"Brother, you know perfectly well what the Ma family is up to and who they are supporting. How could you do this, aiding and abetting evil?"

The girl's accusations were merciless; she genuinely felt that her only relative was doing something despicable.

Yi Yi couldn't help but think for a moment: if Zhu Yi Yi were really here, how sad would she be facing her only relative who didn't understand her at all?

Having put herself in the role, Yi Yi looked at her younger sister, who was now almost as tall as her, and coldly uttered two words: "Naive."

Interrupting Zhu Qianxiao's attempt to retort, Yi Yi continued, "Do you know how lucky you are to have been born into the prosperous Yangcheng, instead of one of those countless impoverished mountain villages in this war-torn country where people can't even get enough to eat? Do you know how fortunate you are to have been born into the Zhu family, where you can grow up safely without worrying about food and drink? Do you know how incredibly lucky you are to be the second child of the Zhu family's eldest branch? If it weren't for the things I did that were to aid and abet evil, do you think you would be living such an easy life?!"

“That’s not even relevant right now!” Zhu Qianxiao listened quietly to Yi Yi’s long speech before continuing her rebuttal: “I can endure hardship. As long as I have a breath left, I’m willing to speak out for those who are suffering! Brother knows that there are millions of people suffering in our country. We’ve finally found a way to save them, so why would you help those executioners block that path?”

"How can this not be the problem? If you weren't the second young lady of the Zhu family, do you think you would have the leisure to care about these things? You can't even properly mourn your parents as a daughter, let alone support the entire Zhu family!" Yi Yi sneered, walked to the table, turned around and sat down. Her gaze, looking up at her, didn't waver in the slightest; instead, it was filled with a condescending and oppressive aura. "Can you still so casually say that I'm harming the country and aiding and abetting evil?"

"You..." Zhu Qianxiao's chest heaved with anger. She pointed at Yi Yi, her fingertips trembling. "But you can't be so blind to right and wrong! They are tyrants! They are invaders! They are harming our compatriots! Can you just turn a blind eye to all of this?!"

Yi Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her emotions, and said in a soft voice, "Xiao Xiao, you are still young, and there are many things you don't understand. Everything I did was to protect the Zhu family and to protect you."

"But brother, we can't ignore the lives of others!" Zhu Qianxiao's eyes flickered, and tears welled up in them. "Do we have to sacrifice others for our own benefit?"

“This is a dog-eat-dog world where only the strong survive.” Yi Yi stood up and placed her hands on the table. “We have to make a choice: either be eliminated or become the strong.”

Zhu Qianxiao bit her lip, looking at Yi Yi with a determined gaze: "I don't want to become that kind of selfish person. I want to fight for justice!"

Yi Yi sighed: "Xiao Xiao, you're too idealistic. Reality is cruel; sometimes good people don't get good rewards."

"Even if the road ahead is difficult, I'm not afraid!" Zhu Qianxiao raised her chin. "I believe that one day, justice will prevail over evil!"

"What is justice and what is evil? Zhu Qianxiao, what you're saying is so naive!" Yi Yi couldn't help but say some harsh words.

Zhu Qianxiao stood there, pale-faced, tears welling in her eyes. She couldn't understand why her once gentle and kind older sister had become like this.

With trembling lips, Zhu Qianxiao uttered incredulously, "...Corrupt officials, cunning merchants, and ruthless bandits are all entities that shake the very foundation of the nation. I didn't believe the outside world's evaluation of you before, but now, sister, how did you become like this?"

Yi Yi's eyes widened instantly as she looked at her sister, whose eyes were filled with disappointment. She spoke with a sorrowful voice, "A cunning merchant and a ruthless bandit? Is that how you see me? Is that how you interpret everything I've done?"

"Isn't that right?!" Zhu Qianxiao suddenly lowered her head and closed her eyes, letting large tears fall straight onto the floor. "Sister also knows that the survival of the country is hanging by a thread, and so many people outside are not even clothed, but sister started a high-end Hanfu fashion business and sold it to those foreigners, ruining our country's culture!"

Zhu Qianxiao was clearly angry and spoke without thinking, even blurting out the wrong address.

But Yi Yi blinked and seemed a little stunned.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qianxiao became concerned about this point.

Speaking of Han-style fashion, Yi Yi originally wanted to design some clothes that could make up for her shortcomings when dressing as a man, just like her semi-permanent cape that has been teased several times, which was designed to visually increase the width of her shoulders.

After designing it, I thought I might as well sell it since I'd already made it, so I put it in my own shop to sell.

Contrary to her expectations that her designs were groundbreaking and insightful, the response was actually quite poor, with most people finding Yi Yi's clothes somewhat incongruous.

Yi Yi immediately changed its marketing target, no longer making the clothes available to everyone, but instead using better materials to sell them specifically to wealthy people.

After the target market changed, thanks to Yi Yi's own hard work, she firmly held onto the position of head of the Zhu family and even made her position bigger and bigger.

In particular, many foreigners showed unprecedented interest in Yi Yi's clothes, and ordered several sets.

With the support of such a celebrity, Yi Yi's idea gradually became more refined.

That's how her brand, which was initially perceived as mismatched and inappropriate, came to become a fashion trendsetter.

It was just a small idea that she put into practice, but unexpectedly it brought her a lot of connections and resources.

After all, these young ladies and wives are also a good way to make connections.

Thinking about it this way, it's clear why Zhu Qianxiao had such strong opinions about Yi Yi's "modified Han elements".

After figuring it out, Yi Yi's expression faltered for a moment...

I never expected someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes to be so feudal.

But there are other ideas behind promoting this style of clothing.

Yi Yi sighed and said to Zhu Qianxiao, "Is this how you view the clothing brand I founded? Don't you really think that after our style became popular, the criticism of your unusual menswear style has decreased?"

Indeed, compared to the real "Butterfly Lovers" story, where everyone was still very young when they started school and their sexual characteristics were not yet visible, Zhu Qianxiao, who started school at 16 and is now 18, looks quite different from the boys around her.

On several occasions, Zhu Qianxiao's gender was questioned prematurely and excessively, to the point that her cerebellum issued warnings.

Yi Yi then chose to develop her clothing style into a popular trend.

After all, besides Hanfu elements, the most distinctive feature of her brand is also—

neutral.

That's right, it's unisex, blurring the lines between genders. The brand's designs unify men's and women's clothing, no longer emphasizing differences like skirts, suits, long gowns, or cheongsams.

This is the fundamental reason why Yi Yi does things that transcend the ideas of this era.

To reduce students' doubts about Zhu Qianxiao's gender.

Although the physiological differences in sexual characteristics have not been erased, resulting in the continued exclusion in many parts of the story, that is where Liang Churen needs to shine.
