just so happy to see my cousin, I forgot about it in the excitement."
"Then please pay attention to my cousin. My young lady is heavy, so it's better for my cousin not to get too close." Mrs. Jin stood next to Zeng Jing and looked at Zhu Qingtong warily.
Zhu Qingtong's face turned red and she looked at Zeng Jing pitifully, "Cousin-in-law."
"Didn't my cousin say you have something to say to me? Just say it, I'm all ears." Zeng Jing seemed to have not seen the prayer in her eyes, her voice was slow and she had no intention of letting Zhu Qingtong enter the door. Zhu Qingtong gritted her teeth secretly, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn. She said, "There are many people here. Cousin, why don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Zeng Jing had a look of embarrassment on her face, "Well, I heard from the older generation that if there are pregnant women and mothers in the house, mourners cannot be allowed in. It has not been two years since my cousin's husband left, and my cousin is still mourning for her. Right? ”
Generally, when a woman from a wealthy family has a husband who dies, she has to mourn her husband for two years. Only with the consent of her husband's family can the widow remarry. However, women from wealthy families rarely remarry after their husband dies, regardless of whether they have children or not. few.
If a man dies and his wife dies, he can marry a second wife after one year of mourning.
If a parent dies, they have to mourn for three years.
Seeing Zhu Qingtong's sad face, Zeng Jing quickly said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up my cousin's sadness. It's really..." She wiped her round belly, motherly love radiating, and said softly, "The doctor said that I am pregnant with a girl this time. My husband and I have two sons, and we are looking forward to having another daughter. I don't want anything to happen to my daughter, and I hope my cousin will understand."
Ask her to be considerate. What should she be considerate of?
She understands Zeng Jing, so who will understand her?
If she couldn't get through the door today, then Sun Guang would ask a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow. At that time, she would have to agree or not.
No, she would not agree even if she died.
That scoundrel Sun Guang wants to marry her, so just dream.
Zhu Qingtong felt a heavy breath in her heart. She couldn't go up or down. She looked at Zeng Jing with a sad expression, "I came to see my cousin, I just want to ask my cousin to save me. I don't want to marry that scoundrel Sun Guang. Cousin, he is talking nonsense, He didn't see my body at all, but... Wuwu... I am a woman, how can I argue with him about this kind of thing? No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, it is our woman who will suffer. "
Zhu Qingtong cried pitifully and felt aggrieved.
The people around watching the excitement were very sympathetic.
Zeng Jing also looked sympathetic and pitiful. Zeng Jing said, "Since my cousin doesn't want to get married, then just don't get married."
"Really, my cousin will help me?" Zhu Qingtong looked at her with surprise.
Zeng Jing hummed and nodded firmly, "I will send someone to take you back to the capital tomorrow. You go back and pack your luggage and set off early tomorrow morning."
The smile on Zhu Qingtong's face broke instantly, "Cousin, aren't you going to take me in?"
"Cousin, I promised to help you and prevent Sun Guangqiang from marrying you, but I never said I would take you in." Zeng Jing smiled gently on her face, "The Liao family's original family is in the capital, and your grandmother is there. You Uncle, your aunt, and your eldest cousin, it’s better for you to take refuge with them than to take refuge with me and your second cousin.”
"You also know your second cousin's temperament. His uprightness can make people give him a thumbs up and admiration. My mother and I only live on your cousin's salary. To tell you the truth, he is just that kind of person. Salary, life is very tight these days. If cousin Chu Yu hadn’t always helped me, my mother would have starved to death.”
"I couldn't bear to have you live in poverty with us as a couple. I thought about it again and again, and decided to send you back to the capital."
"Besides, if you don't take refuge with your grandmother, or your uncles and aunts, you come to take refuge with a second cousin who is letting things go. It's hard to say this, either. Your second cousin is a prefect, so his reputation is very important."< br>
