Madam Feng was having some trouble processing this.
Everyone in the small courtyard and village knew that Su Jiaoniang missed her deceased husband and would go to his grave to burn paper money every few days.
Talking to the grave.
A person sits silently.
Those are all behaviors that occur when you miss someone.
She found it hard to accept that she didn't like her deceased husband.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Madam Feng tried her best to avoid being aggressive with her words. She suspected that the Regent had lost his mind.
Lu Wujiu glanced at Madam Feng.
He got up and walked outside.
She couldn't even tell that the woman didn't love anyone; she was just lucky.
It's not something you can gain through strength and intelligence.
Madam Feng yawned and walked towards Su Jiaoniang's room. She felt that she should tell this joke to Su Jiaoniang as well.
Su Jiaoniang stared at Madam Feng.
She didn't find the joke funny at all. Lu Wujiu was right; she had never loved the original owner's husband. Before she knew Gu Xizhou was Lu Wujiu, she had even developed some feelings for him and considered trying to develop a relationship with him.
After learning about the bizarre things men do, Su Jiaoniang found it all astonishing.
Anyone who has ever seriously pursued a woman would not use such methods...
Su Jiaoniang stuffed incense into this person's hand, reminding her to eat incense—she remembered this well. She was a human, someone who needed to eat and defecate. She wasn't a ghost that lived on incense, nor a fairy who could survive on dew.
“I think His Highness is quite serious. You should have moved on from that previous relationship. Perhaps it’s because His Highness has always been the one being flattered, and this is the first time in his life that he has taken the initiative to pursue someone. If he makes a mistake, please be understanding.” Madam Feng tried to speak up for Lu Wujiu.
A high-ranking prince with no wife or children. If Su Meimei is willing, she can marry him and become a princess. If she has the ability to make the regent prince infertile like Rong Zhen, her child can inherit all the rights and property.
That would be a good choice. It's hard for a woman to support a family on her own. If she can find someone who understands her and can grow old with her but can't have children, she shouldn't reject them from the start.
"Maybe!" Su Jiaoniang nodded.
The powerful regent, in his pursuit of a woman, is so flustered and makes so many mistakes that, in comparison, he's rather endearing.
Shaking her head slightly, Su Jiaoniang was meticulous.
They won't be easily persuaded.
Madam Feng yawned; she couldn't say what was on her mind directly.
However, women should not easily show kindness to men; if they do, they will be doomed.
Kindness is a wonderful quality, but it should be used in the right way.
Never sympathize with men, or... you'll be stepping into hell.
Having witnessed the fickleness of one man and the heartlessness of all men, Madam Feng breathed a sigh of relief. She had to be kind, not let bad things defeat her, and not lose her true self.
Madam Feng lay on the bed and finally fell asleep.
Su Jiaoniang pushed open the door and saw a man standing in the courtyard instructing Futu on martial arts.
He was very serious, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat despite the snow.
He is very responsible.
Very focused.
He's a nice person!
Despite her flustered actions, Su Jiaoniang smiled.
Any one of these things, taken out individually, would be enough to make him a laughingstock for a lifetime.
Lu Wujiu turned around and met Su Jiaoniang's smiling face, and was stunned for a moment.
He walked towards Su Jiaoniang.
After getting closer, I don't know what to say.
Su Jiaoniang looked at the man in front of her. She wanted to see how much of his sincerity was genuine. Just as Madam Feng said, if they shared the same ideals, it wouldn't be bad to have another experience.
What a sacrifice a prince should make! Instead of focusing on his career in Qi, he's here chasing after women!
Forget it, she can't be a femme fatale anymore. This prince isn't exactly a legitimate ruler either. If he really messes up the Qi Kingdom, that's his business.
However, she thought that the prince in front of her would not cause chaos in the country.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have supported Changsheng to the top.
He probably really started to see himself as a prince; in other words, he was more convinced of his princely status.
That's fine!
That way she could exploit his fatal weakness.
"Chang Sheng is asking you if you have time to go to the State of Qi." Lu Wujiu finally found a topic to talk about.
Su Jiaoniang shook her head: "No."
If you can't even handle things in the Great Zhou, what are you going to do in the State of Qi?
It is said that although this prince is as cold-faced as the King of Hell, many married and unmarried people in the Qi Kingdom are thinking about him. If they go there, they might be killed by women raised in a greenhouse.
Lu Wujiu stared at her, then suddenly asked, "How should I pursue you?"
"Huh?" Su Jiaoniang was stunned.
She didn't even know the answer to that question.
Lu Wujiu continued: "In governing a country, there are books and historical records left by our ancestors that we can analyze and refer to. In war, there are military strategies and generals who specialize in these fields to lead and guide us. There are also methods for teaching longevity, as well as methods written by several Grand Tutors. But what about pursuing women?"
There are no books that describe how to pursue women.
Even those romantic stories read by women in their boudoirs under the moonlit flowers.
They were all women who could be won over by a simple bunch of wildflowers and a little roadside snack.
It's as if a lady from a respectable family is a woman who has never eaten or planted flowers, and can get what she wants with ease.
...
That kind of approach is inappropriate for women.
It was equally insulting.
“The Regent is impressive; he needs to be taught even this,” Su Jiaoniang smiled.
At the same time, he also learned why the man had transformed from the lonely and aloof little hunter in his original memories into the man he is now.
Having experienced battlefields and carnage, and possessing strong learning abilities, coupled with mentors around him, it's not impossible for him to become a renowned prince.
After all, the minds of geniuses are different from those of ordinary people.
Lu Wujiu nodded.
His eyes were filled with seriousness.
Su Jiaoniang's mind flashed back to those prime-time dramas where the male lead stood downstairs all night in the rain, and the female lead, finding out the next day, felt sorry for him and reconciled with him. Staring at Lu Wujiu's chest for a few moments, she thought, "This self-inflicted suffering is even more painful than being soaked in the rain. Why didn't she feel sorry for him? Why didn't she forgive him?"
After thinking it over, she realized it might be because she wasn't the female lead.
The gaze fell upon Futu. In the original story, the female protagonist was younger than Futu, and it wasn't until after Futu had wielded immense power that the female protagonist transmigrated into the body of a young girl...
“I don’t know either. You’re getting a little anxious. If you’re preoccupied with matters of the Qi court, you can go back first. After all, you have a responsibility to your family, your country, and the world. If you can’t handle it, you have to put it aside for now,” Su Jiaoniang suggested.
Lu Wujiu shook his head: "The fates of people in this world are all kinds of strange and wonderful. If you have no one in your heart, I can take advantage of the situation. But if I am not here, and you meet someone else, how should I conduct myself?"
...
"Love beauty more than power?" Su Jiaoniang asked in surprise.
Lu Wujiu shook his head: "The country itself is not mine, it has never belonged to me, but people..." have the opportunity to belong to him.
