In the TV series "Do You Know", Minglan's mother Wei Xiaoniang died of dystocia in the third episode, and many people said that she was too weak.
In fact, even if Wei Xiaoniang is tough, she still can't escape such a fate.
Wei Xiaoniang's name is Wei Shuyi, knowledgeable, gentle and dignified.
Her mother's family background was also good, which can be inferred from her proficient pitcher. How can a woman from a poor family have the leisure to play with a pitcher?
With her character and appearance, she could have been the wife of an ordinary family, a husband and children, and spent her life.
However, her fate was not good. The father who was the pillar of support died suddenly, and the family had no support, and even eating became a problem.
My mother was seriously ill again and had no money for treatment. In desperation, Wei could only sacrifice herself, she wanted to sell herself in exchange for money to treat her mother's illness.
Just in time for the eldest lady of the Sheng family to take a concubine for her husband, and the Wei family met the conditions in all aspects, so she was included in the Sheng Mansion.
And her fate has been doomed since the day she entered the Sheng Mansion. This ending has nothing to do with whether she is weak or not.
First of all, Wei is a noble person, and from the day she sold herself as a concubine, her heart died. She has no feelings for Sheng Hong, and she is unwilling to take the initiative to please him.
Wei's is different from Lin Xiaoniang, Lin Xiaoniang has always been in front of Master Sheng, pretending to be pitiful and doing everything possible to please her.
She knew that as long as she firmly grasped Master Sheng, she could consolidate her position, and this was indeed the case.
But Wei didn't want any status, and even more disdainful of competing for favor, occasionally the master came to her room, she was also cold, and would find a reason to send him out.
At first, when the TV series saw this, I felt that Master Sheng was very unconcerned about Wei Xiaoniang. As an audience, I really despise this master of the Sheng family.
I thought, with Wei Xiaoniang's intelligence and talent, as well as her docile character, is Master Sheng blind?
Later, I realized that it was not Master Sheng who was blind, but Wei Xiaoniang who didn't want to.
She would rather be pregnant and live in a cold house than ask her husband for help.
Sheng Hong can go smoothly in the officialdom, and he is not a fool, how could he not see Wei's attitude?
Besides, what kind of person he is, he will not use a hot face to stick to a concubine's cold ass. Therefore, I lost interest in Weis.
Wei Xiaoniang wanted to stay out of the matter, but at the same time, she also lost the protection of Master Sheng.
Second, when she entered the Sheng family, she was originally a tool used by the eldest lady to compete for favor.
The reason why Mrs. Sheng bought Wei's was to use her to balance Lin Xiaoniang. Sheng Hong's favored concubine killed his wife, and everyone in the capital knew it.
The eldest lady was repeatedly defeated in the open and secret battles with Lin Xiaoniang. Later, I ran out of options, so I came up with a way to give Sheng Hong a concubine again to disperse Sheng Hong's favor.
But for Weis, no matter how things go, she can't get any good.
If she is favored, she can certainly hit Lin Xiaoniang, but she will also invisibly become the enemy of the big lady and become the next target of the big lady.
And if Wei's is not favored, she will lose the value of use. Regardless of whether she is doing well or not in the Sheng family, the eldest lady will only watch coldly and will not help.
Although Wei is so down, she is still proud, how can she be willing to become someone's tool?
She is very transparent, and she knows what the Sheng family's wife and concubine have in mind, and she neither wants to compete for favor nor be taken advantage of.
It's just that no matter how sober she is, she is just a weak woman, and although she never participates in the battle of the back house, she still inevitably becomes a victim, because she is powerless to protect herself.
Third, she has no backing to back her up.
In the ancient eunuch house, a powerful maiden family was definitely the confidence of the women in the back house, and it could decide whether they were doing well or not.
For example, the grand lady, she has a short temper and jumps like thunder before she finishes a sentence. Sheng Hong has long lost affection for her, but because she has a powerful mother's family, Master Sheng doesn't dare to do anything to her except snub her.
And what about Lin Xiaoniang?She is just the daughter of a criminal minister, and she became a concubine by secretly crossing Chen Cang with Master Sheng, and she has no backer.
But she was so charming that she was fascinated by Sheng Hong, so she became a special favor.
For Lin Xiaoniang, being favored is confidence, and Master Sheng is her backer. As long as the lord believes in her and spoils her, she doesn't care how the eldest lady tosses her.
And Wei's has nothing, which also dooms her to a mustard.
Fourth, and this is also the most fatal point, Wei's is pregnant.
Although Wei's is not favored, but when she is pregnant, the Sheng family will still pay attention to one or two.
For a large family that values offspring, the more men the better. Once a boy is really born, Wei Xiaoniang may be more expensive than a child.
But what was unfortunate for her was that she caught up with Lin Xiaoniang in charge of the house, and Lin Xiaoniang was the most afraid that she would give birth to a boy.
The Sheng family already had two men at that time, the sister-in-law Sheng Changbai, the eldest lady, was a handsome young man, and was praised by everyone.
The concubine Sheng Changfeng, born to Lin Xiaoniang, does not do his job properly and does not listen to discipline, which is a headache for Lin Xiaoniang.
Only one Changbai compares "Brother Feng", if Wei Xiaoniang has another son, will there be a day when he will have his own house?
Lin Xiaoniang thought about it, and resolutely couldn't let Wei's give birth to this child, it would be better if she could have a "killing two birds with one stone".
It just so happened that because the eldest daughter Sheng Hualan was married, the eldest lady was busy with her daughter's family affairs, so Master Sheng asked her to hand over the housekeeping to Lin Xiaoniang.
Lin Xiaoniang took this opportunity to deduct Wei Xiaoniang's charcoal money and food. Xiao Minglan was not angry and complained to her father.
Master Sheng was originally very angry, and he found Lin Xiaoniang in a rage, but he didn't know that she turned the situation around in a few words.
Lin Xiaoniang falsely claimed that she did not detain Wei Xiaoniang in the slightest, but on the contrary, she also used her own private money to subsidize her.
But since Wei Xiaoniang said that there were few things in her house, she must have been greedy. Taking this opportunity, she frames Wei Xiaoniang's maid Fluttershy and kicks her out.
In this way, Wei Xiaoniang has no reliable cronies by her side, and she can control it all, which eventually leads to Wei Xiaoniang's stillbirth, one corpse and two lives.
Let's ask, in such a tiger and wolf den, can Wei Xiaoniang really be tough and protect herself?
The answer is no, a woman who has nothing will dare to bully you, not to mention those conspiracies and calculations.
Wei Xiaoniang is actually the most transparent person in "Know".
She knew that she was of a humble status, and that even her own children did not have the same status as other children. She often warned Minglan : "Don't be strong in everything."
In order to win back Hualan's dowry, Minglan made a splash and was reprimanded by Wei Xiaoniang.
The little child is very aggrieved, and Wei's words are meaningful: "There is some pain, and she is the pain of the skin, but on you, it is the pain of bone and blood."
The implication is that Hua Lan, as a concubine, can afford to lose even if the dowry is gone. But if it is placed on Minglan , it is a pain in the skin.
But Minglan is too young, she can't understand the meaning of A-Niang's words.
Until A-Niang died, the sentence before her death, "In everything, life is the greatest." Eight-year-old Minglan seems to have grown up all of a sudden.
Since then, she has begun to pretend to be stupid, forbearance, show weakness, and keep her head in obscurity. It's all about staying alive and then making yourself stronger.
