She refused at first because it was wrong to lie to others...
However, the Hosokawa family had saved her life after all, and...all the upper echelons of the family knelt in front of her, facing the gray-haired grandfather and the sobbing woman. After struggling for a day, she
, finally chose to compromise.
From this, this farce of substitute marriage emerged.
It's just that she often feels something is wrong in her heart until now, because lies cannot last forever. Sooner or later, they will be exposed. It's just a matter of time...
Regarding this point, the Hosokawa family has obviously thought of it, and their "solution" is -
"Mrs. Jingji, I heard that Lord Tobirama has been living in the same room with you and even sleeping on the same bed with you every night since your marriage?"
"...Yes." Uchiha nodded slightly, "Sorry, I..." Before marriage, everything a wife needs to do after marriage was taught by the person in front of her. Therefore, at this moment, she violated the other party's instructions.
She was slightly apologetic as she told her.
"...No, this is a good thing." Mrs. Hosokawa comforted her in a low voice. Even so, her heart was inevitably sad - if her daughter Shizuki could survive and successfully marry Lord Tobirama, then she would enjoy this life.
The person she loves so much should be her biological daughter. If so, how wonderful it would be...
I really didn't expect that Lord Tobirama looked cold, but he was actually not cold-hearted.
For women like them, what they can show off most to each other after marriage, and what is most enviable, is that "my husband still spends nights with me after many years of marriage. No matter whether he goes to find another woman or not, he will definitely come back at night."
"...
But that's it.
The girl in front of me was easily obtained. Although I don't know how long it will last, at least for now, Lord Tobirama is doting on her.
Mrs. Hosokawa has also heard people say that the Senju family has a very upright family tradition, and the head of the family generally does not easily marry a concubine, nor does he raise a concubine outside the home.
This is good.
As for flower streets and the like, that's out of the question. What man doesn't like new things? It's better to go to places like that occasionally than to keep other women around to have children.
So the most important thing right now is...
She continued: "I heard that you have menstruation every month after your marriage?"
"...Yes." Uchiha nodded again, "The latest one just passed."
"That is to say..." Mrs. Hosokawa sighed, "I have never been able to get pregnant..."
Uchiha: "..." She lowered her head, "I'm sorry..." Although she felt that she had no reason to apologize, but since the other party showed such a troubled expression, she might as well apologize first so that the conversation could go through smoothly.
…
"While you are still young, you should get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to an heir for Tobirama-sama." Mrs. Hosokawa advised, "In this way, he will favor you more, your status will be more stable, and our Hosokawa family will...
…”
"……oh."
"This..." Mrs. Hosokawa took out a folded note from her sleeve and handed it to the girl in front of her.
"What is this?" Uchiha took it with confusion.
"I specially asked someone to get the 'secret recipe for childbirth'. It is said that if you drink a bowl before... every time, you will get pregnant quickly, and it will definitely be a boy."
"..." Uchiha unfolded the note and took a look at it. Although she couldn't understand it, she just felt that there were a lot of medicinal ingredients. She frowned slightly and asked, "Is it necessary?" She intuitively felt that it was not good to take medicine when she was not sick.
"Mrs. Shizuki." Mrs. Hosokawa sighed slightly and said again, "Women are different from men. Men gain status by fighting for their lives and making contributions on the battlefield, while women can only rely on their husband's favor and children. And compared to
"From the former, the latter is what you can really hold in your hands." And according to the family tradition of the Senju family, if the girl in front of him really gives birth to Lord Tobirama's child, even if everything is exposed...he will be older.
There is a chance that they will choose to continue the marriage because they do not want to harm their children. In this way, the situation of the Hosokawa family should not be greatly affected.
"...I understand." Uchiha pursed his lips and said softly.
"That's good." Mrs. Hosokawa was keenly aware of the complex mood of the woman in front of her, and comforted her in a low voice, "Please don't worry too much. I am doing this... although it is for the Hosokawa family, but it is also true.
For your own good. No matter what, you should have a child as soon as possible to show your worth. Only in this way can you be loved forever..."
"...Is the value of being a wife just the favor of her husband and her children?"
"yes."
"..."
Even though he lost his memory, the Uchiha still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment, and he didn't want to quarrel with the person in front of him, so he forced himself to endure it.
Soon after, Mrs. Hosokawa left.
Uchiha sat in the room in a daze until...
She heard some footsteps.
She raised her head subconsciously, then knelt down and walked to the door, only to see Qianju Qianse walking from a distance.
"Sister Chise?" She looked at the other party and asked in surprise, "Why are there only you, Xiaohe and Sachiko?"
Senju Chise smiled and replied: "Hashirama-sama is rarely free, so he said he wanted to lead them in training."
"Soga..."
"It's really..." Senju Chise showed a helpless expression, "Forget it Kazuya, Sachiko's talent is not that good and she is a girl. Lord Hashirama himself said that he does not expect her to become a ninja. In this case, let her simply
Wouldn't it be better if you stay with me and study? If you run around and make trouble like this, it would be bad if you leave scars."
Uchiha belt: "..."
She has heard that not all women from ninja families will become ninjas. In fact, due to physiological factors and the influence of social atmosphere, there are only a handful of strong female ninjas. The daughters of most ninja families will become the family's "marriage weight."
, or used to recruit powerful foreign aid. Among them, some girls are allowed to learn some ninjutsu, but more like "Hosokawa Shizuhime" will receive "bridal training" from an early age so that they can become brides without losing the family's face in the future.
"The Good Wife".
After thinking for a while, she replied: "I think it would be better for girls to have some ability to protect themselves. Brother Hashirama, I guess you think so too."
Qianju Qianshi smiled, without commenting on this, and asked: "I see that you are a little unhappy. Is it because the weather is too hot and you feel uncomfortable? If so, I have some..."
"...No." Uchiha shook his head, raised his eyes and looked directly at the woman kneeling elegantly in front of her, and asked softly, "Sister Chise, what is the meaning of a wife...?"
Qianju Qianse showed a surprised expression: "Jingji, why do you suddenly ask like this?"
"..."
"Well..." Senju Chise looked at the bright eyes of the girl opposite, thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Assist your husband, take care of the family, reproduce, and educate the children... that's about it."
"...Is that all?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"But, in this case, it's like living entirely for your husband and children, what about yourself?" Uchiha Ouzi didn't understand. It's not impossible for people to live for others, but oneself is the most important, right?
"Myself?" Senju Chise was stunned for a moment, then covered her lips and smiled, "Shizuji, living like this, I am satisfied enough by myself, because I have fulfilled my wife's duties very well, Hashirama-sama
My family and I are very happy with it.”
"..." Why is this enough to satisfy...
"Jingji, what's wrong with you?" Qianju Qianse, who felt something was wrong, asked again, "Normally you wouldn't ask these questions."
"..." After Uchiha was silent for a while, he replied, "Just now... my mother came here and asked me to give birth to a child for my husband as soon as possible."
"Um..." Senju Chise subconsciously asked, "What's your menstrual period this month..."
"Just finished."
"It has been three months since you and Tobirama-sama got married." Senju Chise thought for a while and replied, "I think your mother is right. If possible, try to give birth to Tobirama-sama's third child as soon as possible."
A child. If it's a boy, that would be great."
She said this sincerely, without any malice, and even with good intentions.
Compared to her younger brother, Senju Hashirama, who is of Mudun bloodline, got married very early and is now in her sixth year. And she only got pregnant and gave birth to her husband's child in the second year after marriage. For this reason
, she endured great pressure during that year - both the Thousand Hands Clan and her family were eager for the birth of this child.
Fortunately, He is a boy.
The moment he was born smoothly, she really felt that it was worth dying even if she died immediately - because she finally fulfilled her duties perfectly.
She uses herself to save others, and she does not want her sister-in-law to bear the same pressure as she did at that time.
"...But this kind of thing," Uchiha muttered, "I can't do it by working hard alone, right? Having no children after marriage is not necessarily a woman's problem, right? Maybe it's a man's problem." What if.
If you really haven’t had a child for a long time, you should both get checked out, right?
"...Jingji, be careful what you say." Qianju Qianse reminded, "It's okay to say this kind of thing in front of me, but never say it to other people, you know?"
"……oh."
Qianju Qianse looked at the overly naive and simple girl in front of her and sighed slightly in her heart: Jingji still doesn't understand what she will face if she never gives birth to a child. And even if she has already given birth to Hashirama-sama,
She has a son and a daughter, and the clan is not particularly satisfied with her because... she only has two children in six years, and there is no sign of her third pregnancy yet. The efficiency is really low.
especially……
She pursed her lips.
Kazu's talent is the same as Sachiko's, not particularly good.
From what people in the clan said, not to mention Hashirama-sama, even compared to Hashirama-sama's brothers of the same age back then, they are far inferior, and the possibility of inheriting Mudun is very slim.
Lord Hashirama is so amazing and talented, and he is also the leader of the Senju clan. If his child is not talented enough, it will be a tragedy...
Because of this, everyone is looking forward to her having a second son, a third son, a fourth son for Lord Hashirama as soon as possible... the more, the better.
only……
Qianju Qianshi's hand unconsciously touched his lower abdomen, and he thought to himself: He drinks all kinds of decoctions and medicines, and he devoutly believes in gods and Buddhas every day, so why is there still nothing...
