A person too sick to get out of bed, burning with fever, covered in sores, how could they have the strength to be with a woman?
Yet, the woman brought into the family must conceive a child...
Nothing more than finding someone to substitute and make her pregnant.
Brothers in the family or even the father can serve in his stead.
This kind of thing, whether in the remote places of a past life or in the great families of this life, is not uncommon.
The goal is to give the sickly person an heir, as for the feelings of the woman, the man's family won't care.
The woman being manipulated can't even shout about it, who would believe her if she did?
She would only be scolded as loose and wanton.
No wonder Seventh Cousin Wei would run away, could it be she discovered this secret?
Li Yuzhu grew more and more shaken as she thought about it.
Standing under the scorching sun of midsummer, she felt a chill on her back.
