Xiu Ru refused to take a concubine, and the Lin and Yuan families agreed on terms

The third master explained that the cricket was worth sixty gold, but Mrs. Cheng was only angry with him for not living up to expectations.After Jin Qi resigned, the Lin family lost power and military expenditures were reduced. He never had a new job. Even the third master resigned from his original job due to being squeezed out. Relatives took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.Seeing the embarrassing situation, Lanxiang reminded her fourth sister to answer the call.The fourth sister quoted poetry and combined it with the emperor's hobbies, and Xie Sange used crickets to encourage himself, and the dispute was resolved.Although the second wife still cares about Lan Xiang's background, Lin's mother recognizes her more and more.

Xiu Ru's marriage also encountered difficulties.Yuan Shaohui was thirty-nine years old and Xiu Ru was twenty-six years old. They gave birth to three daughters in succession.Mrs. Yuan was in frail health and wanted to have her grandson before she died. She even chose a concubine, Biwu, the daughter of Butler Yang.Xiu Ru refused and walked alone in the rain. Her stepdaughter Rong Jieer came to hold an umbrella for her and persuaded her to go back to her parents' home to find her uncle and aunt.Sister Rong recognized this mother and understood that once her father had a bastard, the situation of their daughters might be even more difficult.

When Mother Lin heard Xiuru's insistence that she was not allowed to take concubines, she first said that she could not stop the Yuan family from continuing the family line on her behalf, then stood up and left.Lanxiang understood that she was leaving space for herself to propose reconciliation.Xiu Ru thought about it carefully and expressed her willingness. Jin Qi took out the letter of peace and separation, negotiated with Yuan Shaohui, and also invited people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War to participate.The third aunt of the Yuan family ridiculed Xiuru for her husband's family, but Yuan Shaohui pointed out that the Lin family used the wedding banquet to escort the prince and worked hard to perform meritorious services, so the honor was earned by themselves.

Jin Qi made it clear in front of the officials that Lan Xiang saved his life, and since he had the Enlin family, he would never take a concubine; if he did not have a son in the future, the title would be returned to the court.On the female side, the second wife only cried, and Lan Xiang supported Mother Lin to preside over the ceremony.Lin's mother proposed that if the Yuan family insisted on taking concubines, the Lin family would decide on the concubine to avoid further chaos in the inner house; the family property should also be divided equally among the children born to the main wife.

Mrs. Yuan refused to accept the second clause, but Yuan Shaohui said that if her son had the ability, he could earn it on his own, but if he didn't, he would not be able to hold on to his property and position no matter how much he had.Both parties finally took a step back, and the old lady agreed.Lan Xiang immediately took out the document and asked the mayor to witness it. Yuan Shaohui signed and deposited it without hesitation.Afterwards, Mother Lin reminded the Jinqi couple that Xiu Ru's persistence was not only about the relationship between the couple, but also about planning for several children. Don't blame her for this.
