Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 687: Many Cheats 8
However, there is no law that stipulates that the private property of the wife of this dynasty must be divided equally among all the sons of her husband. Of course, even if there is such a rule, it can be privately divided among her biological sons before her death, and the illegitimate sons can do nothing about it. After all, in this day and age, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. For example, the official rule is that property should be divided equally among all sons, but in reality, no family does so. Generally, the head of the family will give the bulk of the property to the eldest son, for fear that this low-profile version of the Enfeoffment Order will weaken the power of their family from generation to generation.

So in the same way, even if the royal law stipulates that the money of the mistress of the house must be divided equally among all the sons, including illegitimate sons, there is a high probability that the illegitimate sons will not get any money, because the royal law is the royal law and reality is reality.

And there was no rule in this dynasty that the money of a legitimate mother had to be shared with illegitimate sons, so it was much better for Shen Yuanniang to marry the second legitimate son than to marry a illegitimate son.

And now, Shen Yuanniang is making a fuss and is determined not to marry the second legitimate son, and instead wants to marry the illegitimate son of another noble family.

It just so happened that the illegitimate son had proposed to Shen Yuanniang before, but Earl Jing'an had chosen another family for her. Of course, Shen Yuanniang did not object at the time. After all, she didn't know much about the situation in the capital and didn't know which family was better. Since Earl Jing'an thought that family was better and asked her to choose that family, she naturally had no objection.

But who would have thought that things would change now, and she would marry another family, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery.

Jing'an Bo would naturally not agree to such a strange request. After all, breaking off the engagement without any reason would only offend the previous family.

But... Shen Yuanniang was trying to commit suicide and was determined to cancel the engagement. She also said that if she was not allowed to cancel the engagement, she would do something shameful, which would be bad for the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion.

After hearing this, Jing'an Bo was frightened and had no choice but to cancel her marriage. Of course, in order to avoid upsetting his ex-in-laws and causing them to become enemies, Jing'an Bo said that he had a dream in which he saw his eldest daughter and their son were incompatible and would kill their son. He was frightened when he woke up and did not want such a thing to really happen in the future, so he canceled the marriage, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.

Although the former relative-in-law said that it was not a problem, he was still a little scared of the dream that Jing'an Bo described, so he let it go.

After all, there are only two sons in their family. If one of them dies, it will not be a good thing.

After breaking off the engagement with her ex-fiancé, Shen Yuanniang asked the Marquis of Jing'an and his wife to persuade the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion to arrange the marriage for her, saying that they were afraid that the Marquis of Zhongyong's illegitimate son would be too old and would not be engaged, which would then leave her with nothing to do.

In fact, the Marquis of Jing'an was unwilling to marry into the Marquis's family, because the Marquis's family obtained the title through military merit, and now that the dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, military generals are no longer popular, so he only wanted his daughter to marry into a civil family.

Furthermore, there is another advantage of the former in-laws, they only have two sons and no illegitimate sons. In other words, the property of the former in-laws belongs to these two children and will not be shared by anyone else.

On the contrary, the bastard son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, whom my daughter insisted on marrying, has several sons in his family. The man she wants to marry is a bastard, so she will not get anything at all. Wouldn't it be torture to marry him?
Marquis Jing'an analyzed the situations of the two families in this way, and told his daughter that even if she did not marry her previous fiancé, she should choose a better one instead of this bastard.

As a result, Shen Yuanniang insisted on marrying the concubine's son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery. She cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, which made the Earl of Jing'an very annoyed. In the end, he had to agree.

He even agreed to such a difficult matter as breaking off the engagement with the previous in-laws. Shen Yuanniang insisted on marrying someone with poor conditions, which was not at the same level of difficulty as the previous matter. So although he felt that the person Shen Yuanniang chose was not good, since she insisted on marrying, he didn't care. Anyway, he would not be the one to suffer. No one knew why Shen Yuanniang wanted to marry the son of the loyal and brave baron, even the original body was not very clear, but Linlang, who had been staring at Shen Yuanniang with a little bee, knew the reason.

The reason is very simple, Shen Yuanniang was reborn.

The reason why the original body did not discover that Shen Yuanniang had been reborn was because the things that Shen Yuanniang knew would happen in her previous life did not happen in this life, which led her to choose the wrong person. To outsiders (such as the original body), it seemed that she had canceled a good marriage and arranged a bad one. They did not understand the purpose of her doing so.

But Linlang knew that the reason was very simple, because Shen Yuanniang's previous fiancé, her mother, passed away not long after she got married, and then her father-in-law remarried, and then the second wife gave birth to a son, and then a concubine's son was born, resulting in her husband's share of the property was not as much as she thought before she got married.

The reason why her husband had so many brothers instead of just two was because her mother-in-law kept a strict control over her father-in-law. Even if there were women in the backyard, those women were unable to give birth to sons.

But when her mother-in-law passed away and there was no one to take care of her father-in-law, her father-in-law began to let himself go and had more sons. It was normal that her husband did not get much of the property afterwards.

Not only did she not get much property, but her husband was also a failure, which resulted in her having a miserable life in her husband's family.

But the bastard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, whom she wanted to marry, was different. Although he was only a bastard, he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Later, with the help of his family connections, he was promoted quickly in the court. In Shen Yuanniang's memory, the bastard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery later became a third-rank official. The husband she married, although he was the second son of the legitimate wife, was actually mediocre all his life. In the end, when his father-in-law passed away, the couple did not get much property and were driven out. They lived a miserable life.

These are what Shen Yuanniang muttered when she was alone after her rebirth.

But in the original body's memory, it was completely different from what Shen Yuanniang muttered.

Shen Yuanniang's ex-fiance's family development was indeed what Shen Yuanniang had expected, but the concubine's son of the Loyal and Brave Earl did not pass the imperial examination after Shen Yuanniang married him. He took the imperial examination for a long time but still failed. But at least he passed the juren examination and became a minor official.

In the original body's memory, Shen Yuanniang was very dissatisfied with her husband's decision not to take the imperial examination and to be selected as a minor official. She often quarreled with her husband. As time went on, her husband naturally couldn't stand her and almost divorced her. Although he failed in the end, he no longer paid attention to her and favored his concubines.

In other words, after Shen Yuanniang was reborn, she remarried a man she thought had potential, but she did not live a better life than before her rebirth. On the contrary, she was almost divorced by her husband. Her husband did not like her and only liked concubines, so her life was even worse than before her rebirth.

Linlang didn't know what Shen Yuanniang did after she married Zhongyong Bo's concubine's son, which resulted in Zhongyong Bo's concubine's son failing to pass the imperial examination, but she was afraid that it was probably because he was bewitched by Shen Yuanniang.
