Xiao Ran's arrogant attitude disgusted the group of people from Huyang County who had come to join in the fun.

They whispered among themselves, "She's just a woman, it doesn't matter who he marries, why does he have to marry such an arrogant one..."

"That's right... let's not join in the fun."

With that, the group returned to their seats.

Suddenly, a sweet voice rang out: "What are you all doing?"

They looked and saw a sweet-looking woman who immediately won their hearts.

This is much better than that arrogant one in the tree.

They told the woman the whole story.

They had expected the woman to join them in complaining about Xiao Ran, but to their surprise, she pouted angrily.

"You bunch of fools! Sister Xiao is so kind. If I were you, I would be willing to die under the pear tree."

Several people scolded, "You little brat..."

"What little girl! I have a name..." The woman slammed her hand on the table: "My name is Gu Yunfu!"

None of them dared to utter a sound.

How can women in this world be so terrifying? They're all so beautiful, yet their tempers are so arrogant.

Yun Fu didn't say anything more, but turned around and said, "Young Master Chu, should we tell General Xiao first..."

But when I looked up, Chu Ling was nowhere to be seen.

The crowd made a lot of noise, and many pear blossoms inevitably fell from the pear tree. Xiao Ran carefully collected the pear blossoms and hid them in her sleeve.

After she finished, she asked the cook to make her pear blossom cake.

From under the tree came a desperate plea: "Grandma, please come down! Can't we be fair? You can choose someone from among us who is acceptable, and we'll back down."

Xiao Ran chuckled: "Now you should back down. Where did your arrogance go?"

They looked at each other.

I only knew that General Xiao's daughter was shrewd and calculating, but I never knew that she was also so good at light footwork.

They have absolutely no chance of winning!

"Since you can't win, you should admit defeat!"

Xiao Ran sat up and looked down at everyone: "Your biggest mistake is underestimating others. You now see me as a fish on a chopping board, and think of me as a helpless woman, because you have never considered that women are never inferior to men!"

"Men establish their careers and make achievements in the world, while we women stay at home to support our husbands and raise our children. You only see the people in the court, riding high on the winds, but you never think about how we women walk on thin ice and face difficulties at home."

“We have always been equal,” Xiao Ran said. “We are like friends and like enemies; we should not look down on anyone.”

As they spoke, the sound under the pear tree gradually faded away.

Some of them felt ashamed and uneasy about their previous dirty thoughts, while others thought about their own family situation... Gradually, a few people withdrew.

"Miss Xiao's words of advice have taught me a lot. As a man who has made great achievements in the army, I am ashamed to have been arrogant and disrespectful to women."

Someone else said, "My mother is just a concubine. Miss Xiao's words make me understand my mother's good intentions. I didn't understand why she fought so fiercely in the household before, but now I understand..."

The soldier who first expressed his interest in her said, "When you meet a woman you admire, you should respect her wishes and understand her situation..."

He mustered his courage and said, "Miss Xiao, I still like you! But I won't do it this way again... I will use my abilities to attract you."

Thinking of her past life, Xiao Ran smiled helplessly.

“I am just an ordinary woman. Once you leave the army, you will know that there are many women better than me... Don’t waste your time on me.”
