Zhou Yu'er choked up.
An Zhengzheng, who was standing in front of him, had never experienced the trials of love and was still the same as before, even more composed and confident.
She stood quietly beside him, as if nothing in the world concerned her.
It seems that her cultivation level must have increased significantly over the past century to allow her to be so composed.
Zhou Yu'er said with a wry smile, "Now that we are both a hundred years old, I have never seen anyone who can reach the Golden Core stage at just over a hundred years old."
"No wonder the Zhou family was so wary of you back then." Even his cousin said so.
“Nothing is impossible,” An Zhengzheng said. “Yi Rou has also reached the second level of Foundation Establishment.”
The main reason for this is that the Bai Nu Ge (Hundred Women's Pavilion) profits support the family; otherwise, it would be impossible to support them through family support.
When Zhou Yu'er heard An Yirou's name, she paused slightly. Actually, she still remembered An Yirou a little.
"Back before I went to Siyue Gate, I saw your sister once at an auction, but it wasn't An Yirou, it was An Qinghuan."
This was something An Zhengzheng didn't know, and she looked at Zhou Yu'er with some surprise.
Zhou Yu'er, however, seemed to reminisce about her youthful days, saying, "Back then, all the ladies would bid on clothes and jewelry at auctions, while we unmarried girls would wait in the reading room."
An Zhengzheng listened quietly.
At that time, the maid who was taking care of them mentioned a newly published storybook, which tells the story of a noble gentleman and a beautiful lady, and was being sold in advance as a unique copy.
Zhou Yu'er and An Qinghuan both had their eyes on her, and the two argued fiercely over her.
In the end, it was Zhou Yu'er who brought up her identity as a young lady of the Zhou family that forced An Qinghuan to withdraw from the competition.
As Zhou Yu'er spoke, a tear welled up in the corner of her eye, teetering on the edge of her eyelid.
Who would have thought that, after being married twice, An Qinghuan would quickly take over the position of Miss Hai by writing storybooks?
There are still bestselling storybooks on the market now, with very fresh stories that are completely different from the stories of love and romance that used to be told.
It seemed that Zhou Yu'er hadn't met anyone she could talk to in a long time, so she talked a lot.
Taking advantage of a moment of silence, An Zhengzheng suddenly asked, "Are you happy now?"
Zhou Yu'er paused.
"I have no idea."
After leaving Zhou Xu, she hid away for a few months before returning to the Zhou family.
The girl who had disappeared and then returned home was considered a troublemaker. Soon, the Zhou family arranged for her to be married off. At that time, she was heartbroken and resigned to her fate.
She married into a decent family, and her first husband treated her well. However, after nearly a hundred years, she still had no children and was sent back to her husband.
She lacked the ability to be independent. When her husband loved her, she was his precious treasure, but when he abandoned her, she was powerless to help him.
Later, by chance, she married the woodcutter she is now, becoming a respectable wife in an ordinary family, and soon gave birth to a daughter.
But her husband was just an ordinary man, young, and after the initial excitement wore off, he became more concerned about her past and disliked that she was a remarried woman.
Zhou Yu'er had no choice but to humble herself and be submissive, eventually losing all of the Zhou family's temper.
Upon hearing this, An Zhengzheng felt an overwhelming sadness, and in a daze, she couldn't help but think...
Back then, I was focused on establishing the Hundred Women's Pavilion and cultivating myself, so I didn't have much patience for Zhou Yu'er.
She lowered her eyes slightly. If Zhou Yu'er were An Yirou, she would definitely be willing to devote more attention to her.
...Didn't I say that I was cultivating the path of ruthlessness, that I should have great love and selflessness? Did I develop a biased mind regarding Zhou Yu'er?
An Zhengzheng felt a heavy weight in her heart.
