Su Zhu had never thought about these things, so when Aunt Zhao asked such a question, she opened her mouth in shock, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
There was even a sense of resonance deep in my heart.
But in the end, this ray of resonance was suppressed by twenty years of stubborn thinking, and she mumbled, "Why so many whys? This, this has always been the case."
"That's what every woman does. Didn't your mother teach you? This is the way it should be. This is what a decent woman should learn and do."
"Aunt Zhao, why are you so weird today?"
"Why would you ask such immoral words? It's the same as what Miss Shen said. She is really a ball of black ink. Not only is she immoral, but she also makes you so rebellious."
So this is the pressure and misunderstanding that Chen Wei has been under all this time?
Aunt Zhao was an outsider before, and she couldn't understand Chen Wei's mood at that time, the pain of making a fuss to prove himself. She used to think that Chen Wei was just a lunatic.
But at this moment.
Aunt Zhao stood outside the situation.
Hearing these questioning and sarcastic words, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She was a little angry and unwilling, her heart was beating very fast, and her chest was filled with thousands of words she wanted to refute, but when she met Su Zhu's stubborn eyes, she swallowed them all back.
If I tell you, will Suzhu understand?
Can saying it change anything?
cannot.
Just like Chen Wei had shouted countless times before that women also have dignity, at that time, no one could understand Chen Wei.
"Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?... In the face of crisis and fate, what's the use of all these rules I've learned, those skills to seduce men, those tricks to keep my husband captive?"
"When that knife came at me, I didn't even have the strength to run away, let alone change my fate..."
"I don't understand. That's all. You won't understand."
"Madam, I'm going back to my room." Aunt Zhao bowed to Qin Shuyu, and then left the main courtyard with a heavy heart.
Qin Shuyu and Su Zhu looked at her gradually receding figure, slightly stunned.
These words sound so familiar.
Before Chen Wei, I seemed to have said something like this: "Does it have to be right to do this all the time? Does everyone else's life process follow this path? Does that mean I have to follow it?"
All their thorns were plucked out, their self-awareness was imprisoned, and they were trained to be docile and harmless rabbits. They were weak and powerless, and it took them three breaths to jump two steps.
They are like this,
How can we fight for our own rights?
What can I offer my husband in exchange for respect and equality?
"Madam, has Aunt Zhao lost her mind? Why is she just spouting nonsense? She even says I don't understand. How can I not understand? What concubine doesn't fight for her status?!"
Su Zhu's eyes were filled with disdain: "How can she look like a concubine now?"
"And Miss Shen, why did she open an egg shop and advertise it? It would be a blessing if she didn't make the Marquis' Mansion a mess. How could she still do business?"
"There's no example of a woman running a business in the capital. A woman from a family background, she knows nothing and can't compare to those upright male shopkeepers. She's definitely going to lose all the Marquis' money again!"
Because Qin Shuyu was punished by Madam Hou, Su Zhu's impression of Chen Wei became worse.
If Chen Wei hadn't insisted on saving Aunt Zhao and protecting the emperor.
Did Madam break the rules and get scolded by Madam Hou?
Having an heir to a marquisate is a very important matter.
To put it nicely, Aunt Zhao was half the master of the Marquis's Mansion, but Su Zhu, a maid who had been instilled with the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children since childhood, knew it very well in her heart and looked down on concubines from the bottom of her heart.
In Su Zhu's view, except for the mistress, all unfavored concubines are tools for continuing the family line.
"Suzhu, do you also think that women can't do anything and understand nothing, and are inferior to men in every way?" Qin Shuyu retracted his gaze, feeling a little sour in his heart and uncomfortable.
But I can’t explain exactly why I feel uncomfortable.
Su Zhu responded as a matter of course: "Of course it is so. Men want to achieve great things and win a bright future. They are all good men who want to do great things. What else can women do besides taking care of the harem?"
"Madam... I, I'm not talking about you. You are very powerful in Suzhu's eyes. You can read and manage accounts. You are different from Miss Shen and the others. Whoever marries you will be blessed."
Qin Shuyu smiled perfunctorily, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
Women are inferior to men in every way.
But!
But she thinks she is no worse than her younger brother.
She was well-read, had beautiful handwriting, could compose poetry, and do accounting. Before she got married, she could also talk to her father about state affairs.
She is better than her younger brother who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in every way.
But her father and mother... never praised her for her beautiful handwriting, or her eloquence, or her unique insights into state affairs.
But my biological brother...
The phrase 'the light rain falls continuously, and the clouds and mist surround the mountains' can make my father praise for three days and three nights, smiling from ear to ear. He is also full of pride and pride towards my mother, who has always been strict with me.
From that moment on, Qin Shuyu knew.
Even if she was a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more knowledgeable than her younger brother, even if she became the most talented woman in the capital, it would be useless and would not earn her father any praise or pride.
"It has always been like this, is it right..." Qin Shuyu shook his head in a state of disbelief, not knowing whether he was asking himself or his parents who only saw his younger brother in their eyes.
"Ma'am, what did you say?"
"Nothing, go back to your room."
Father.
If my daughter can achieve success and bring honor to the Qin family, will you also praise me when I write well, saying that my talent is truly extraordinary.
That's all.
None of this can compare to how great it would be if my daughter were a boy.
If she were a man, she might not be troubled by the love affairs of children. She would think over and over again at night, how could Xie Yuchuan, her childhood sweetheart and her harmonious partner, change his heart?
What exactly did she do wrong? She had clearly followed her mother's instructions to the utmost, so why couldn't she retain her husband's affection...
at this time.
Side courtyard.
Not long after Chen Wei returned to his room, Xie Yuchuan learned the news.
He missed her terribly during the past three days. The colder and more indifferent Chen Wei was to him, the more he missed her. As soon as he heard that she had returned home, he immediately hurried into Chen Wei's boudoir.
As soon as you enter the door.
Xie Yuchuan was stunned by the scene before him.
