Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

The so-called separation of property means that when the relationship between the couple breaks down and they cannot reconcile, under the auspices of the families of both parties, the man will provide a house for the woman to live in, and the two parties will still be husband and wife in name.

If both parties have children, their status remains unchanged and they can choose who to live with. The man must provide for the woman, but if the woman is unwilling, the man cannot force the woman to perform the conjugal ceremony. To put it bluntly, it is a marriage in name only. On the surface, it looks no different from a divorce. In fact, the woman is imprisoned in disguise. Although the man does not marry a real wife, the concubine will not be less.

In the final analysis, the separation of property and separation still safeguards the interests of men. Even so, it has to be said that in some places it can be regarded as a kind of protection for the status of women and their children.

In the feudal era, if a woman who abandoned her husband had children, the man's family would not let them take away their children. The fate of a divorced woman is even worse. Even her dowry will be kept at her ex-husband's house.

Even her family will be unable to support her because of a divorced woman, and the marriages of the sisters in the family will also be affected. Therefore, many families will not let their women return home even if they let them die in their husband's house.

Women are like duckweed without roots.

Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Wutong Courtyard

Lin Jiu was sitting on a Taishi chair. Next to the chair was a small square table with a glass cup on it, and the glass cup contained a cup of blood-red liquid.

A woman with disheveled hair was kneeling directly in front of Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu looked at the woman kneeling in front of her coldly.

"Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, and every string and column reminds me of my good years." Lin Jiu walked up to the woman and raised her chin with his index finger, "You are Jinse."

Fear flashed in Jinse's eyes, and she guarded her stomach with her hands.

Lin Jiu stood up with a sneer, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, "Mommy Yu, bring a few people to invite the prince to come over. In this situation, how can the prince be absent?"

Nanny Yu, who was standing next to Lin Jiu, whispered: "Yes, I will invite the prince to come over now."

After a while, Chen Shang was forcibly escorted by a group of guards and sat on the Taishi chair nearby.

"Ah! Your Majesty, save me, Your Majesty, please save our child." When Jinse saw Chen Shang, hope burst out in her eyes.

Lin Jiu raised the glass cup in his hand, and the blood-red liquid swayed gently in the cup: "Master, your beloved is asking you for help? Do you want to save her?"

As soon as something happened to the original owner, Chen Shang was punished by the Lin brothers. Although his father was a marquis, he didn't even dare to fart in front of Lin Shangshu. During this period of time, he was frequently targeted in the Hanlin Academy. Only now did he understand the difference between having power and having no power.

Nowadays, the Lin family is in the ascendant and has a good reputation both in the court and among the common people. On the other hand, the Chen family, although it is a marquis family, is not even as good as an ordinary official family.

Chen Shang doesn't dare to confront Lin Jiu now.

Chen Shang immediately knelt down in front of Lin Jiu and said, "Madam, all this is the fault of that cheap servant. She should be beaten or killed. It is up to Madam to deal with her."

Lin Jiu smiled and said: "The prince is willing to let such a beauty pass away like this."

"She's just a cheap servant. As long as the lady is happy, you can cut her into pieces." Chen Shang said nonchalantly.

Jinse looked at Chen Shang in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel. Didn't you say that you loved Jinse the most? Didn't you say that you would straighten Jinse up after the eldest lady died? If not, Jinse would have Even if you have a thousand guts, you wouldn’t dare to attack the eldest lady.”

"Shut up." Chen Shang glared at Jin Se fiercely, "Madam, don't believe this bastard's nonsense."

Lin Jiu looked at Jinse who was kneeling on the ground funny, "Jinse, don't you know that I can't be righted?"

"Master, you lied to me." Jinse looked at Chen Shang with red eyes.

"That's because you're stupid."

"Chunfeng, do you know how to grow grapes so that the grapes will be big, red and sweet?" Lin Jiu ignored the two people biting the dog and instead talked and laughed with his maid.

"This slave doesn't know."

Lin Jiu lazily gathered the shawl around her body: "It's very simple, just give them more meat."

"Eating meat? Master, have you never heard that grapes also eat meat?" Chunfeng looked at Lin Jiu in confusion.

Lin Jiu smiled and said: "In fact, not only grapes, but other flowers and trees also need to eat meat. But grapes are still different from them, that is, they prefer to drink blood water. The redder the blood water, the better the grapes will grow. The fruits produced will be bigger and redder.”

Chunfeng looked at Lin Jiu with starry eyes: "Master, are you telling the truth? No wonder the grapes planted by Chunfeng are sour. It turns out that it is because there is no blood water."

Lin Jiu smiled and said, "I lied to you!"

Chunfeng smiled and said: "Master, you are teasing Chunfeng again."

"Madam, please spare your life, Madam, please spare your life, Jinse doesn't dare to do it anymore, just spare Jinse!" The conversation between Lin Jiu and Chunfeng made Jinse feel horrified.

She didn't want to die or be used as fertilizer, so she kept begging for mercy.

Lin Jiu ignored these. Although the original owner left because he did not want to continue to struggle with these people, it did not mean that the original owner wanted Jinse and the child in her belly to live. The reason why she left happily was because she knew that her family would take care of Jinse for her.

"Lin Jiu, I curse you. I curse you to never be favored by the prince." Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, Jin Se began to curse Lin Jiu again.

Lin Jiu walked up to Jin Se and laughed softly: "It's just a rotten cucumber. You think I would be indifferent to it."

"Lin Jiuniang..." Chen Shang looked at Lin Jiu in anger.

Lin Jiu didn't even give him a look: "Mommy, I'm tired, let's send her on her way!"

"Chunfeng, Xiayu, help the county master go back to his room to rest." Nanny Yu waved her hand, and someone immediately brought a bowl of medicine to Jinse and drank it. After it was confirmed that Jinse was dead, she was dragged out and buried.

Chen Shang watched his beloved concubine die in front of him, not even daring to say a word.

"Your Majesty, our county master still needs to recuperate, so we won't entertain your Majesty."

Chen Shang staggered out of the yard.

When Grandma Yu saw Chen Shang leaving, she immediately had the courtyard closed and ordered no one to disturb the county master's rest.

Back in the bedroom, the maid Qiu Yue immediately brought a bowl of medicine: "Master, it's time to take medicine."

Lin Jiu frowned and took the medicine bowl. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the soup, he drank the medicine. Seeing Lin Jiu drink the medicine, Qiuyue handed over a candied fruit: "Master, take a candied fruit to sweeten your mouth."

Lin Jiu waved her hand and said she didn't need it. After taking the medicine, Lin Jiu felt a little sleepy. She said to the girls: "I'll take a nap first. Remember to call me when mother comes."
