108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 125: One marriage is higher than the other 1
Xuanwu Continent is an intermediate world.

There are several countries on the continent, but there are rarely wars between countries because each country is busy defending against foreign enemies.

The external enemy is not a human being, but a beast.

A large number of ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts feed on humans. They live in the woods or nest underground according to their habits. They come out to eat from time to time, and beast tides occur every once in a while. As a result, the population of Xuanwu Continent has been declining. Various countries have issued decrees to encourage widows to remarry. Each woman is considered to have met the standard if she gives birth to three children, otherwise she will be fined.

In addition, the imperial court would recruit soldiers from time to time. If there were men in the family, they would serve in the army. If there were no men, women would be drafted. Except for the elderly over 70 years old and children under 14 years old, adult men and women could go to the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, many people would get married and have children early in order to prevent one of them from being dragged into battle and killed, leaving behind no offspring.

The women in this world also have very high fighting power, and the reason for this is because of the meat of ferocious beasts.

The flesh of ferocious beasts contains energy. The ferocious beasts killed by the front-line soldiers will be transported back to various parts of the country for sale. No one in the Xuanwu Continent raises livestock because they simply cannot eat them. Ferocious beasts are too cheap, so cheap that the cost is lower than raising them by yourself.

The people of Xuanwu Continent grew up eating the flesh of ferocious beasts, and they all have great strength. Coupled with the cultivation techniques popularized by the imperial court, an ordinary adult woman can have the strength of five tripods as long as she practices according to the techniques.

If you practice a little more seriously, it is very easy to reach the 8th level of strength. Women can go to the battlefield when they reach the th level of strength.

Men are naturally stronger than women, and their fighting strength is doubled. If they practice advanced martial arts, their fighting strength can reach thirty or forty Ding's strength. The current emperor has the strength of forty-two Ding's strength.

Therefore, regardless of whether they are men or women, they must undergo six months of training before going to the battlefield. Those who fail to meet the standards are basically seeking death.

Because ferocious beasts are really difficult to deal with.

The original owner was the daughter of a businessman. Her family business was doing well. Her mother gave birth to four sons and one daughter. Her three older brothers all joined the military camp, and the fourth child temporarily stayed at home to follow his father Ning in business.

The original owner was the youngest child in the family. Her cousin from her second uncle's family was the same age as her, only two months younger than her. She had always been jealous of her because the original owner had a good marriage.

The original owner's father had saved Prefect Fu, and the prefect arranged a marriage between his son and the original owner out of gratitude.

Because the original owner was able to marry into an official family, Ning Wanrong was extremely jealous.

So, after the original owner and Fu Qing were about to get married, she took the opportunity to seduce her brother-in-law under the pretext of visiting her cousin.

Because of the scarce population in this world, the relationship between men and women is particularly open. People living in towns still pay attention to marriage, but those who enter the military camp don't care about this at all in order to have children. If a woman sees a man she likes, she will just snatch him away. If a child is born, the child will be her own blood and she doesn't have to worry about being recognized by the man's family.

Even in towns, there is no guarantee that a child born to one's own wife is one's own child, but as long as the child is born on one's own kang, he or she is one's own child.

Many widows, after returning home, would just find a man to use, and then throw the man aside when they had a child, because the child would be theirs anyway.

Because of these, although Fu Qing had a relationship with Ning Wanrong, he did not want to marry his sister-in-law.

But a month later, the sister-in-law came to the door again.

She is pregnant.

When Fu Qing heard that she had her own child, he suddenly became interested and wanted to marry her.

What could the original owner say? After Fu Qing persuaded her, she naturally agreed.

But her cousin was very generous and only wanted to be a wife, not a concubine.

Then Fu Qing married a concubine. Originally, life could have gone on like this, but Ning Wanrong was too cruel. She put drugs in the original owner's food, and the original owner died before her child was born.

When Ning Yan came, Ning Wanrong had just revealed that she was pregnant and was going to be his legal wife.

"Madam, I have my eyes on you, but she has my child, so I can only marry her. Besides, if you can't get pregnant, I won't even be able to leave a child behind when I go to the military camp."

After joining the army, one has to stay in the barracks for 30 years before he can retire unless he dies.

During this period, there is only rotational rest, which can be taken once every three years and lasts for three months each time.

Who can guarantee that they will survive after three years on the battlefield?
Fu Qing really wants to have a child with his wife. His wife is beautiful, considerate and gentle, and her personalities are completely different from those of his sisters-in-law at home. He loves her very much and really wants to stay with her for the rest of his life.

But the original owner has been in the mansion for more than seven months. Logically, this is not a long time, but it is very dangerous according to Xuan State's policy. She has been the only woman for seven months and she didn't get pregnant. Who can guarantee that she will be able to get pregnant in the future?
Therefore, Ning Wanrong's child came at a very timely moment. As long as the child was born, he would have an heir and there would be nothing to worry about when going to the battlefield.

But Ning Yan was not willing to share a husband with her cousin, and her cousin was determined to kill her.

A woman should never let herself be wronged at any time, so she didn't want to get involved with Fu Qing anymore.

"Master Fu wants to marry her as his wife, right?"

Fu Qing frowned. His wife had always called him husband before.

"She's not the principal wife, she's the co-wife."

“The result is the same.”

Ning Yan lowered her head and skimmed off the tea foam in the tea bowl, but she no longer had any interest in tasting the tea.

"So, let's make peace."

Fu Qing's face suddenly changed. He never thought that he would hear these two words from his wife, "Ning Yan, why?"

Ning Yan looked at him, her eyes calm and even her words were calm, "I'm afraid I'll vomit."

"You, you think I had sex with someone else? But, this is normal, isn't it?"

Nowadays, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you never know when you will be dragged to the battlefield. When the men in the family die in battle, there are countless people who are left with only two or three wives. He just had an accident with her cousin, so why can't she tolerate it?

"If one day I get pregnant with Zhang Zhixing's child, can you calmly be the father of the child?"

Zhang Zhixing is the legitimate son of General Piqi. He has been at odds with Fu Qing since childhood. He wants Fu Qing to be the father of his son. No, when he thinks that Ning Yan might have an intersection with Zhang Zhixing, he wants to kill people!
"Xiangling, go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Fu Qing never thought that he and Ning Yan would come to this point. He originally came to Ning Yan to discuss marrying a co-wife, so why did it end up being a divorce?
Xiangling quickly brought the inkstone and other things over. Fu Qing's eyes were full of disbelief. "I can't write. Ning Yan, please stop making trouble, okay?"

"It's up to you. I will find a chance to seduce Zhang Zhixing. As long as he is willing, I may even give birth to two more children for him."

Half an hour later, Fu Qing left in a daze, holding a divorce letter.

Ning Yan happily packed her dowry and sent her maid back to the Ning Mansion.
