When Xia Lu was forty-five years old,
She suddenly heard news from her maternal family,
They said that Xia Ji's wife was not well. As the eldest sister-in-law, Xia Lu naturally hurried back to visit her.
"Eldest Sister-In-Law, you're here."
When the members of the Jiang Clan saw Xia Lu, they only felt ashamed. Eldest Sister-In-Law was so good to their family,
But she did not abide by the virtues of a wife,
She actually coveted her eldest uncle. It was really despicable.
"Why is she so sick?" Her sister-in-law was only in her early forties,
Even at this time,
She could be considered to have died young. Why was she so sick that she could not get out of bed? His entire body was extremely thin.
It was really heartbreaking.
"The doctor said that it was a mental illness," Xia Ji also felt helpless. He had asked many times,
But his wife just did not say what she was worried about. The longer she stayed, the worse her health became. Now, she was terminally ill.
He still did not like the Jiang Family, but..,
He still let the Jiang Family's mother-in-law and sister-in-law come to stay at the residence for two months,
To accompany his wife,
However, there was still no effect. Xia Ji suspected that someone had done something to his wife. He even took his wife to the temple to have a look, but he didn't see anything. He told his wife not to worry too much. However, what could his wife be thinking about? Xia Ji didn't want his wife to think too much.
The Jiang Family had already settled down in the capital, and the eldest brothers of the Jiang Family had also found a job. Da Lang and Er Lang were also old. Although their studies were not as good as their sister's children, they were not bad. With the guidance of a famous teacher, they could at least pass the provincial examination. When the time came, they would not continue to take the examination. Whether it was to ask their brother-in-law to help them run the business, it would not be a problem for them to be a small official or open a school. At that time, they would be able to support themselves. He really did not understand what his wife had to worry about.
"How did she get a mental illness?" Xia Lu frowned. To put it simply, a mental illness was too much worry. It was easy to get depression. Once you got depression, it was not easy to get better.
"I don't know. Logically speaking, she has nothing to worry about." Xia Ji did not understand.
Xia Lu thought about the age of the Jiang Clan. They were about to reach menopause. However, menopause only meant that they had a bad temper. They shouldn't be overly worried.
"Elder Sister, can I talk to you alone?" Jiang Clan asked pitifully.
"Of course." Xia Lu quickly nodded and said to Xia Ji, "You can go out. I want to talk to your wife."
"Okay." Xia Ji turned and left, leaving the room to his sister and wife.
"They all went down. What do you want to say?" Xia Lu asked softly.
Jiang Clan looked at Xia Lu with tears in her eyes. Just as Xia Lu was about to find a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Jiang Clan suddenly got up and knelt on the bed. She said, "Elder Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please hit me. It's all my fault."
"What's wrong? Lie down quickly. You haven't recovered yet." Xia Lu was shocked and quickly helped Jiang Clan to lie down.
"No, no, let me finish." Jiang Clan grabbed Xia Lu's arm and quickly refused.
Xia Lu was helpless. "Okay, tell me. What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not a good wife. I'm not a good mother. I'm a sinner. Do you know that? I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, sister, you have to believe me, I really can't control myself, I can't control myself, I can't stop thinking about the count, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. "
Listening to Jiang Clan's nonsense, Xia Lu understood that her sister-in-law seemed to have developed some kind of indecent feelings for her Husband. No wonder she was so worried that she couldn't get out of bed. She couldn't tell anyone about this kind of feelings that couldn't be seen in the light of day. She could only bear it silently by herself. She couldn't even confide in her mother and sister-in-law. After all, in this era, the status of women was like this. It was not like the modern era, where even if they were married or had a boyfriend, they could still call the male stars on TV Husband. But this era was different. It was really an era of strict precautions. Even if they held hands, they had to be responsible.
"Elder Sister, believe me. I didn't do it on purpose. I really can't control my own thoughts." Jiang Clan had tried her best to turn everything around, but she couldn't. She couldn't control her own thoughts. She couldn't control herself from thinking about the Count. She couldn't control herself from thinking about the Count. She couldn't control herself from thinking about how good it would be if she was the Count's wife.
Jiang Clan grabbed Xia Lu's hand. Her face was full of hope. She hoped that Xia Lu could save her from the abyss. Now, no one could save her. Only Xia Lu could save her.
"Did you take the initiative to seduce my Lord?" Xia Lu thought for a moment and asked.
Jiang Clan quickly shook her head and said, "I only wanted to see the Count more. I never thought of seducing the Count. Moreover, men and women are different. I haven't seen the Count many times."
"Since that's the case, why do you feel guilty?" Although it was indeed disgusting for her husband to be lusted after by another woman, it was not a crime worthy of death. If it was really a crime, how big of a crime would it be for young ladies in modern times to change their husbands after watching a TV series? "You are just envious of the Count's feelings for me. Xia Ji can't give you these feelings, so it made you have delusions."
"Huh?" Jiang Clan was stunned.
Xia Lu smiled. Jiang Shi was now like a little girl who watched dramas in the modern world. Because she couldn't give her the lover she wanted in reality, she would fantasize about the characters in TV dramas or novels. She would fantasize that her lover was a peerless hero who would one day come and marry her on a colorful cloud. Men in real life were always unsatisfactory. Therefore, when a seemingly perfect man appeared, she would have such thoughts. Moreover, this kind of thought would not last for a long time. When a more perfect man appeared, she would naturally fall in love with someone else.
"I admit that Xia Ji is indeed much weaker than my Lord. However, if you compare Xia Ji with your brothers, who do you think is better?" Xia Lu asked.
"Xia Ji." Jiang Clan said Xia Ji's name without hesitation.
"That's right. Everyone likes the best. When my Lord didn't appear, if you had to choose between your brothers and Xia Ji, you would definitely choose Xia Ji. When my Lord appeared, because he's better than Xia Ji, you would definitely choose my Lord. What if the Prince appeared? Who would you choose? To say something disrespectful, what if His Majesty appeared? Everyone likes outstanding people. This is human nature. However, this kind of liking is appreciation. The only one who can really spend the rest of your life with you is Xia Ji. "Xia Lu comforted.
"Why?" Jiang Clan didn't understand. She didn't understand the difference between appreciation and a lifetime.
"Do you know how to communicate with the Emperor? Do you know how many women there are in the Emperor's harem? Let's not talk about something so unrealistic. Let's talk about my Lord. Do you know how to communicate with my Lord? Is it possible that my Lord only sleeps when he comes? He doesn't even talk? "Xia Lu asked.
Jiang Clan was stunned.
"You don't understand at all, right? My Lord likes jade. Can you appreciate jade with him? My Lord likes carving. Do you know how to evaluate seals? My Lord likes to read. When you chat with him, can you understand the allusion in this sentence? My Lord likes to drink tea. Can you taste tea with him? Even if you can, can you understand the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in his heart? "Xia Lu asked.
Jiang Clan shook her head.
"But you can understand Xia Ji, right? You have something to say to Xia Ji. "Xia Lu said softly.
Jiang Clan nodded. She seemed to understand.
"So, this is the difference between appreciation and a lifetime. Appreciation, you only see the best side, just like a peacock spreading its tail. You only see the beautiful feathers after it spreads its tail, but you don't see what it looks like after it spreads its tail. You only see the bright side. A lifetime, that means you understand the man well enough. Bing Jie still wants to continue walking with him. You can tolerate my shortcomings, and I can tolerate your shortcomings. Even if there is a little conflict between us, we can quickly reconcile. This is a lifetime, what do you think?" Xia Lu said.
Jiang Clan nodded.
"Alright, take good care of your body. Don't think about it anymore. Some things are good to just appreciate, and some things have to be cherished. If you miss it, you'll miss it forever." Xia Lu comforted.
"Okay." Jiang Clan's sorrow seemed to dissipate a lot.
When Xia Lu returned, she sat in the carriage and smiled bitterly. She didn't expect that one day, she would become a psychologist. The woman she treated was not only her brother's wife, but also a woman who fantasized about her husband. Life was so f * cking melodramatic.
A few days later, she heard from Xia Ji that her wife was slowly getting better.
Two months later, Jiang Clan personally came to thank Xia Lu. She even brought the shoes she made.
Xia Lu thanked Jiang Clan, but she had never worn this pair of shoes. Even though she counseled her, it couldn't change the fact that this woman fantasized about her husband. Since that was the case, she wouldn't wear this pair of shoes.
