Grandma Xie was furious in the room. When she left, Liu Ruolan had already burst into tears.
She also wanted to stand upright in front of her mother-in-law, but just when she felt that she finally had some confidence, fate revealed such a cruel truth and told her that she actually had no power to fight back at all.
Liu Ruolan didn't want to cry, but every time she thought that she would never be able to give birth to a child for her husband, her heart ached with pain.
The better Xie Xiuwen treats her, the more she feels that she shouldn't be selfish.
When Xie Rongzhao came in, Sister-in-law Wang had already wiped Liu Ruolan's face, and then stayed with her to comfort him.
Liu Ruolan hugged Xie Rongzhao and cried again, then sent her away and talked to Sister-in-law Wang herself.
"My mother-in-law is right, I can't be too selfish. My husband is young, promising, and handsome. If I can't give birth to a son for him, I can't stop others from giving birth."
As soon as Sister-in-law Wang heard this, she knew it was not good.
The master had a lot of words with her last night, just to ask her to enlighten the madam, and she could also hear that the master had no intention of taking a concubine.
Who would have thought that if the old lady came over today, everything would be in vain.
"Madam, what you said makes sense, but no matter what, you have to listen to what the second master wants, right? The old lady is an elder. Is she really doing it for the best of the second master, or is she just trying to cause trouble for you?"
Although Sister-in-law Wang has not been here long, she can see clearly.
The old lady didn't care about her second wife at all, so how could she really care about whether her second wife had a son?
Even if she really cares, I'm afraid the old lady is unwilling to let her second wife have Zi Yu as his inheritance.
Anyway, Sister-in-law Wang doesn’t believe that the old lady is sincerely interested in her second wife.
Now that there were no outsiders in the house, Sister-in-law Wang dared to say this.
Liu Ruolan was crying hard when she heard this and was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by this?"
Sister-in-law Wang lowered her voice and said: "Madam, the old lady obviously doesn't want to see the second master, so how can she hope that the second master will have a son? In the final analysis, she just sees that the second master and you are prosperous now, and thinks that she will not respond to you. Woolen cloth."
Liu Ruolan didn't quite believe it. Ziyi was a big deal. No matter how unhappy her mother-in-law was, it wouldn't be like this, right?
"Don't believe it. Think about it, since you got the shop, has the old lady mainly used Ziyi to speak against you? Think about it again, if the old lady really wants to If you want the second master to have a son, why didn't you mention this before? Why did you wait for the shop in your hand to come over and mention it again and again? "
is that so?
Liu Ruolan recalled it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
In the past, her mother-in-law would ridicule her for not being able to give her husband a son, but at most it was sarcasm. Occasionally, she could be heard to be a bit gloating about her misfortune, but she never heard her mention concubinage.
It seems that the mother-in-law started thinking about taking a concubine after the maid from the Song family came to the house last time.
Is it possible that it is really what Sister-in-law Wang said?
Liu Ruolan ran out of ideas for a while and forgot to cry.
Seeing that she had listened, Sister-in-law Wang said again: "Madam, the second master is a scholar and loves reputation. Even so, he can refuse the old lady's kindness, which shows that the second master does not really care about his son. Moreover, this servant I see that the second master is really kind to the young lady, and he has never disdained the young lady as a daughter."
This is true.
Xie Xiuwen has indeed always doted on Guabao and has never disliked this daughter.
So, is it really just her overthinking about concubinage?
Liu Ruolan now seemed to have entered a strange circle. One moment she felt that her husband should have a son to inherit the family legacy, and the other moment she felt that her husband didn't care much about such things, so there was no need to persuade her husband to take a concubine.
Liu Ruolan herself was a little tired from pulling back and forth like this.
"I want to be alone. Sister-in-law Wang, let's go see the good boy."
"Yes, Madam. Then you lie down for a while, and I will take care of the young lady. You have to think about it. Once you enter this concubine, it will be a lifetime thing. Are you really willing to let the second master be separated from you in the future?" "
These words touched Liu Ruolan's heart again.
She and Xie Xiuwen have known each other since childhood and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Are years of friendship really giving up?
Although Liu Ruolan is soft-tempered, she is not stupid.
She knew that if another woman really came into the door, no matter how good the man said, as time went by and there were more disputes in the family, the man's heart would inevitably favor one party.
Who can guarantee that the person he will favor in the future will be her?
Especially if that woman gives him another son in the future, no matter what, he has to keep it in mind. How much of the friendship between them can survive as time goes by?
After Liu Ruolan lay down, her mind was in chaos.
For a while, she thought about how her husband and she were homeless, and there was no one around to serve her.
After a while, she seemed to see her husband hugging each other, and threw the mother and daughter aside and ignored them.
No matter which one it was, her heart was filled with relief.
Sister-in-law Wang is at her wits end. She has tried to persuade everyone she can. If she doesn't listen, she can't make the decision.
That night, Liu Ruolan helped Xie Xiuwen undress with red eyes. After a moment of tenderness between the two, Liu Ruolan snuggled into his arms and finally mentioned the subject of concubinage.
Xie Xiuwen frowned and hugged him a little tighter: "If I really bring in a house full of beauties, how will you and Guobao deal with each other?"
Liu Ruolan felt a pain in her heart and said forcefully: "I am your legal wife, she is just a concubine, how can she get past me?"
Xie Xiuwen sneered: "What you think is simple! Have you never thought about why my mother is so persistent in letting me take a concubine?"
Liu Ruolan was startled: "Mr. Lang?"
"My mother doesn't like you. She has been scornful of you since you got married. If she really welcomes another concubine into the house, she will definitely hold that concubine against you. Then you will be at Xie's house Naturally, you are struggling. How can you still take care of our sweet baby when you have so much to take care of yourself? "
Liu Ruolan's heart tightened and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll just bear it."
"Can you bear it, and our dear baby must bear it too? Not to mention whether the concubine can give birth to a son for me, I just ask you, if the concubine is big-hearted, has other thoughts, and even dares to Our sweet baby has taken action, can you still endure it?"
Liu Ruolan sat up immediately and looked at the man in front of her in the weak moonlight, her eyes full of panic: "You, are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
Xie Xiuwen sighed softly and took her into his arms again.
"It's not that I scare you on purpose, but that you are too naive. You may not know some of the tricks of wealthy families, but my mother has experienced it personally. If she really gets the chance, how can you still do it?"
