After Washing Three, many ladies went back and discussed with their husbands about marrying their daughters to the eldest son of Marquis Shengping, mentioning also the fact that Marquis Shengping didn't have any concubines, and his backyard was clean and neat, with good family traditions.
Those ladies were implying something to their husbands, but unfortunately, the men scoffed at their suggestions. Which man didn't like to have both sides to himself? Marquis Shengping was just a henpecked husband! Of course, they didn't dare to utter these foolish words to their wives, only thought about it in their hearts.
The next day, after finishing at the court, several officials gathered and talked about how clean Marquis Shengping's backyard was, and he dared not accept any concubines, nor dared to go to a brothel. His wife was pregnant for ten months, during which he chose to be a monk for those ten months, simply a henpecked husband.
