The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

Of course, returning home and marrying another woman was Marquis Zhenbei's own plan. In fact, it was also the idea of ​​his former father-in-law, Duke Weiguo. After all, although Xiao Yun married into Marquis Pingxi's mansion, this situation was almost the same as being a widow, so they didn't want their granddaughter to waste her best years, so having her take care of him for three years was already the most they could do.

Unexpectedly, the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion did not want to let him go. They were secretly discussing to let the second son Chu Hongwen, who had married Xiao Yun on behalf of his elder brother, to inherit both houses.

That's right, it's two branches. Chu Hongwen is the only one in Pingxi Marquis Mansion who chooses the literary route. He passed the imperial examination three years ago and was going to continue to take higher exams, but his grandfather died in the war, so he could only stay silent and observe mourning.

At that time, in order to avoid any accidents in the previously arranged marriage, he and his fiancée were married directly in Rexiaoli. So he wanted to use the fact that he and Xiao Yun had gotten married before as an excuse to keep her, and he could only use the method of marrying two wives at the same time.

The people in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion believed that although the original owner was a legitimate daughter, her biological mother was no longer around, and she was not valued by her father at home. Instead of going back to her parents' home to suffer, it would be better for her to stay in her husband's home. As the eldest daughter-in-law in the eldest house, it would be much better for her.

But they didn't know that even if the Marquis of Zhenbei didn't value his daughter, he would never ignore her. Just for the sake of face and to impress his ex-father-in-law's family, he would still give her some support and arrange the rest of her life.

However, plans could not keep up with changes. Before either side could put it into action, Chu Hongyi, who was thought to be dead, actually came back.

And he didn't come back alone, he brought his new wife with him.

That's right, he had remarried, and this wife was of an extraordinary status. She was the daughter of Lu Jiaojiao, the general Pingxi Lu Yuan, who later succeeded his grandfather, the old Marquis of Pingxi, as the commander-in-chief and stabilized the subsequent war situation.

When he came back, he ignored everything else and directly said that he wanted to divorce Xiao Yun and promised to compensate the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

If this is true, it is actually not bad. Anyway, Xiao Yun and he have no emotional foundation. Three years have passed, and even if he felt a little moved at that time, not much is left with the passage of time.

Besides, she had already regarded him as dead, so returning home after mourning and returning home after divorce were not much different.

Although she was resentful, she did not pursue the matter. She thought that since the husband had no interest in her, she would divorce him and would not marry again. She even wanted to set up a wife and live a good life with a large dowry. The freedom of a wealthy widow (wife) was no better than being married and having to serve a large family.

It was just that her idea was good, but she didn't expect that other people in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion disagreed, even those in Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion.

The Pingxi Marquis' Mansion wanted to keep the original owner and make Lu Jiaojiao his co-wife, with no distinction between the two.

From now on, the original body, the legitimate wife of the Crown Prince, will be the main one in charge of the household. Of course, this was said after knowing that Lu Jiaojiao did not have much dowry. Before that, they wanted the two of them to manage the household together.

As for the stepmother of the Marquis of Zhenbei, she was not happy with her return home. It was fine for her to return home after mourning as it would not affect her reputation, but it was different for a divorce. She still had other daughters, and if the original owner went back, it would definitely affect her daughters' marriage market.

At first, Chu Hongyi agreed to the divorce and said that he was sorry for her because he did not come back to get married at that time. Later, so many things happened. Maybe they were not destined to be together. Now he married someone else by accident, so he would not delay her and he would go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to apologize.

If things develop in this way, and then a matchmaker is invited to count the dowry, then the divorce can be considered amicable. At least Chu Hongyi and the original body are both happy about it, so it will be useless even if others are unwilling.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaojiao stood up at this time and came to the original body and said that she was willing to be her concubine and only begged her not to divorce, otherwise everyone would say that she stole someone else's husband and her children would have no reputation in the future.

Chu Hongyi later changed his mind and told the original body that since she was not planning to marry again in the future, it would be better for her to stay instead of going out and being gossiped about. He would live a good life with her and she would still be the mistress of the family.

The original body didn't think much about it at the time. She was an authentic ancient woman, and her upbringing since childhood made her accept her husband having concubines. Even though she had previously dreamed of being together for the rest of her life, it was not a must.

She thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. After all, she was still the original wife. When Chu Hongyi inherited the title, she would be a legitimate marquis' wife. Lu Jiaojiao's children would also have to call her mother. When her legitimate son was born, the position of crown prince would also be her son's.

Now that we are not talking about feelings anymore, we have to talk about interests. These benefits are what she deserves.

So the original body stayed and continued to be the Crown Prince's wife.

But Chu Hongyi never entered her yard in the following year, except for resting in the front yard or staying at Lu Jiaojiao's place.

Seeing other people living a happy life, she felt more and more uncomfortable as she was like a housekeeper, helping them with housework and raising children.

But she couldn't lose face even if she was allowed to make a scene, as if she was asking for love.

In addition, Lu Jiaojiao gave birth to a son, and together with her previous daughter, both children were raised by her. The daughter was even more obedient and called her mother. She loved her very much and raised her very carefully. She was reluctant to let her go.

But this kind of life lasted less than two years. In the spring of that year, she was infected with an epidemic for unknown reasons. She was afraid of passing it on to her child, so she went to the farm to recuperate. However, she never came back...

……Dividing line……

After the original owner died, for some reason her soul did not leave, but floated directly back to Pingxi Marquis Mansion. She was worried about the child and wanted to check on him again, but she did not expect to find the child in her own yard. Later, after a round of searching, she discovered that the child was with Lu Jiaojiao.

Since she was gone, it was normal for the child to be taken back by Lu Jiaojiao. But it just so happened that she overheard the conversation between Lu Jiaojiao and Chu Hongyi. The two were discussing how to keep all her dowry.

According to the laws of the time, if the wife of the first wife had no children, the dowry had to be sent back to her parents' home.

Although Lu Jiaojiao gave the child to the original owner to raise, the child was not registered under her name, so her parents can also take back the dowry.

If the child is registered under her name, she can keep half of it, and the other half will also have to return home, because after all, it is not her biological child and has no blood relationship with her mother's side.

The two were talking about registering their eldest son Chu Huaian under her name in the family tree, so that he would be the eldest son in the future and could also keep her dowry.

However, based on their investigation of the original body's stepmother, she would definitely not miss the opportunity to save up a dowry for her daughter, so it would be a bad idea to keep all the dowry, and they would have to think of other ways.

The conversation between the two was actually quite normal up to this point. After all, she was dead, and she didn't really care about her belongings anymore. She couldn't take them with her anyway, so it didn't matter who she gave them to.

But Lu Jiaojiao's next words made her soul feel like it was falling into an icy cave.
