Chapter 182 Caixia's Thoughts
Then why did she ask Murong Li to do that?
What's more, he is right. Since he is in that position, he cannot consider the problem one-sidedly.
Always consider the overall situation first. Even if you can't do something at the time, you don't know what will happen later.
Those in power always wear masks when doing things.
Su Yue sighed. Now was not the time to dwell on these matters. No matter what Murong Li did, the important thing was to find Murong Jing. He was a dangerous man and he had to be killed.
Others are racking their brains to kill them, but they are here thinking about these things and almost causing an internal conflict.
Su Yue felt quite embarrassed. She had been living a relaxing life here for a few months, but now she was being pretentious.
"Let's go, let's go back." Su Yue took the initiative to hold Murong Li's hand and walked away.
Murong Li nodded. Seeing that her expression had eased a lot, she must be no longer angry. He asked cautiously, "Yuer is not angry anymore?"
Su Yue rolled her eyes at her: "Why are you so angry? Go home and eat."
"Okay, okay, let's go home and eat."
Murong Li was sure that Su Yue was no longer angry, and in a very good mood, he followed her back to the Su Mansion.
In the distance, three secret guards turned their heads and disappeared. Only one person was seen taking out a birdcage from somewhere, taking out a white pigeon from it, stuffing a piece of paper into a small bamboo tube with the pigeon's leg, and then releasing the pigeon.
These three people were the four secret guards sent by the emperor. They saw what happened on the street today.
Murong Li's martial arts skills were very strong, so they didn't dare to get too close. Although they didn't recognize who those men in black were, they later found an arrow that flew into the opposite alley. Although there was no mark on the arrow, they could recognize that it came from the capital.
They had seen it a few years ago. It was the arrow used by the special bows of the secret guards of Prince Jing's Palace.
The three of them immediately understood that King Jing was not dead.
One of the purposes of their coming to Northwest County was to monitor Murong Li and find Murong Jing. They had been here for so long but had no news of him. Today they learned that he had sent people to kill Murong Li.
This shows that the relationship between Murong Li and Murong Jing is not as Murong Yi said, that the two are in collusion.
If there really was collusion, Murong Jing wouldn't have had to send people to kill Murong Li on New Year's Day. He could have killed him without anyone knowing when the two were together.
So Prince Yi was panicking, but is there any need to explain his purpose?
After the carrier pigeon sent the message, the three of them hid from a distance and watched Murong Li.
Murong Jing's men appeared, but they were all dead. Only by monitoring Murong Li could they find Murong Jing.
When Su Yue and the others returned to the Su Mansion, they saw that the Su family was anxiously waiting for them. Seeing that they returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Qiwen pulled Murong Li over and said, "Do you know what happened today?"
Murong Li nodded: "Those people are coming for us, Murong Jing's men."
Su Qiwen was not surprised when he heard this, he just frowned. He was probably the only one who would come to kill someone on New Year's Day.
"I'm glad you're okay." Su Qiwen patted Murong Li, looking like he had survived a disaster.
Murong Li just smiled when he saw it. There would be many more robberies and murders like this in the days to come.
The family came to the dining room. After dinner, the old marquis called Murong Li over, and Su Yue was called over by Mr. Su and his wife. After asking some questions, Su Yue returned to her own yard.
As soon as she came back, Caixia sneaked into her room and asked her all kinds of questions, telling her everything that had happened during this period.
After asking, Caixia asked Su Yue cautiously: "Miss, after you and your uncle get married, you will not live in the Su Mansion anymore. Do you want to take this servant with you?"
"Why do you ask? Of course you can follow me."
"Then?" Caixia was a little speechless, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Are you wondering if we can take you with us when we go to Yunwu Village?"
Caixia nodded nervously.
Su Yue glanced at her and said, "Do you like following me so much? Actually, you are no longer a slave. You can get married and have children like other girls in the future."
When Caixia heard her say this, her eyes immediately turned red with anxiety. She said with tears in her eyes, "Miss, I have followed you since I was a child. I don't know how to live without you. I will not marry or have children. I will only follow you for the rest of my life."
"Silly girl."
Su Yue knocked on Caixia's head, unable to understand what these ancient people were thinking. Didn't they want a free life at all and had to be slaves to others?
Before, Su He became a servant for Murong Yi in order to climb up the social ladder, so her behavior was understandable.
But Caixia couldn't understand it at all. She could have lived an ordinary life without being a slave.
But she couldn't get rid of him, so she was speechless.
"It would be so nice to be an ordinary person, without having to serve anyone. I can be free and do whatever I want. Why do I have to be a slave to others?"
Caixia lowered her head when she heard this, staring at her toes without saying a word, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly she raised her head and said tearfully, "Miss, I know exactly what I want in this life and what kind of life I want to live. Miss, you don't understand. Slaves like us don't know how to do anything but serve others. If we really get married and have children, it's fine if we meet a good husband, but if we meet a bad husband, our life will be worse than being a slave. That's like being treated like a slave. Not only do we have to serve our parents-in-law, but we also have to take care of our husband and children, and even more so, manage the household. Just thinking about that kind of life makes me shiver."
Su Yue was very surprised after hearing what Caixia said. She didn't expect that Caixia could think of such things.
What Caixia said made sense. No matter in which society, women's status in the family is like this. After getting married, women can only stay in the back house, take care of their husbands and children, serve their parents-in-law, and their whole lives revolve around the family.
Moreover, since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult problem to overcome. It is easier to deal with a sensible mother-in-law, but it is really hard to deal with a wicked mother-in-law who is unreasonable and bullies her daughter-in-law.
Here, the mother-in-law's abuse of her daughter-in-law does not constitute a crime, but rather a family matter. Even an honest official would find it difficult to judge family affairs. If you encounter such a thing, you cannot go to the government office to seek justice.
You can only endure it and wait until the day your daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, then you will be relieved.
This is the current social situation, and Su Yue is powerless to change anything.
Fortunately, after she married Murong Li, she no longer had a mother-in-law to serve her, as she was living in the cold palace far away in the capital.
"It's up to you. If you want to follow me, then follow me. If you meet someone you like and want to marry, I won't stop you."
"Thank you, Miss. I will follow you all my life." Caixia burst into laughter.
