Daily life of a co-wife

The Battle of Dufeng was the longest and most brutal war fought by the State of Duan'an.

Among them, General Gu, the god of war of Duan'an State, also died in this battle.

The entire Gu family is a group of brave warriors, and all the adult men in their family went to the battlefield in this battle.

Everyone in Duan'an Country knew that the seven sons of the Gu family were all rare military talents.

pity……

The general dies in a hundred battles, and the soldiers return after ten years.

The only person who returned with the Gu family’s coffin was Gu Zigui, the third son of the Gu family.

After learning that Gu's sons had died in the battlefield, all the women in the Gu family, young and old, knelt outside the city gate in plain clothes and white veils on their heads.

Many common people spontaneously followed the Gu family, young and old, and knelt together to welcome their hero.

The women's eyes were hollow and lifeless, and there was an air of sadness and despair about all of them.

Tears fell silently from their faces as they watched the team transporting the coffin approaching little by little.

I still remember how reluctant we were to say goodbye, but when we met again we were already separated by the Yin and Yang.

"My son!"

The first one to rush over was the old lady of the Gu family, Gu Wen.

She witnessed the prosperity of the Gu family and also witnessed the demise of the Gu family.

Among nine males, only the third son Gu Zigui is left!

As Madam Gu wailed, the female members of the family also started crying.

"Oh my son... wooooooo!"

The eldest master of the Gu family, Gu Yunzhou, was 45 years old and died in battle.

The second master of the Gu family, Gu Yunci, was forty years old and died in battle.

The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Ziqi, was 23 years old and died in battle.

The second young master of the Gu family, Gu Ziyi, was 22 years old and died in battle.

Gu Zigui, the third young master of the Gu family, returned at the age of 21, but with scars all over his body.

Gu Zili, the fourth young master of the Gu family, died in battle at the age of twenty-one.

Gu Zhiyuan, the fifth young master of the Gu family, died in battle at the age of nineteen.

Gu Zicheng, the sixth young master of the Gu family, died in battle at the age of seventeen.

Gu Zhiyu, the seventh young master of the Gu family, died in battle at the age of sixteen.

Gu Jiajiulang rode an iron horse, fought through hundreds of battles and his blood turned into a river. The young man knew the hatred for his country, and piled up his bones to send him back. When the heroic soul came to the city, the whole city mourned and welcomed him back.

Gu family heroes, they are back...

The nine heroes of the Gu family, except the third son Gu Zigui, have shed their blood in every corner of Pingcheng.

When they were buried, all the civil and military officials in the court, and even His Majesty, came to mourn.

The Gu family is full of loyal and brave people, and Your Majesty cannot disappoint the hearts of millions of ordinary people, so he issued an edict on the day of the burial, conferring the title of Marquis of Ningguo on the eldest uncle Gu Yunzhou and the title of Marquis of Anguo on the second uncle Gu Yunci.

Having two marquises in one family is the highest honor, but the Gu family cannot be happy as the heroes' bodies are still warm.

"How can you show your filial piety? Let your son return home and get married!" Old Madam Gu made a request.

She couldn't let the children of the Gu family go to the underworld without anyone to worship them.

“Zigui brought a girl back this time. The girl was from Yaoyi Valley and she saved his life when he was in Pingcheng.

Zigui told me that Miss Tang had physical contact with him in order to save him." Su Xiangwan, wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, said.

They all knew that Zigui brought a girl back.

Because of the funeral, they just arranged for the girl to stay in the guest room.

“The second branch cannot be without an heir, and there is Ziqi, who is Yunzhou’s eldest son.

Zigui is back, and he is back with everyone's expectations. He shoulders the burden of inheriting the Gu family's heirs, and his marriage is not his own.

As the only heir of our Gu family, Zigui should inherit the third branch of the family." Old Madam Gu said.

Hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed in the eyes of Anguo Marquis' wife Luo Yunyan.

After her husband and son passed away, her life was without light. Now, after hearing her mother-in-law's words about taking over the throne, she came back to life.

Her son was gone, and she couldn't leave him without a successor.

"There is no problem with taking over the third room, but mother, it is not easy to find the right person." said the eldest lady Su Xiangwan.

Although the wife of a concubine is also a wife, her status is not as high as that of the main wife.

Although their Gu family has two marquises, there is only one heir left in the family, and the family is not very prosperous.

In addition, because of the support for the war, the Gu family did not have much assets.

The Gu family simply couldn't afford so much dowry to marry three wives at once.

"We, the children of the Gu family, sacrificed ourselves for the people of Duan'an. Even if I don't want this reputation, I will ask for a noble wife for the Gu family!"

Madam Gu's voice was cold and emotionless; she had already made a plan.

Although Zigui has returned, his body has been almost badly defeated and he may not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future.

The Gu family, a family that made its fortune through military merit, is about to fall into ruin as its children can no longer go to the battlefield.

The reputation of a loyal soul could not protect the Gu family for a lifetime. While the emperor's grace was still there, she wanted to ask for a noble lady for the Gu family.

Even if the children of the Gu family have no future, no one will dare to bully them!

Su Xiangwan's eyes lit up and she smiled flatteringly, "Then I'll trouble mother to arrange it."

The Ningguo Marquis is the eldest son of the family. Even if my mother wants to marry a noble lady, she will definitely consider the Ningguo Marquis first.

Although the Gu family had two marquises, they had long since separated.

Now the two governments are responsible for their own trivial matters.

Luo Yunyan frowned and said, "Mother, with our family's financial situation, I'm afraid we can't afford a proper wedding."

The current property of their Gu family was bestowed upon them after they were conferred the title of marquis.

In the past, the women in their family had to do embroidery to supplement the family income.

Madam Gu knocked on the table and was silent for a while before she said slowly, "The Gu family is full of loyal and brave people, so why can't they ask for a noble wife?"

She knew that forcing a girl to marry into the Gu family was disgraceful.

But for the future of their Gu family, she had to do it.

The wife of a concubine is the same as a co-wife, and it is not necessary for her to marry into their Gu family and become a widow.

Madam Gu’s arrangement is good, but it also requires Gu Zhigui’s consent.

"Grandma, my grandson will not marry anyone else but Nan Yi. I promised her that I would not take a concubine." Gu Zhigui insisted on his own opinion.

Old Madam Gu already knew Tang Nanyi's background. She was just an ordinary female disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley.

Being able to marry into the Gu family was already a high-class marriage for her.

"If you can guarantee that Tang Nanyi can give birth to three sons who can inherit the offspring of your two brothers, grandma doesn't care whether you marry her or not.

But Gu Zigui, can you promise?" Madam Gu's expression was the most serious that Gu Zigui had never seen before.

He knew he couldn't guarantee it.

"But if I take over the third branch, can grandma guarantee that they will give birth to children?" Gu Zigui asked back.

Old Madam Gu didn't reply, she just made a sad expression.

Looking at the old lady's expression and thinking about how it was his brother who risked his life to send him out on the battlefield, Gu Zhigui suddenly couldn't bring himself to say no.

"Okay, I agree."
