After thinking about it, Mrs. Li and Father Shen also felt that it would be better to marry now as Shen Ming said.
It is better to receive a few indifferent words than to let Nana wait for another three years.
So, after morning court the next day, Shen Ming invited his brother-in-law Song Heng to his home.
The four of them avoided Princess Liufang and discussed in the courtyard where Mr. Li and Mr. Shen lived.
Mrs. Li told them what they were thinking, and originally thought that Song Heng would agree wholeheartedly. After all, their daughter had already suffered so many grievances, how could he bear to let her wait for another three years?
However, Song Heng remained silent.
Almost everyone in the imperial city knew that his mother was seriously ill. He had just died less than a year after his wife and child, so he wanted to remarry when his mother was seriously ill, and he had to have his spine broken.
Seeing that Song Heng was silent, Muna had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Why don't you want to?" Mrs. Li asked, feeling unhappy and frowning.
Song Heng said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that everyone knows that I just died less than a year after my wife and child, and my mother is seriously ill in bed, but I am thinking about getting a wife at this time. I'm afraid it won't sound good if it gets spread."
For the sake of his eldest daughter, he has heard too many words that hurt his spine, and he doesn't want to hear them anymore. People's words are terrible, and he cannot care less about their words.
"Is it possible that Nana has to wait another three years after your mother's death?" Ms. Li's tone was a little anxious. Thinking of the grievances and sufferings her poor daughter had suffered in the first and last few years, how could she not be anxious? ?
These words were not pleasant to hear and made Song Heng frown.
Although his mother does not have much time left, his mother-in-law is now talking about what happened after his mother's death. Hearing this makes him, a son, feel really uncomfortable.
Shen Ming also felt that his mother shouldn't speak like this, so he frowned and shook his head at her.
Seeing that Song Heng's face was not very good-looking, Mrs. Li realized that what she said was wrong, and explained with some embarrassment: "I was also anxious for a moment, and I spoke uncontrollably. Don't take it to heart."
"I understand." Song Heng said he understood, but he didn't feel much better in his heart.
Shen Ming said: "Brother-in-law is right. Marrying a wife at this time does not sound good, but as long as you find a suitable reason, no one will say anything."
What's the reason? Everyone looked at Shen Ming.
"To celebrate." This was what he had just thought of. He could also understand his brother-in-law's feeling of not wanting to be criticized and said unpleasant things. Then an idea struck him and he came up with the reason for celebrating.
It just so happened that Mrs. Liu was also ill, so it was most appropriate to marry her.
If outsiders knew that my brother-in-law married at this time to bring happiness to his mother, they would only sigh at his filial piety.
"That's right!" Ms. Li slapped her thigh, "Isn't it so happy that no one will say anything?"
"What do you think?" Father Shen looked at Song Heng calmly and asked.
Muna bit her lower lip and looked at Song Heng expectantly.
Facing Muna's expectant eyes, Song Heng sighed inwardly and nodded.
Seeing him nod, Muna immediately smiled.
Great, she can return to her home, her husband and her children soon.
Father Shen and Mrs. Li immediately went to look at the almanac. Shen Ming also excused himself as he had some things to deal with and went to the study, leaving his sister and brother-in-law a chance to be alone.
"Husband, let's go for a walk in the garden!" Muna said softly. It was only when no one was around that she could call Song Heng "husband."
Husband, when Song Heng heard these two words, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
The image of the man calling him "general" with a cold face flashed through his mind.
How could he regard her and "her" as the same person in the first place? They are obviously completely different.
