Chapter 308 Shadow's Haruka's Statement
Seeing Xu Yuexi's confused expression and thinking about her "special" situation, Tang Liuqing explained it to her in detail.
I have to say, no matter which world Tang Liuqing is from, he is always so attentive and considerate to Xu Yuexi.
After listening to Tang Liuqing's explanation, Xu Yuexi realized that the requirements for men in this fantasy were much more cruel than in reality.
Although this is still a world ruled by men, due to the serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women, the positions of men and women have undergone earth-shaking changes, and women are now superior to men.
In this context, women or wives have absolute say at home, and men must serve their wives well and act according to their wishes. If a man does something to hurt a woman, he will be beaten with a stick at the least, or imprisoned at the worst.
Here, each family consists of a wife and her multiple husbands. They live together under the same roof, and the husband is responsible for managing household affairs. He not only takes care of the daily life of the wife and other husbands, but also manages household chores, handles family relationships, etc.
The system of husbands and concubines here is very strict, and the boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate children are very clear.
The main husband has the highest status and can participate in family decision-making; the side husband has a lower status than the main husband and can assist the main husband in handling household chores. The status of the servant is relatively low, but he can also be loved and cared for by his wife. This system ensures a reasonable distribution of power in the family and avoids unnecessary disputes.
When a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth, the child of the husband she married will be raised by that husband. The child of the principal husband is called the legitimate son, and the child of the concubine husband and the concubine husband is called the illegitimate son. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons is very clear, so that everyone can know their status and better fulfill their respective responsibilities.
When the child grows up and gets married, he must serve his wife wholeheartedly and never leave her. In life, he is the wife's man, and in death, he is the wife's ghost!
If you are abandoned by your wife, the consequences will be miserable.
Even if, as Xu Yuexi said, the fault lies with the woman, people will not blame the woman but only the man.
Those men who were abandoned by their wives or returned home after divorce might be spurned and exiled by their families at best, or secretly executed by their families at worst, and even their fathers might not be spared.
The situation may be slightly better for ordinary families.
But if one is born into a prominent family, in order to avoid bringing shame to the family and affecting other men in the family from getting married, the abandoned man really has no choice but to go his own way.
As the crown princes of a country, Xu Yuexi's concubines are role models for men in the country. The world has higher expectations and stricter requirements for them.
If they choose to leave, it will not only be a personal matter. It will be equivalent to smearing the entire country and making their country lose face in front of other countries. Not only that, their behavior may also cause their country to suffer ridicule and mockery from other countries.
Once they return home after the divorce, they will become the target of public criticism, and will be subject to pressure and accusations from all sides. They may even lose the qualification to inherit the throne, be despised by the people, and fall into an irretrievable situation.
After Xu Yuexi understood it, her heart skipped a beat. This setting of the God is really a bit cruel to men! But it is very friendly to women. Haha, she likes it!
Thinking of what she had just said, Xu Yuexi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know the situation was like this. How about I take back what I said just now?"
"puff!"
Prince Ying Zhiyao of Fengying Kingdom couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Xu Yuexi said. The princess in front of him was a little cute. Could she take back what she said?
In fact, he likes the current princess better than the previous one who ignored him and was only interested in her master!
The princess is now more lively and active, full of vitality and energy, and treats them, the concubines, in a friendly manner. Most importantly, she is willing to bear children for them, which is what they have always dreamed of!
You know, as a concubine, whether he can have his own children often depends on the decision of his wife. Now that she has such a wish, it is undoubtedly a great thing for them, the concubines.
This meant that they would have the possibility to continue their bloodline and pass on the family line. This hope made him extremely excited and expectant, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.
Therefore, Ying Zhiyao seized the opportunity and quickly expressed his position.
"Princess, since I have married you, you are my wife no matter what, and I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
