When Old Lady Xiao was about to arrive at the General’s Mansion, she asked her son and grandson to go back first.

She was supported by her two daughters-in-law and walked back slowly with red eyes.

Mrs. Wang was still holding medicine in her hand.

There were often performances at the General’s Mansion, and now the old lady’s eyes were red, and she looked weak.

When the family members living nearby saw her, some of them came forward to inquire with concern.

The old lady opposite, who had a good relationship with Old Lady Xiao, asked: “What’s wrong with you?”

Old Lady Xiao looked like she was hesitating to speak, “I, I went out to get some medicine.”

The old lady opposite was stunned: “Are you sick?”

Old Lady Xiao sighed: “No, it’s for my daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Wang on the side was a little confused. Wasn’t this medicine her son’s?

The old lady opposite had a very bad impression of Ge Chunru: “What’s wrong with your daughter-in-law?”

Old Lady Xiao walked over to her and said: “I’ll tell you, but don’t tell anyone else.”

She knew that this old lady couldn’t keep silent at all. Once the other party knows about it, everyone in the area will know about it.

The old lady opposite immediately cheered up and said: “Okay, I won’t tell anyone else.”

She’ll just tell to a few close friends.

Old Lady Xiao said: “When my daughter-in-law went to the village to worship our ancestors, she deliberately had a miscarriage.”

“Not long ago, her brother was expelled from the academy because of his bad character. He was originally assigned an errand by my son, but who knew that on the way there, he despised some businessmen, and his leg was cut off after a conflict.”

“My daughter-in-law was so anxious that she lost her newly conceived child again.”

She never said that Ge Chunru had a miscarriage because of them.

“My son asked the imperial doctor to see her. He said that my daughter-in-law’s consecutive miscarriages had injured her body. He is afraid that she may not be able to give birth to children in the future.”

The old lady opposite was surprised: “Ah, she can’t give birth?”

“She seems to be the only woman your son has.”

Old Lady Xiao frowned and said, “Yes, she can’t give birth to a child, but she doesn’t allow my son to touch other women.”

“I have to go to the doctor myself to get some nourishing medicine for her to take, but there is not much hope.”

“But she may not take it. She complained that I, her mother-in-law, was an eyesore before, so I will leave the capital in about half a month.”

The old lady opposite could not help but sympathize with Old Lady Xiao: “You have such an unfilial daughter-in-law.”

“She can’t give birth to a child herself, but she doesn’t allow your son to touch other women. This is to make your son unable to have any offspring.”

Old Lady Xiao said with red eyes: “That’s right, that’s why I’m worried about what my son will do after we leave!”

“Let him take some concubines. As a mother, it is only natural for you to take concubines for your son.”

The old lady opposite came up with an idea: “You go directly to find 2 innocent young ladies, who can give birth to children and bring them back to your son. When it comes to heirs, you can’t leave this to your daughter-in-law.”

She was secretly happy in her heart. Although her daughter-in-law was a mountain village woman, she was more virtuous and able to give birth to children.

Much better than the little fox in the General’s Mansion.

Old Lady Xiao said tangled: “Then won’t she blame me again?”

The old lady opposite said angrily: “You are her mother-in-law. If she wants to blame you, just ask your son to divorce her.”

“Being childless is a violation of the rule of a good wife.”

“If she dares to make trouble, come to us, and we will help you talk.”

Why does she keep such an unfilial and unvirtuous daughter-in-law?

Old Lady Xiao seemed to have made up her mind now: “Okay, for my son to have children in the future, I will provide him with a few concubines.”

“If my daughter-in-law wants to blame her, then blame me.”

The two of them talked for a few more words, and then Old Lady Xiao was supported by her daughter-in-law and returned to the general’s mansion.

The old lady opposite went to her close friend to talk about it.

Not long after, word spread that General Xiao’s wife could not have children and was not allowed to take concubines.

Everyone in the back house despised Ge Chunru. It was too much to not allow a man to have a concubine if she could not give birth to a child herself.

The men felt that Xiao Yuanshi pampered his young wife too much. He dared not take a concubine because his wife did not allow it, and he was too afraid of his wife.

Then they told their acquaintances about it. Within a few days, everyone in the court also knew about it.

Old Lady Xiao did not go to Ge Chunru’s yard immediately when she returned home.

Instead, she waited for Xiao Yuanshi to come back from the Yamen and go to have dinner with Ge Chunru, and then she took Xiao Dalang’s concubine, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face, to the courtyard.

Seeing Old Lady Xiao and others coming in with gloomy expressions, Xiao Yuanshi put down his chopsticks and had a bad feeling.

He already knew that they went to find his son this morning.

Now it seems that something was wrong.

“Father, Mother, why are you here?”

Old Lady Xiao looked at him and said: “We can’t come?”

Xiao Yuanshi immediately asked the maid to bring chairs for the old lady and the old man to sit on: “Of course, it can be done.”

Old Lady Xiao didn’t beat around the bush and said with a stern face: “Second Son, I’m here to settle accounts with your wife today.”

Xiao Yuanshi had a headache: “What’s going on?”

Ever since the Xiao Family came, he and his wife would quarrel. He couldn’t help but get irritated.

Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly: “Bring that little bitch in.”

After she finished speaking, Xiao Dalang grabbed her concubine’s hair, pulled her in, and kicked her to the ground.

He looked at Ge Chunru with a bit of hatred in his eyes: “Second Aunt, I will return your people to you.”

Ge Chunru’s originally indifferent expression changed slightly when she saw the woman on the ground.

“Dalang, what do you mean by this? Isn’t this your concubine? What does it have to do with me?”

Xiao Dalang sneered: “You arranged for her to sell herself to bury her father, let this woman seduce me, and passed on the disease she had to me. I know all about it.”

“Did I dig your ancestral graves or kill your whole family for you to harm me like this?”

He wanted to go up and give this stinky woman some mouthfuls, but because his second uncle was here, he couldn’t do it.

Ge Chunru was shocked. She didn’t expect Xiao Dalang and others to know about it.

She looked at the woman on the ground.

The other person covered her swollen face and shook her head slightly at her. She didn’t mean what she said.

Ge Chunru breathed a sigh of relief and said: “She is not mine, please don’t accuse me wrongly.”

“You shameless fox, don’t think that we can’t do anything to you if you don’t admit it.”

When Old Lady Xiao saw Ge Chunru’s appearance, she was so filled with hatred that she couldn’t help but rush forward, grab her hair, and slap her twice, “You little bitch, you harm my grandson.”

“You are a vicious vixen, no wonder you keep having miscarriages, and you will never be able to have children in the future. This is totally retribution.”

“A hen that can’t lay eggs, but you don’t allow my son to take concubines. Who do you think you are?”

Then she was slapped several more times until Ge Chunru’s hair came loose and her face became swollen.

Mrs. Wang couldn’t hold it back and rushed forward.

She punched Ge Chunru in the stomach a few times and said: “You bitch, you hurt my son, I will fight you.”

Since she can’t give birth to a child, she doesn’t need to have any in the future.

The speed of the two of them was so fast that Xiao Yuanshi didn’t even react immediately.

By the time he pulled the old lady and Mrs. Wang away, his beloved wife had already been beaten badly.
