"No one can separate me from Xiao Ma!"
"We truly love each other!"
"I am Li Shimin, and Xiao Ma is Yang Guifei. We will love each other dearly and never be separated for all eternity!"
"..."
Ruan Jiaojiao really wanted to remind him that Yang Guifei was Emperor Xuanzong's concubine, and that in the end, it was Emperor Xuanzong who ordered Yang Guifei's death.
But it doesn't matter, since people in the countryside aren't very educated anyway, they won't understand what he's babbling about.
At this moment, Shen Junmei also came into the room.
The gate to Fu Jun's house was open, and a number of people were peeking from outside.
After all, such rare rural romantic escapades are enough for them to chat about for a long, long time after meals.
Shen Junmei deliberately left the door open, wanting the villagers to know what kind of person Fu Jun really was, and how he abandoned her and their two children for a widow.
But... it's impossible to say that I'm not upset at all.
Fu Jun was, after all, the man she had been with for decades; she had wasted the first half of her life on him.
She worked tirelessly day and night for him, repeatedly ruining her body, all to give him a son.
In the end, all her efforts were less important to Fu Jun than Widow Ma's words, "I'll be waiting for you at home tonight."
Men, heh heh.
Sure enough, my sister-in-law is right. A woman can live for her children and for herself, but she should never live for a man.
Getting close to men will lead to unhappiness.
Although her sister-in-law and Fu Ting had a very good relationship, she did not lose herself in the relationship.
She did the right thing!
Therefore, Shen Junmei decided that today, she would live for herself!
She went in, though her clothes were not as nice as Widow Ma's, and even patched; though fine lines covered the corners of her eyes, making her look ten years older than she actually was; though her hands were covered in thick calluses, unlike Widow Ma's smooth and delicate hands...
However, she lived an upright life, and she could walk with her head held high, unafraid of what others might say!
"Oh, so this is your partner. I must say, your taste is really... terrible."
Widow Ma covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes darting around rudely at Shen Junmei.
Fu Jun suddenly remembered something, tugged at Widow Ma's hand, and said, "Don't provoke her, or else..."
Before he could finish speaking, his beloved woman interrupted him: "Fu Jun! Didn't you say you loved me? Didn't you say you'd rather sever ties with everyone in your family than not be with me? What's wrong with you now? You're not even letting me speak for this old hag! You really are... ah!!"
Before Widow Ma could finish speaking, Shen Junmei strode forward and slapped her hard across the face—a slap so loud that the echo could be heard by everyone present.
Fu Jun: "..." Sigh, I already told you not to mess with her, not because I'm siding with her and not with you, but because... she's really damn good at fighting!
They can beat you so badly you'll be begging for your mother's attention!
Widow Ma: "..." I feel like my teeth have fallen out, sob sob sob.
Widow Ma was numb.
Fu Jun really wanted to tell her, "Honey, don't be too nervous. You're not the first person to go numb."
"You, you actually dared to hit me?"
Widow Ma refused to admit defeat and insisted on saving face for herself.
She felt that if Fu Jun could kneel down and serve her, what reason did Shen Junmei, Fu Jun's abandoned wife, have to look down on her and beat her?
