Shen Yubai was silent for a long time before he chuckled.
Jiang Xiancao instantly became angry. She thought his smile was full of contempt for her, but she saw a rare tenderness in his expression. He whispered to her:
"I've always called you Xiao Jiuer, but I know in my heart that you are you."
Jiang Xiancao was a little confused by his momentary tenderness and didn't quite understand what he meant, but she seemed to understand a lot from it.
"In my eyes, you are not a weak person."
Shen Yubai looked into her eyes and said calmly:
"Most of the so-called strong people in this world rely on too much external forces, such as birth status, or even innate gender.
Some people are simply lucky enough to be reborn with immense wealth and a distinguished family background. Do these people live well and rise above the rest of humanity because of themselves?
Jiang Xiancao was slightly stunned and listened quietly to Shen Yubai continue.
"There are countless mediocre people with ordinary talents among the royal family, and countless prodigals who only know how to squander their wealth in the powerful families. Yet these people still live recklessly, and many of them bully the weak. But does this mean that those who are oppressed by them, who cannot stand on the same level as them, are truly weaker than them?"
Shen Yubai's tone was cold and powerful, "Heaven is unfair. It allows young men to stand in high positions, while many talented people are trampled under their feet, just because their birthplaces are not noble enough.
Just like many women are no worse than men, but the world binds them. They are taught the rules of female virtue from a young age and are not allowed to have the opportunity to read, learn to read and be in charge of the family like men.
In such a situation, women are of course weaker than men, but I don’t think they are weak.
Take you for example. You were not favored by your father's family and were despised and humiliated. That little bastard Chen Tingsi could easily step on you just because of a few words he wrongly believed. Those people looked down on you and thought you were weak and could be bullied, but is that really the case?
If you didn't have a strong character, could you have persisted in such a humiliating environment for so long, and refused to compromise with those who oppressed you until you were forced into a desperate situation?
Is it true that someone with such a strong character is not a strong person? And Shen Tingsi, he is arrogant and conceited, looking strong and fearless, but has his character ever been tempered?
All his confidence comes from his status as a prince and the favor he receives from his brother the emperor and his mother. When he loses these and switches identities with you, he is not living as well as you in the Jiang family.
And now that you have his confidence, you, the Ninth Prince, have done far better than him.
In terms of talent, you are not inferior to him; in terms of character, you are better than him. Why should I look down on you?
Not only do I not look down on you, I admire you very much."
Jiang Xiancao was very surprised by Shen Yubai's words.
She didn't expect that she would receive such praise from His Royal Highness Prince Zhan.
You know, this prince has extremely high standards. Among so many royal relatives and high-ranking officials, not many can get a few words of praise from him.
"If that's the case, why do you let me go?" Jiang Xiancao asked.
"Because you shouldn't be involved in these things."
Shen Yubai looked determined and said in a deep voice:
"You cooperated with me before in order to avenge the Jiang family. Now your goal has been achieved. As for the Sun family and your maternal grandfather's revenge, I will avenge them on your behalf."
