Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi's wife, had few virtues and extraordinary intelligence.

I remember that back then, Cao Ren’s wife wanted to recruit Sima Yi, but Sima Taifu refused because he was suffering from wind paralysis and could not get up from his bed.

Unexpectedly, one day there was a sudden heavy rain, and Master Sima was so anxious that he ran outside to collect books, and was seen by a maid at home.

Zhang Chunhua was worried that Sima Yi's fake illness would be revealed and cause disaster, so he killed the maid with his own hands to silence her.

After killing the maid, he went to the stove himself to light the fire and cook.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Chunhua's perseverance is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary women.

I'm afraid even most men can't compare to her.

Over the years, she has helped Sima Yi a lot and earned Sima Yi's respect.

Sima Yi respected and feared her.

Only between husband and wife, love is common sense.

It's okay to say respect, but if there is too much fear, as a man, he will inevitably want to enjoy tenderness in other women in order to seek psychological balance.

Not to mention that Taifu Sima holds a high position.

Therefore, Sima Yi naturally doted on the docile Mrs. Bai.

Having tasted the feeling he wanted in Mrs. Bai, coupled with Zhang Chunhua's old age and declining appearance, Taifu Sima, who had already consolidated his power, naturally became tired of his wife.

But how can Zhang Chunhua be easy to get along with?

How she was humiliated by Sima Yi in front of Mrs. Bai was a mixture of shame and hatred.

Thinking again that Sima Yi had his own contribution to his current status, he never expected that he would be treated like this in the end.

The breath was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't swallow it or let it out, so she simply lay down straight on the couch, saying nothing, eating or drinking, preparing to go on a hunger strike and wait to die.

Zhang Chunhua gave birth to three sons and one daughter to Sima Yi.

His daughter was married, Sima Shi was dead, and Sima Zhao stayed in Luoyang. Only his youngest son, Sima Qian, who was eleven years old, followed Sima Yi in Yecheng.

Sima Qian had not seen his mother for a long time. This time mother and son finally got together, but he did not expect that his mother would go on a hunger strike and commit suicide.

He was so frightened that he burst into tears. He brought the food himself and begged Zhang Chunhua to have a bite.

Zhang Chunhua just closed his eyes and didn't move.

When Sima Qian saw his mother like this, he didn't know whether he was tired from crying or was too frightened, so he finally passed out.

When Sima Yi learned that Zhang Chunhua was on hunger strike, he didn't care much at first.

It wasn't until he learned that his son had fainted that he felt that the matter was serious. He quickly got up from Mrs. Bai's arms and went to visit.

Fortunately, Sima Qian was only in a brief coma and was quickly revived.

As soon as he woke up and saw Sima Yi in front of the bed, he immediately burst into tears again. Regardless of Sima Yi's obstruction, he ran to Zhang Chunhua with his bare feet on the ground.

Zhang Chunhua's hunger strike, as well as Sima Qian's unstable mental state, suddenly caused chaos in Beipu.

Until dinner time, Sima Qian still hid in Zhang Chunhua's room and refused to come out. He only said that he wanted to accompany his mother on a hunger strike.

As the head wife of the royal family, Zhang Chunhua was respected even by Sima Yi, so she naturally had great prestige in the Sima family.

Sima Zhao's wife Wang Yuanji, who served her uncle and aunt as a woman, was also in Yecheng at this time.

She learned that Zhang Chunhua wanted to go on a hunger strike, so she personally brought the food and drink to her and asked her to go on a hunger strike.

Sima Yi's other concubine, Mrs. Fu, always respected and befriended Zhang Chunhua.

After hearing this, he felt Wang Yuanji's filial piety and took his four sons, Sima Nian, Sima Liang, Sima Jing and Sima Jun, to kneel outside the door and together with Wang Yuanji begged Zhang Chunhua to change his mind.

Seeing so many people kneeling outside Zhang Chunhua's house without eating all day, Sima Yi couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.

He just felt that his old face was so hot that he couldn't help but asked Wang Yuanji, who was taking the lead, why he was like this.

Wang Yuanji replied respectfully:

"Husbands and wives are yin and yang. The husband is yang and the woman is yin. The husband listens to foreign affairs and the woman takes care of domestic affairs. This can be said to be in harmony with yin and yang, so that the family can prosper."

"Auntie is the mistress of the house. She is responsible for the affairs of the house and will commit suicide. If she does not persuade her, there will be a loss of peace in the house and I will lose my filial piety."

When Sima Yi heard this, he was horrified.

He looked at his sons who were kneeling on the ground, finally sighed and walked into the house.

Zhang Chunhua closed his eyes and remained motionless.

His son Sima Qian knelt in front of the couch.

Sima Yi sighed:

"I heard the bad news earlier. I couldn't control my emotions and made some inappropriate remarks. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Zhang Chunhua remained motionless, not even opening his eyes.

Sima Yi's face twitched when he saw her like this.

They have been married for many years, so he certainly knows Zhang Chunhua’s character.

This old thing!

She planned to slap herself in the face in front of everyone in order to retaliate for what she had said to her before.

If it had been anyone else, he would have walked away long ago.

For those with bad tempers, such as Huan Fan and others, who can hit a pregnant wife in the abdomen with the handle of a knife, it is not surprising that in this situation, he would just chop her with a knife.

But who is Taifu Sima?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too.

You have worn all women’s clothes, but do you care about this trivial matter?

But seeing Sima Yi take a deep breath, in front of his concubines and sons, he bowed his hands to Zhang Chunhua on the couch and bowed deeply:

"Madam, I have not cultivated my virtue. I said evil words to my wife before. Now I know it was wrong. Madam, please forgive me this time."

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he opened his eyes, then turned to look at Sima Yi who was bowing, and said:

"Why is my husband like this? I am just tired and have no intention of eating, but I am worried about you."

Sima Yi's nails dug deeply into his palms, but with a look of joy on his face, he raised his head and said:

"So that's the case. I'm over-worrying. But how can Madam not eat because she's tired? This is not good for her health. Please eat something, Madam, so that everyone in the house won't worry."

"Quick, Ziliang (Sima Qian), help your mother up quickly, I'll have someone send you some food."

When Sima Qian heard this, he quickly wiped his eyes and got up, trying to help Zhang Chunhua.

Zhang Chunhua was still lying down.

"Mom?"

Sima Gan called out softly.

Zhang Chunhua shook his head:

"I'm not hungry."

Sima Yi took a look and didn't understand anything.

His teeth were almost broken, but the smile on his face became more and more gentle. He bent forward and stretched out his arm to help Zhang Chunhua:

"Why aren't you hungry, madam? Come, let me help you get up."

Zhang Chunhua then borrowed the donkey from the slope and sat up.

However, she did not look at Sima Yi, but said to the outside:

"Okay, you haven't eaten for a day. Take the children to have dinner quickly to avoid starving them."

Mrs. Fu outside heard this and quickly responded: "Here."

Master Sima's old face twitched again, it was obvious that this old man did it deliberately to show him.

This old thing is showing him her prestige in the house.

The quarrel between Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua ended with Sima Yi bowing his head and apologizing to Zhang Chunhua in public.

However, Master Sima naturally had his own reasons for this.

After this incident, he privately said to Mrs. Bai angrily:

"It's not enough to cherish old things. I'm worried about being sleepy."

It means that there is nothing to regret about the old man's death. I am just worried about the suffering of my good sons.

However, although Sima Yi's words were released like this, he did not expect that the aftermath of this matter would still continue.

A few days later, when Sima Yi saw Sima Zhao, who was in such a miserable state that Feng Chen Nu Wu was in such a mess that he almost didn't recognize him as his own son, he was both surprised and horrified:

"Why did my son come here? Could it be that something happened to Luoyang?"

Apart from the fall of Luoyang, he really couldn't imagine that his son would suddenly appear in Yecheng.

However, if that were to happen, wouldn't the Western bandits capture Luoyang too quickly?
