Chapter 590 Close Relatives (Thanks to book friend 20190722111542761 for the reward~)
Facing Li Sanniang’s gaze, Mrs. Zhang turned her head away from Li Sanniang with a guilty conscience.
When Li Sanniang saw Mrs. Zhang acting like this, what else did she not understand?
To put it simply, how could Mrs. Zhang, who was so nervous about this baby, only seek treatment for her, a female doctor who had gained some fame in Chang'an City in the past year?
That must be because I had seen other doctors earlier. I had doubts in my heart and wanted to hear more what other people had to say, so I asked Li Sanniang to see a doctor again.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing other doctors for treatment.
But, madam, you have to tell me the truth. If you deceive me, how can I judge the condition?
If Madam doesn’t tell the truth, I can’t draw a conclusion.”
Mrs. Zhang’s face turned a little ugly now. She really didn’t expect Li Sanniang to say it directly on the table. , which is a bit "not giving face" to an official wife like her.
But Mrs. Zhang touched her belly, and she was very concerned about this pregnancy. Just like what she and Li Sanniang said, if she could not give birth to a healthy child, she really wanted to let her have a baby. My concubine has given birth.
Even if the child born from a concubine is raised in his own name, what's the use?
If it’s not your own biological child, it has no blood relationship with you, so what’s the use?
What’s the use!
"I have indeed sought treatment from other doctors, and they all said that there is no big problem. We will just wait and see after the birth."
Li Sanniang nodded, she thought to herself : "Indeed, if you hadn't used plug-ins like me, there really wouldn't be any problem. We can only wait until the baby is born."
"Madam, apart from this, is there anything else you haven't said to me?"
Mrs. Zhang stared at Li Sanniang, who was really a bit aggressive. I wonder what else Li Sanniang wanted to "force" her?
Seeing Mrs. Zhang holding back her anger, Li Sanniang had no choice but to speak out.
“Is what Madam said to me about the third son who died in infancy all true?”
Li Sanniang saw Madam Zhang’s expression stiffened, and spoke again: “Madam Can you tell me if your wife and your son-in-law are related?”
Mrs. Zhang avoided Li Sanniang's question about her third son who died young, and looked at Li Sanniang with a little doubt and said, "Me and my son-in-law?"
Although Mrs. Zhang didn't understand why Li Sanniang asked This, but I still said it.
"We are naturally related. My mother-in-law and I are cousins, and my son-in-law and I are cousins."
Li Sanniang calculated these relationships in her heart, and also That is to say, Mrs. Zhang's biological grandfather and her son-in-law's biological grandmother are brothers and sisters of the same mother. In this way, Mrs. Zhang and her son-in-law are third generation close relatives.
This can be explained. Unless you are very lucky, it is quite normal for a child to be born with deformities and have a short lifespan if you have close relatives.
In modern society, there is a high probability that such close relatives will not get married. Even if they get married, problems can be discovered during prenatal check-ups, and losses can be stopped in time. In the future, they can divorce and separate, and each can find a suitable person to remarry.
But in the Tang Dynasty at this time, it was too common for cousins to combine to give birth, especially among the upper class. In order to consolidate their own status and interests and prevent their interests from being expropriated by outsiders, there were many cousins who combined.
Although at this time, people with the same surname did not marry, that is to say, cousins on the paternal side would not be mixed together, but cousins on the maternal side, in this feudal society at this time, the patriarchal clan system In the patriarchal system, it is not taken seriously.
In other words, they do not regard relatives from the maternal clan as important, and think that as long as they do not have the same surname, they can marry.
Just like Li Sanniang’s ex-husband Wang Ziheng, didn’t he later marry his widowed cousin?
Although it was his cousin who brought him the cuckold, you have to say that marriages between cousins who are closely related by blood within three generations but do not share the same surname do exist, and there are even many.
So, Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Sanniang in surprise, wondering why she would ask this?
In Mrs. Zhang's opinion, she and her son-in-law are close to each other. It is precisely because she is a relative on her mother-in-law's side that she has been able to live together for so many years, although she has not given birth to a child for her son-in-law. Come, you can still sit firmly in the position of madam. However, if she couldn't give birth to another healthy child, she really couldn't bear it anymore and had to let her concubine give birth to the child.
“I’m afraid Madam doesn’t know that it is difficult to give birth to healthy children with such a close relationship.”
Mrs. Zhang’s first reaction was that Li Sanniang was talking nonsense!
How is it possible that even though we are closely related, we cannot give birth to healthy children?
There are so many cousins getting married in this world, but no one can give birth to a child?
As soon as Li Sanniang saw Mrs. Zhang’s appearance, she knew that she didn’t believe it, or that she instinctively didn’t want to believe it!
“If Madam doesn’t believe it, send someone out to inquire about it. How many of the three generations of cousins who are closely related to each other and are related to the mother’s family can leave healthy heirs?
< br>
And how many of this child’s offspring will be healthy?
Isn’t it true that Madam didn’t tell me the truth when she told me about the third son who died young?
Let me be blunt, this pregnancy is very risky, my wife has thought about it, if it can be done, she will have the pregnancy before it is full term.
Otherwise, when the time comes.”
“Doctor Li!
You, you, what are you saying!
What nonsense!
You are alarmist! "
In the end, Li Sanniang was kicked out by Mrs. Zhang. She was "coaxed" out in a very disgraceful manner. Naturally, she didn't even get the medical fee.
"Sanniang? we? ”
"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Zhang is already good-tempered. She didn't kick me out. She just scolded me twice and looked at me.
Let's go, let's call a car back to the hospital. Go. ”
On the way back to the hospital, Li Sanniang was still concerned about the birth of close relatives. Li Sanniang had been concerned about the age of the girl’s birth before, and later because of her own encounter The fact that several women had lost their lives during childbirth made her intentionally want to make a report in order to influence the age at which girls gave birth.
“It seems that in addition to age, we should also pay attention to the issue of whether it is a consanguineous birth. If we can collect more data, it can be used as evidence to explain to everyone.”
< br>What Li Sanniang didn't know was that Mrs. Zhang, who had asked her mother-in-law to drive Li Sanniang out of the house, turned pale at the moment. She was holding the hand of her confidant, her mother-in-law, feeling really scared.
She and her mother-in-law knew that Li Sanniang was right!
Because she lied to Li Sanniang just now!
Mrs. Zhang’s first son was indeed stillborn, but the second son was said to have died before he was even a month old. In fact, it was man-made and he was starved to death!
Why?
Because the second son discovered that he had no anus the day after he was taken care of by his confidant!
How can I feed myself if I can’t excrete?
Don’t dare to feed, starving the child to death!
The third son said that he fell ill because his mother-in-law did not take care of him properly in the winter, and he became ill because he could not bear it.
Actually, the child has a problem of his own. He has no energy to even feed. He consulted a doctor privately. He was told that he was born with deficiencies and had problems with his heart and lungs. If he could be raised, he would need good medicine. Otherwise, you will still die halfway.
In this way, the mother-in-law listened to Mrs. Zhang's words and let the child go by herself through deliberate negligence.
This is what Mrs. Zhang is afraid of. Every child she gives birth to is unhealthy!
What about this thing in your belly now?
