The little ancestor of the family

"He!"

There was a hint of disdain in Mrs. Zhao's eyes.

"Didn't you persuade me last time to let him join King Rui?

I told him about it when I got home.

Unexpectedly, this man thought that I wanted to harm him, so he deliberately did the opposite and got in touch with Fang Yue.

Although he didn't do anything, after this matter was discovered, he has now been demoted two ranks and has completely become a marginal figure in the court."

"There is actually such a thing." Ye Xinran was a little surprised.

She knew that they didn't have a good relationship.

But what's the point if a husband and wife can reach such a point of suspicion of each other?

"I married him against my family's wishes. At that time, I admired his talent and thought he would be a great ruler.

Only after we got married did we realize that he was only good at reciting poems and composing couplets, and playing around with some poetry and songs."

"It's good to recognize this." Ye Xinran didn't know what to say, so she just echoed.

"At that time, he insisted on marrying a princess from southern Xinjiang, and my parents even advised me to divorce him.

But I was too stubborn at that time, and I was afraid that my illegitimate sisters would laugh at me when I returned, so I kept suppressing my resentment and preferred to be a couple with him than to go back to my parents’ home.”

Ye Xinran shrugged.

I really don't know how to comment on this. Maybe it's just a case of trying to save face but suffering in the end.

Mrs. Zhao did not wait for her comment and said, "The last time I bought the magic cream from you, I fell in love with Chongshan at first sight. I never thought that there would be such a charming man in the world.

But at that time, I didn't realize how much I was interested in Chongshan.

Maybe I still had hope for Zhao Jing at that time.

After that incident, I immediately went to find Chongshan and tricked him into leaving.”

"Ah."

Ye Xinran nodded, "Like I said just now, I won't bother about this matter."

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, "You just asked me what Zhao Jing's attitude is now."

"He, when things were not going well at court, he blamed me for not giving him good advice. Later, when he saw that I ignored him, he calmed down a bit.

We had reached an agreement a long time ago that he would remain chaste for his Princess of Southern Xinjiang, and I would also have the freedom to seek my own happiness.

No matter who I was related to or who I brought back to the palace, he pretended not to see it. "

"Having said that, when you really bring the person back, I'm afraid Lord Zhao will not remain indifferent." Ye Xinran said.

Mrs. Zhao laughed self-deprecatingly, "I also thought that he would be somewhat touched, and even come to apologize to me in order to keep me.

After all, he was demoted twice and is no longer the original Lord Zhao."

"What's the result?" Ye Xinran was a little curious.

"In the end, he seemed to have no other emotions except anger." Mrs. Zhao said coldly.

"He also told me that he only thought about marrying the princess from Southern Xinjiang and had not really married her. He asked me why I actually brought a man home."

"Doesn't he want to marry? Doesn't he have the ability to do so?"

Ye Xinran also felt that Zhao Jing was not a good person.

"That's right!" Mrs. Zhao agreed.

"If I hadn't heard you say that time, I would have always believed that women are women, content to stay in the back room and be good wives to men.

This is our whole life.

But look at you and your mother,

Your mother has a family business that has been passed down, and you are able to research prescriptions on your own and make such a useful facial cream.

Ordinary men cannot match this ability.

Who says that women must stay in the inner hall, endure grievances and listen to their superiors?

It took me several days and nights to figure out this truth, and I finally broke off relations with Zhao Jing.

If he dares to embarrass me and Chongshan, I will report him to the court for trying to curry favor with Fang Yue."

Ye Xinran smiled, "Madam Zhao, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say this in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will complain to Master Zhao?"

Madam Zhao covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Look at how outspoken I am. I was just trying to scare him. Where do I get any evidence?

But if the court wants to continue investigating him, I have no objection.

I believe the court will handle this impartially and will not implicate me."

Ye Xinran: "Madam Zhao is right. Although the emperor is young, he has always been fair. Besides, the laws in Daliang are strict now. If Lord Zhao is really wrong, the court will not let him go.

But Madam, please be careful here."

Ye Xinran reminded him, "I don't want my wife to end up with a reputation of being unfaithful to her husband."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything out of line before Zhao Jing and I divorce. Chongshan is by my side now, just like my younger brother.

I really treat him as my brother.”

"It's good that Madam has an idea."

Ye Xinran didn't ask any further questions.

She believed that Mrs. Zhao was willing to reveal so much to her today because she felt guilty.

But she was able to understand that living for herself was also a form of progress.

Mrs. Zhao told Ye Xinran everything she wanted to say, and made an appointment to buy the magic facial cream seven days later, thus completing everything she needed to do today.

Before leaving, she seemed to remember something and said to Ye Xinran: "By the way, do you know? Madam Tian is divorced."

"Ok?"

Ye Xinran was not familiar with them and had not heard of them.

"She," Mrs. Zhao said excitedly, "she suffered a lot of humiliation in the Tian family, but when she left this time, she was tough for once.

When she got married, she brought a lot of dowry. Over the years, the Tian family has been living on her dowry.

This time when she divorced, she forced the Tian family to fill up all the gaps in her dowry.

The old lady of the Tian family was so angry that she wanted to hang herself at the gate of the Zhou family. This went on for several days, making a big fool of herself for the people of Beijing."

"What do the people in Beijing say?" Ye Xinran was more curious about everyone's reaction.

"The people are all applauding!"

Madam Zhao’s face was filled with smiles, “The Tian family is famous for favoring concubines and ignoring wives.

The old lady of the Tian family is very unreasonable, and Zhou has suffered a lot from her over the years.

The main thing is that the Zhou family is well-off, and there is no need for the Zhou family's daughter to suffer this.

In the past, no one cared about this kind of thing, but now the court has a law that prohibits officials from favoring concubines and abandoning their wives, which can be regarded as supporting us women."

"That's right!" Ye Xinran agreed.

"Life is only a few decades long, so it's better to live happily!"

"Yes, yes!"

Mrs. Zhao was excited. "Miss Lu, I think what you said makes a lot of sense! It's really different from what I usually hear.

I have been angry for half my life, and I want to live a happier life in the future.

Miss Lu, I think you should run a women's ethics class. The things you said are the principles that girls should understand."
