"This is your illegitimate husband. He's quite good-looking. You're such a fool. Your mother has always told you that when you're young, you can't judge a person by their appearance. Good looks are useless."
"When we women get married, we must be discerning. We should never marry those good-looking but spineless men. Look at your brother-in-law. Not only does he have a good family background, he's already a scholar. In the future, he'll be a juren, or even the top scholar, and he'll even stand in the imperial court..."
Yun Luoyue was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and interrupted her directly.
"I'm rich, I can support my husband, why should you worry about him? I just like good-looking men, I like to support him, if you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself."
"Since your son-in-law is so nice, why don't you go find him? Why are you standing here?"
"My Yun family is just a merchant family with a lot of money. How can we compare to the scholarly family of the Shen family?"
Liao Junyu didn't feel that it was bad to be supported by someone else, and had a doting smile on her face the whole time.
What's wrong with him just wanting to live off someone? Others who want to live off someone don't have the ability to do so.
Chen Shishi strives hard to maintain the image of a loving mother.
"Mother Yueyue came here today to borrow some silver from you. Isn't your Uncle Wu going to take the imperial examination? Lend me a hundred taels of silver. When your Uncle Wu passes, won't you also benefit from it?"
Bah! I don't want to be associated with that kind of person, I can't even reach your level, so I'll just leave you to yourself.
"You're such a joke. It's none of my business that your brother Wu has passed the high school entrance exam. Besides, he's been taking it for over ten years and he's still a poor scholar."
"How can you guarantee that he will pass the exam this time? If you hadn't stolen my father's money to support him all these years, how could he have maintained the appearance of a scholar?"
Chen Shishi can't stand people talking about her brother Wu.
"How can you say that about your Uncle Wu! If you come to curry favor with him when he gets into high school, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter."
Bah, you think too much. Not to mention that he has no talent and cannot pass the exam, even if he is talented, what can he do?
So what if he became the top scholar? Sooner or later, the world of Dongli Kingdom would change. If his country and family were gone, what good would it do to become the top scholar?
"Alright, stop standing here and getting in the way. I've already stopped recognizing you as my mother, and you don't have to think about the mother-daughter relationship with me."
"As for you being so poor that you have to wear coarse linen clothes, that's your own choice. You can't live a life of luxury with delicacies from land and sea, silk and satin, but you insist on eating simple meals with your brother Wu. I can't understand it, but I think you must be very happy. Okay, go away and don't come here again."
Chen Shishi started cursing at her from behind, calling her an unfilial daughter and an ungrateful woman.
