Water Margin isn’t directly tied to Ryoshu, it’s a Chinese novel - it’s mainly tied to the Pinky in general and thus indirectly tied to Ryoshu
eh fair
At one point Xifeng’s husband gets fed up with her and secretly takes a second wife illegally in the city. It is illegal to marry two people at once. It is illegal to marry without permission of the family. It is illegal to marry during a period of family mourning. It is illegal to marry during a period of national morning. This marriage was illegal four times over.
Xifeng finds out about the marriage, and graciously invites the woman to stay in the family mansion and treats her very kindly. And then enlists her servants to essentially force her to have a miscarriage and coerce her into suicide. Then the problem is gone! As the second wife is dead.
WHAT
yeah that sounds about right
Yeah that makes sense
Ninth Song: Caught By Her Own Charming
Too shrewd by half, with such finesse you wrought
That your own life in your own toils was caught;
But long before you died your heart was slain,
And when you died your spirit walked in vain.
Fall’n the great house once so secure in wealth,
Each scattered member shifting for himself;
And half a life-time’s anxious schemes
Proved no more than the stuff of dreams.
Like a great building’s tottering crash,
Like flickering lampwick burned to ash,
Your scene of happiness concludes in grief:
For worldly bliss is always insecure and brief.
you don’t understand we have to make the dream of the red chamber inventor a third time
On her birthday she came home drunk and found her husband in bed with a servant’s wife. He threatened her with a sword. The same sword is still hanging on their wall for months.
