Even that so-called "inner strength" did not spring up overnight.
It grew gradually over ti; at first, he didn’t even realize anything was amiss, and he used to think he was just an ordinary person.
However, there was no need to say these words, nor did he need to defend himself.
Because he was wrong, that is a fact. It is indeed true that he did not tell her about his situation right away.
Even though at the beginning, it was because their relationship wasn’t as deep as it is now, and he considered it his own issue, unrelated to her. At that ti, he hadn’t developed feelings for her and felt no need to confess everything to her.
But later, he continued to hide it, and that was where he went wrong.
Shu Yu pressed her lips together, then slowly lifted the hem, and his knees gradually descended.
He was a man with pride in his bones, pride hidden within his heart, buried in his soul. Many tis, he would rather break his bones than bow to anyone, unwilling to bend his back. But now, he knelt down.
"In Dayuan, there is a rule, recorded in the Husband Rules, which states that if a husband makes a mistake, the severity of the punishnt depends on the case. Severe cases lead to discharge from service, while minor cases are dealt with by the wife. This ti, Shu Yu was wrong, so he kneels in place of punishnt. If the wife still cannot forgive, whether it be a slap, a whipping, or a rod, as long as it vents the wife’s anger and makes her even a little happier, Shu Yu is willing to accept the punishnt."
Dong Huiying felt very downcast.
Yi Ran opened his mouth wide, utterly incredulous, looking as if he’d seen a ghost, because this was really...
A person like Shu Yu, kneeling to a woman?
Even if the woman is his wife, but, but... it’s still hard to accept?
Yi Ran’s eye twitched.
Dong Huiying quietly observed Shu Yu for a long mont.
"There’s sothing I’ve always wanted to say, wanted to say for a long ti. You brothers, just continue like this. If life can go on, let it. If it really can’t, just end it. You, one, two, three, four of you, always like this. Trust? The foundation of marriage is trust. I’m very tired, but I can still endure. But if one day, if I don’t want to endure anymore, have you thought about it?"
Shu Yu’s face turned slightly pale, "Dayuan..." He started, but was interrupted by his wife.
Dong Huiying calmly said, "It was my narrow-mindedness. My view was too limited, confined within these rules, bound by those regulations, not daring to step out of line. But a year ago, when Zhi Chen disappeared, Yixuan left, Haoming also went missing. At that ti, I was about to turn twenty. According to the current laws, if a woman hasn’t married by twenty, or hasn’t married at least five husbands, the official matchmaker intervenes."
"At that ti, at ho, among you brothers, only three were left. You, Shujun, Yue Ning, only the three of you were by my side."
"Before Yixuan left, he left a marriage letter written by him. He seed to think that just with this letter, we could register at the Departnt of Surveillance, but as you saw."
"After Yixuan left, before my twentieth birthday, I did go to the Departnt of Surveillance. I went, but the marriage letter wasn’t sufficient, because the rules changed; it required the person involved to be present."
"What situation were we facing at that ti? That I had to marry a few more people to reach the required number! But I figured out a way and successfully passed that hurdle. This experience taught a lesson."
