Yes, definitely.
People who do not read the works carefully often rely on a vague impression to believe that Sun Shaozu is a sadist who likes domestic violence. In fact, written in the work, Sun Shaozu only threatened Yingchun: "Is it good, beat a beating and go to sleep in the lower room", and does not describe that he really beat his wife.
Of course, emotional abuse is also abuse, and it is enough to kill Yingchun. The question is why did Sun Shaozu abuse Yingchun? As he said: "Your old man made me five thousand silver and gave you permission to give it to me", Yingchun is the object of five thousand two silver, then Sun Shaozu should cherish her even more. Don't hurt people, but also hurt money. If Yingchun is tortured to death, isn't it a loss of money and wealth?
Sun Shaozu tortured and insulted Yingchun for a deeper reason. In Yingchun's sentence, it is said that Sun Shaozu is a "wolf in the mountains", what does this mean?
The allusion of the zhongshan wolf should not be unfamiliar Chinese, right? It's an ungrateful image. Sun Shaozu's grandfather "hoped for rongning and had the potential to worship under the door when there were things that could not be settled", it was the Jia family who asked the Jia family, it was the Jia family who settled the "things that could not be settled" for the Sun family, and it was the Jia family that was kind to the Sun family.
There are one and two. Of course, Sun Shaozu would not be truly grateful to his benefactor, and he only befriended Jia Amnesty just to further and once again use Jia Amnesty. The amount of five thousand taels of silver is clear, and it will not be a rootless wood. Linked together, can it be understood that Sun Shaozu once gave Jia Shu five thousand taels of silver and begged him to do things and use them as funds for activities, like the three thousand taels that Jia Shu gave to Wang Xifeng; but Jia Shu's ability to do things was not as good as that of his daughter-in-law, and he did not accomplish things, so he had to take his daughter as compensation.
This is the reason why Sun Shaozu hates Yingchun: this marriage was exchanged for his abandonment of his political demands. He felt like he had suffered a big loss!
Back to the topic, if Xia Jingui married Sun Shaozu, would the ending be better?
When encountering someone like Sun Shaozu who "doesn't know anything", and without a mother and mother-in-law like Aunt Xue to restrain and hold him hostage ("Now there is only one person in the Sun family in Beijing"), Xia Jingui, even Xia Jingui, who is "a thief's temperament" and "the nature of internal wind and thunder", cannot tell Sun Shaozu what to do.
However, Xia Jingui "died early from his father when he was a child, and there were no brothers", and no one in the Xia family owed Sun Shaozu's personal debts and property debts.
No debt, no debt, no preconceived hatred, Sun Shaozu did not like Xia Jingui at most, there was no need to deliberately torture his wife, right?
Xia Jingui, xia Jingui, who no one likes, may not be able to get the favor of Sun Shaozu. But at least, she could survive.
