Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

The breeze was blowing gently in the pavilion. Zhao Luoshu sat elegantly in the main seat with a faint sneer on her lips:

"Song Wanyin, I heard that you had a failed marriage, and it seems that you and Gu Qingchen divorced?

For us women, divorce is the same as being abandoned. It seems that you have violated one of the seven reasons for women's misconduct.

However, you come from a noble family, and you are the daughter of the former Grand Commandant. It is reasonable that you should be a well-educated and well-mannered woman. This is really unexpected."

The noble ladies present were all silent and cast curious glances at Song Wanyin. Some of them were waiting to see a good show, some were waiting for the shocking secret, and some sympathized with her situation.

Seeing that her sister openly refused to give Song Wanyin a way out, Zhao Yundi immediately stood up to defend him:

"Royal sister, as far as I know, Gu Qingchen betrayed his trust and secretly kept a mistress outside, and even got that woman pregnant.

After returning from the expedition, he used his military achievements to ask his father for permission to marry a concubine, and he did not take his wife seriously at all.

The most important thing for us women is to be respected. How can a husband who doesn’t know how to respect his wife be worth a woman giving everything for?

Wan Yin used to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She worked hard and diligently to manage household chores, take care of her mother-in-law, and clean up the mess made by her useless younger brothers and sisters.

Any one of them would spread among the people and almost everyone knew about it.

My sister, please do not listen to the slander of the villain and wrongly accuse Wan Yin. This is unfair to her."

Zhao Luoshu reprimanded harshly:

"Yundi, how can you talk to me like this?

I noticed that you have been very close to her recently, so don't let anyone take advantage of you.

Yiran's parents passed away when he was young, leaving him alone and helpless, but he is also our sibling.

My father couldn't bear to favor her too much, so he spoiled her a little, but she is not a bad person by nature.

Instead of standing on the side of your own people, you are wholeheartedly on the side of outsiders and working together against your own people.

I think you are really ill. You should go see a doctor."

There was a hint of calmness in Song Wanyin's eyes, and he responded to ever-changing situations with constancy.

Although she and Gu Qingchen had divorced, she did not feel humiliated or embarrassed. Instead, she thought that the eldest princess's words were directed at her.

"Princess, I think I have a clear conscience.

Perhaps there was someone who wanted to sow discord and deliberately confused right and wrong, thus causing the misunderstanding."

Seeing her stubbornness, Zhao Luoshu sneered:

"Misunderstanding? Is it because the Gu family divorced you for no reason?

Do you know what divorce means to a woman?

This means that you are not a good wife and mother who takes care of your husband and children. Even your husband is unwilling to protect you. You are despised by the entire family and bear the eternal infamy.

Oh, I almost forgot, you have been married into the Gu family for three years but have no children. No wonder your husband's family doesn't want you.

Rumors are spreading everywhere, and it is difficult to tell what is true and what is false, which will also damage your clean reputation.

I don't believe it, don't you understand the logic behind this?

As a woman, you should not be too strong. You have ruined this game of chess."

Seeing that she was determined to embarrass herself in public, Song Wanyin suddenly felt like she was talking to a cow, and spoke calmly:

"Princess, which woman wants to be strong?

Behind all the strength, there is only endless bitterness and grievances.

We women are born to be a vulnerable group. Once our husband favors his concubine, he will abandon his wife.

The wife will either be a widow for the rest of her life or be murdered by the concubine.

Which one didn't end in tragedy?

Even you, the eldest princess, are a pitiful person too. You married into your husband's family not long ago and you haven't even established any feelings with him yet, but your husband died on the battlefield.

You have no say in your marriage, and after your husband dies, you have to marry his younger brother.

Do you want people to talk behind your back, thinking that you are born to be unlucky in marriage and that you will kill your husband soon after getting married?

These rumors are like an invisible blade that can drive people to death.

If the prince consort heard this, wouldn't he be suspicious?"

Zhao Luoshu was speechless for a moment after hearing her words. She felt as if her chest was blocked by a nameless anger, which made it hard for her to breathe.

You are so brave, Song Wanyin, you actually dared to embarrass me in public, you are so courageous!

The noble ladies present suddenly felt that what Song Wanyin said made a lot of sense, and even put themselves in her situation and felt unwilling.

A woman gives everything she has for her husband's family in her life, even to the point of losing herself, but what does she get in the end?

Even though they agreed with Song Wanyin's point of view, no one dared to speak out. They all knew the eldest princess' temper and did not dare to offend her easily.

Suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out from the crowd:

"Song Wanyin, you are quite good at finding excuses for yourself.

I don't even want to talk about the dirty things you did, but you are the first to accuse me?"

All the noble ladies looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Qingzhi sitting in the corner, her eyes full of discrimination and contempt for Song Wanyin.

Zhao Luoshu's eyes lit up and she took a sip of tea calmly. Finally, someone involved stood up and spoke.

"Hey, isn't this the third young lady of the Gu family?

Seeing you look so unwilling, is there any hidden reason behind the divorce?"

Seeing the princess asking a question, Gu Qingzhi finally couldn't help but stand up and raised her voice to confront Song Wanyin:

"Song Wanyin, if it weren't for your natural jealousy, you wouldn't tolerate my elder brother taking a concubine and would have interfered.

In order to take revenge on the Gu family, you deliberately stopped my mother's medicine and sent away the famous doctor who was treating my mother, causing my mother's eye disease to worsen and she has been bedridden for a long time.

He also led all the servants in the mansion to rebel together, tightly grasping the power of the household, and trying to force the Gu family into a desperate situation.

Later, you used despicable means to drive my second sister crazy, kill my cousins, and sow discord between us and the second and third branches.

With your own strength, you have disturbed the Gu family and made everyone in the family in a state of panic. In the end, the Gu family fell into decline due to your conspiracy, and even my eldest brother was demoted.

"You dare not take responsibility for what you did? What else can you say?"

Zhao Luoshu sneered:

"Oh? There is such a thing?

Song Wanyin, didn’t you just keep saying that it was the Gu family who betrayed you first?

Or are you feeling guilty and making excuses for yourself?"

Her words were full of provocation, and she deliberately wanted to push Song Wanyin to the forefront.

Song Wanyin lowered her eyes to hide the sharp cold light in the corners of her eyes, and said in a loud voice:

"Gu Qingzhi, why don't you dare to tell the truth?

Or are you afraid that others will know that your Gu family looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but is actually a cannibalism clan, relying on my dowry to support your entire family.

Wouldn't it be further proved that Gu Qingchen is a man who only knows how to live off his wife? After all, your Gu family was a well-known and prominent family in the past.

One day, I have fallen to the point where I have to rely on a woman to support the whole sky. Where is my face? Where is my dignity? Where is my moral bottom line?"
