The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. On this day in previous years, Su's mother would always take her and Su Qinghe to Lingshan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to climb the mountain, hang dogwood, and burn incense.

A few days ago, Su's mother also sent someone to convey a message, saying that they would still go to Lingshan Temple this year.

Su Qingwan didn't want to go at first, but finally agreed.

Early in the morning, the Su Mansion's carriage arrived.

Seeing her, Su's mother showed a trace of heartache on her face.

"Thin."

Su's mother clapped her hands and said.

Su Qingwan's heart softened, and some of her previous grudges against Su's mother also dissipated a lot.

"Where's the second sister?"

Su Qingwan asked:

"Are you going to pick her up now?"

Mother Su shook her head:

"She sent someone to pass on the message, saying that she was going there herself."

Su Qingwan nodded after hearing this and didn't ask any more questions.

Su's mother held her hand with a worried look on her face:

"Are you and your uncle doing well now?"

"pretty good."

As soon as Su Qingwan finished speaking, a hint of sadness appeared in Su's mother's eyes:

"What? Are we mother and daughter going to be so formal when talking to each other now? Mother can't even hear a single truth from you?"

Su Qingwan knew that her mother had misunderstood:

"Mom, it's really fine. He and I are not like what people say outside."

The two of them are just ignoring each other now, and no one in the mansion dares to make her angry.

"Really?"

Mother Su still didn't quite believe it:

"I heard that the censors are reporting him for favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife."

Hearing this, Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows.

Yan Mingjue was not a high-ranking official, and he was a member of the Eagle Bureau. Normally, an imperial censor would not cause such trouble.

It is estimated that someone gave Yan Ming a special gift.

However, this kind of thing is of no concern to Yan Mingjue, and he probably won't take it to heart at all.

She said a few simple words, and Su's mother felt relieved.

"I don't know what's going on. It seems like someone is deliberately targeting our family."

"I heard from Qinghe that Shulang almost got into trouble before."

After Su's mother finished speaking, she realized that she shouldn't say this in front of her eldest daughter.

She subconsciously looked at Su Qingwan, and saw a thoughtful look in her eyes. In Su's mother's eyes, this meant that her eldest daughter had not yet forgotten Zhou Shulan.

She frowned and advised gently:

"Forget it, this is other people's business."

"Now, you still have to be on good terms with Ming Jue."

"I saw that the last time he came to pick you up, he didn't seem to care about you at all."

"When a couple fights in bed, they make up in the end. You shouldn't be so arrogant all the time. Only when you give in appropriately can you understand the situation and know how to be nice."

"Since we are newly married now, it is important to have a child as soon as possible."

These words are old hat, and Su Qingwan used to think so too, but for some reason, she only felt annoyed when she heard them now.

She interrupted Su's mother:

"Mother, I know."

Seeing that she didn't want to listen anymore, Su's mother could only say:

"I know you have your own ideas."

"You run a good shop, too."

"But, Qing Wan, you are a woman after all, and things outside should be handled by men."

"Since ancient times, women have been in charge of the harem."

Su Qingwan also knew this, but today she felt it was extremely harsh. She suddenly said:

"Can a woman not live without a man?"

Su's mother's heart skipped a beat:

"What are you talking about?"

Su Qingwan pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Mother Su was worried, and said sternly:

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Since ancient times, which divorced woman has ever had a good ending?"

"It would be fine if you had a brother to rely on, but you also know the situation at home."

Su Qingwan closed her eyes when she heard that.

On that day, she was framed and had an affair with Yan Mingjue. Her father and grandmother regarded her as a stain and could not wait to marry her off.

Not to mention being divorced, even if it was a divorce, she would not be able to enter the Su family's door.

She has seen through what kind of people her father and grandmother are.

If it weren't for Yan Mingjue, there would be no place for her in the whole world.

As a woman, do I have to endure these injustices?

Su Qingwan lowered her brows, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Su's mother wanted to say something, but Su Qinghe's voice came from outside:

"Mother, Sister!"
