Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The stall owner was speechless after being asked this question, and she actually didn't know why.

After closing the stall, she immediately sought out familiar sisters to vent her feelings, and then they all began to question life together.

Why have they never thought of not getting married? Even though they know they may suffer if they marry, even though they have never met the other person, even though they know nothing about their future life.

Why would people gossip about me if I didn't get married? Am I considered an outlier?

It is obvious that in many cases, life is better not getting married than getting married!

Hongmei was listening to the ladies' words in the dark, her lips slightly raised.

When women are able to support themselves, their sense of self-worth will increase accordingly, and the value of men in their hearts will also decrease.

If gossip were reduced, many women might stop marrying just for the sake of getting married.

She deliberately set up her stall next to the chatterbox elder sister just to see if the elder sister could accept this point of view.

If they can accept it, let the sisters disguise themselves as aunties and chat with people to spread the point of view; if not, make other plans.

At the same time, Xingyin came to Zuo Mansion with Princess Yun's token and said to the doorman, "Our princess wants to see the second young lady of your mansion."

Miss Zuo Er was a little confused. She didn't know Princess Yun, but she didn't dare to be negligent and followed Xingyin to the Yun Palace.

Xinghuo calculated the time and felt that he was about to meet Xingyin, so he suddenly pinched Wuti's fingertips.

The sudden touch made Wu Ti's heartbeat accelerate instantly, and a subtle tremor came from his fingertips.

He tried to suppress the turmoil in his heart, but his breathing became uneven involuntarily.

Xinghuo observed Wu Ti's reaction, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and pinched it again.

Wu Ti took a deep breath, trying to steady his breathing, and according to the script they had agreed upon before, he took the initiative to put his arm on the arm of Young Master Rong San.

"Sir, my family's shop is in front of us." Wu Ti said softly, with a shy blush on her face, "Can I just carry you over there? Let my father see that I already have someone I like, so that when you propose marriage tomorrow, it will be smoother."

Young Master Rong San felt Wu Ti's nervousness and anticipation. He smiled slightly, with a warm light flashing in his eyes.

He gently held Wu Ti's hand and responded tenderly: "If the girl is willing, I am of course happy."

The two of them walked forward hand in hand, as if there was only each other in their eyes.

At this moment, a voice filled with pain and surprise broke the silence: "Mr. Rong San, what are you doing..."

Young Master Rong San was slightly stunned. He turned his head and saw Miss Zuo standing not far away, looking at him and Wu Ti with a complicated expression.

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart. How could Miss Zuo appear here?

In his impression, the rules in Miss Zuo's family were extremely strict. She seldom went out on weekdays, let alone so late.

Wu Ti blocked the Third Master Rong behind him, looking alert: "Who are you? What do you want to do to my fiancé?"

"Fiancé?" Miss Zuo's voice suddenly rose, and she was obviously shocked by the news. "How come you are engaged?"

Xingyin immediately spoke up, "Is this lady mistaken? Young Master Rong San is indeed engaged to our young lady."

Wu Ti pulled the Third Master Rong out from behind and asked, "Are you already engaged? Are you lying to me?"

Xinghuo stamped her feet in anger, "You cheated our lady? Pay the money back first! Then we can settle the score!"

Of course, Young Master Rong San was reluctant to part with the two hundred taels he had already obtained, so he hurriedly explained, "Miss Wu has misunderstood. My marriage with this young lady was just a joke between my parents. It should not be taken seriously."

His words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Miss Zuo stunned for a moment.

She stood there, her lips slightly parted, but no words came out.

Her heart was filled with pain and loss, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

Xingyin asked on behalf of Miss Zuo: "Mr. Rong San, what do you mean by this? Do you know that our young lady sold all her jewelry to raise money for you? Why didn't you say it was a joke when you took the money?"

Young Master Rong San was panicked and hurriedly explained, "It's not like that, Miss Wu, I..." However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wu Ti.

Wu Ti looked at the Third Master Rong with a firm gaze, "I want you to choose between me and her now. As long as you choose, no matter who you choose, I will not take back the money."

Young Master Rong San looked at Wu Ti and felt a little hesitant.

However, in the end he still chose money: "Of course I choose you, Miss Wu."

"Then can you express your feelings to me in front of her?" Wu Ti asked.

Young Master Rong San always spoke sweet words without hesitation: "Miss Wu, I have already said that I fell in love with you at first sight, and we are especially destined to be together..."

Miss Zuo listened to the conversation between the two and her tears flowed uncontrollably. The words were obviously from the bottom of her heart, but they were like a knife stabbing her heart, making her feel so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Xingyin asked Miss Zuo in a low voice: "Are you okay? Do you need our princess to step in and get your marriage back?"

Miss Zuo wiped her tears and shook her head gently, "Thank you for your kindness, but no thanks." She smiled bitterly, "I can't force what's not mine."

Seeing that Miss Zuo had expressed her opinion, Xingyin finally couldn't hold back her eager hands and slapped the third son of Rong in the face, "You liar! Return all the money our Miss gave you! Otherwise, I will go to your Rong family to make trouble!"

Wu Ti also looked at the Third Master Rong, "Why don't you return the money to her quickly? Do you still want to pester her?"

Young Master Rong San was a little confused by the slap. He quickly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and said, "Take it quickly. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Xingyin immediately took the money and left holding Miss Zuo's hand.

Miss Zuo followed Xingyin absentmindedly until they were some distance away, and then she realized that she had come to a place called Bamboo Courtyard, not Prince Yun's Palace.

Xingyin shouted, "Sisters, come and help! This lady has just been cheated by a man, and I'm afraid she will be upset when she goes back."

Wanfeng appeared with other sisters, and they walked inside holding Miss Zuo's hands.

Today, they are able to face up to the pain of the past and can talk about the past with a smile.

Miss Zuo listened to their stories and suddenly felt how lucky she was! It was not worth it to be sad for a liar.

She sincerely thanked the sisters: "Thank you sisters, I will definitely put myself first in the future. Even if Mr. Rong San remembers my kindness again, I will not look back."

However, she didn't know that Young Master Rong San had already thought of making her come back.

After all, as Xingyin took Miss Zuo away, the drama came to an end. Wu Ti and Xinghuo slapped Young Master Rong San at the same time and stole the money back.

After Miss Wu suddenly turned hostile and his wallet was stolen, Mr. Rong San remembered the ten taels of silver that were taken away...

After finishing the work, Wu Ti and Xing Huo returned to Prince Yun's Palace together.

When Shen Xingxi heard that Xinghuo had returned, she immediately pushed Prince Yun away from her arms, stood up and went to the outer room.

She keenly discovered that whenever Xinghuo smiled at Wuti, Wuti would avoid her gaze.

His eyes flickered slightly. After returning to the main courtyard with Xinghuo and discussing the feasibility of this plan to help others, he could not help but ask, "What did you do to Wu Ti?"

Xinghuo gave a meaningful smile, "Just treat him as a normal lady, insert a pearl hairpin, touch his back, and pinch his fingertips."

"Tsk, you're quite good at it." Shen Xingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, holding up the teacup and asked leisurely: "Do you want me to create opportunities for you?"

"It really is necessary, but it's not the cry of the crow, but the setting of the moon."
