The maid had given Song He'er quite a hard time earlier, but seeing Ruan Wenxiao protecting her now, she understood what was going on. She quickly closed the door and hurried away...
“Aunt, these are two different things. In this world, you are my closest relative, and I am your only support. But that doesn’t mean I will have the same thoughts or treat people the same way as you. It’s wrong of you to humiliate an unmarried girl like this. I’m going to talk back to you!”
"You...you!"
"She's a girl from a good family. As for what you just said about brothels and theaters, is that something an elder should say? You just said she's not a businesswoman, but do you know that the batch of fine silk our family purchased for the nobles in the palace a few days ago all came from her workshops? She's only twenty years old, and that's already quite rare. For you to use those words to insult her is infuriating!"
After her explanation, Ruan San Niang was speechless. She had indeed underestimated Song He'er and hadn't realized that she was a businesswoman.
"I don't know what she does, I only know that she has come to see you time and time again. I'm afraid that she will interfere with your studies!"
Song He'er sneered, raised her head, and stared directly into Ruan San Niang's eyes with her icy gaze. "So, you think you can insult me at will? Judging people by their appearance is not a sustainable way to do business."
"Fine, fine, just consider it bad luck of mine for meddling! I'm leaving now!"
Having no other option, Ruan Sanniang straightened up and walked out of the room without hesitation.
Song He'er felt a lump in her throat and her eyes began to well up with tears.
It's already incredibly difficult for a woman to get to where she is today, so why do people always question her, ridicule her, and make fun of her?
Are all the great men in the world destined to be men? Why? Why, in this feudal and superstitious era, are women destined to be men's stepping stones?
"I'm sorry... please don't take my aunt's words to heart, she didn't mean it..."
........
