Chapter 937 - 933: Saying Goodbye to Grandmother
Mrs. Dong, dressed in mourning clothes, followed behind, full of tears, supported by her sisters-in-law, as they slowly proceeded.
No matter what, the Eldest Princess was a good mother-in-law, beyond doubt.
The Eldest Princess never made her daughters-in-law adhere to strict rules in her presence, as their husbands were often away at war. Upon their return, the Duke would arrange for women to be with his sons, hoping they could expand the Bai family’s lineage and provide more talents for the Jin Kingdom in the short time they were home.
Later, it was still the Eldest Princess who stopped him, and then the Duke realized... he solemnly called his daughters-in-law to him, apologized for his oversight, and admitted he hurt their feelings. Even his sons complained about him as their father.
He was solely focused on laying the groundwork for the Jin Kingdom’s future unification, and noble families, unwilling to send their children to the battlefield, were also like this. The Duke could only look for solutions within his family.
He was a man who most often couldn’t understand women, thinking that as long as the illegitimate sons and daughters did not meet their biological mothers, and concubines remained confined to a small courtyard for life, his daughters-in-law wouldn’t be sad. He forgot that the deeper the relationship between a husband and wife, the less a wife would want to share her husband.
Afterwards, the King of Zhen no longer arranged concubines for his sons.
When the Bai family’s ladies heard about this, everyone praised the Eldest Princess as a good mother-in-law.
Mrs. Dong dared not say the Eldest Princess treated her daughters-in-law like her own daughters, but certainly did not cause trouble or make things difficult.
Her first child was Kid. Mrs. Dong’s nurse was worried, fearing that the Duke of Zhen’s family would look down upon Mrs. Dong for having a daughter. But... the Eldest Princess and the King of Zhen personally gave her the nickname Kid, using the Bai family’s generational "Qing" character for naming. They celebrated for three days, showed her extreme favoritism, and even Kids’ younger siblings Ah Luo and A Qiong couldn’t surpass her.
