Chapter 388 It is better to give him two concubines
The word 'again' is really cleverly used. Previously, Gu You was getting married, and Jiang Zeyun felt painful in his heart, but his sweetheart was getting married, and there was nothing he could do.
But later, King Huainan kidnapped his bride again. Gu You's reputation was ruined, and for some reason, he didn't marry into Prince Huainan's palace. So Jiang Zeyun had another idea and wanted to marry Gu You.
As an equal wife.
What is an equal wife?
The idea is that if the main wife is still there, but she is not liked by her husband's family and cannot manage affairs, then she marries another woman to come back to preside over the affairs of the palace and manage the affairs of the house. Although such a person is a concubine, she is still named the wife.
Such a thing has never happened since the establishment of Dongming. No matter how much you pamper your concubine, you would not dare to put her in such a position. That is to say, there were such precedents in those ridiculous aristocratic families in the previous dynasty.
Where did Jiang Zeyun put her by doing this?
For this reason, Gu Xiang felt a lot of panic and anger in his heart. If Gu You really entered the Wu'an Hou Mansion, there would be no place for her.
Every time she thought about this, she couldn't sleep at night, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.
There are absolutely no things in this world that should be done. You should not marry a man who loves her deeply in your heart. If you do, it may be the beginning of a lifetime of misfortune.
If she had found a poor student to marry, her life might have been harder, but she probably wouldn't have had so much suffering in her heart.
Nowadays, she can feel a little at ease only by touching her belly and feeling the presence of her child.
Fortunately, Jiang Zeyun proposed to marry Gu You as an equal wife, but Wu'anhou and his wife did not agree. When he went to talk to Gu Zhixuan, Gu Zhixuan did not agree either, and even had him beaten.
From then on, Jiang Zeyun fell in love with drinking. He would get drunk every time he went out, as if he just wanted to stay drunk and not wake up.
"Young Madam, the people around the Crown Prince are asking where to send the Crown Prince?" the visitor asked again.
Gu Xiang came to his senses and said, "Send him to the east chamber."
He was so drunk that he smelled of alcohol all over his body. Gu Xiang didn't want to let him enter the main room's bedroom, so as not to inflame himself.
When the visitor took the order and went forward, Gu You also heard Jiang Zeyun shouting something in the yard.
"Ayou, I'm sorry for you!"
"Ayou, you want to marry me! You obviously want to marry me!"
When Gu Xiang heard this, her face became much uglier, and her heart became completely cold. She sat quietly for a while, and then asked her maid to help her go to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Wu Anhou.
Mrs. Wu'anhou was originally very dissatisfied with Gu Xiang and loved to find fault with her. But since she became pregnant, Mrs. Wu'anhou's face was like a cold rainy day turning into a sunny day.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Xiang sat down on a rose armchair to the right of Mrs. Wu'an Hou, touched his stomach and said, "I feel a little bored. Let's go out for a walk."
Mrs. Wu'anhou is in charge of the house, and she can hide any troubles in the house from her. Naturally, she knows that Jiang Zeyun came back drunk again. Thinking of Jiang Zeyun's daily drinking to relieve his sorrows, Mrs. Wu'anhou becomes even more resentful towards Changninghou's house.
Since the marriage was arranged in the past and her son had feelings for Gu You again, Gu You actually ran away from the marriage and asked Gu Xiang to marry him instead, so that her son could not find a woman he liked.
If you don't want to marry, you should have told me earlier, right?
Gu Xiang thought for a while, carefully weighed the words and said: "Mother-in-law, when A-Xiang came here today, I actually have something to discuss with my mother-in-law. You also know the prince's current situation..."
Mrs. Wu Anhou looked over sharply. Gu Xiang was stuck for a moment and could not continue.
Mrs. Wu Anhou took a sip of tea and suppressed her anger: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Xiang said: "My daughter-in-law just thinks that now that she is inconvenient and can't serve her husband well, it's better to give him a concubine with two rooms."
"Oh? Taking a concubine?" Mrs. Wu'an Hou looked at Gu You with some surprise. She actually wanted to take a concubine for her husband. Is this the sun coming out in the west?
Gu Xiang took a breath, and then said: "I know that my husband only has the eldest sister in his heart, but now that he has married me, there will be no more fate in this life, but he misses the eldest sister in his heart, and there is no way to continue like this."
"It's better...it's better to find two girls whose temperaments are somewhat similar to the eldest sister's and make them his concubines. Maybe they can fulfill his wishes and take his heart back in the future."
Gu Xiang thought about it and could only think of this way to let Jiang Zeyun take his mind back and not focus on Gu You. She would rather have two more concubines in the family than Jiang Zeyun marry Gu You back in the future.
Moreover, there is no solution for Jiang Zeyun to continue like this. After all, he is the heir to the Wu'an Hou Mansion. If Jiang Zeyun is not good, it will not be good for Gu Xiang.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou's mind suddenly moved, and she was not stupid. There was no way she would let Gu You in.
Not to mention that Gu You's reputation is now bad, there is also a rumor of 'Tianfeng's destiny', who dares to marry her? Who dares to make her a concubine?
Moreover, the family has already married a Gu Xiang, so it is impossible to bring Gu You into the house again. They are both sisters and concubines. There was a case of escaping from the marriage before and taking a substitute marriage. Isn't that a mess?
Will there be any peaceful days in the future?
If finding two concubines would reassure his son, forget about Gu You and live a peaceful life, it seems good.
Mrs. Wu Anhou couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiang, feeling that her brain was of some use after all, and then said: "What you said makes some sense. In this case, I will go find the person."
"Wait a minute." Gu Xiang suddenly spoke again, lowered his head and touched his belly, and then said, "Mother-in-law, I also have a request. Even if this person comes in, I can't let them get pregnant for the time being."
"After I give birth, if I give birth to boys, I won't care about them. Since they are the crown prince, it is also their duty to spread the branches and leaves for the crown prince. But if they give birth to girls, they will have to wait until I give birth to my eldest son before they can get pregnant.
"
Even if you want to take a concubine, you still need to give birth to the eldest son before you can get pregnant, so as to ensure the orthodox status of the eldest son. Unless the main wife has not had any children for many years, then the concubine is allowed to get pregnant first.
"That's natural." Mrs. Wu Anhou naturally agreed. No matter how much she didn't like Gu Xiang, she didn't want to give birth to a concubine's eldest son. Otherwise, the family would definitely be in chaos in the future.
She hopes to have more grandchildren, but she also hopes that her family will be peaceful.
Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mrs. Wu Anhou agreed, then stood up to say goodbye and left. When he returned to the yard, he arranged a concubine to take care of Jiang Zeyun.
Previously, Jiang Zeyun had two wives, and after Gu Xiang got married, they took her as his aunt.
Jiang Zeyun planned to send these two people away, but later they stayed because they were not married to Gu You. When Gu Xiang learned about this, he felt very resentful.
But now she has looked away.
"Young Madam really wants to take a concubine for the Crown Prince?"
