Xu Mo said in a deep voice, "Using a woman's reputation to make a fuss is despicable and contemptible."
Wen Zhiyun nodded, "Sister Xiaozhu told me that the Prefect's wife is an excellent person."
Jiang Sheng ate her rice.
Today's meal was quite plentiful, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and my aunt's newly made cured pork ribs, which tasted very good.
But after taking a few bites, Jiang Sheng stopped and asked in a low voice, "Why do men always have to involve women in their fights?"
Because women care more about their reputation, because women are more vulnerable, and because women are easier to target.

Then, they all stood up, stopped eating, and began an urgent search of the entire courtyard.
There was no bedroom, no workshop, and no courtyard.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Ruqian pulled two pieces of cloth off the donkey cart that had just been brought back. "Hey, what's this?"
