My face flushed red. When you asked my father for her hand in marriage, you clearly said that you were not married. So what was she?
Madam Zou remained silent.
Wen Qian sighed, "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. She is indeed my wife, my first wife, and the true wife of the top scholar."
My heart feels like it's being slowly tortured. She's your first wife, so what am I? I'm an innocent girl, the daughter of a general, I'm worthy of being the Crown Princess, how could I be your concubine?
I said, "Then what am I?"
Wen Qian's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "I don't want to waste my talent. Your talent as a top scholar is a good match for me!"
I was stunned. Well, they were a good match! I was just a stepping stone for his promotion and wealth.
Actually, I had this premonition a long time ago, but I was just deceiving myself.
Wen Qian seemed to realize he had gone too far and wanted to say something more.
I didn't want to listen anymore, so I turned and walked outside.
Wen Qian panicked. "What are you doing?"
I said coldly, "Go and talk to my father about the wonderful husband he carefully selected for me."
Madam Zou suddenly knelt down in front of me, pleading for him.
She said, "Madam, I was wrong. I kept chasing him here. I will leave here immediately and beg you to forgive him."
I was even angrier. Did they think I was stupid? I heard those words clearly and distinctly.
I continued walking towards the door.
Wen Qian knelt down and said, "Madam, I was wrong. For the sake of fame and career, I concealed my marriage from myself and abandoned my wife just to marry you. If you go to your father-in-law now, my life will be over."
My foot, which was about to step out the door, stopped.
It wasn't because he said his life was over.
It's not because they said the exact same thing.
I stood at the doorway, with a full moon shining outside.
My heart is broken!
Wen Qian and Zou Niangzi walked to the door and knelt down in front of me.
I looked at Wen Qian, too sad to speak. Who said a man's knees are worth gold? He even knelt before my father with difficulty, yet today he's gone to such lengths for fame, fortune, and this cook.
They knelt before me, looking like a perfectly matched couple. What am I to them?
Seeing them made me feel disgusted and nauseous. At that time, I wished that my father had taught me martial arts skills instead of any kind of traditional female virtues, so that I wouldn't be seen as a jack-of-all-trades, a rough and uncultured person with a soft heart.
I walked outside.
Zou Niangzi tried to stop me, but Wen Qian stopped her and said, "Let her go!"
Lady Zou said, "If you die, I won't live on alone either."
I really threw up. The two of them were truly inseparable, their bond was so deep and profound!
I didn't leave the mansion, but instead wandered around the garden aimlessly.
As they walked, they arrived at the place where the two maids had been forced to kneel as punishment.
The maid looked at me in surprise, thinking I was going to punish them.
Everyone in this world fears me and resents me, but how many people truly understand me and care for me?
I said, "You guys go ahead!"
The two maids were overjoyed, never expecting such a good thing to happen to them.
I sat on the stone where they had been sitting, lost in thought for a long time.
The scene from just now kept replaying in my mind. Should I go find my father?
