I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Wang Ruofu nodded, "That's right. I've been thinking about this for a while. If your sister had married into the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion, and had a troublesome mother-in-law like Madam Yuan, and a husband who was so filial, I don't know how she would have survived. As for your father, don't even mention him. He wouldn't dare to fart against the Yuan family."

Rulan said: "So, it is still my grandmother who has a good eye and helped my sister find a good son-in-law."

Wang Ruofu said: "If your grandmother had such good vision, your aunt Kang and I wouldn't have such a messy marriage. In the end, your sister is the lucky one."

How could she know that it wasn't that Hualan was lucky, but that Qingguang was very clever. He killed Yuan Wenchun during the robbery and accidentally saved Hualan from marrying into the Yuan family, a den of tigers and wolves.

Lin Qinshuang also heard about the Earl Zhongqin's Mansion. She held Molan's hand and said seriously, "Mo'er, look, this is the good family your father found for your eldest sister. If it hadn't gone wrong that year, the happy event would have turned into a funeral, and Hualan would have been more miserable than Huanglian. Your eldest sister is lucky, but you can't rely on luck. I have to choose a good family for you no matter what."

Molan chuckled and said, "I don't care about any good family."

Lin Qinshuang said: "Marry a man, you will get clothes and food, how can a girl not marry?"

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and her face changed immediately: "Mo'er, you didn't drink the magic potion of the old woman in Shou'an Hall, did you?"

"what?"

Molan was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Lin Qinshuang saw that Molan was getting older and more beautiful, but she was not interested in marrying into a wealthy family as she asked her to do, and was always vague about her answers. She thought that Molan was bewitched by Old Madam Sheng.

She held onto Molan's hand tightly and said in panic, "Mo'er, don't believe that old hag's lies. As women, we have to marry rich and powerful men. The more prominent the family, the better. Don't disbelieve me, I've been there."

As she spoke, she told Molan all the reasons why Old Lady Sheng wanted her to marry the poor scholar, and refuted them one by one.

"It is easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a lover. This is a classic quote from Yu Xuanji."

"Mo'er, have you ever thought about why this sentence is so classic? It's because there are so many infatuated women and unfaithful men in this world."

"Those poor scholars swear to love you till death, but when they become rich, they immediately throw their wives aside."

"Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. As women, we cannot bet our lives on a man's conscience and affection. Once we lose the bet, our lives are over."

"Instead of pursuing the illusory true love, it is better to embrace money and power. Love will deceive you, but power and wealth will not."

"You also can't believe in the nonsense of moral blackmail. Why do men who pursue fame and fortune have ambition, and women who want to marry into a wealthy family have high aspirations and are greedy and shameless? There is no such logic in this world."

At this point, Lin Qinshuang said quietly, "Back then, I didn't listen to your grandmother. I gave up my dignity and lowered my status to become your father's concubine. That's why I have lived a life of luxury for more than ten years. If I had really believed her lies and married a poor scholar, I would either be destitute and live in a broken kiln, or he would cruelly abandon me and torture me to death after he became rich. I have never regretted my choice. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still choose this path."
