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. 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 within a year of 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?"
Li was unhappy and asked with a frown.
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 had already heard too many words that hurt his spine, and he didn't want to hear them again.
People's words are terrible, and he cannot ignore them.
"Is it possible that Nana needs to wait another three years after your mother's death?"
Li's tone was a little anxious.
Thinking of her poor daughter, the grievances and sufferings she suffered in the first few years and these 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 see."
Song Heng said he understood, but he didn't feel much better in his heart.
Shen Ming said: "Brother-in-law is right. It is indeed unpleasant to have a wife at this time, but as long as you find a suitable reason, no one will say anything."
What reason?
Everyone looked at Shen Ming.
"Happy."
This was something he 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 happiness.
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.
"yes!"
Li slapped her thigh and said, "Isn't it so happy that no one will say anything?"
"What do you think?"
Father Shen looked at Song Heng with a calm face 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 went to the study room on the pretext that he still had something to deal with, 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, only when no one was around could she call Song Heng her 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?
