Every family has its rules; every clan has its methods.
Zhou Qingning, the wife of the sixth son, Wang Shoulian, although born into a prominent military family, had chosen to marry Wang Shoulian, thus naturally, she was obliged to adhere to the rules of the Wang family.
Hence when Zhou Qingning was pregnant with her first child—Wang Lixuan, she resigned from the military and returned to the Wang family's main residence for her pregnancy. Over the years, she has been staying in the main residence, raising their children. Marrying within the clan meant marrying into the entire family. Any child borne would not only be her own but also belonged to the entire family.
Underaged children must live in the main residence and attend the clan school. They must grow alongside their peers and receive a complete education from the Wang family.
No one, regardless of who they are, could defy these family rules.
