Liu Yaozhen pinched Liu Yaoyu's arm lightly and scolded, "You always speak so freely. If you listen carefully, you will make up stories!"

Liu Yaoyu hid behind Yu Jiao, pursed her lips and smiled angrily, "Big sister, if you keep scolding me like this, I will no longer be with you, but only with my third sister!"

Liu Yaozhen smiled helplessly at Liu Yaoyu's childish words, but her eyes were very gentle when she looked at Liu Yaoyu.

It was obvious that she and Yaoyu had learned poetry, books and etiquette together since they were young, but her younger sister was very erratic in character and did not have the steadiness and dignity of a lady from a noble family. No wonder her mother had always been worried about her marriage.

"You, learn more from your third sister." Liu Yaozhen tapped Liu Yaoyu's brow with her finger. "If you were as steady as your third sister, mother would have arranged your marriage long ago."

Liu Yaoyu felt a headache when she heard her talk about marriage. She pouted and said, "I don't want to get married so early! You and your brother-in-law are so in love with each other, which is rare in the world. There are few men in the world who don't take concubines. I don't want to be jealous in the backyard all day long. It's better to be free like this now!"

Liu Yaoyu's eyes fell on Yu Jiao, and she thought with emotion that even her father, a man as upright and serious as her father, had a mistress outside and even had a daughter.

Although the eldest sister's brother-in-law treats her wholeheartedly, there are still all kinds of messy troubles in the house. Women in the world are happiest only when they are unmarried!

When Liu Yaozhen heard her talking about Cui Mubai, her face slightly blushed, "With your mother's help, you will be able to get married and live in harmony with your husband in the future. Don't say such childish things. How can a woman not get married?"

Liu Yaoyu sighed heavily, "Big sister, do you think everyone is like your brother-in-law? Devoted to you, with only you in their hearts and eyes? Not to mention other things, just in Xinglou, Liu Miwu has had countless lovers, and more than half of the young masters in Shengjing are reluctant to leave. Even Sister Xueyan, she married far away in Qingzhou, which is really a downgrade, but she was still treated harshly by the Sun family. In my opinion, she is truly living a good life now that she is divorced!"

Liu Yaoyu held her chin with her hand, looking as if she had seen a lot of things, and said with emotion, "Many men in the world are unlucky."

Yu Jiao laughed when she heard this, "What kind of storytelling book have you read, Second Sister?" But in her heart she felt that it was rare in this era for Liu Yaoyu to have such an idea.

Liu Yaoyu had indeed read a lot of stories about infatuated men and resentful women recently. When her lies were exposed by Yu Jiao, she pulled Yu Jiao's sleeve and said, "Third sister, do you think what I said makes sense?" It seemed as if she wanted to pull Yu Jiao to stand on her side.

Liu Yaozhen was worried when she heard this. If things continued like this, her sister might not want to get married. She looked at Yaoyu worriedly and advised, "How can you, a young girl who has not yet married, think like this? Girls have to get married when they are old enough. Only with a husband can they have support. When they are still married, they are loved by their parents. After they are married, they will be loved by their husbands. Serving their husbands, having children, and raising them are the destiny of a girl's life."

"I won't talk to you anymore!" Liu Yaoyu frowned. For the first time, she felt that her elder sister's thoughts were so different. She said angrily, "Anyway, I don't want to get married right now. What's so good about men? If I rely on men completely and regard my husband as my heaven, wouldn't that mean I'm losing myself? Live only for my husband? Always try to figure out his thoughts and look at his face in everything?"

Liu Yaozhen has a gentle and docile personality and is not good at arguing with others. Liu Yaoyu's words were so sharp that she was unable to respond for a while.

Seeing that the two were about to have a quarrel if they continued talking, Yu Jiao spoke up to ease the atmosphere, "Everyone has their own aspirations. My eldest sister and her brother-in-law are in harmony with each other, so naturally she feels that respecting her husband and raising children after marriage is the destiny of her life."

When Liu Yaoyu heard that she had the same opinion as her elder sister, she became even angrier.

"But what Second Sister said may not be wrong." Yu Jiao's voice was neither slow nor fast, but she was more defensive of Liu Yaoyu. "'Female Commandments', 'Female Training' and 'Female Model Records' all teach women to be docile and self-disciplined, follow the three obediences and four virtues, take their husbands as the guide, serve their parents-in-law, and be chaste. But why is there no 'Male Commandments' and 'Male Training' in this world?"

It was the first time for Liu Yaozhen and Liu Yaoyu to hear someone ask this question. They both shook their heads and asked, "Why?"

Yu Jiao said sarcastically, "Because those books were written by men, they are just to educate women to become men's vassals, just like the supremacy of imperial power, which is just for the superiors to tame the people, enjoy boundless power, and be above everyone else."
