"Aunt Zhao, as long as you have made up your mind, it's fine."
Chen Wei was sincerely happy for Aunt Zhao, but at the same time, she would also tell her that the future was out of her control: "In the days ahead, there may be a lot of gossip and you may suffer injustice."
"But your life will no longer be controlled by the Marquis' Mansion."
“As long as every step in the future is what you want, then you are free. Even if you are confined to the secular world, your soul will still be passionate.”
Aunt Zhao got up from the ground and nodded heavily, her face showing unconcealable joy.
Before, she didn’t understand what Chen Wei meant by freedom, nor did she understand why Chen Wei worked so hard, giving up wealth and glory, and insisting on practicing martial arts, doing business, making money, and fighting to regain control of his destiny.
But just now, she suddenly understood.
When Madam Hou could send her to the Dong family to apologize with just a few words.
When Master Dong teased a woman, the one who was despised by everyone in the end was the innocent woman.
When she was ready to fail, Qin Shuyu, the mistress, came forward without hesitation and abandoned her on behalf of the Marquis.
Then she understood.
Freedom is also destiny.
Taking destiny into your own hands is better than thousands of wealth and glory.
Chen Wei and Aunt Zhao smiled at each other, as if they were thankful for every step they had taken these days, each one of them treading on thin ice. "Let's go! Pack your luggage, and I'll take you out of the house."
The two of them left supporting each other.
After Shen Wei and Aunt Zhao disappeared, Lu's mother, who was standing far away at the rockery, sneered with a look of disdain on her face.
Originally, Lu's mother was going to take Miss Lu to the main hall, but Miss Lu insisted on staying here and even kept talking to Chen Wei on behalf of Aunt Zhao.
Mother Lu simply couldn't understand why her usually sensible daughter would say such a ridiculous thing today. She looked at Aunt Zhao's back as she left and said coldly, "Do you really think they're right?"
"I think you're becoming more and more unruly! Where have all your good manners gone? You're even speaking up for this debauched abandoned woman."
"Mother, you think what happened today is due to Aunt Zhao's promiscuous seduction, right?" Miss Lu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She didn't know how to deny her mother.
I don’t know how to prove that Aunt Zhao is not wrong.
She just felt that everything she had learned, thought and knew was ridiculous!
The mother said that men are all upright and capable of great things, with broad minds and the potential to achieve great things. However, Mr. Dong almost defiled her after he finished spending time with her!
My mother said that the women in the harem were all petty and ambitious, and only knew how to resort to despicable means. She asked her to do her best to control the concubines and mistresses when she became the mistress of the house.
Let them know that the mistress's authority cannot be challenged. Only by establishing her authority can those concubines dare not disrespect her and act recklessly.
But what is the result?
result!
Chen Wei's righteousness, Qin Shuyu's tolerance, and Aunt Zhao's courage are all so dazzling that they let Miss Lu see what it means to truly stand tall and upright.
"Isn't it?"
"Look at Chen Wei. A great marquis has become a laughing stock in the whole capital because of a foxy woman like her. He even talks about being together for life. What a foolish dream. How can an orphan like her, who is nothing, be worthy of him?"
"If the old marquis were still alive, there wouldn't be such absurd things happening now!"
"Let's look at that immoral Concubine Zhao. Whether she seduced Master Dong or not is aside from the fact. The fact that she was out wandering around on such an important day means she's not innocent, and in the end, she even damaged Master Dong's foundation!"
"Such a major event, a matter of continuing the family line, yet the Marquisate just evaded the issue and dismissed the person."
"If this kind of thing happened in our Xiangguo Mansion, we would first give that bastard a hundred lashes. If he's not dead, we'd send him directly to the Dong Mansion to confess his crime."
"It's a pity for the young master of the Dong family. I discussed it with the master before and was planning to make him my son-in-law."
“........”
Listening to her mother's biased words, Miss Lu felt a sense of depression in her chest. She wanted to laugh, but couldn't; she wanted to cry, but couldn't cry out.
All the grievances and panic today suddenly broke out due to my mother's lack of understanding.
Miss Lu suddenly raised her head, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Mother, Aunt Zhao is right, she is innocent, how could she be wrong!"
"It was Master Dong who was tempted by beauty. He did everything. Why is Aunt Zhao the one being punished? Is it because she's a concubine that she deserves to die?"
